Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Manchester United midfielder Paul pogba accused of being one of the causes French eliminated from Euro 2020 (Euro 2021) after losing on penalties 4-5 (3-3) to Switzerland at the Arena National Stadium, Tuesday (29/6) early morning WIB.
Two Premier League legends, Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira, said that Pogba could not maintain the balance of Les Bleus’ midfield against Switzerland until Didier Deschamps’ team had to lift their suitcase first.
Roy Keane says Pogba is impressive in attack, but has been poor when it comes to assisting defence.
No doubt it will be frustrating [bermain dengan Pogba], but it’s all part of Paul’s character that people love to see and that’s great,” Keane told ITV Metro.
“But then I saw the goal they conceded in injury time when he was sloppy in midfield, that’s the part I was really critical of.”
The Man United legend thinks that Pogba is just not mature enough to play. Therefore, the former Juventus player only prioritizes attacking rather than learning to help defense.

“United have this problem. Can he play in two midfield? He probably can’t, he doesn’t have the discipline,” said Keane.
“In fact, today he frustrates you. With his quality in attack, he lacks discipline in defense. The top players can attack and defend equally well, and Paul can’t,” said Keane continued.
Similar comments were made by former French national team player, Vieira. The Arsenal legend feels Pogba needs a senior figure who can help him in midfield.

“If he plays next to Roy [Keane]”Maybe he will be a different player because he needs someone behind him who can put him under pressure,” said Vieira.
“It’s frustrating, because he can give more than what he already gives to the team,” Vieira added.
