“It’s not all about strategy in big games. Wanting something badly is big motivation,” he wrote in The Times of India.
“How badly he wants it could determine the distance between France and yet another successful home run.”
Where Diego Maradona hailed Real Madrid star as game changer for Portugal, Argentina legend has warned Fernando Santos’s side that they can’t afford to take eyes of France’s danger man Antoine Griezmann, who has already scored 6 goals at the Euros so far.

“Like France thinking of containing CR7, Portugal will be wary of AG7. Griezmann has a lovely touch, a sublime left foot, and his six goals have lit up the tournament.
“They carry the confidence of dumping out Germany, while Portugal have had an additional day of rest, with time to think about the blue wave about to test their defence.”
“They have resources in midfield and attack to put Portugal under pressure,” the 1986 Argentina World Cup winner wrote.
“Pogba is peaking at the right time. The trick he displayed before chipping the ball in for the second goal [against Germany] was about amazing skills, other than confidence.
“[Blaise] Matuidi and [Moussa] Sissoko are the spoilers in midfield, where [Dimitri] Payet will have a more attacking role, after having fallen back deeper in the semi-final.
“France’s strength lies in this department, that harries the opponent and takes the game forward.”
