The World Cup dream is still present for Paul Pogba. Less than two weeks before the announcement of the Blues list, the 2018 world champion still hopes to convince Didier Deschamps to take him to the United States.
This was Pogba’s goal when he signed for AS Monaco last summer. And even though he has played very little this season, the 33-year-old midfielder has not given up on the World Cup. This is what he assured Adil Rami this Sunday evening in an interview with Ligue 1+.
The former Marseillais asked him to imagine a conversation with Didier Deschamps about the World Cup. Pogba explains that he will not do like in 2022, where he called the coach to tell him that he was not operational for the World Cup. This time, if “DD” calls on him, “La Pioche” will respond that he is ready to be of service to the Blues.
Can Pogba convince Deschamps?
In 2022, Pogba announced his package on October 31, a few days before the announcement of the Blues list by Deschamps (November 9). “ After medical examinations yesterday (Sunday) and today (Monday), It is extremely painful to report that Paul Pogba will still need rehabilitation after his operation. For this reason, Paul will not be able to join (…)
the French team in Qatar“, revealed his lawyer, Rafaela Pimenta, in a press release.
At the time, Pogba had been out for more than three months due to a knee injury. This season, not spared from physical problems, he has only played six Ligue 1 matches, including only one as a starter… this weekend in Metz. His performance did not convince observers. Will Didier Deschamps have a different opinion?
