Juventus midfielder Pogba: No problems with Allegri

Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba insists he and coach Massimiliano Allegri are fine.

Allegri rapped Pogba for showboating against Hellas Verona.

Pogba said, "Allegri's words? I take them as advice, I have to be focused for the whole match. It's the way I am, it's not showing off, it's just the way I play my football, but what the Coach said is true.

"It's always been that way with all my Coaches. I don't do it on purpose, but sometimes I have to release a little bit, it's me, it's the person.

"When I hear that it wakes me up a little bit, it makes me open my eyes. I want to prove that what people say or think is wrong.

"Will I play differently against Barça? No, I always play my football, sometimes it comes off and sometimes it doesn't, I just need more concentration.

"If I play against Barça, since it's a final, my concentration will be at 100 per cent for 90 minutes."
