Pogba depression

Hence the injuries and the black period, the last one in Turin, as had already happened on his return to Manchester United, where with Mourinho he no longer played: “And I fall into depression without even realizing it because nobody teaches you. I noticed it when I started losing my hair”. In Turin, the coup de grace came with the disqualification for doping: “I didn’t want to stay in Turin anymore. In the morning I brought the children to school, right next to the training center and for me it was pain”.

He cleaned up and showed me real life. But suddenly I was aged by ten years”. But the desire for the field remains intact and Pogba is looking for a new shirt. Indeed a new scene: “Because for me football is a show. If I look at a game I want to see a show, get up and applaud”.
