The European soccer season, long and arduous, hangs on the horizon. “Bravo Clarisse,” he wrote on X, in honor of the French judoka Clarisse Agbegnenou, who had just claimed a bronze medal in Paris. Griezmann was not going to let the small matter of distance — or having to go through the grueling preseason training of his coach, Diego Simeone — prevent him from either watching the Olympics or proclaiming each French success to the world.
