Juventus midfielder Pogba: I want to be best in world

Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has declared he wants to be the best in the world. The 21-year-old insists he won't be satisfied until he's regarded as the world's finest player.

"Football is about consistency," Pogba has told FIFA's official website, as he collected the Hyundai Young Player Award as the best youngster at this summer's World Cup.

"You can get to the summit very quickly and drop back down again just as quickly. This prize is a very good thing to have, but I need to keep progressing and perform well in every game.

"I can't predict the future, but I'll do everything to win many more trophies. I'll continue working hard.

"My goal is to be the best player in the world. To be the best, you need to have pressure.

"At the moment, players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are always under pressure. Sometimes you see that they're not happy even when they score a goal.

"It's that attitude which allows you to raise the level of your game and your ambition."
