Juventus midfielder Pogba: Much in my game to improve

Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba accepts he's far from the finished article.

Pogba has also conceded that there are areas where his game has to improve.

"I know about my failings. I sometimes take risks that I shouldn't. I also need to be able to manage my game over the full 90 minutes. I mustn't play uniquely by instinct.

"Those are the things I have to pay attention to in my position, because it's in midfield that you control the play, get the most touches on the ball and where you can change the rhythm of a match.

"We're the engine of the team to an extent and we can't afford to fall short.

"[France Coach] Didier Deschamps, for example, knows me very well and knows how to manage me. He helps me improve every day, whether it's in training or in a match.

"What he tells me most is to 'stay focused and keep things simple', the way he used to do so well."
