MLS Antoine Griezmann faces humidity in Orlando

Antoine Griezmann, eager to join the United States to finish his career there, is already showing signs of fatigue in Orlando, where the Florida climate sometimes proves difficult to endure.

A Stifling Summer in Florida

The Mâcon native may not have anticipated that the high summer humidity would make the heat even more oppressive, a factor that weighs on players accustomed to milder conditions.

A Revealing First Match

This weekend, during the Orlando versus San Diego match (1‑0), the Frenchman was clearly seen struggling, his face betraying the discomfort caused by the heat.

Despite that, Griezmann has had an excellent start in MLS: over the last four matches, he has scored four goals and provided two assists.

His team, one of the weakest in the league before his arrival, has collected seven points in four games, a sign of a notable improvement.

« Every time I make a pass to him, I feel he can do something », said the young Justin Ellis, the decisive passer in the win against San Diego, highlighting how easily he finds Grizi.

Welcomed with great fanfare, the Frenchman is already the idol of Orlando supporters, to whom he devotes significant minutes after matches, further reinforcing his status as a central figure of the club.
