After the new revelations in the Paul Pogba affair, taken from the player's second hearing with the investigators, the Minister of Sports and the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra explained herself again on Sunday evening about the affair.
"This is a matter to which I am attentive, I want the France group to be well, that its players are well, taken individually or collectively, and that they are in the best possible conditions to perform, a fortiori, in effect, two months from the World Cup
, ”said Amélie Oudéa-Castéra on Sunday evening on

In this affair, which has caused a lot of ink to flow with the publication of several videos of Mathias Pogba (Paul's older brother), the question of the entourage of footballers has been relaunched in the public debate.
Oudéa-Castéra hopes to find solutions to this real problem which plagues the sporting world.
“
You have to be very attentive to the question of the entourage.
When you're a champion, you're exposed to all kinds of influences, good ones, bad ones.
I think there must be support from the clubs, the authorities, from the training stages
, ”said the minister.
As the World Cup in Qatar is fast approaching, the Minister of Sports is counting on coach Didier Deschamps, known for his very good management of players since the start of his coaching career, to ensure that the group is the least impacted by this case.
"
We all know
that
a successful career in this type of competition is based on a combination of the form of his talents, the quality of life of the group, but we are lucky to have Didier Deschamps: I give him everything trust.

But Amélie Oudéa-Castéra maintains her total confidence in Deschamps to manage these extra-sporting parasitic elements.
“
He has all the experience necessary to manage this type of sensitive, complex situation
.
He proved it as a player, as a coach, as a coach.
I know that we will adapt to the situation and that Didier will be able to protect his collective from these turbulences,
”she then concluded.
