Paul Pogba says to focus on France and not  him

 Paul Pogba insists he is a team player after scoring France's winner in the 1-0 victory over the Netherlands on Monday.

Pogba struck from long-range at half time to hand France a vital victory in Amsterdam, silencing some of his most vocal critics.

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba had been criticis

ed last week by national team manager Didier Deschamps, who said the 23-year-old "could do better," but Pogba said after the victory at the Amsterdam Arena that the focus should be on the team, not him.

 

I play for the France team. Not the Pogba team," he told Canal+. "We're not going to start talking individuals. I play for the team and I always play for the team.

"It's not always nice to hear criticism, but that's football.
"I stay focused on the field. I always give my all. Then, I try to make big benefits and give the best of myself.

 France now have seven points in Group A out of a possible nine, and sit top, level on points with Sweden. The Netherlands are third with four points from three games.
