POGBA. In this mini series more than a documentary, Paul Pogba reveals himself like never before, here is what to remember, attention spoilers alert.
Broadcast this Friday, June 17, The Pogmentary highlights the star of the France team Paul Pogba, revealing his rise to the highest level, his successes, fears and failures. But if you’re waiting for Paul Pogba’s new club, you’ll have to wait because nothing filters through in this 5-episode mini-series. A sentence can still hold the attention, the confidence of Mino Raiola on the PSG. “I would love to see him at Paris Saint-Germain. I think that at PSG, it would be the return of the King (in France)”, launches Raiola without specifying whether the Parisian club was indeed in the ranks to enlist the French midfielder who had four possible destinations at the dawn of the 2021-2022 season according to his former agent, now deceased.
In the rest of The Pogmentary, several phrases are worth remembering. First his annoyance with Manchester United and his non-extension. They are bluffers! You say you absolutely want a player, but you offer nothing. I have never seen that. The club won’t let me go. When you have one year left on your contract, that means you’re going to be free. If I decide to stay, we can always find a solution. If I decide to leave, no one will be able to say no to me. No one can stop me. The France – Switzerland of theEuro 2021 also takes a place in the documentary with a scenario not considered at all. “”It was a very nice goal. The ball goes into the top corner… it’s full of adrenaline, direct (…) I looked to my right, I was looking for my brothers (in the audience). We really thought that, there, the match was folded” Before the gap was reduced, then an equalizer (3-3) after a ball lost by Pogba. “I hadn’t read the game. I was rushed… and this loss of ball… I was very upset. No one could have imagined this scenario“Before this scenario, we also discover the complicity with Antoine Griezmann, we discover an exchange on the announcement of the return of KB9 to the France team. “I called Hugo [Lloris]he said to me: ‘No, I did not know’, there I called you and you did not know” launches the Atlético striker.
Finally, beyond sport, the documentary obviously talks about intimacy and his role as a father. ““Football is good, but one day my career will be over and I will always be a dad“. In particular, he highlights the technological means that allow him to maintain the link with his two sons. “I want my children to be proud of me, to say to themselves that I have done so many things, that I have won a World Cup… and to say to themselves: ‘He was there for us too.’“
