Antoine Greezmann scored the second goal in the match against Uruguay and surprised everyone by not celebrating, writes Periscopi.
We're used to watching players respecting their former clubs by not celebrating the goal, but Grizmann respected Uruguay by not celebrating because he was exactly a citizen of this country who had helped him through his early soccer career.
I didn't celebrate my goal because when I started my football career, a Uruguayn helped me. He was the one who taught me the good and bad things about football. I have a lot of respect for this place,” said Griesmann.
“Diego Godin is my son's godfather. I have consideration for Ururgaj. I even played against my two friends at Atletico Madrid and couldn't celebrate in their eyes,”. /Periscope/
