“I want to see warriors on the field guys,” Pogba told his team-mates in a scene from a documentary aired by TF1 . “I don’t want to go home!
“We will finish happy! I want to party tonight. I want to be dead on the field, all together! I want men, warriors, soldiers.
“Today we will ‘kill’ them. Messi or no Messi I don’t care! We came to win this f***g World Cup!”
Manchester United midfielder Pogba was at it again before France defeated 10-man Uruguay 2-0 in Nizhny Novgorod for a place in the World Cup semi-finals.
