“Griezy is a fantastic player, and one we have to be aware of.” ThreeLions
The reigning World Cup champions provide a tough obstacle for Gareth Southgate’s men to overcome at Al Bayt Stadium in Saturday evening’s quarter-final.
“I didn’t even know that,” the England right-back said when told of that run. “I was lucky to play with him. Experienced.“He picks up spaces. He scores goals as well. He is one of those when even in training he is clever where he picks up space. Trippier speaks glowingly about his time under Diego Simeone, with Griezmann among those that helped him thrive in Spain.
“He helped me with the language and was really important to me. As well as being a great team-mate on the pitch.” “I spoke to Griezy a couple of months back. Obviously he’s doing his thing, I’m doing mine. It’s one of those where on Instagram you speak and wish each other well and stuff like that.” Trippier also starred in Russia four years ago and echoed team-mate Harry Maguire’s belief that there is a shift in the mentality and expectation of the group since then.
