Pogbamania. Since June 29 and even from the first rumors about it in the Principality, Paul Pogba has vibrated all lovers of AS Monaco. And they are not the only ones. The arrival of the 2018 world champion on the rock is a real event that also fascinates supporters of the French team, but also those who love the round ball as well as the press. During his presentation to the press last week, there were more than fifty journalists from France, Italy but also from England. Two countries where the pickaxe has had successes, under the jerseys of Manchester United and Juventus. He also experienced complicated moments, especially in 2023 when he was suspended for 4 years following a positive doping control. A sanction which was finally reduced to 18 months.
The Pogbamania takes shelter of Monaco and the L1
Authorized to replay football since March 11, the 2018 world champion has taken the time to reflect, while he was crumbling under the offers. And it was ultimately that of Monaco who convinced him. “I am first very happy to be able to postpone a football jersey. With AS Monaco, it is a pleasure and an honor to be part of this list of great players spent by AS Monaco. This is the first step, feeling the football fields. Just to resume. And afterwards, come back in shape as best as possible to help the team, the best I can. Being alone for two years is not the same as being with a group. I am determined, I can't wait to be with them ”had admitted the native of Lagny-sur-Marne, who had also said more about his state of form. This is one of the questions after his signature since his last official match dates back to September 3, 2023, 22 months.
But the pickaxe, which continued to speak physically during its months of inactivity, was clear: “Mentally and physically, I'm fine. Today, I saw that in Monaco there was a very good structure of people who will help me come back to the high level. Mentally, I am a determined person to come back. Resume the pleasure I had lost. Return, with time and patience, to my best level. (…) I want to come back to the grounds, after I shouldn't be too in a hurry. We will take the time it will take to be at the top of my form and to help the team. I will not help the team by being 50%. I'm going to listen to the club, if it was up to me, I will be on the field tomorrow (laughs). I want to feel this lawn, the terrain, the balloons. It will take the time it will take. Monaco made me an XXL program for me. It is my body that will tell me. My mind and my physique took a hit. Taking up the pro level is intense. When my body will tell me, I will be back on the grounds. ”
The environment has already conquered everyone
Thiago Scuro (DG) also spoke about it in the media. “You have to be realistic and honest. We expect a three -month process to be able to rethletics. When you see it on TV, high level sport may seem easy, but you have to realize the requested intensity. And Monaco is one of the teams in Ligue 1 and in the most intense Europe in terms of game. So our players must be in good shape to be on the field. But it's our job to bring him tools for that. ” PP therefore continues as planned as its rethletics program for just over a decade, we were told. Little stingy in efforts, French discovers its new environment and takes its marks with humility. He has also integrated very well into the team, the group and the club, with the character we know according to our information.
Renowned to be sociable, jovial and funny, Pogba is still so much, he who appreciates finding group life and daily in a club after having been alone for months. Very professional, for example, he participated in marketing operations for the launch of the new Ligue 1 channel (Ligue 1+). In short, everything seems to be doing well for the moment for the midfielder, who does not go after step and which is already conquering everyone without even playing. The craze is there. On the social networks of the princely club, videos on Pogba and Ansu Fati, loaned by Barça, today total more than 380 million views. Regarding new jerseys, more than half of the pre-commissioned tunics were in the name of Pogba. Monaco like his sponsor, Mizuno, can already rub his hands. The Paul Pogba effect is already felt at ASM.
