What They're Saying
France midfielder Paul Pogba (via Sky Sports): "I still have many goals in mind. I'm glad I signed [a contract extension with Juventus], but it is not finished for me. I want more. This is not going to give me a big head. [My goals are] winning Euro 2016, becoming a great player, winning the Champions League. The contract with Juve will allow me to move forward to meet my goals."
"I know I did not give the best of myself [in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Albania]," he added. "I can do much more. The next game I will wake up and show my best, and this match against Albania will be forgotten. I was prepared. I knew it would be tough, but it was not my day. That's all."
