It's rather interesting to see people over there choosing Pogba instead of their home grown player. Many are aware of Pogba's importance for our future success. All that "came from our ranks" bs counts to nothing in the end when the difference in class is notable. It seems to me that there is more bias over here for Italian players. Now don't get me wrong I like Italy and cheer for them on a big stage and in the process have witnessed generations of great Italian players but it's at the same time annoying to see a truly average football player labeled as a champion. Words like "champion", "irreplaceable", "future captain" are thrown around way too easily these days. Apparently it's enough to have pretty face, decent football skills and you'll be touted as one.
