Antoine Griezmann's arrival at Orlando City has been marked by a level of dedication that has impressed the club's leadership. Ricardo Moreira, the sporting director, describes the 2018 World Cup winner as an immense professional who never acts like a star player.
According to Moreira, Griezmann is consistently the first to arrive at the training ground, often appearing as early as 6:00 AM. He spends time watching the sunrise, drinking mate, and walking barefoot on the pitch to connect with the grass and the ball. This routine highlights his deep-rooted passion for football, which remains undiminished after his tenure at Atletico Madrid.
To celebrate his presence, the club gifted him a custom director's chair printed with "GRIZI 7" in gold. The club management notes that this humble and focused approach has been instrumental in his quick integration into the squad as he embarks on his American journey.
