Pogba team-mates rap fans
ANTOINE Griezmann and Corentin Tolisso have hit out at France fans who jeered Paul Pogba during the 3-1 win over Italy in Nice on Friday.
The Manchester United midfielder was whistled by the home crowd when he was substituted in the second half.
Pogba temporarily lost his United place at the end of the season before also being left on the bench in France’s 3-2 defeat by Colombia at the Stade de France in March. Tolisso said: ‘This kind of whistling is exasperating, it annoys me. Paul had a good game, he worked hard.
‘It hurts because I wouldn’t want to be whistled. We’re all on the same boat, and we have to all stick together.’
Griezmann said: ‘The whistles are part of football, you have to stay tough mentally. We’re all playing for the same shirt.’
France face the United States in their final friendly on Saturday, before taking on Australia in their Group C opener on June 16.
