00:00So, what can I tell you about Grizou, my darling?
00:06Obviously, it's not a decision on a whim.
00:12It's a decision that was taken by Antoine after a reflection that has matured and come to fruition.
00:25Like other players before him, Antoine, from his career until today,
00:32he started, as you probably know, in the professional world at the age of 18,
00:37by playing well-filled seasons, very rarely injured.
00:45So, today, at the age of 33 and a half,
00:51I would say it's a natural and logical question,
00:57as all players can ask themselves.
01:00Because, of course, with all these seasons, competitions,
01:05everything he's done with his club, with his clubs and with the French team,
01:11there's a physical fatigue, but there's also a psychological fatigue.
01:16When we talk about physical fatigue, there's the sequence, the calendars that don't go away,
01:22but there's also, and we don't talk about it enough, the psychological fatigue.
