Paul Pogba - Juventus' new number 10.Paolo Rossi has commented on comparisons between Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba and Michel Platini, saying that there is a long way to go beforeĀ such a comparison could truly be made.

The two Frenchman have been heralded as being alike by some, including Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola, but Italy legend Rossi has urged for a cautious approach before making strong statements.

“It is a comparison that is too risky,” Rossi toldĀ Premium Sport.

“I played with Platini and he really was a phenomenon, he had class and reasoned before others.

“Pogba may get to do important things, he has proved that he is a great player, but before being matched with Platini he has to do a lot.”

The 22-year-old recently claimed Juventus’ vacant number 10 shirt, hoping to follow in the footsteps of Bianconeri icons such as Alessandro Del Piero, after previous tenant Carlos Tevez moved to Boca Juniors.
