Paul Pogba believes that the current iteration of Juventus is ‘stronger’, with ‘more quality’ and that they ‘attack with more men’.

The Bianconeri ran out convincing 3-0 winners over Lazio at the weekend in a performance inspired by the young French midfielder.

“Now we play much closer to the goal, it is much better for me,” the Gazzetta dello Sport quote Pogba as saying this week.

“We attack with more men and we also counter-attack. We midfielders play behind the forwards, and it is also helpful for the guys up front.

“Compared to last year we are stronger, there is more quality, the team is better overall.

“Yes, in Rome we have seen the best Pogba, along with an extraordinary Juventus for its intensity and play.”

Now attention switches to the Champions League, where Juve face a trip to Malmo on Wednesday.

“We begin again to defeat to Malmo. We have no alternative. We must return from Sweden with three points.

“We know that in the Champions League we struggle a lot, there is something lacking.

“Against Olympiacos, though, I saw an important spirit – like this we can play for the Cup, even if we have to be more decisive in front of goal.

“We have a good team, we can go pretty far, but we always need concentration and continuity as demonstrated in Rome.

“I hope to score again, as long as it proves useful towards getting the three points, the rest does not interest me.”

The Frenchman also reiterated his commitment to Juventus this weekend.
