256. Crazy Quote (4000 Words Two Bigger Chapters!) )

Paul Pogba (born 15 March 1993 in Paris, France) is a French professional footballer of Guinean origin who currently plays for Juventus Football Club.

Pogba, nicknamed "Boba", was born in the youth academy of Le Havre in France, and was taken away by Manchester United Academy on a scholarship because of his outstanding performance, at the age of 16.

The move sparked strong protests and displeasure from Le Havre, who filed a one-page petition with UEFA, knowing that a year later, United agreed to pay a large amount of compensation before finally settling the matter.

However, although valued by Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson, the then Manchester United manager, would rather use the Korean Park Ji-sung as the main force in the midfield, rather than boldly use Pogba, due to the lack of playing opportunities and unable to meet the salary requirements, Pogba refused to renew his contract with Manchester United after the contract expired, and joined the Serie A giants Juventus as a free agent. Since his retirement, the Red Devils have been in a situation of weakness for a long time, and the dignified Premier League No. 1 giants have no trophy.

Pogba captained France at the U20 World Junior Championship and helped the team win the championship and was named the MVP of the tournament, and from that year, Pogba became a regular in the French national team and played in the World Cup in Brazil as a main player, and scored his first goal in the international tournament in the quarter-final against the African Eagles Nigeria, which sent the Gallic Roosters to the quarter-finals, and Pogba became the best player of the game.

Pogba won the Rookie of the Year award for his wonderful performance at the World Cup in Brazil and was also shortlisted for the European Ballon d'Or that year.

In 2013, Italy's "Torino Sport" announced the winner of the European Golden Boy Award that year, and the shining midfield star Pogba beat the Brazilian genius Philippe Coutinho, the German talented midfielder Julian Draxler, Wilfried Zaha, known as the "England God", and the talented defender French compatriot Raphael Varane, won the honorary award known as the young European footballer, and he also became the second largest player in Europe after Rafael van der Vaart, Wayne Rooney, Leo Messi, After Francisco Fabregas, Sergio Aguero, Anderson Luis de Abreu Oliveira (Manchester United striker), Alexandre Rodriguez da Silva (his alias should be best known, yes, Pato), Mario Balotelli, Mario Gotze, Francisco Romain Araçón Suarez (well, Spain's real name is too long, it's usually called him by another name, Isco), the 11th is the European Golden Boy winner.

Former Arsenal captain and French legend Patrick Vieira said: "People say he's a lot like me, I think it's because we have similarities in terms of possession and he's strong, very tall and a classy player. ”

Vieira also pointed out that Pogba is different from himself: "He has a stronger attacking sense and I may have had more interceptions, but he has better technique. He will be one of the best players in the world. ”

To sum up, the French phenom has been hailed as a "powerful, technically and creative" player who can show superstar ability on both ends of the pitch and is hailed as a player.

Therefore, in order to make up for the mistakes, but also to regain the championship team under the leadership of Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho and reinvigorate the Red Devils, Manchester United offered Juventus a sky-high price of 120 million euros that was difficult to refuse and shocked the world.

If the move does come true, the 23-year-old French midfielder will overtake Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo as the most expensive transfer player on the planet.

Although giants such as Real Madrid and Arsenal are still chasing, Manchester United is the only one who has made an offer.

La Liga giants Real Madrid, who have not moved much this summer, seem to be stable, although the Champions League king is not bad for money, but in the face of Manchester United's offer, Real Madrid seems to be hesitating, although its coach Zinedine Zidane loves this French fellow very much, but Real Madrid's midfield is overcrowded, if you want to introduce this talented midfielder, I'm afraid, you have to sell a few midfielders first.

As for Arsenal, which is not bad for money, it seems that they can offer a higher price, but Arsenal CEO David Dunn seems to be busy with other things, Arsène Wenger is leading the team to the United States and is worried about injuries.

For football clubs, the most feared thing is non-combat attrition, especially the injury of multiple main players and substitutes in one position, which will greatly affect the team's results in a season.

Arsene Wenger and his coaching staff have to deal with the bad news: new captain Per Mertesacker suffered a more serious knee injury in the warm-up match against Lens in France and could be sidelined for up to five months, meaning the German centre-back's 2016 Premier League campaign may be coming to an early end.

Former captain Mikel Arteta spent last season through injury, leaving Arsenal fans wondering if the Gunners had a captaincy curse: anyone who captained Arsenal was either sold the following season or spent most of his season in a hospital bed.

Mertesacker's injury means Arsenal face a serious centre-back shortage: Brazilian centre-back Gabriel Paulista has returned to London after tonsillitis and has been omitted from the US squad, while fellow centre-back France international Laurent Koscielny has just played in the European Championship final and is confirmed to miss the start of the new Premier League season.

Fortunately, with the recent signing of homegrown centre-back Rob Holding and a powerful centre-back from Bolton, Kalidou Koulibaly, who was poached from Napoli, plus Callum Chambers and Nacho Monreal, who can play as a centre-back, Arsenal are not stretched thin in the centre-back position.

In the friendly match between Arsenal and Manchester City in Sweden on August 7 and the Premier League opener against Liverpool on August 14, the professor may have to bet on the newcomers, especially Koulibaly, who may not have time to adapt to the Premier League and rush into the game, and can foresee the huge pressure on the backline.

Considering that Arsenal still has two players in the backline, Wenger urged his old partner Dunn to hurry up and take down Ricardo Rodriguez and others, so as to avoid injuries in the warm-up game and no one will be available.

Because England failed to reach the final of the European Championship in France and met with the French team, Pogba failed to compete with his classmates, but Pogba still learned about Qiansheng's performance in the European Championship through video afterwards.

At just 15 years old and only playing in one European Cup, he shared the honor of the all-time goalscorer of the European Championship with his French predecessor Michel Platini, one of the two most powerful stars on the planet, Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

Moreover, Qiansheng can still participate in two or three European Cups, and Ronaldo can only participate in one more session at most, so it is only a matter of time before he surpasses his predecessors and dominates the top spot.

More importantly, Qiansheng's age determines that he still has more room for improvement, and now many football experts and fans around the world are optimistic that he can reach the height of Gerd Müller, who is the Golden Boot of the last century, the emperor of the striker, the No. 1 bomber in Germany, and the No. 1 goalscorer in his career.

His agent, Mino Raiola, told him that Italy's "Torino Sport", the founder of the European Golden Boy Award, will select this year's winner at the end of the year, and the possibility of a dry life is the greatest.

If nothing else, he will be the youngest ever winner of the European Golden Boy Award, breaking the age of 18 for Argentine superstar Leo Messi.

"That's genius, isn't it?" Seeing that Qiansheng didn't seem to notice their arrival, but continued to train, Pogba thought silently in his heart.

"Paul, you know what," said the stocky Raiola smiling beside Pogba, "and at that time, Jorge also came, and I thought that I might only have half the hope of signing. ”

Jorge Mendes, Raiola's nemesis, his stars are like clouds, the ace is naturally his fellow Ronaldo, Raiola and him, one of the best figures in the circle of agents, in recent years, Mendes has been in the limelight for a while, faintly surpassing Raiola, and is a stable leader in the total amount of transfers.

Pogba looked at Raiola and asked, "You beat him?" ”

Raiola shook his head, looked at the sweaty Qiansheng, and said: "Qian, it seems that he is not very interested in whether there is an agent or not, and it is precisely because of this that he made a condition to me and Jorge, if anyone can accept it, he will choose whomever he wants." ”

Don't look at Pogba's well-developed limbs, a player who plays in midfield, can learn from the skills of Andrea Pirlo, Italy's playmaker at the back, and definitely has a smart brain.

Pogba said thoughtfully: "The conditions he offered are very harsh, right, and in the end only you accepted it?" ”

Raiola smiled bitterly, and Pogba's eyes lit up: "Mino, how many points?" ”

Raiola gave him a blank look: "Trade secrets!" ”

Pogba laughed, he can make this fat man who loves money like his life and the wealthy family is greedy, this Chinese boy has a lot of ability.

How did he know that Qiansheng loved money more than this fat man, if it weren't for the trouble, many things needed to be operated by a professional broker, and Qiansheng didn't want the agent to share his income at all.

"Manchester United have bid 121 million euros, which is enough to make you surpass Jorge, this limelight, you should not miss it." Pogba smiled lightly and said.

Raiola squinted, looked at Pogba, and said insightfully: "The environment and competitiveness of Serie A are destined to make it difficult for the old woman to have good results in the Champions League, Real Madrid is a giant, but you are not the only one, Barcelona can't come up with the money, although Manchester United has money, it also invited Jose, but unfortunately, today's Premier League is not the same as before, Paul, as long as the day is dry, the champion can only be Arsenal." ”

Pogba's pupils shrank, Raiola is not a layman, on the contrary, he knows the ball very well and can see people.

His experience at Juventus showed him how much he could be to win the title with a strong group of team-mates. If he continues to stay at Juventus, with the strength of the old lady now, it is not a big problem to achieve a new record of six consecutive Serie A titles, but Juventus's competitiveness in the European arena may still be difficult to surpass the La Liga giants, the Bundesliga giants and the Premier League.

Although Juventus' hierarchy wanted him to stay for another year and said they would bring Gonzalo Higuain, the Serie A Golden Boot, Juventus have been recruiting to bolster their squad in the hope of winning the third European Cup in the club's history.

And the big Paris of Ligue 1 is not bad for money, and has always wanted to recruit him, but Pogba can't look down on Ligue 1, he thinks that when he gets old, it will be almost the same to return to Ligue 1.

And the former club Manchester United, although he once did not pay attention to him, but now he is willing to take a record transfer price to introduce him, which shows the sincerity of the other party, but Manchester United has an important fatal point, this season, there is no Champions League to play, Pogba can take this risk and Manchester United to reach the top four of the Premier League, of course, it is better to win the championship, and play the Champions League next season?

Therefore, Pogba is struggling with which one to choose as his next stop, Italy he doesn't want to stay, this dominant league has lost its challenge, and he actually wants to go to the Premier League the most, because there, there is his desire to conquer.

Perhaps, going to Arsenal is a good choice, and it will be a great achievement to become a teammate in the Golden Boot of this European Cup, and maybe it will be very successful to create an Arsenal dynasty with him, as Minno said.

"Mino, can Arsenal offer a higher price than Manchester United?"

"Of course you can, the current Arsenal is not bad for money, haha."

"As long as it's higher than Manchester United, I'll come. However, I have to be in the main position. ”

"The world's No. 1 transfer price can't play the main team, do you think Arsène is crazy?"

Watching Pogba and Raiola leave, Ben Schiff looked at the hard-working Qiansheng, opened his mouth to say something, and finally turned into a sigh.

At the end of July, a piece of news attracted all the attention of the football world, the Premier League giants Arsenal after Manchester United, the second to make an offer, 130 million euros!

"Crazy, crazy! The transfer market is going crazy! ”

Football experts, scholars, and fans were dizzy by the news, more than 100 million euros!

Just buy a player, when did the euro become so worthless?

Inflation in European football is also rising too fast, but there is no way, whoever calls the giants have more money is capricious.

While the media was reporting and commenting on the news, another piece of news detonated in European football.

Real Madrid sent a fax to Juventus to bid for Pogba for a whopping €135 million.

After Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo, the century-old giants want to dominate the honor of being the first in the transfer market?

Before everyone could digest the news, the news that came out of the back almost stunned everyone.

Manchester United offered 138 million euros, and Arsenal CEO Dunn directly called Juventus CEO Giuseppe Marotta, domineering the number that made the other party frightened: "150 million euros, the final offer, if it doesn't work, cancel it!" ”

PS: Crazy, right? Scared, right? What are you hesitating about, wanting to see Pogba and the protagonist play side by side? Tipping now!!! (To be continued.) )
