France midfielder, Paul Pogba has come out to say that France cannot afford to get carried away with its dangerous squad at the Euros. He recently revealed that the nation’s trio of Kylian Mbappe, Karim Benzema and Antoine Griezmann should not make his teammates egoistic.
According to him, French press should not see the team as being too beautiful, else that could be the opportunity opponents need to stun Le Blues in Euros competition.
He added that France is definitely a scary opposition for other teams, but he and his teammates must be scared too.
His words, “You can’t see yourself as being too beautiful. You shouldn’t see yourself as beautiful at all. I don’t want to get carried away too much because we’ve already been built up enough, I think.”
“Of course it’s scary for other teams, but it can also be scary for us too. It can put pressure on us because of the team we have, that we feel that we’re guaranteed to win or even to always score three goals.”
“People are going to expect all of this. But that’s not football. It’s the ego that kills you.”
“In this squad, there is none. There is not one person above another.”
“We have a PlayStation team but it will remain a PlayStation team if we don’t win a trophy.”
“We have to live up to expectations and there’ll be even more expected with Karim’s return. It’s nice to see a team sheet like that… It’s always an honour but you always have to be present on the pitch.”
“Being world champions and having a team like that, we will be expected to do even more.”
“We must remain humble. I want to give this message: it’s not a foregone conclusion. We hear a lot of talk but we keep our feet on the ground.”
