Pogba: I"m very proud of Griezmann

© Getty Images Paul Pogba is certainly one of France"s best. After captaining his side to FIFA U-20 World Cup glory in 2013, he has since stepped up to represent his country at the highest level, featuring at the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ in Brazil and reaching the final of UEFA EURO 2016 in his homeland. The 23-year-old has also represented Les Bleus admirably by becoming one of the world"s standout midfielders at club level, winning four consecutive Serie A titles with Juventus before becoming the most expensive player on the planet with a multi-million pound move to Manchester United last year.
The imposing midfielder is emblematic of a new generation of French talent, perhaps the finest collection of players since ​the country hosted and won the 1998 World Cup, led by one of Pogba"s idols Zinedine Zidane. Like his friend and France team-mate Antoine Griezmann, the Manchester United man was nominated for The Best FIFA Men"s Player, making the shortlist of 23. The Atl..

Godin: Griezmann"s had an amazing, spectacular year

fifa.noJSVideoMessage “I remember telling him: ‘I can’t say if we’ll win anything, but I do know we’re going to have a good time’.” Diego Godin laughed as he recalled the first time he spoke to Antoine Griezmann, a player who has since become one of his closest friends in the game.
That conversation came in the summer of 2014, when the Frenchman was rumoured to be on the point of joining Atletico Madrid. One of the leaders of the Colchonero dressing room, Godin made a point of being the first to welcome him. “We had mutual friends and I knew he was coming so I decided to give him a call,” the Uruguayan told FIFA.com. “I’d been told he was a fun person to be with and that he needed to feel welcome and wanted by people to perform well on the pitch.”
Godin took that last part very seriously indeed. No sooner did the striker make the move to Atleti than the Uruguayan centre-half became his guide and mentor. Griezmann’s passion for yerba mate infusions, which he had developed during his t..

Griezmann"s first coach on the boy who became a star

© Getty Images France had just lost the final of UEFA EURO 2016. Amid the euphoria and heartbreak, all that Antoine Griezmann could do was watch Portugal lift the trophy – and, struggling to wipe away his tears, the tournament"s top scorer and best player could barely manage that. There had been tears a month earlier too, when the France forward had seen Cristiano Ronaldo hoist another piece of silverware aloft following Real Madrid"s UEFA Champions League showpiece victory against Atletico.
For Griezmann, this was nothing new. Finals have developed a painful habit of ending the same way for the 25-year-old, who can no longer hide from the post-match jamboree. How much easier it was when the Griezmann of today was still just little Antoine from Macon, a bright-eyed young talent taking his first steps in the game.
“The first year I had him we hadn"t lost a game all season and I recall a tournament in Macon where we lost the final on penalties,” says Griezmann"s fir..
