France are the reigning world champions in football. They have been a powerhouse throughout history and the country is rich in football heritage. Even so, the rate at which France has been producing world-class talent has been nothing short of astounding.

Didier Deschamps could field three top teams with the kind of talent he has at his disposal. An unexpected early exit from Euro 2020 would have hurt them but it can't be long before Les Bleus get back to their dominant best.

They are stocked to the brim with extremely gifted players. That is true of all departments. France have some of the best defenders, midfielders and forwards in the world. French players ply their trade all across Europe and there'd be at least one of them among the best players in any of the top European leagues.

Without further ado, let's take a look at five of the best French players in the world right now.

#5 Raphael Varane

A Rolls-Royce defender is something that Manchester United have lacked for a very long time. Raphael Varane's arrival has sorted that issue out. The French centre-back is one of the most well-rounded defenders in the world.

He is technically adept and is generally good in all aspects of his game. Varane has won some of the biggest prizes in football. He was a vital cog in the Real Madrid side that won three back-to-back Champions League titles. Varane also played a major role in France's 2018 World Cup triumph.

He is experienced but still has quite a lot of years left in the tank. The 28-year-old's excellent reading of the game, coupled with his decision-making and impressive pace on the pitch, make him a nightmare to go up against.

#4 Paul Pogba

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has been having an excellent year. He was arguably France's best player at Euro 2020, scoring one goal and providing one assist in four appearances. But his influence lies beyond the numbers as he orchestrated play for France with aplomb from deep.

Pogba has played in an advanced position for Manchester United this season. Although he is still occasionally deployed in midfield, the 28-year-old is at his best when he is playing further forward and is given the freedom to roam.

He has registered seven assists in five Premier League games so far this season and seems intent on making a statement this season.

Liverpool has been placed in the top-3 of UEFA’s latest club rankings – which determines the best clubs in Europe.

Jurgen Klopp’s side holds third place, just behind Bayern Munich (1st) and Man City (2nd).

The rankings are based on a club’s performances in UEFA competitions over the last 5 seasons, with LFC high because of their impressive performances in recent years.

Liverpool have around 107 points over the last 5 seasons and are ahead of defending Champions League holders Chelsea, PSG and Real Madrid.

Four-time World Cup winner Italy have been one of the most dominant forces in international football.

The Italians have always showcased a natural flair for the game and they continue to do so to this very day.

The Italian top-flight, known as Serie A, is widely considered to be the most tactical professional football league in the world. The Azzurri have housed some of the greatest footballers of all time. They last won the World Cup in 2006.

The national side has had to encounter its own share of ups and downs in recent times. There was a dip in the quality of talent but it looks like they're well on their way back to asserting their dominance.

Italy most recently won Euro 2020 and are the reigning champions of Europe. They have a squad that's brimming with world-class talent. Without further ado, let's take a look at five of the best Italian players in the world right now.

#5 Federico Chiesa (Juventus)

Federico Chiesa was a standout performer for Italy at Euro 2020. The Juventus winger's pace and directness helped add a sense of dynamism to Italy's attack. The 23-year-old is a relentless worker with great technical finesse and could go on to become a world-beater by the time he hits his peak.

Chiesa possesses a great burst of pace and is adept at taking defenders on and beating them. He can also play in a variety of positions across the frontline thanks to his technical ability and tactical intelligence.

Chiesa works very hard for his side and does not hide when he has to track back and help his defenders out. He is capable of scoring goals and setting up his teammates and is a livewire whenever he is on the pitch.

He scored 15 goals and provided 11 assists in 46 appearances across all competitions in the 2020-21 season for Juventus.

#4 Leonardo Bonucci (Juventus)

Leonardo Bonucci has been a reliable presence at the back for Italy for a very long time now. The duo of Bonucci and Chiellini were not dribbled past even once at Euro 2020.

Having started out as a midfielder, Bonucci slowly transitioned into a centre-back. Thanks to the nature of the grooming he received in his early days, he is an excellent ball playing defender.

Bonucci is also excellent at aerial duels and is a solid tackler as well. The 34-year-old also showcases great leadership qualities and is excellent at mashalling the backline. He has won nine Serie A titles in his career and played a big hand in Italy's triumph at Euro 2020 this past summer.

The relationship between a player and a manager is a fascinating one, with many claiming it's like a father and son relationship. Elements to this are true, such as the manager taking a player under his wing, teaching him and helping him prosper and grow.

What this sugar coated, Coach Carter-esque comparison overlooks is the fact that, often, both are egotistical multimillionaires full of pride, and this inevitably causes tension, rifts, power struggles and a lot of entertainment for the public. Sometimes these feuds are kept behind closed doors and you will only hear rumblings of fallouts, and sometimes these fallouts will be on full display in the middle of games, in press conferences, and of course on Twitter.

For the player, typical fallouts are due to the player not getting enough playing time or attention (the poor thing), or that there is too much pressure on their shoulders. For the manager, you will generally see them begin to lose their patience with players that are under-performing, not playing to their system, are out of shape or have the wrong attitude. Most of the time the manager will come out on top, but of course many players have a great deal of power in terms of their star appeal, and they may have the locker room behind them too. This creates a real power struggle between the player and the manager, with some fallouts creating so much drama that tuning into games feels more like watching a soap opera than a sport.



There are a few players and managers that seem to have fallouts at every single club they arrive at, and sometimes you have to wonder what the chairman was thinking when pairing certain players and managers together. Get your popcorn ready, as here are the top 20 fallouts between players and managers.

20. Ruud Van Nistelrooy v Marco Van Basten

These two Dutchmen have never seen eye to eye, which has led to a lot of controversy and frustration for fans of the national team. Issues surfaced when the striker was substituted in three of their last 32 World Cup games and not included in their exit against Portugal, before being dropped entirely for a friendly. Van Nistelrooy then refused a call up before announcing his international retirement. He then let his feelings about the manager be known publicly, stating that Van Basten dropped players because of their actions off the pitch. Peace was made and Van Nistelrooy returned to the Dutch team, but the relationship remained frosty between the two.

19. Harry Redknapp v Adel Taarabt

One of the quickest ways to anger someone is to call them fat. In a recent press conference, the QPR boss said that Adel Taarabt was “three stone overweight” which sparked a very public war of words between the 67-year-old Redknapp and the Moroccan. Adel Taarabt claimed that Redknapp never took any training sessions, which resulted in Redknapp declaring that Taarabt was “the worst professional” he has come across. With QPR struggling this could have been a motivational technique by Redknapp, or simply a manager who can see the exit door and no longer feels the need to protect certain players.

18. Davor Suker v John Toshack

When a player becomes a prolific scorer it can sometimes cause more problems than it solves, as they often have an inflated sense of self worth and feel that they are indispensable to the team. Suker won the Golden Boot at the 1998 World Cup and begun scoring for fun at Real Madrid, but the fun stopped when the Croatian criticized his manager's transfer decisions. The result? Toshack showed him who was boss and Suker was immediately suspended without pay, before being let go at the end of the season.

17. Louis van Gaal v Guy Thys

It is no surprise to see Louis van Gaal’s name in this list, as the Dutchman is famous for his many outbursts, benchings and fallouts as a manager. This fallout goes back to van Gaal’s playing days however, when he became infuriated with legendary Belgian coach Guy Thys. Thys had no problem in calling van Gaal slow, and when van Gaal asked how he should play in the second leg of a UEFA Cup game, Thys simply replied “like you normally do, slowly”. Despite playing well under Thys, van Gaal could not get along with him and looked to move away, stating that he would go back to teaching PE if the club tried to stop a move by demanding a large transfer fee.

16. Brian Clough v Nigel Jemson

Brian Clough was not a man to be messed with, as a fresh faced Nigel Jemson would learn after not taking a reserve game seriously. Clough asked the 19-year-old if he had ever been punched in the stomach, before delivering a right hook to his chest in the changing room. Lesson learnt. Despite Clough’s authoritative, and even physically abusive approach to managing, he was much loved and respected by all that played under him.

15. Jose Mourinho v Mario Balotelli

Before Roberto Mancini and Mario Balotelli’s relationship blossomed at Man City, Jose Mourinho got a chance to be a father figure to Balotelli at Inter Milan. Mourinho criticized his attitude and approach to training, but was determined to keep hold of the player and help him develop into a top talent. Like the managers that would come after him, it proved to be an impossible task, with plenty of high profile arguments and incidents on and off the pitch. This led the Portuguese to claim that the young striker was “unmanageable”. Mourinho can now see the funny side of his time with Balotelli, claiming that he was fun to work with and managing him was a “comedy”.

14. Robbie Fowler v Gerard Houllier

Robbie Fowler’s infamous ‘line sniffing’ celebration (see Top 20 Celebrations of All Time) did not impress Gerard Houllier one bit, and when Emile Heskey was later brought in to partner with Michael Owen, it was the new arrival that Houllier favoured. This did not sit well with Fowler, who argued with the manager about his lack of minutes and team selection. Fowler then sealed his own fate by kicking a ball at assistant coach Phil Thompson, and he was then sold to Leeds in 2002.

13. Brian Clough v Roy Keane

This fallout could have been billed as a pay per view fight, as it involves two of the angriest, toughest names that have ever been in the game. Roy Keane is viewed as someone to be feared in modern day football, but it was him left on the floor after an altercation with his manager in the dressing room. After a sloppy back heel from Keane, Clough floored him with one punch to the face, which clearly had a big impact on the Irishman. Much like Jemson, Keane has the upmost respect for Clough and even stated that he was a better manager than Ferguson.

12. David Moyes v Wayne Rooney

A very young Wayne Rooney angered his former boss through a number of allegations that Rooney included in his book, My Story So Far, that Moyes was controlling and overbearing. Rooney felt that his confidence had been betrayed because of a leaked conversation, and this is what led to his frosty move away from Goodison Park in 2004. Moyes won a case in court that saw the publishers pay out, and the striker apologized to Moyes shortly after. The two were re-united when Moyes took the helm at Old Trafford last season, but their new found mutual respect did little to improve a disastrous season that saw Moyes removed as manager.

Minamino adaptation period at Liverpool has been a testing one, to say the least. It is hard enough adjusting to a new club, a new league, a new language and a new culture, without dealing with the impact of a new pandemic as well.

Minamino can save Liverpool millions despite unusual startFor now, uncertainty reigns at Anfield. Uncertainty over the resumption of the Premier League, uncertainty over the title that the Reds were pretty much guaranteed before Covid-19 rocked up, uncertainty over what the future holds for clubs across the world, elite or otherwise.

Plans, for the most part, are on hold. Liverpool had, Goal understands, already begun making progress with regards to their summer transfer business, identifying potential signings, liaising with agents and intermediaries, plotting the next phase of the team’s development under Jurgen Klopp.

Even beyond the Marc-Andre ter Stegen situation -- the goalkeeper has not yet agreed to extend his contract beyond 2022 -- there could be movement in that position at Barcelona this summer.

Barça is clear that Neto, the No.2 to Ter Stegen, could leave. He's available for transfer and some Spanish clubs have shown an interest in him. Real Betis lead the way. His agents have also received interest from Italian and English clubs.

Neto signed for Barcelona last year as part of the Jasper Cillessen deal to Valencia. The Brazilian accepted the challenge of being Ter Stegen's understudy after being the first choice at Mestalla.

Gary Neville has expressed his belief that Jadon Sancho is "nowhere near" the level of players like Sergio Aguero, Gonzalo Higuain, Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria, all of whom have experience of winning major trophies "season in, season out".

Sancho has established himself as one of the most exciting young players in world football since swapping Manchester City for Borussia Dortmund in 2017.

The 20-year-old has racked up 90 appearances in all competitions for BVB, scoring an impressive 31 goals while also providing a countless number of assists for his team-mates.

Chelsea has been warned that signing Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho could lead to Christian Pulisic leaving Stamford Bridge.

Coutinho has struggled to settle at the Spanish giants since his £142m move from Liverpool in January 2018 and was sent out on loan to Bayern Munich this season.

And despite the Brazilian's impressive displays and a tally of eight goals and six assists in the Bundesliga, Bayern has opted not to activate a clause to buy Coutinho at the end of his loan spell.

Former Liverpool youth coach Michael Beale has revealed that he knew Trent Alexander-Arnold would become a first-team footballer from the moment he saw him playing at centre-back for the Reds' Under-14 side.

Beale left Chelsea's academy to join Liverpool in 2012 and came across Alexander-Arnold on his first day on Merseyside.

Having played his part in a youth system that dominated both domestically and on the continent during his time at Cobham, Beale witnessed the early development of Mason Mount, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tammy Abraham at close quarters.

And he believes the now-England international full-back would have been a good fit in

Plans to get Spanish football restarted in June are likely to face opposition from the country's footballers.

The players union AFE is due to meet having been frozen out of the eight-hour meeting at the weekend between the Spanish government's Sports Council (CSD), the Spanish Football Federation, and La Liga.

That meeting was designed to bring together La Liga and the Federation after weeks of public bickering between the two. It worked with a joint statement issued promising greater collaboration, but now the governing bodies have to get players on board with the plan to restart the season on June 6.
