Paul Pogba is at the center of all attention. Announced close to a return by his coach Adi Hütter, the 2018 world champion is still dividing. If his coach has great confidence, some observers, including Pierre Ménès, express serious doubts.
Before the meeting between ASM and Le Havre last week, Hütter was enthusiastic. “Paul is increasingly close to the team. I see it in crampons now. But we have to be careful, protect it. But maybe in two weeks he can take part in training, make a game. We can't wait to see him on the ground ”underlined the Monegasque coach.
For his part, the main interested party has never hidden his ambition: finding the grounds for the 2026 World Cup, after having crossed a long injury and a doping suspension. But he wants to be careful. “I don't want to come to the field and not be me, Paul Pogba. I think everyone is waiting for that, seeing a big Paul Pogba on the ground. This is what I am preparing “he said on August 8.
“Life is very soft in Monaco”
This speech does not convince Pierre Ménès. On his YouTube channel, the former consultant of the Canal Football Club has expressed his doubts concerning Pogba's ability to return to the foreground so quickly. According to him, the state of form of the tricolor environment remains far from the standards necessary to win in Ligue 1 and aim for a place in the France team.
“Regarding Pogba, I do not hear only great things about him, especially in terms of seriousness out of the field”Lance Ménès. “A priori, and it is not a scoop, life is very soft in Monaco. As you know, since its signature at ASM, I am more than doubtful, I can even say that I am very frankly pessimistic. I hope to be mistaken because he is a beautiful player, but I fear that no ”he concludes.
