Pogba: Cannavaro questions Juve’s credentials

Published

on

Juventus will find it hard to replace Paul Pogba in the Champions League, according to Fabio Cannavaro.
Fabio Cannavaro has endorsed the capture of Gonzalo Higuain but says it will be difficult for Juventus to win the Champions League without Paul Pogba.
Juve spent big to recruit Higuain, last season’s top scorer in Serie A, from Napoli as a replacement for striker Alvaro Morata, who was re-signed by Real Madrid.
But the departure of France international Pogba to Manchester United for a world-record fee has left a void in midfield that head coach Massimiliano Allegri may struggle to fill against top opposition, according to Cannavaro.
“Juve certainly reinforced themselves – they have a deep, complete squad and I think Higuain is stronger than Morata, but winning the Champions League is incredibly tough,” ex-Bianconeri defender Cannavaro was quoted by Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Juve have acquired the habit of winning in Italy, but in Europe things are different and it’s no easy task to replace Pogba.”
