This is undoubtedly the big blow of the summer, for the moment, in Ligue 1. Eighteen months after his suspension, Paul Pogba is preparing to find the football fields, and even better: those of the French championship. The tricolor midfielder with 91 selections and 11 goals initialed his contract with AS Monaco this Saturday, a stable to which he seemed to go for many days. If the talent of the old Turinois is no doubt, an unknown remains: in what physical state will it land on the rock after so much time without playing? His physical trainer gave some answers.
In an interview with RMCRoger Caibe Rodriguez insisted that he did not want to see the finalist of the 2015 Champions League toast the steps. If some Monegasque players imagine him being ready within three or four months, he prefers not to make a prognosis concerning his foal: ” Maybe earlier, but I don't think we should rush. In this kind of case, there is no need to press it. I think it is important that he benefits from a process where he feels comfortable again, where he has confidence in him, in the coach and in the team, and where he can contribute to the best of his abilities. If he can come back earlier, certainly. But it is not something that seems very important to him for the moment. I think it is better to come back in force, that he shows what he is capable of, rather than a premature return. “Whether his comeback is from August or later in the season, there is no doubt that many eyes will be riveted on the draw during his first strides.
