Paul Pogba was named as Young Player of the tournament in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. He has failed to exploit his full potential since. After his world record move to Manchester United, he has shown glimpses but has not delivered consistently.
The current season in England was a bad one for Pogba because of injuries, tactical issues and bad form has smothered it. However, he can write off all that if he shines in Russia. He is an important cog in coach Didier Deschamps’ midfield and he has the freedom to express himself.
The Les Blues need their man to shine and he can definitely do that with the array of traits that he possesses. On his day he could be a one-man wrecking force and he needs those days to come more regularly.
