Rails association doesn't work

I am having a weird issue that I can't figure out.

It is very basic rails programming : I want to create an association between a user model and a goal model.

goal.rb

class Goal < ActiveRecord::Base
    belongs_to :user
end

user.rb 

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :goals, dependent: :destroy
  has_many :records
  has_many :orders
end

When I am making the association from the console, it is working well, lets say :

$ goal = Goal.first
$ goal.user_id = 1
$ goal.save 
$ goal.inspect 


#<Goal id: 1, description: "loremipsum", created_at: "2016-11-26 12:39:34", updated_at: "2016-11-26 12:43:41", name: "ipsumlorem", user_id: 1>

But then, when I am creating a goal from my views, the association is not made, and the user_id of the goal user_id remain : nil.

Any ideas ?

EDIT AS REQUIRED :

_form.html.erb

<%= form_for(@goal) do |f| %>
  <%= f.text_field :name, class: "form-control" %>
  <%= f.text_area :description, class: "form-control"  %>
  <div class="actions">
    <%= f.submit %>
  </div>
<% end %>

goal_controller.rb

  def new
    @users = User.all
    @goal = current_user.goals.build
  end

  def edit
  end

  def create
    @goal = Goal.new(goal_params)
    @goal.save
    redirect_to root_path, notice: "Objectif sauvegardé"  
  end
