Paul Pogba - The resurgence

Whenever I see something Pogba related I just can't get over his goal celebration at the Euros.

Mans does 5 celebrations for one goal thinking he won France the game only to lose the lead a few minutes later and then lose on penalties. A true top 10 moment before disaster. I will never get over it. It's my favorite celebration ever.

Apparently his brother is extorting him. He was on twitter and promised to reveal things about Pogba, Mbapay and a woman (Rafaela Pimenta) who worked with the late Raiola

What's going on @farfan, Sports, Nick etc?

France Info have provided new revelations from police sources this Sunday night in the extraordinary developing story involving France World Cup winner and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, who has notably informed police investigators that his brother, Mathias, has been part of a concerted effort to blackmail him for €13m.

The matter came to light yesterday through the publication of a video on social media by Mathias Pogba, who claimed he was about the expose major revelations about his brother, Kylian Mbappé and Rafaela Pimenta. This announcement by the striker was then followed on Sunday by an official communiqué from Paul Pogba’s camp, affirming that the ex-Manchester United man was currently the subject of a blackmail attempt.

It has since been confirmed that French prosecutors have opened an investigation into the possible “attempted blackmail by an organised gang.” Mathias Pogba then took to social media to claim that the media was attempting to spin things and that his brother has lied to Italian authorities.

But France Info have now procured details relating to the French investigation – and they are jaw-dropping.

During various interviews with the authorities, Paul Pogba is understood to have said that he was trapped by childhood friends and two hooded men armed with assault rifles during an incident in Paris. A gang that demanded €13m from him, of which his brother Mathias Pogba would be a part.

The 2018 world champion claims to be the victim of threats and attempted extortion from his older brother and childhood friends.

Paul Pogba has confided to Organised Crime division investigators that he was temporarily trapped by childhood friends and two hooded men armed with assault rifles. According to him, the gang demanded €13m from him and has intimidated him several times since, including at the Juventus training centre in Turin, where he told the police that he recognised his brother Mathias Pogba among the suspects.

Between March 25th and 29th, when the French national team hosted Côte d’Ivoire and South Africa in friendly matches, Paul Pogba took the opportunity to visit his family in Lagny-sur-Marne. Friends are then alleged to have dragged him to an apartment in Paris, where they blamed him for not helping them financially since he became a professional player. Among them, two armed men demanded €13m for “services rendered,” claiming that they had protected him discreetly for 13 years.

The 2018 world champion assured investigators that he had seen his blackmailers several times, notably in April in Manchester, then in July at the Juventus training centre in Turin. It was in Turin that he recognised his brother Mathias, with whom he has a difficult relationship, among the people he accuses of intimidating him. After this episode, Paul Pogba approached his club’s lawyers who decided to notify the police.

During his police interviews, the Juventus player explained to investigators from the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police that he had always been close to his childhood friends and that he had never hesitated to help them financially when they were in the need, until last January, when he kicked a friend out of his house who he was hosting in Manchester. He had done so because he had realised that this individual had used his credit card to steal €200,000 from him.

Investigators, according the media outlet, understand Kylian Mbappé to be linked to the affair only through Paul Pogba mentioning the fact that his blackmailers wanted to discredit him and thus put further pressure on him to pay up by spreading false messages including that he would have asked a witch doctor from inside his family circle to cast a spell on Kylian Mbappé, which the player denied to be true.

The brother is claiming he has video evidence of Paul Pogba hiring a Marabout to cast a spell on Mbappé

But why would he want to cast a spell on him? They are hardly fighting for the same spot, or is it non football related?

what the fuck is this

French football, in a World Cup year.

What a time. pic.twitter.com/u9Qdzk66AT

How unpopular do you have to be among your teammates to have them go out of their way to do black magic on you?

This is one of the dumbest scandals I've seen in a while French footballers need life coaching

Pogba is going to be left off the team. And rightly so. Deschamps has literally no tolerance of things like this.

Better info below...

Read for yourself. TV series kind of stuff lol.

This what the pogmentry should be about

Left off the team for being injured ? Or because his brother lost his damn mind ?

A story so pathetic that it's actually sad, not hard to stand with Paul on this one

There are actually 2 stories :
- Pogba being blackmailed by his scum of brother (+ kidnapping and so forth)
- Pogba allegedly asking a witchdoctor to harm Mbappé's football ability. If that part is true then just like Benzema , he's not going to the WC.

Apparently it is well known that Pogba asked witchdoctors for protection.

Missed opportunity. Maybe I would watch if it was about this

Maybe the witch craft is having a different effect in that instead of his football ability, it is affecting his mental state and causing Mbappe to be more of a dick.

Guys I don’t think we are reacting appropriately to this. POGBA CALLED A JINN ON MBAPPE

Bad news for Paul Pogba. He will undergo surgery on the meniscus in his right knee - Juventus staff has decided together with Paul today. #Pogba @SkySport pic.twitter.com/sXv3fh76wi

Allegri: "This morning @paulpogba trained for the second time, but then stopped, and it was then decided that he undergo surgery. We will realistically get him back in January."#PSGJuve

out for months

time for the white pogba to step up, Rabiot

What a season we have ahead of us

This season is probably gonna suck, at least we tried

Or maybe there is a voodoo in Turin willing to help ??

Gotta wonder what kind of counter-curse Mbappe set on him

Bad news for France also then, he will miss the WC? Does France have anyone good enough to replace him?

Kante, Tchouameni, Camavinga, Boubacar Kamara, etc.

However, France have been playing a 352 to allow for Theo Hernandez and Coman (playing as a wingback) to bomb down the flanks.  The trio in the middle for CB would be Varane and two of Kimpembe, Konate, Fofana or Saliba.  Pavard is there too; but he's fullback cover.

Midfield would be likely Kante and Tchou.  Griezmann roams and plays the 10.  Benzema and Mbappe as the strikers.

There are fitness concerns with Kante.  So I can see Camavinga playing a whole lot depending on his season at Real Madrid.

There's Rabiot and Ghendouzzi too... but these two are 5th and 6th choice.  There are some kids like Le Fee and Caqueret; but it's too early for them.  

The guy to watch out for in the future is 16 year old Warren Zaïre-Emery who made the PSG squad, played and has looked astonishing in training according to reports.  So good that Neymar and Messi always pick him first in training drills. This kid is the next star for France at CM.  Just a natural talent.  After this season, they may move Verratti to make room for him (contract ends in 2024) depending on how he does in his late game appearances (no joke; he's that good).
