France coach Didier Deschamps sprang to the defence of star midfielder Paul Pogba ahead of today's final World Cup warm-up against the United States.
Speaking to France Football, Pogba had said he feels unfairly judged after he was jeered by French fans during the 3-1 victory over Italy a week ago.
Deschamps insisted the Manchester United player has a lot to offer, though. "People talk a lot about Paul. He's a midfielder, he's not a number 10, nor a forward," said Deschamps today.
"He has the ability to score goals and create them, which he does often. He's a complete midfielder: he can do everything but he can't do everything. There's a nuance there.
"Paul has huge potential."
