Juventus hero Di Livio slams Pogba: If I was him I'd turn up 90 minutes before the meeting

Juventus hero Angelo di Livio has slammed Paul Pogba over his poor timekeeping this week.

Pogba was axed for last night's Europa League win against SC Freiburg after being late for a team meeting the previous day.

This morning, Di Livio told TMW: "(Max) Allegri did very well to treat him like this.

"I didn't expect such a delay from a player who has never played. I think more professionalism is needed in these situations.

"If I were a player that everyone has been waiting for for months, I would go to the pitch an hour and a half before the call!"

On Angel di Maria's future, Di Livio said: "He's a player who despite his age is giving a lot, perhaps the only one who is giving what a great leader and a great champion has to give. I would like to see him again at Juve next year because he is an added value for this team."
