PARIS, FRANCE – Back to school isn’t always fun. Unless you’re starting out at the CLR Academy with Antoine Griezmann as your football teacher.
Launched on July 31st, Decathlon’s new global campaign dedicated to its latest football boots, the CLR RED, sets the tone for the season with a new season with a special guest: Antoine Griezmann, serving as the “professor of football knowledge” at the CLR Academy.
A Back-to-School Like No Other
It’s the first day at the CLR Academy. In a lively classroom, students chat, laugh, and set the mood. Suddenly, the door swings open: Antoine Griezmann, or rather, “Professor Griezmann”, steps in, wearing a pair of red CLR RED boots. Instant silence. First test: “So, does everyone have their CLRs?” In unison, all the students proudly put their boots on the table. Perfect, class can begin.
Pop Quiz, Technical Moves, and Football Culture
No boring lectures here, just a real pop quiz: technical moves, quizzes on Griezmann’s iconic goals, shot angles, and nods to football culture, from “Cholismo” to France vs. the Netherlands classics. Antoine sets the tone, teases his students, and sips maté between lessons. The students, initially distracted, are soon captivated by the world champion’s football vision, and above all, united by the same passion and the same boots.
