Wait a little longer! Team News: Pogba is welcomed in Monaco and it will take at least three months to recover

French "League" wrote an article today to reveal Pogba's new life after joining Monaco.

Since coming to England with Monaco to practice last Sunday, Pogba has been warmly welcomed by Southampton U18 young players who share the venue to train together. As soon as they saw the former Manchester United star, they came forward to ask for a photo. Even members of the England national team and Dell, who had just transferred from Bayern to join Monaco, failed to enjoy similar treatment.

Nearly two years after leaving the professional arena, the 32-year-old controversial French star finally has a chance to return to the greenery. Pogba was banned for two years after taking stimulants. When the ban was finally lifted on March 11, the French star immediately received interest from Saudi Arabia and Spain. Pogba chose to accept the invitation from Monaco and signed with them for two years.

It is reported that Monaco hopes to bring the team on the court through this signing, so that the coach can manage young players in the locker room. In the last season's match, Monaco's youth team exposed the shortcomings of inexperience in several key matches, especially in the three matches against Benfica in the Champions League (League Stage and Playoffs).

Here, Monaco can satisfy Pogba's desire to play in the Champions League. For Pogba, this undoubtedly makes him ideally achieve his career goal: to regain his form and strive to participate in the 2026 World Cup next summer.

It is reported that before joining, Pogba sought the opinions of Evra and Mbappe. In the end, the team's inclusive atmosphere and good environment made Pogba determined to join, and even shed tears when signing. This time, Pogba and the club's senior management reached a consensus, that is, to integrate into the team in a low-key manner. Although the news of his joining with Fati has attracted great attention from outside and local fans, and half of the newly sold jerseys have Pogba's name printed on it, the new Monaco No. 8 still hopes to be treated as a regular signing.

On July 3, Pogba made a frank announcement to the media on site at the press conference: "We need some time to get me back to my best shape, and I will listen to the club's opinions before that. But if I decide, I want to play tomorrow." But on the same day, the Monaco director revealed that Pogba's return will take at least 3 months.

Now Pogba's training is still all indoors, and he is focusing on the recovery training according to the rehabilitation plan. Last week, he and Fati, who is also a new player in the team, watched the team's two preseason warm-up games on the sidelines. It is understood that Pogba is working hard to integrate into the team both inside and outside the locker room. He knows several players, especially Tillo Creer, and Pogba's cheerful and optimistic personality is also highly appreciated by the locker room and staff.

Monaco coach Xuter

Monaco coach Xuter noticed that Pogba was happy to share his experience with the old and young players on the team and provide them with some advice. Xuter said: "I often observe how he gets along with young players, and he is their role model. On the one hand, everyone regards him as a superstar because he won the 2018 World Cup as a key player, but when he walks into the room, you quickly find that he is very humble."

Pogba, now 32 years old, is the oldest player in the team. He and Dell (31) and Takumi Minamino (30) are the only players in the team who are three years old and 30 years old. He always greets everyone, for example, during the game against Coventry, he smiled and asked 18-year-old striker Ilenichner: "How do you spell your name?" and then joked with him.

Dell said: "We can feel what it means to him every day when we return to professional football. He is very happy to be back in the team. He is a role that shines in the team. It is great news to welcome a world champion player like him and Giroud."
