Paul PogbaJuventus midfielder who is serving a suspension, gave an exclusive interview to Sky Sports. Here is an excerpt: “I am very happy to feel the love of the people, I came to see France, I met fans and I really felt a great love, which made me very happy. I haven’t been on the pitch for a while and hearing the people cheer and sing my name is nice”.
In a recent interview he said he was “dead”. Do you still hope to return?
“If you haven’t seen a video of me saying I’m done with football, it’s because I’m still a footballer. I’m still here, positive, I have an opportunity to fight what I think is an injustice. Let’s see, things will get better. I don’t know if you’ve seen the whole interview, they only put a part where I hadn’t even finished speaking. I never said that Pogba doesn’t exist anymore, Pogba is here. Until you see me say I’ve stopped… Watch the video again, I said other things afterwards. I still feel like a footballer, I’m training and in these moments I have to be only positive. I’m spending a lot of time with my family, I see the children grow up. I’m not doing the thing I love, football, but I really want to go back… A huge desire, I feel like a child who wants to become a professional”.
How is his situation with Juventus?
“From the latest news I am still a Juventus player and I think you should talk to them. I have a contract, I haven’t been able to talk to the director or the coach yet, I think they are waiting for the appeal. Ask them the rest”.
