Former Juventus and AC Milan marshal has described previous Juventus team-mate Paul Pogba as the best young talent he has ever witnessed.
'Pogba is the best youngster I have seen. We understood he was a great player from his first training session,' he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
'He was skinny but his legs allowed him to be everywhere. Now he is bigger and stronger.'
The Italian legend says he is yet to see a better young talent than Paul Pogba. He knew the Frenchman would be a great from their first training session.
Both midfielders won three successive league titles together at Juventus between 2013 and 2015.
Additionally, the World Cup winner was critical of modern day youngsters suggesting too many are focused on material distractions rather than striving for success.
'Now a youngster trains with the first team and they think they have made it. The most important thing is to be there and take pictures,' said Pirlo.
The midfield maestro is currently plying his trade at New York City in the United States.
