While his career is at a standstill after testing positive for testosterone, Paul Pogba is still in the news. Graeme Souness has launched a new dig at the Frenchman.
Since August 20, Paul Pogba has been in the pits. Testing positive for testosterone, the French midfielder was suspended by Juventus while waiting to know the sanction he will receive. Victim of repeated injuries for several seasons and plagued by major extra-sporting problems with an extortion attempt which was allegedly orchestrated by certain members of his entourage, Paul Pogba may have missed out on an otherwise more flamboyant career. . In any case, this is the opinion of Graeme Souness.
Liverpool FC figure turned consultant, the one who won three European Champion Club Cups (old version of the current Champions League) and five English championship titles with the Reds, has regularly targeted “the Pickaxe” in recent years. He once again mentioned the Frenchman at the microphone of talkSPORT this Monday. For the former Scottish international, it is the frustration of seeing Pogba miss out on an even better career that justifies his repeated banderillas.

“ He had everything it took to become the best midfielder in the world. I saw a young man victimized by his emotions many times and it frustrated me. With that physique and technical ability, he just didn’t have the right attitude to become a superstar. » And Graeme Souness talks about what, according to him, put a big stop to Paul Pogba’s progress. “ The worst thing that happened to him was winning the World Cup (2018) because he could respond to criticism by saying: ‘I’m the winner of a World Cup.’ I think that’s when he started to regress. »
