Antoine Griezmann and his new pink hair

Antoine Griezmann is both an engaging player and personality and has been a member of the French national team since the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Regularly ranked among the favourite sportspeople of France, the Atlético Madrid striker likes to put on a show.

This was demonstrated by his wonderful imitation of his coach, Didier Deschamps. The public has also been able to discover his brand-new haircut. Indeed, after the final against Argentina, the Colchonero needed a change and revealed himself with fuchsia pink dyed hair. A visual treat.

Griezmann reveals the crazy reason

While the reactions of fans are mixed, it must be admitted that his new hairstyle has an advantage — his teammates can easily find him on the pitch. But in fact, is there a reason for this choice of colour? Yes, according to the player himself, who spoke to Marca about the subject:

With my haircuts, that's how you can tell if I'm happy or not. Since I was a kid, it's always been like that, the look, the colours... It was between blue and pink. I have three girls at home and we are only two boys, we voted and pink won.

So, a family vote seems to be the cause!
