Sparks of Understanding: Paul Pogba’s Double Betrayal

Beginning of an article

Sometimes in life, when one door closes, the best thing is to move on without regrets, but do not think so broad bean Pogba And Manchester United. Both sides dreamed of big things, but the reality was completely different. After five years in which there were few sparks of success, the realization came that there was no escape from separation. The prodigal son did not justify the obligatory ‘title’ – the most valuable player in the club’s history.

Just a week and a half ago United were already relegated in the home leg of the Champions League, and even before they digested it, another bomb was dropped. “It can no longer be ignored, Paul is not enjoying the team,” said Pogba’s shrewd agent. Mino Raiola. “I can say his story in Manchester is over.”

So just before the January transfer window opens and the wayward star tries to find a new destination, we will try to answer a number of important questions: How did the world champion get into this situation? Who are the groups that may join? And why would United fans not shed a tear to say the least on the day of his departure?


‘Yes, we are two, the enemy who is a friend
I’m the costume and inside another person
Shouts to the moon, cries and curses
Walks around like a dog, beaten and howled. ‘

Shortly after his 17th birthday, the French prodigy and his family made the important decision (for better or worse) in the boy’s career, the appointment of Raiola as the agent. Raiola’s scouting network marked Pogba from an early age and once the opportunity arose (legally), she took up the bargain. Just the year before, United had done everything to add Pogba and even enlisted Alex Ferguson, who eventually convinced the boy.

The legendary manager was sure that the next generation of the club, led by Pogba, would leave the demons at the top after his retirement, but he did not appreciate the independent variable called Raiola. The club believed the Frenchman would sign his first professional contract without batting an eyelid, but the agent thought otherwise. “It’s an offer that not even my Chihuahua will sign,” Raiola slammed Ferguson, who did not remain obligated and fired a barrage of colorful curses at him before the meeting exploded. Despite this, the Scot chose to put his ego aside and sent senior players to persuade Pogba to stay. For a moment it seemed to work, but behind their backs he signed for Juventus.

Ferguson was furious at Pogba’s conduct and claimed that the boy thought he was bigger than Manchester United. According to the British media, the Scot even closed the door on his face forever. But the club management thought otherwise, and a few weeks after his retirement a first offer was made for the Frenchman. While the demons failed to rise the day after Ferguson, Pogba flourished and became one of the best ties in the world.

Many clubs were interested in him, but Barcelona did not have enough money and Real Madrid could not guarantee him a permanent place in the squad. United believed such an opportunity would not return and paid the old lady £ 89 million for the player who had left her for free four years earlier. For the deal architect, Raiola, it was the biggest exit of his career when he pocketed about 27% of the transfer fee.

‘It’s like an electric shock, and it’s flowing and twisted
Where is the sense of time? I’m getting tangled up
Sparks of understanding, again pass like a moving film
Like a stormy wind, they peel off more parts of the shell. ‘

The new start under Jose Mourinho started not bad at all, and United won the League Cup and the Europa League. The young Pogba seemed to learn a thing or two about leadership as Wayne Rooney, Michael Carrick and Zlatan Ibrahimovic shared the dressing room with him, but he preferred to hang out and practice dance pieces with Jesse Lingard.

The following season the relationship between Pogba and Mourinho began to get complicated slowly but surely and the electric shock occurred in March. The Frenchman reportedly less connected to the special’s motivational methods and as a result the two barely spoke, and switched to communicating through the assistant coach – Roy Paria.

Pogba thought winning the World Cup in Russia would give him credit for the Portuguese, who surprised many and stung his star in front of everyone. “I think the World Cup is a perfect environment for players like him to give their best,” he said. Mourinho And explained why: “Because it is closed for a month, it can only concentrate on football.”

‘Fear drips like poison and is absorbed like a kiss
I’m this trap hopelessly captive
Wants to open a door, closes and does not leave
Trying to escape. ‘

The poison between the two alpha males began to drip towards the entire faculty, and the bad results began to pile up. Pogba demanded to leave but the club did not agree to sell him to Barcelona and the explosion was not long in coming. The point of no return occurred in training in September when Mourinho scolded his star in front of everyone and stripped him of the role of vice-captain, then claimed he would never return to the post.

A month later, the manager was furious with Pogba and said in front of all the players that he was a virus, that he did not invest, did not respect his teammates and destroyed the mentality of the team. The club realized that there was no way to bridge the gap between the two, who had become enemies and they had to choose one side. Mourinho is the one who received the dismissal notice.

‘It’s like dancing with a demon that hugs and doesn’t leave
Yes he is always hungry. I walk away
Sparks of understanding, again pass like a moving film
Like a stormy wind, they peel off more parts of the shell. ‘

The Red Devils chose to embrace him in the hope that it would yield different results from the period with the special, and that really worked. Under Ola Gunnar Solskjaer Pogba returned to smiling and began to show stability. The connection proved to all those who eulogized him that he really did not forget to play football and rewarded the Norwegian with nine goals and six assists in his first 12 games in the role. However, the Frenchman returned to Soro very quickly and United have lost eight of their last 12 games in all competitions.

The following season, the Frenchman suffered a prolonged ankle injury that caused him to miss about 65 per cent of team games and United have begun to realize that Pogba is not exactly the tie-breaker he has fallen for. At that time a new guy came to Old Trafford, who very quickly became the “accepted boy in the class,” Bruno Fernandez. The Frenchman still managed to return towards the end of the season and the cooperation between them did not even look bad at all but history has taught us that it will not last.

And again Pogba started to move away, when in the summer he tried to leave for Real Madrid. Eventually Solskjaer also realized that the collaboration between his two stars could not work at the high levels and Pogba, who was disappointed once again, lost his place in the squad. As a result, he and the super-agent chose to use Doomsday weapons and publicly announced that the story was over.

So true, the chances of a player like Pogba leaving in January are not particularly high according to past cases, but because his contract will expire in a year and a half and the demons do not want to lose him again for free they will have to act soon. According to recent reports Juventus is the most serious and also the most realistic candidate to which he will leave and it seems that Raiola has already started preparing the ground. The fact that Yuva Vice President Pavel Nedved was one of the first agent of the super agent helps quite a bit, and in addition Real Madrid and PSG have set themselves other goals for the summer, although they can always surprise. So just before his career passes like a moving picture, Pogba will try to put behind him the many demons that have hindered his path and maybe finally the spark will return to his eyes.
