Paul Pogba

“I only think about the pitch. I want to do great. I want to be one of the best. I want to win titles. I want to achieve things.”

“I don't think I am a great. I think I've done nothing. I've done nothing in soccer. I've won leagues, but I haven't won the Champions League, the World Cup, the Euro. Winning the Euro in France, that wouldn't be bad.”

“Creativity is a huge part of my game as a player. It helps open doors which others don't see.”

“I try to not take myself too seriously and just have fun when I'm not playing.”

“That's why we love football: it's not about the money or about the hairstyle or the dancing. We want to see beautiful goals, great tackles, fair play, and all this stuff.”

“My dad was a very strong man, very stubborn as well.”

“I like to try new looks and new haircuts. It's part of who I am.”

“Because I'm fairly big, I like to use my body. So I'll control the ball, even when there's a player on me, and then I'll pass.”

“I really loved football from a young age. And my only thought, my only objective in life, was to be a professional footballer.”

“My family always helped me. I had people around me who always pushed me to be the best: my dad, my mum. My dad used to play and coach as well. But I wasn't born with shiny things.”

“I wanted to show the world, to show United that I was ready to play and I was motivated to play. This comeback just showed that I left United, but the power of my heart was still here, to be honest.”

“I do not live for people, for what they think, for them to say that I'm nice, good, the best, perfect. Everyone has their opinion. And I respect that.”

“It's always good to play with big players, you know.”

“Playing against an Italian team is harder than all the other leagues. The Italians won't score lots of goals, but they won't concede many, either.”

“The most important thing is to be a midfielder first, not scoring goals. You have to make the game, make an assist for the team, and if you can score, it's a plus for the team.”

“I'm sure Mourinho will make me a better player and a better person.”

“I will not be touched if someone says, 'I do not love you.' You have the right. You do not have to love me.”

“I'm more experienced, I've won titles at Juventus. I've been playing with big players like when I started at Man United, of course. I came back. I've not come back from the Academy now; I went to play somewhere else, and I came back, I would say, as a person, as an adult.”

“For me, playing simply is dribbling. For me, playing one or two touches is harder. Playing simply is the most difficult thing.”

“I grew up in a flat with my brothers and my cousins. My brothers were in the same bed.”
