In the midst of turmoil, Paul Pogba can count on support. For example that of Adrien Rabiot. In an interview with Téléfoot this Sunday, the Blues midfielder spoke about the complicated situation of his teammate at Juventus Turin. As a reminder, the second opinion requested by Pogba after his positive doping test in August confirmed the presence of testosterone. This exposes him to four years of suspension, a sanction which could be reduced by half if he manages to demonstrate non-intentionality.
Since the announcement of his positive doping test on September 11, Pogba has no longer had access to the Juve training center. Provisionally suspended, he no longer plays and his salary is reduced to the minimum threshold. For Téléfoot, Adrien Rabiot affirms his support for his teammate. “I had the opportunity to chat with Paul. It’s true that it’s a complicated situation. At the club, we were all quite dejected by this news. Of course, we are with him. He has our support, I hope he comes out of this as best as possible. All that in a row for one person, that’s still a lot…”
Rabiot also refers to the kidnapping and extortion affair that the 2018 world champion has been facing for 18 months. Monday October 9, Didier Deschamps, the coach of the Blues, questioned on this subject, declared himself “very sad for Pogba”. If he does not want to have a “categorical position” on the player’s future in the Blues, he added: “a lot of things have been falling on his head lately. He finds himself in a complicated situation. He will defend himself. He will need to defend himself, it will be part of a long procedure. »

Adrien Rabiot, during this interview, also spoke about his personal situation and his new role as captain of the Blues. “I’m very happy to be where I am, I’m fully enjoying it,” admits the Juventus midfielder. It’s an achievement to arrive at this level, to be consistent, to continue to be called up and to be one of those players on whom the coach relies enormously. » Before continuing: “a career is never linear. There have been ups and downs but I hope there will be good things to come, very soon. The goal is to always go higher. »
