Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba says he still loves football.

Pogba has just endured the "toughest" season of his career.

But he told Views magazine: “Me, I'm thinking more of the positive criticism, because there will always be quite negative ones. But I don't think about that. Today, I'm a professional footballer because I played that football and it's that football that brought me to where I am today.

“Critics will always be there. Me, I think more of the people who watch me and who are happy to see me play, rather than the people who criticize me. I don't need this.

“I know when I had a good game, when I had a bad game. The pleasure will always remain rooted in me and that's why I play football. That's also why, I think, people come to watch the matches."
