30th June | Pogba takes charge of the pre-match dressing speech ahead of the match vs. Argentina: “We are going to leave it all on the pitch. I do not want to go home. I want to eat more pasta at Istra.”

2nd July | The squad is getting bored of Istra & having nothing to do apart from train, mildly jealous of Belgium, Brazil and Colombian colleagues who are constantly
being given time away from their camps.

2nd July | As a result, Deschamps decides to give them a night off to let loose in Moscow because of the win over Argentina. About a dozen players go, ending up in a restaurant that turns into a nightclub. When they come back, a couple of players intend on continuing the party.

his life: “I know the one thing you’re all thinking, playing a World Cup final. Go & get it. Everything is possible, whatever happens in the match, give everything.”

10th July | Pogba pre-match also says a few words: “All that work we did at Clairefontaine, today it pays off. We
have come too far guys, we are in the boat, we can’t go back. We can write history, we have the pen in our hands.”

10th July | The 1st half is tough, really tough – Belgium are undeniably better. At half-time, Deschamps tells Pogba he needs to support Pavard more in tagging
Hazard: “Show that you want it more than them.” Matuidi tells Mbappé to pass quickly, because they’re all pressing him.

10th July | Pogba comes up to Kanté in the dressing room at full-time: “He is not even tired! He could play again & again!” Varane joins them both & touches Kanté’s head:
“Look! He hasn’t even broken sweat!”
