Football is a long game, as many who lay the sport will affirm, and if one is to pursue a career in it, then they must always have their eye on the prize, a dollop of confidence, and a lot of passion.
Paul Pogba showed a lot of promise as a young football player and worked his way up to become the highest-paid player in an English club.
We definitely have a lot to learn from him on how he has kept his heading the game long enough to achieve what he did.
See five quotes by Paul Pogba below:
1. “I have to keep working hard and playing well because I don’t like to be second or third: they’re the worst places to be. You would be proud, of course, because it means you’re on the way, but you want to finish first.”

2. “My family always helped me. I had people around me who always pushed me to be the best: my dad, my mum. My dad used to play and coach as well. But I wasn’t born with shiny things.”

3. “I’m not trying to say that I’m the strongest, only that I want to be. I may not be among the most beloved players, but that’s not my target. I’m working to be the best.”

4. “I want to win this World Cup and to do that you have to make sacrifices. Defending isn’t my strong point, I’m not Kante, but I’ll happily do it. I have grown up and matured.”
