According to Japanese media Sportiva, Monaco midfielder Pogba praised his teammate Takumi Minami in an interview.

Pogba said: "Takumi Minami is always the first to go to the training ground and the last to leave. I have never seen a player who is so strict and enjoys it. This is where I need to learn from him.

When watching Takumi Minami's game, I can clearly feel that he is thinking while playing football. He is very smart, and his running position fully reflects his deep understanding of the game."
