Euro 2016: Switzerland vs France - 5 players to watch out for

Dimitri Payet

#3 Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba
Paul Pogba’s performance will be decisive in the match

The 23-year-old defender possesses an immense talent and has been an indispensable asset in the Juventus side and in the France national team. However, he put out a meek show in France’s 1-0 win against Romania which saw him being dropped to the bench in the next game against Albania.

Pogba is a vital member for Juventus and has been the deep-lying playmaker for them this season after Pirlo’s departure. Still young, he has a terrific work rate which complemented with his brilliant skills with the ball, makes him one of the best young players in the world.

Though he improved against Albania after coming on from the bench, his brilliance is yet to be seen in this competition. Pogba will probably return to the starting eleven and his duties will be to keep the midfield ticking. The Blues have often been slow in attack and his role will be crucial in building up play from deep.
