Starring in the film 4 Zeros, Paul Pogba, who saw his sanction reduced for doping, is enjoying a great media tour and is diligently preparing his return to competition. During this complicated period in which he was logically silent, the French midfielder was able to count on valuable support including that of the coach of the France team, Didier Deschamps. A defense that really affected the 31-year-old:
“This touched me. I appreciated seeing that my coach was behind me, that he believed me. We have a very, very good relationship, we can tell each other things. I was completely transparent. I told him what happened, the truth. Deschamps is one of those who helped me during this period. There are others, like Didier Drogba. I was able to speak with Zlatan (Ibrahimovic) too. I had a conversation with Cristiano (Ronaldo). They know how I am, who I am. They all told me to keep my head up. It’s nice.», he declared in an interview with our colleagues from L’Équipe.
