During an interview with ESPN FC, Antoine Griezmann built his perfect forward with eight forwards with their unique attributes. For passing, Griezmann chose the former Manchester United star David Beckham. Beckham, who’s currently the co-owner of Inter Miami, was known for his crossing and shooting ability, which even led to the birth of the popular saying- “Bend it like Beckham.“
For intelligence, Griezmann chose former FC Barcelona star Sergio Busquets. One of the greatest defensive midfielders in soccer history, Busquets has been often underappreciated in his career. Busquets played a key part in Spain and FC Barcelona’s most successful generation. For strength, the Altetico Madrid forward chose Cristiano Ronaldo, who needs no introduction.
While choosing endurance, Antoine Griezmann named himself, and for work rate, he chose his club teammate Koke. For speed, Griezmann chose the French and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry. For the technique attribute, Griezmann chose his former teammate and Inter Miami skipper Lionel Messi, arguably the greatest player of all time. Lastly, Griezmann named the AC Milan Filippo Inzaghi for finishing.
