'The star on this shirt is not mine; I want mine'

France are determined not to make the same mistakes they did two years ago in losing the Euro 2016 final when they take on Croatia for the biggest prize in football, midfielder Paul Pogba said on Thursday.
France face the Croats in the World Cup final at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium on Sunday, but they are rejecting the favourites tag which cost them dearly two years ago, he said.
The French beat Germany in the Euro 2016 semifinal to set up an encounter in Paris against Portugal, who stunned them 1-0 in extra time to win the continental tide.
"We are conscious of the situation, we do not want to make the same mistakes like two years ago. We want to work for it, to give everything we have to take this Cup home,” Pogba told reporters.
"I think at the Euros we thought it was already a done deal, the mentality was not the same as now. I cannot lie that when we beat Germany we thought that was the final. I know the taste of losing a final. I don't want it to happen again.
"Against Portugal we thought we had won it before the start of the game. That will not happen again."
Croatia needed spot kicks to advance against Denmark in the last 16 and
against Russia in the quarter-finals. They then came from a goal down against England to win 2-1 in extra time.
That is not a sign of a struggling team, according to Pogba, but one that has a lot of talent.
"The Croats had a very difficult match and they were behind. But they are mentally very strong. There are two teams in the final, a Cup and there are 90 minutes more.
"For us, we are not the favourites. We stay as we are from the start of the tournament. We have no doubts, we play together, that's our strength. We are chasing something and will do everything to succeed."
France, world champions in 1998 after beating Croatia in the semis, are in their third World Cup final. It is unknown territory for Croatia however.
" For sure the Croats want the star, they have had a good run. They want to win. But I have no star either although there is one on my shirt. I want mine."
Pogba said while midfielder Luka Modric was their driving force the French plan would not be limited to stopping the Real Madrid playmaker.
"The Croats are not just Modric. They have [Mario] Mandzukic [Ivan] Rakitic and |Ivan| Perisic" Pogba said. "I don't think there is a plan just for Modric. The plan is to win the match."
