The new generation of Greek football continues to collect “decorations”. The renowned “L’Equipe” which instituted the Golden Ball Award, published the list of the world’s 30 best players, born in 2007. Among them there are Konstantinos Karetsas and Babis Kostoulas.
Babis Kostoulas had been posting last week at No.18 on the list of “Equipe” when the positions were announced 11-20. Today, with the announcement of the Top 10, at No9 is Constantine Karetsas!
A great and double distinction for Greek football with players under the age of 18, which until recently could not be imagined. The stunning season they made, Karetsas with Genk and the Men’s National and Kostoulas and Olympiacos, launched their reputation internationally and brought about this development.
No surprise for the first of the list, which is none other than Lamin Yamal, who is followed by his teammate in Barcelona, Pau Koumbars. It is worth noting that in addition to Greece, more than one player in the Top 20 have only countries with a huge tradition of highlighting talents such as Spain, France, Portugal, Serbia and also England.
