Paul Pogba hoping France can repeat Under-20 form

France midfielder Paul Pogba says that he hopes the World Cup squad can repeat the Under-20 side's achievements in Turkey last summer.

Paul Pogba has said that he hopes France's World Cup squad can repeat the Under-20s side's achievements at last summer's Under-20 World Cup in Turkey.

The Juventus midfielder, who started on the bench in last night's goalless draw with Ecuador, was part of the team that won the final last summer.

The 21-year-old told FIFA.com: "I just hope that we'll see a repeat of what happened at U20 level.

"We struggled against Spain in our third match in Turkey, but we still ended up winning the U20 World Cup. If we could go on the same kind of run here in Brazil, that would be amazing.

"I'm happy and I feel good, but I'd prefer not to dwell on my own performance and talk about how the team played instead."

France will play Nigeria in their last-16 match.
