It is, in any case, he probably hopes, a page that will soon be able to turn for Paul Pogba.
Bothered both sportingly and extra-sportingly in recent weeks, both by a knee injury which required an operation and by the infamous "Pogba affair", which affected him in his family circle, Paul Pogba should very soon put at least one of those worries aside when returning to the pitches.
“Pogba came out of the nightmare, assured his agent, Rafaela Pimenta, his “second mother” and agent since the death of Mino Raiola, in an interview with
Tuttosport
.
He will carry Juve.

"He is enthusiastic," said the heiress of the Raiola empire.
Paul's super power is to overcome difficulties with incredible strength and great positivity.
A few weeks ago, he said to me: “Rafaela, enough is enough.
I don't want to think about anything anymore, I focus on my knee and recovery, because I want to play again”.
And that's what he did: he's able to cut himself off from the world and just focus on one goal.

A project for a “dialogue and support platform for the mental health” of footballers
For Pimenta, whose lawyers had quickly reacted through a press release after the publication of Mathias Pogba's first video, what his client experienced is "not uncommon among footballers".
“They are threatened because they are very exposed.
I've seen it all, especially the blackmail: players are afraid to report these things for fear of damage to their image or out of shame.
They therefore remain silent and undergo incredible stress, risking compromising their performance or even injuring themselves.
When Paul finally decided to get help, he improved the situation and realized there was a solution.

"Paul has now done everything he has to do," she said finally.
Yeah, maybe he could have told me that earlier, but I get it.
Because it is not easy to talk about these things and we often try to solve them alone, because we are ashamed, because we are afraid.
" Today, she even reveals that the player has set up a project with her: " to develop a platform for dialogue and support for the mental health of a footballer, to give advice anonymously, because footballers are not not always able to overcome certain problems.

While waiting to complete this new project, the main objective for Paul Pogba will already be to return to the field, at least the World Cup in Qatar (November 20-December 18) which he still aims to compete with the France team. .
Since his return to Juventus this summer, the Frenchman has not played a single match in Italy, just 45 minutes of a pre-season friendly, with this meniscus injury for which he was operated on in early September.
Its presence in Qatar was then seriously compromised.
