The name of Pogba again displayed on the display board. Two goals scored at the end of the match, a victory torn off for his team, and a noticed return after a long absence …
It was enough to make football fans vibrate, convinced of finding Paul Pogba, whose suspension for doping has just ended. However, behind this resounding come-back hides another story.
Double surprise of a pogba: the comeback that no one had seen coming
It was Mathias Pogba, a older brother of Paul, who found the lawns this weekend in Belgium. Released after having served a sentence of one year in prison-including a party in pre-trial detention-for attempted extortion against his own brother, the 34-year-old striker signed a thunderous return under the colors of the Sint-Niklaas SKN, an amateur club. Author of a double in the last minutes of a breathtaking derby (82nd and 90th minutes), he offered a precious victory to his team (4-3).
In Pogba, the dynamics are reversed
Ironically, it is now up to Paul Pogba to take example from his brother. His suspension of 18 months for doping officially ended this month, and he is again eligible for competition. But no club has yet manifested itself to welcome him, despite his immense talent and prestigious record. The resumption of the former midfielder of Juventus therefore remains unanswered.
Seeing Mathias regaining a taste for football, even at a modest level, while Paul stays in uncertainty, is not without arouing a certain irony. Formerly in the shadow of his illustrious brother, Mathias offers himself a form of unexpected sport redemption. As for Paul, all eyes are now turned towards him: will he also come back through the big door?
