Griezmann hits back at Chelsea keeper
Antoine Griezmann has hit back at Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois after the shot-stopper slammed France's style of play. 

 The two met in World Cup semi-final with France eliminating Belgium thanks to Samuel Umtiti's second-half header. Courtois questioned France's style of play labeling them as negative tactics. Courtois said, "France heads a corner and does nothing more than defend. I would have preferred to have lost in the quarter-finals to Brazil, at least that was a team that wanted to play football. France are just an anti-football team.”

  Griezmann's response

 Griezmann hit back at Courtois' criticism, suggesting that his club Chelsea plays a similar system.

 "Does Thibaut Courtois think that at Chelsea he plays Barcelona football? I don't care how I want a second star to be on this shirt. That is all," he said.

 Belgium will meet England on Saturday in the World Cup third playoff.
Location: Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Liverpool's new midfield man Naby Keita idolised Steven Gerrard as a kid playing in the streets of Guinea.  Keita will wear Gerrard's No. 8 this season after joining the club from RB Leipzig for £54 million. The 23-year-old was even accompanied by Gerrard at his Liverpool unveiling.  Keita said: "[My father] has spoken to me loads since I signed for Liverpool about how much he loved them. As a kid, we used to play wearing a Liverpool shirt in the streets. He had that love of Liverpool then. "Because I'm a midfielder and Gerrard was always the boss of the side, it couldn't be anyone else other than Steven Gerrard -- that's who you'd be when you were playing, wanting to be like him."  Keita called the presentation by Gerrard a "shock" but promised he won't let the weight of the No. 8 bring him down.  "It was a big shock. Steven said: 'Everyone's going to be here for you, to help you develop."
