He’s a phenomenal player.
@Ali Dia I must say I’m disappointed in you, after the progress you made this season you have reverted to type since the Euros, coming in to seek to provide mitigation for any Pog-praise.
I’m not sure some people understand football. Actually, I think they do, but are wilfully taking the opportunity to be ignorant here. If you are caught in possession on the 18 yard line and concede, fair enough - the goal is ‘your fault’. If you are tackled literally on the halfway line, and you get the misfortune of your team going on to concede, I’ve never seen a goal blamed on you in such scenario. Of course, if Pogba lost the ball doing stepovers, I’d even understand it. But the pass back from Benzema wasn’t smart in the first place, and as soon as he touched it, an opponent was on his touch. That is football.
There was a point late on where Pogba robbed the ball from someone and broke forward and was fouled as he passed to Mbappé. If France scored, no way would the goal be blamed on the person Pogba got the ball from. That’s not how football works.
