Paul Pogba, the charismatic and often controversial French midfielder, has once again found himself in the spotlight, but this time, it's not about his on-field performances. In a candid interview with Sky Sports , Pogba addressed the swirling rumors about his supposed retirement from football.

Setting the Record Straight: I Was Misquoted and Misunderstood

"Of course, if you've seen an interview of me saying that I'm retiring and I'm not a footballer, then that's wrong," Pogba stated emphatically. "Because I'm still here, I'm still positive, there's still a chance to fight this injustice, which is what I believe it is."

Pogba's frustration was palpable as he spoke about how his words were taken out of context. He urged fans and media alike to watch the entire interview instead of jumping to conclusions based on snippets.

Staying Positive

Throughout the interview, Pogba maintained a positive outlook. "Things are hopefully going to get better, I'm always positive, but let's see," he said. This optimism is a cornerstone of Pogba's persona, both on and off the pitch. Despite the challenges he faces, he remains hopeful and determined to overcome them.

Still in the Game: He Ain't Done Yet!

The heart of Pogba's message was clear: he's not done with football. "Therefore, I have never said I am finished, that Paul Pogba doesn't exist anymore, because Pogba is still here, today I am here, I am Pogba. You have never seen me say that I am finished," he insisted.

Pogba clarified that his comments were about life and external matters, not his football career. "On that comment, I wasn't talking about football, I was talking about life and things outside of the game, external things," he explained.

Committed to Football: A Fighter's Spirit

Despite the speculation and controversy, Pogba's commitment to football remains unwavering. "But I still feel like a footballer, I'm still training," he affirmed. This statement should put to rest any doubts about his dedication to the sport.

Conclusion
