Among journalists there are rumors that Antoine Griezmann will be the one to break Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's dominance in the international football arena.
This week we already announced that the cards have been stacked so that the best football player on the planet this year will be the player currently playing in Madrid, as the "France Football" journalist team has already arranged interviews and a photo session in the Spanish capital.
Relying on these reports, the three candidates to win the "Golden Ball" are Luka Modric, Raphael Varane (both from "Real") and A. Griezmann ("Atletico").
After this information, some journalists, including Italian Tancredi Palmeri, reported that the best football player of the year will most likely be recognized as French national team striker A. Griezmann, who along with Raphael Varane, who is also on the same list, triumphed in the World Cup last summer.
A. Griezmann won the UEFA Europa League and the Super Cup with "Atletico", but logically these trophies should not be a priority in these awards.
The 27-year-old footballer scored 29 goals in 49 matches last season, while so far in 16 games he has only scored six goals.
