Antoine Griezmann is a French footballer who plays for both the French national team and Atletico Madrid. Born and raised in Macon, France, he has always had a passion for football since he was young. Genetics however prevented him from growing much in height and frame and hence he was turned down by many youth programs at leading clubs. He gained attention from several professional clubs in 2005, including Real Sociedad, while playing for the local team Montpellier.

In the 2009-2010 season, he made his debut for ‘Sociedad,’ winning five out of four games that he played during their pre-season campaign. Antoine moved to Atletico Madrid in July 2014 after four successful seasons at Sociedad. As a result of his steadily improving performances, he was rewarded with another contract from Madrid in 2016, which would keep him with the club until 2021. He participated in the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the Euro 2016 with his national team. He received the Golden Boot award at the latter for his outstanding goal-scoring performance.

Controversies	Antoine Griezmann sparked controversy in 2017 after posting a picture of himself wearing blackface and an afro wig. He intended to impersonate a member of the Harlem Globetrotters, but the joke was clearly ill-advised and he quickly deleted the image from his social media accounts. Apologies soon followed.

Life Journey

Born on March 21, 1991, in Macon, France, Antoine Griezmann is the son of Isabelle and Alain. Having a stronghold in the political landscape in France, his father was a powerful and wealthy man. His mother was a hospital cleaner.

Antoine’s ancestry can be traced back to Portugal, where his grandfather, Amaro Lopes, was a renowned footballer for the national team. In light of his family’s history with football, little Antoine decided to give it a go himself. Moreover, Zinedine Zidane inspired him to practice and train hard to achieve his goal of becoming a footballer.

The youth programs at Lyon, the nearby well-known soccer club, were well known for their excellence. There were several reasons why Antoine was rejected, including being short and weighing very little. Disheartened by this, Antoine turned to the second-best option, his local club UF Macon. A powerful political influence from his father also contributed greatly to his selection. At UF Macon, Antoine worked on his skills further so that the best youth programs could take notice of him.

His short frame was a major obstacle to his selection for the subsequent youth academies. But Antoine wasn’t one to give up and, in 2005, he was hired by Montpellier, where he demonstrated his footballing skills for the first time. Antoine’s performance in the Paris friendly against Paris Saint-Germain caught the attention of Real Sociedad executives.

Antoine was given a trial week by Society and after that week ended, Society offered his parents a contract to keep him at their youth academy. In the beginning, Antoine’s parents were a bit skeptical about sending him to Spain, but they eventually gave in.

Erika Choperena and Antoine Griezmann dated for a very long time before they got married in June 2017. In the presence of close friends and family members, the wedding ceremony was secret. The couple had a daughter named Mia before they got married.

In addition to his older brother, Antoine has an older brother who is also on his way to becoming a footballer.

Antoine Griezmann Net Worth

Antoine Griezmann has a net worth of $65 million.

With his base salary of $27 million, Antoine has been among the world’s top 10 high-paid soccer players in some seasons.

The endorsements Griezmann earns each year allow him to earn $5-6 million aside from his salary. He is perhaps best known for his sponsorship relationship with Puma, and he has appeared in many of the company’s commercials. The Puma boots he released in 2017 were custom-made for him. He has also been featured on the cover of the FIFA video game series (alongside Lionel Messi) in 2014 for the French release.

As well as Beats Electronics headphones and Head & Shoulders shampoo, Antoine has appeared in commercials for Gillette razors, Huawei smartphones, and Gillette razors.

Antoine’s outstanding start at Real Sociedad earned him a five-year contract with a release clause of 30 million euros. The 30 million release clause was paid by Atletico Madrid to get Griezmann on their team in 2014. After that, he signed a contract with Atletico for six years. In 2016, the team was banned from making transfers, so Griezmann had to amend his contract to include a 100 million euro buyout clause.

Barcelona was heavily linked with the French player at this point. Griezmann’s commitment to Atletico is signaled by yet another contract extension recently signed, signaling that Barca was set back by an alleged illegal approach. The former Atletico Madrid player announced he will leave the team in 2019, after five years with the club. As a result, he became one of the most expensive footballers in history after signing for Barcelona for 210 million euros.

Life Journey

He is the older brother of Charlie Kane and Kim (née Hogg) Kane from Walthamstow, London. By virtue of his father’s Irish ancestry, he is of Irish descent. Kane attended Larkswood Primary Academy until 2004, followed by Chingford Foundation School (where David Beckham also attended). From a young age, he played football, joining Ridgeway Rovers when he was six years old. The family’s footballing history was described by Kane:

The Kane household is divided over the origin of my sporting genes, although my Mum has a strong opinion on the subject. On my mother’s side, my grandfather Eric was an okay footballer and probably wouldn’t approve of me saying that.

He also added: “I grew up 15 minutes away from the stadium and most of my family was a Spurs fan. So, I was always a Spurs fan.”. As a child, he saw former Tottenham striker Teddy Sheringham as a “great finisher” and personal role model for scoring goals from outside the box. David Beckham and Jermaine Defoe were also influenced during his childhood. Former Brazil forward Ronaldo also elicited Kane’s admiration, adding that he admires videos of him that he viewed on YouTube: “He’s an outstanding goalscorer, and that’s what I want to be.”.

Life Journey

Timothy Castagne’s Biography includes information about his Childhood, Early Years, Parents, Family, Wife, and Sisters. The lifestyle, personal life, and net worth of a footballer are more important. In a nutshell, we present to you the Life History of a Belgian football superstar who has both natural talent and his father’s genes at his disposal.

Woodgram’s version of the Defender’s Story begins at the beginning of his career until Leicester and Belgium made him famous. You can view Timothy Castagne’s Boyhood to Success gallery here to whet your appetite for his biography. His Life Journey is clearly reflected in what we have here without a doubt.

Brendan Rodgers is Damn Good at many things. One of them is signing quality players, such as Timothy Castagne. From now Belgian has lived up to the hype surrounding his name out of nowhere. Although Timothy Castagne’s biography received many accolades, only a few of his fans took the time to read it. We decided to take the time to write it because of our love for soccer. And now without further ado, let us begin.

He is known by the nickname Tim in his biography. Mr. and Mrs. Pierre Castagne, from Arlon, a town in Belgium, gave birth to Timothy Castagne on the 5th day of December 1995.

He was the first child and only son in a family of three children – a boy and two girls). All of his children are the result of the union between his mother and father (Pierre).

As a child, Timothy Castagne enjoyed a blissful childhood spent with his best friend, who also happens to be his beloved sister, Noemie. Since the very beginning, Timothy has been a role model to Noemie. Timothy Castagne’s parents decided to have a second child after a decade and some years had passed.

Tim and Noemie made the decision when they were teenagers. I must say that having Emmi as a member of the family was an incredible experience for us all. From the Belgian perspective, the feeling of having Emmi in your life is a priceless treasure for every single member of the family. The beautiful Emmi still remains the bonafide baby of the house at the time of writing this biography.

The son of the former Luxembourg Golden Boot winner, Timothy is the subject of numerous sporting websites. The father of Nicolai happened to be a professional footballer who, not only once, but twice, was one of the top scorers in Luxembourg during the 90s. Unlike his other brother – Romelu Lukaku – Timothy Castagne didn’t grow up poor. Both Timothy Castagne and Romelu were once footballers. However, unlike Romelu, Timothy Castagne’s father wisely invested his money.

Pierre did more than just provide for his family. He became a role model to his children – especially Timothy. The footballer’s ancestry can be traced back to Arlon. It is the capital of Luxembourg, the southernmost Belgian province. Approximately 30,000 people live in Arlon, and it is the Belgian border with Luxembourg.

Timothy Castagne’s relatives speak Luxembourgish, a traditional West Germanic language. It is primarily spoken in Southern Belgium and Luxembourg. He combined academic learning with professional football training at an early age. From an early age, Tim displayed versatility and was very adept at juggling multiple priorities.

Growing up, the Belgian had one goal: to follow in his father’s footsteps. When Pierre Castagne retired from football, it was hard for him. Because of this, Timothy hoped to follow in his Dad’s footsteps as a football player. Castagne attended a boarding school in the Belgian city of Liege, according to research. A mighty club in Belgium, Standard Liege, allowed him to train with their youth teams.

Castagne joined SB Waltzing-Bonnert’s adolescent soccer team in 2004. A year later, the youngster started playing for the young Lorrain Arlon during weekends.

Timothy’s experience playing youth soccer at Lorrain Arlon earned him the right to attend a trial at a top academy, Virton. This young man passed their trials with flying colors. He rose to become Virton’s best player in his age grade.

His greatest dream was to become a member of the Premier League. In case you didn’t know, the 12-year-old was a big fan of Arsenal and Thierry Henry. During that time, Castagne wanted to play at Highbury Stadium. The largest dub in the province where Timothy Castagne’s fans live is Virtuton. Consequently, the Belgian community grew rapidly there.

He developed into a polyvalent at the club. Considering his speed – which he possesses in abundance – Tim could play any position well. Scouts were attracted by Genk’s rapid growth, development, and exploration. The Racing Club met with Timothy Castagne’s parents to discuss his transfer, which was approved.

For the young Belgian, things just kept getting better when he joined Genk. Timothy Castagne had no bounds of joy in 2013 when he got a national Belgian 018 call. At this time, our boy was trying to wrap up playing academy football.

Injury And Rise To Fame

Tim Castagne had a problematic and unfortunate start to his professional career. In mid-April 2015, he collided with a Waasland-Beveren player during a match in the Jupiler Pro League.

Timothy received a mild concussion after the collision, which he initially thought was nothing to worry about.
A few months later (around December 2015), the same injury returned to haunt him. An opponent fouled him during a match, which triggered an old injury.

In that match, Timothy was substituted at 37 minutes due to a serious injury – with Genk medics rushing to his aid. Sadly, Castagne was sidelined for more than a year by that injury.

Castagne continued to experience headaches and vision problems even after he recovered. Racing Genk’s medical staff decided at this point to take additional medical tests to determine the exact cause of the injury. The medics advised Timothy to rest more until these results are known. While the Belgian continues to train, he avoids making competitions and duels. These were the most challenging moments of his career.

Following a return from injury, the Belgian left a good impression with Genk’s first team. As the most versatile player in the Belgian Pro League, he attracted many top clubs around Europe. Timothy joined Serie A club Atalanta in July 2017 for €6 million. In his first season, the rising Belgian star excelled – even achieving significant improvements in his second.

In Castagne’s opinion, he was ready for a new challenge after spending three years with Atalanta. Pierre Castagne, like his father, sprang into action in an effort to get his son the best deal. Spurs were the favorite to sign the versatile Defender when Jose Mourinho took over. As we know him, the Portuguese devised all means to capture him. Mourinho even conducted a video conference with Timothy Castagne’s father, according to research.

During that conversation, Pierre Castagne observed that Tottenham Hotspurs could not afford to hire his son. At this point, Mourinho considered selling Aurier to meet up Timothy’s price.

Nuno Mendes Bio/Wiki

Club Career

Early Career

Mendes, who is of Angolan heritage and was born in Lisbon’s Sintra neighborhood, began playing football at the age of nine. As a child, he looked up to players like Marcelo and David Alaba, as well as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Bruno Botelho, a teacher at his school, would see him and extend an invitation for him to play for the neighborhood team Despertar in the suburbs of Lisbon. He attracted the attention of Benfica, Porto, and Sporting CP after swiftly making a name for himself. At the age of 10, he joined the latter’s youth program.

Sporting CP

Mendes was one of a select number of young players who manager Rben Amorim called up to the first squad after the COVID-19 pandemic breakout in February, which resulted in an early conclusion to the youth football season. This was true even though Mendes had barely played once since November due to an injury. On June 12, 2020, he replaced Marcos Acua in the 72nd minute of his team’s 1-0 Primeira Liga victory at home against Paços de Ferreira to make his professional debut.

Mendes was selected first after the latter left for Sevilla in the off-season of 2020, making him the club’s youngest starter since Cristiano Ronaldo in September 2002. He went on to start six of his team’s last seven league games.

Four days later, he made his UEFA Champions League debut, coming on to replace Abdou Diallo 75 minutes into a 1-1 group-stage draw against Club Brugge.

He immediately made an impact on the field, most notably by making a “brilliant” run to set up a shooting opportunity for Lionel Messi in the 77th minute. Later on in the month, in a 2-1 victory over Lyon, he received his first start.

International Career

Soon after making his club debut, Mendes won his first cap for Portugal at the under-21 level in a 4-0 victory in Cyprus for the 2021 UEFA European Championship qualifications on September 4, 2020. He had represented the under-16, under-17, under-18, and under-19 age groups in the country.

Ferjani Sassi Biography, Age, Salary, Stats, FIFA 22, Net Worth & Wiki

Early Career

When he was 8 years old, Shikabala enrolled in Zamalek SC’s youth program. He made his debut for the squad in a cup game at the beginning of 2002, and at the age of 16, he scored the game-winning goal. Since then, he has stayed with the first team squad, although due to his little playing time and lack of a professional contract, he was free to leave Zamalek and join PAOK FC for no transfer fee in January 2005.

He spent one rather successful season with PAOK, but despite the Greek club’s persistent insistence that Shikabla stay there till the conclusion of his contract in 2009, he later returned to Zamalek for the 2006–07 campaign in order to complete army obligations in Egypt.

Club Career

Zamalek

Shikabala first arrived in Egypt from Greece in January 2007 amid controversy after joining sworn enemies Al Ahly. Shikabala subsequently claimed, “I wanted to go back to Zamalek, but at this time they had numerous administrative issues and they refused to sign me. Shikabala was persuaded to join Zamalek by teammate Gamal Hamza and Zamalek chairman Mamdouh Abbas after the greatest transfer got viral.

Zamalek scored the game-winning goal in a 1-0 victory in his second club appearance, giving Shikabala an incredible start. Shika rapidly established himself as a starter for Henri Michel, ultimately taking the position of club icon and fan favorite Hazem Emam.

Shikabala had already established himself as the ultimate fan favorite for the Zamalek supporters’ curva sud section at the start of the 2007–08 season. Before each game, the crowd would yell his name and sing songs just for him.

He had a difficult season in which Zamalek struggled in the league, and he was subject to a lengthy suspension when Al Ahly supporters yelled obscenities at him in the 100th Cairo derby, to which he responded by elevating his shoes in their direction. He did end the year on a more positive note, as Zamalek won the cup, the team’s first trophy in four years, and concluded the year as champions.

Shikabala missed the start of the 2008–09 campaign because FIFA had suspended him for making an unauthorized transfer to Zamalek. He returned in good form in late November, but Zamalek once again had a disappointing season and placed sixth in the league.

The next season was the same until Zamalek hired Hossam Hassan in December 2009, who gradually brought the team out of obscurity and into a position where they could routinely contend for championships.

Shikabala eventually reached his playing potential and began to develop under Hassan’s tutelage. Prior to that, he was highly erratic, drifted in and out of games, and occasionally was totally ineffectual despite scoring amazing goals and doing intricate dribbles.

Since rejoining the squad in 2007, Shikabala has become a favorite of the Zamalek supporters and the team’s standout player. The management turned down multiple bids for him, most notably from Anderlecht, and made him the highest-paid player in Egypt’s history while the fans adore him.

Although the squad is centered around Shikabala, who is renowned for his abilities, the fans adore him. But his most recent display of disrespect was when, after being replaced, he got into a fight with club legend and former coach Hassan Shehata. Shehata made the decision to remove him from the squad and requested that he be sold right now.

Sporting CP

On January 29, 2014, it was revealed that Shikabala had agreed to a 700,000 dollar contract with Sporting CP in Portugal and will go there the following day to have a physical and sign an official contract.

There were several issues with the negotiations between Shikabala, Sporting, and Zamalek in the final hours of the January transfer window, but with only three minutes left, they came to an agreement on a deal for 700,000 US dollars plus 5% of any future sales should Sporting decide to sell Shikabala to another club. Shikabala made the choice to don the Sporting jersey with the number 7.

On February 16, 2014, against Tondela, Shikabala made his debut for the reserve squad. After suffering a slight ankle injury, he was replaced 28 minutes into the game after having begun the game.

Shikabala played relatively little for the squad, only making a few appearances for the reserve team and one for the first team, and was benched for most of the next season.

His goal against Azores XI during the Pedro Pauleta Trophy, which gave Sporting CP a 2-1 victory and set a new record for live viewers on the team’s website, was his most significant contribution.

International Career

On June 3, 2007, Shikabala made his debut for his country against Mauritania in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. Shikabala has made multiple appearances for the national team throughout significant moments in modern Egyptian history, although never had a significant role. He participated in one game while representing Egypt at the 2010 African Cup of Nations, where they won for the seventh time overall and third time in a row.

In 2010, he made the decision to leave the international football scene, citing the racial taunts he had received from Al Ahly supporters during the Cairo derby and declaring that he did not want to deal with such circumstances in international matches.

However, on August 8, 2012, manager Bob Bradley called him up for friendlies against Benin and Cameroon.

Shikabala missed three years of Egypt’s national team action after being part of the team during the 2014 African Nations Championship qualification run. On November 12, 2017, he was reintegrated into the team, and in Egypt’s last World Cup qualifying match against Ghana, he scored his first competitive goal. He was included in Egypt’s final 23-man roster for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia in June of that year.
