A new, great distinction for two members of the new generation of Greek football. L’Equipe: Among the best 18-year-olds in the world, Karetsas-Kostoulas.

The French newspaper L’Equipe, which established the Golden Ball award, has published a list of the 30 best footballers in the world born in 2007. Among the rising stars of world football are two Greeks: Babis Kostoulas and Konstantinos Karetsas.
