He is one of the leaders of the France team.
So when Paul Pogba speaks, we listen to him, we also decipher him.
Asked by journalist Philippe Sanfourche at the microphone of RTL, the midfielder returned to the disappointment of the draw (1-1) against Hungary on Saturday - a match which "hit the organs but it's okay we recover" said- he - during the second game of the Blues.
He also responded to criticism about the lack of success of the French attackers since the start of the competition.

Regarding the match against Hungary, supported by 50,000 fans, Pogba believes that this is not a "disappointment". “We drew, I don't want us to think that the France team has to beat the other teams 6-0. Football is not like that. Small teams are even more difficult to play, they give everything, and we have to score as quickly as possible to break free and avoid this kind of match. The Euro or the World Cup, these are only difficult matches for the big teams, the big nations. It's like that. We must not forget that they had an opportunity that they took, we had several, the goalkeeper did his job, there was a post and we shoot aside. If we put them on we don't talk about the same match anymore. So we remain calm, positive, we know what to expect for the next matches. "
48 hours before a crucial qualifying match against Portugal, the 28-year-old also tackles those who criticize the poor performance of the French attackers and more particularly of Karim Benzema.
The latter is still silent since his return with the France team.

"You speak of one of the best strikers in the world, he does not need to be reassured, answers Pogba. He will score and then everyone will lift him. He knows that we do not doubt him or the other attackers. Who can doubt Karim Benzema? He has opportunities, he creates them for himself, he performs well in the game. The goal will come by itself. The jersey is never heavy for us to wear. We should not ask questions about the players, just support them. We trust each other, we believe in us. You will see the next matches. "
