brother

to being banned from football for 4 years for a doping test this is the story of Paul Poppa's downfall and there is only one place we can start at Manchester United in the first place , I always love United to be honest POA joined United's Youth Academy in 2009 from French club LA Har and his talent quickly became popular.

Mind you, he won the FA Youth Cup in the 20101 season and it looked like a star was born and with the retirement of Paul Skull in 2011, there was a chance until he wasn't. Paul Skulls came out of retirement in 2012 and when Seratic started with Phil Jones. and Fabio in midfield against Blackburn POA began to think disdain for limited playing time elsewhere and, seeking more opportunities, refused to sign a new contract and when his contract expired in 2012 he left the club in a free transfer and this is where your story is really told. POA joined Juventus in the summer of 2012 on a free transfer from United and wasted no time making an impact.

His physicality, his technical ability and his vision stood out. He quickly established himself in Italy during his debut season. Popp's performance was crucial in helping Juventus secure. their second consecutive title in Sera under Antonio's contact and during the following seasons POA continued to play a key role as Juventus asserted their dominance in San achieving multiple scudettos in midfield with Andrea PLO and Ur Vidal became one of the most formidable in European football and their Inclusion in the UEFA Team of the Year and constant presence in the French team elevated their status in the vee. He had become one of the best midfielders in the world and was coveted with a big transfer, but what happened next not many expected in August 2016.

Poba made a long-awaited return to Manchester United completing a record transfer from the Vee. The transfer fee of 89 million made him the most expensive footballer in the world at the time. Po's return generated immense excitement and in his first season back, POA played a pivotal role. role in United winning the League Cup and Europa League under Jose Mourinho, these successes marked a positive start to his second spell with the club, however, despite the moments of brilliance, pba's performance was criticized by his inconsistency, he and his agent, Minor Riola, were criticized for stirring the pot, but it was his relationship with José Mourinho that caused the most friction.

The fallout between Poba and Mourinho revolved mainly around tactical disagreements. Mourinho often deployed Poba in a more defensive midfield role, limiting his attacking freedom, which clashed with Po's natural style. Tensions escalated with both sides. Making public comments that hinted at a strained relationship, Mourinho questioned Poppa's commitment and consistency, while Poba hinted at a desire for more attack. Freedom found himself benched or replaced by Marinho and several key matches fueled speculation of a breakup. Reports then emerge from a training camp. incident in which poba and Mourinho had a heated exchange the details were not fully revealed but it only added to the fracture of the relationship between poba and Mourinho the culmination of all this José Mourinho left as United manager in 2018 big big news from breaking news Manchester United has fired José Mourinho as he had survived Mourinho, but that was far from his most important moment in 2018 because it was a year that was a defining moment for him as a footballer with France in the World Cup in Russia.

Poba played a fundamental role: his combination of physical ability, technique and vision. He made him an essential component of that team's midfield throughout the tournament. He showed consistency in those performances, ability to control the pace of the game, distribute, contribute defensively and not only that, but he also posed a threat going forward. He became a complete midfielder in that tournament. and he demonstrated those leadership qualities in the final against Croatia. He played a key role and his overall performance in the tournament earned him widespread praise and recognition. Winning the World Cup with France was the greatest achievement for Paul Poba and he always will be. a moment of redemption for the midfielder who had faced so much criticism in his previous challenges.

Poppa's influence on the French team cannot be underestimated, but could he return that form to United? That was the question after Mourinho was fired. Poer experienced a massive resurgence in form and became one of the most informed players in Europe. The solar system allowed POA to have more freedom in attack and in that season he scored 13 goals and nine assists, which was his best result in the United shirt now that he plays. a team that has runners, you were talking about the runners, who is a midfielder who gives you options, you know that there is variation in the play, he is playing to the left of a diamond, he is playing in front of two, he gets into the area in moments I saw He under Mourinho was restricted, he took on a leadership role within the team, he formed a partnership with Bruno, he was at his best but injuries slowed progress and then questions arose again about his future, questions which he and his agent Minola allowed to Fester.

An angry United fan there was so much distraction off the pitch and instead of continuing that resurgent form, Po's influence at United waned and he slowly walked towards an exit as a free agent for the second time joining Juventus again, however, life off the field was about to take an unexpected turn the family The consequences and blackmail The scandal involving poba is a complex and deeply personal issue that shook the world of football The saga began when Paul pba's older

brother

, Matías, and a group of childhood friends demanded 13 million from Poba, the group claimed that they had protected him for many years and felt abandoned after PBA's rise to international fame.

The situation escalated to the point where Poba was reportedly threatened by men armed with assault rifles in a Paris apartment, forcing him to pay the group €100,000 in an attempt to appease. This extortion attempt and the participation of the pba's brother, Matías, who was later arrested, were part of a broader investigation into the extortion attempt organized by EXT with charges that expand to Poss, extortion with a weapon, kidnapping. Matas poba posted several videos on social media, in one of which he stated that if you are watching this video it will be because my brother poba has found a way to silence me by criticizing the lifestyle of Paul pba and his entourage, the parish prosecutor's office confirmed an investigation into the matter which included the aforementioned charges, Poba detailed these threats and intimidation in meetings with investigators stating that the demands for money dated back to March, despite paying part of the sum demanded, the blacks were not satisfied, which led to further clashes, in particular Poba recognized his brother Mathas among the men during one of these confrontations, the case was a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities that come with fame and success and for Poba the downward slope only brought Pace together. on July 11, 2022. vee announced Poppa's return on a 4-year contract just a couple of weeks after he suffered a serious knee injury and was sidelined.

For 2 months, that injury required surgery and ruled him out of the 2022 World Cup and then on September 11, 2023, Poba was provisionally suspended from the game due to a suspected failed drug test, as metabolic levels were found of testosterone in your test results after a match. Against UD on 20 August, the drug test was confirmed again on 6 October after another sample was also found to have the same drugs present and on 29 February 2024, Poba was suspended from football for four years. Paul Pogba was suspended. from playing football for four years according to SC in Italy POA released a statement after the ban promising to appeal the decision saying he is shocked and heartbroken by the decision but as things stand Paul POA may never ban again a Bard as a professional footballer from the dazzling heights of lifting the world cup with France to a

career

that, in Paul Poppa's own words, led him to a feeling of depression after the consequences, injuries, blackmail, scandals and a series of other things.

Po's career has been plagued with as much controversy off the field as success on it, if not more, and Poba could go down as one of the greatest footballers the game would ever see.
