Everything was perfect brother but only one from my pov griezmann deserved to be in top 10 without him france would not have won the 2018 wc and in 2016 he dominated the whole tournament. He was robbed in 2018 ballon d'or
Without Giresse on the top 20 we can understand that Griezmann is after Deschamps, Blanc, Desailly, Papin and Viera. In France from Kopa time there is a strong tradition to apreciate the very clever Mielfielders. The top 4 'brains' of the french football history are Kopa, Giresse, Zidane and Griezmann. The problem of Griezmann (which is not really a problem ) is that he is also a very good striker. In fact Griezmann started when he was young as a mieldfielder but as he was very good striker was used as a striker. But in France from just before the world cup 2018 he played as number 10 and he is considered as a number 10 as clever as the devil. But you know it in Great Britain because at the last world cup in 1/4, around ten minutes before the end of the game he went for the first time of the play (to surprise the three lyon's team) to the area of MBappé where nothing happened during the match mainly because Walker was very good, and just made a simple cross for Giroud and bing the 1/2 final. This is a pure exemple of the Griezmann legendary touch. This is why Griezmann is also the french player that he is the most decisive player in three main tournaments where the team reached the finale (2016, 2018, 2022) with 10 goals and 7 assists (I think that in the 21 st century the only european player that is better in main international team tournaments is Ronaldo) and to compare with Zidane (1998, 2000, 2006) who made only 7 goals and only 4 assists . Apparently Griezmann is also influenced by a very good english players, that i liked, who is steven Gerrard. For the club stats of Griezmann of course Atletico is a small club that has never had any player wining the Golden Ball but nevertheless Griezmann is on the top 5 of the most decisive players (Goals and assists) in the liga History. He striked more goals than Suarez for example and gave more assists than Iniesta and also made twice more assists than Modric. Which is surprising because Modric played with Benzema and Ronaldo as strikers (Number 2 and Number 3 strikers of the liga history) at the same time. By the way Blanc was very good number 5 (but not as good as Varane), but Griezmann performs better tackles as Blanc used to. It makes me remember the tackle of Griezmann on Messi (it was a pure chance for argentina) at the 1/8 in 2018.
Papin Grizou and Kopa are far too low ! Grizou is easily better than Kanté and it's not even close. Best french player most of the time between 2016 and 2022 with the national team
@@nottheonefromearth top 3 ballon d'or 2016 and 2018 because of french team. Kanté never was that high. He is arguably the 3rd most influential player in french team history after Zidane and Platini
Excellent piece but your work has some glaring errors for example: 1. Omitting Giroud's three FA Cup wins at Arsenal 2. Arsenal didn't win the league in 2003, that would be Man United. 3. Leicester didn't win the league in 2015, that would be Chelsea. Do something about those errors as they will lead to misinformation.
It’s Obvious that Zidane and Platini are 1 and 2 but Which Order? Id say Platini Is favored 80%-20% vs Zidane. He has 3 Ballon Dors vs 1 for Zidane. He didn’t have a WC but didn’t play with the likes of Henry, Patrick , Thuram and Even a young Ribery. Platini was a better goal scorer was more consistent in UCL and Country and more importantly IMO fended Off more impressive players from his era. Zidane was brilliant beyond belief but was seen as in a mix of 2 or so players after R9 as the best player in the world at his best. Platini on the other hand was seen as the best player in the 80s ahead of monsters like Gullit Van Basten and Rijkaard as well as Rumminegge and Matthaus. Platini was better than all of them only Maradona was seen as superior. That’s my case for Platini 🇫🇷
Kopa should be in the top 3 alongside Platini and Zidane. Number 12 is so disrespectful for such a great player, one of the greatest of his generation. Too much recency bias.
Kopa should be way higher over Blanc cantona mbappe Fontaine and dessailly and Fontaine and dechamps should be over dessailly and Thuram aswel and where are petit Ribéry and makelele they are definitely better than Giroud tigana and tresor even ginola is beter than them and Ribéry and makelele are even better than Griezman kante papin Blanc Benzema and more in this list 😅
How it happened that majority of the French world champions from 1998 and 2018 did not make top 10? Where is Franck Ribery? This French top-20 list is flawed.

Agreed. He has been the key player for France over the last 10 years and his arrival coincides with France being a top dog again.
Very underrated.
This channel is pretty good
Griezmann deserved to be in top 10
Please create a top 20 Spanish Players 🇪🇸
Everybody gangsta until Benzema starting scoring...
Benzema IS definitely above Giroud and Kante, cmon.
I think not
where is franck ribery😡
He was not noticeable at international level only on club level soo
@roseshachaju8643 dude reached a world cup final bruv
How long do you guys think it will take Mbappe to pass Giroud’s goal record for France?
Great list bro
Awesome video 🔥🔥
Benzema at 15 😂
If we count hugely their International career with France then he is right about there.
My problem is Griezmann should be higher.
@@nikosofidemporashe meant something else...
Franck Ribery, Bixente Lizarazu?
Benzema is as underrated as Thomas Müller.
Zidane, Platini, Henry, Mbappe, Papin, Giresse, Griezman, Viera, Desailly ...
Lots of great players in this list, but no way Pires can be left out!
I miss Djorkaeff. Thuram is too high ranked
agree

Mbappe will definiely move up in coming years
Mbappe most likely will be at the very top after 10 years or so
I doubt it.
Nah. Platini and Zidane were better players, Mbappe must improve so much on his game and he is 25-26 yo. I just don’t see it
@@Nenodom he is already at top 4 french goats😂🎉

There was also an obvious mistake. And it is that Benzema didn't only play for Lyon and Real Madrid, he is also playing for al ittihad currently.

I think Zizou is generally considered one of the top 5 players in all history though, so him being the best french player ever makes sense.

Antoine at 17? He could be top 5 almost!
Perhaps Lizarazu is missing there?
le manque de respect envers Griezmann est trop important !!
How is benzema under griezmann, kante and mbappé?
Griezmann is top 10 for sure.
ZIDANE GOAT!!!
Benzema 15th? What a joke
He must make the top 10 he's been consistent and has recently won the ballon dor , he deserves to be higher than kante and Giroud honestly
Giroud is too high
