Pogba is like LeBron, Bolt: Chiellini
London: Juventus and Italy’s football defender Giorgio Chiellini has compared former teammate and Manchester United player Paul Pogba to basketball star LeBron James and sprint legend Usain Bolt.”We’ve changed players and now we are a side like any other,” Chiellini told Sky Sport in an interview in Italy.”We’re not used to losing and, in addition to this, we’ve lost a player like Pogba who was the LeBron James of football and, even when you didn’t notice him, he was impressive,” he added.
In a separate interview with Sport Mediaset, Chiellini said, “Pogba was our Usain Bolt – – he allowed us to play in a certain way. Now we’ve changed. We’re working on it and (manager Massimiliano) Allegri is not an idiot.”Juventus are missing the highly rated midfielder who has impressed of late at United, Chiellini said.Pogba was with Juventus from 2012 to 2016, before re-joining his former club United in the summer for a world record transfer fee.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
