Griezmann Speaks On Winning The Ballon d’Or 2018

-


Atletico Madrid striker, Antione Griezmann has expressed his desire to win this season’s Ballon d’Or award.
Recall that Griezmann was shortlisted for the 2018 Ballon d’Or last month.
The 27-year-old, while admitting that there are other players who can win the Europe topflight individual prize, stated that he hopes to win the award.
Griezmann stated this following France’s 1-0 victory over Uruguay on Tuesday in an international friendly encounter.
“I want to win it [Ballon d’Or] too,” Goal quoted Griezmann as saying after France defeated Uruguay.
When asked if he felt obsessed with the prize, Griezmann responded: “No that is a problem with France.
“People there do not like when you seek something for yourself individually, but I’m proud to be there and hopefully I will win it.
“Of course, there are other people who can win it and they deserve it too, so let’s see what happens.”
Griezmann had called for the Ballon d’Or to be given to a member of the France 2018 World Cup-winning team.
The France international has been impressive so far this season, scoring six goals and assisting five for Diego Simeone’s side.
Griezmann will hope to lead Atletico to victory when they tackle La Liga league leaders, Barcelona at home this weekend.

Talks between Arsenal and midfielder Aaron Ramsey over a new contract have broken down. Ramsey’s existing deal expires on 30 June 2019 and the Gunners had been hopeful of tying up fresh terms. But negotiations have stopped and, barring an unlikely resumption, the 27-year-old will be sold in January or become a free agent next summer. As things stand, the Welshman will be able to sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club from 1 January. Ramsey joined the Gunners in 2008 in a £4.8m move from hometown club Cardiff City. He is Arsenal’s longest-serving player and scored the winning goals in the 2014 and 2017 FA Cup finals. Ramsey was an 84th-minute substitute in the Gunners’ 3-1 defeat of Brentford in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

PREMIER LEAGUE!! Diego Costa Reveals Why He Regrets Joining Chelsea

Former Chelsea striker, Diego Costa has said that he never should have joined Chelsea. The former striker also threw a dig at Antonio Conte, the manager who exiled him before he moved to Atletico Madrid during the summer transfer window in 2017. Costa spent four successful seasons in the Spanish capital before signing for Chelsea in 2014 for a transfer fee of £32million. In his four years at Stamford Bridge, Costa won two Premier League titles and the League Cup. His Chelsea career came to an acrimonious end last summer after being told by Conte via text message that he did not have a future at the club. “It was a very bad moment, but it wasn’t my fault,” Costa told Marca. “People said things, but time puts everything in its place; look where the coach is, look at Conte. “I was wrong going to Chelsea, because of their way of dealing with things. Cholo [Atletico coach Diego Simeone] is a direct coach, and when he doesn’t love you, it’s clear and he shows it. “At ...

Eden Hazard To Miss Chelsea’s Europa League Clash Against PAOK For This Reason

   Maurizio Sarri has left Eden Hazard out of Chelsea’s travelling 21-man squad for their Europa League group-stage opener at PAOK Salonika. The Belgian forward, 27, scored a hat-trick against Cardiff at the weekend but has not made the trip to Greece. However, the likes of Gary Cahill, Cesc Fabregas and Ethan Ampadu should all come into consideration. Wales midfielder Ampadu, 18, signed a new five-year contract with the Blues on Wednesday. Fabregas, 31, has not started a game for Chelsea since their Community Shield defeat by Manchester City. But the Spanish midfielder returned to training last week after struggling with a knee injury. England midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek may also feature if he has recovered fully from a problem with his right tibia that kept him out against the Bluebirds. Chelsea Squad: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Willy Caballero, Marcin Bulka, Toni Rudiger, Marcos Alonso, Cesc Fabregas, Jorginho, N’Golo Kante, Ross Barkley, Pedro, Ruben Loftus...
