Paul Pogba is about to return to football, after agreeing to join Monaco on a 2 -year contract. At the age of 32, can he find the peak of his form, after 3 years away from the pitch because of the suspension?
As he led Real Madrid, coach Zinedine Zidane once insisted that President Florentino Perez took a midfielder Paul Pogba. At that time, Zizou was extremely “connected” by a compatriot. He even strongly stated that, if choosing to join the Bernabeu, the French will soon become the owner of the title of “Golden Ball”.
Although it has not been able to touch the noble “Golden Ball” title, Pogba's player's career has had bright landmarks, most notably the 2018 World Cup – the tournament that the central midfielder has played a very important role in the gameplay of France. Not to mention, he also with the “Gaulois rooster” won the UEFA Nations League 2020/21.
Unfortunately, the 4 -year suspension due to the use of banned substances has caused Pogba to dissipate his career. He was canceled by Juventus and almost covered the door back to France. It was still lucky for this midfielder, when he was reduced and could come here to re -export the pitch. According to the latest news, Pogba has just reached a 2 -year contract agreement with Monaco Club.
According to the latest news, in the next few days, Pogba will officially sign a contract with Monaco. The former French player shook his head at many suggestions, notably the fact that he refused to join the Al Ittihad Club, despite Saudi Arabia's team, offered a very attractive offer about salary. Pogba sees Monaco as an ideal stop for him to rebuild his life.
Many French football fans are paying special attention to Pogba. People are very curious whether the midfielder used to be highly appreciated by the legend of Zidane can return to the top football. Remember, Pogba has spent 3 years without playing any match by suspension.
Of course, during that 3 -year punishment, Pogba had never intended to give up football. He still worked hard to maintain his style and wait for the day to re -export the pitch. Having had a long time, the midfielder asked to practice with his old team MU, in which he did not bother to practice with the young players of the Old Trafford team.
But even when practicing is very regular, nothing guarantees that Pogba can quickly catch up. The former French player returned to the top football with another mood, in another position. In particular, this year he is 32 years old – the age that many players have begun to think about retiring to move to another job.
It is important that Pogba lives very instinctively and is often dominated by emotions. This has hindered the former French player from the “Golden Ball” title as expected of Zidane and once made him rejected. Not to mention, Pogba's career was repeatedly interrupted due to serious injuries. To be able to succeed with Monaco, the former French player needs to avoid those problems.
It is known that Pogba's last time played in an official match was in September 2023, in the match against the host of Empoli in the 3rd round of Serie A season 2023/24. But that day, he only played 28 minutes, in Juventus 2-0 victory. And to last the last time Pogba played a full 90 minutes, need to shoot in March 2022, when the French star still wears MU.
