French national team player Paul Pogba responded to reports issued Monday morning that he had decided to withdraw internationally, in the context of President Emmanuel Macron’s statements on “Islamic terrorism.”
And there was widespread news in the last hours of Paul Pogba’s retirement from international football, protesting the statements of President Emmanuel Macron.
Macron vowed to bolster his campaign against what he described as “radical Islam,” following the murder of history professor Samuel Batty by an extremist after he published cartoons about the Prophet Muhammad.
The British newspaper “The Sun” quoted one of the Middle Eastern sources as saying that Pogba, the most expensive player in Manchester United history, decided to retire internationally with the French team, not only because of his extreme indignation at Macron’s provocations. and his government, but also because he felt insulted, especially after Honoring the late French teacher by awarding him the Legion of Honor, the country’s highest civil honor, in recognition of the fact that he sacrificed his life trying to explain the importance of freedom expression.
Pogba said in an explanation through his official account on the “Instagram” application: “The Sun does it again, 100 percent unfounded news about me, about things I did not say or did not think. I am astonished, angry, shocked and somehow frustrated. ” The media that use my name to make headlines amid current history in France and put the name of the French team and my religion in a melting pot too. I am against all forms of violence and terrorism, and unfortunately some journalists do not act responsibly when writing news and violate freedom of the press by not ensuring the accuracy of what they write. And they create rumors that they don’t know how it will affect people’s lives and my life. I will take all legal action against publishers and those who have helped spread this false news. In a quick hello to “The Sun”, who generally doesn’t care much: Maybe some of you went to school and remember How did your teacher say, always check your sources, don’t write without checking. But hey, it looks like you did it again, and on a very dangerous subject this time, what a shame!
It is noteworthy that Paul Pogba, 27, born in France to Guinean parents, embraces Islam and had previously posted several photos while traveling to Mecca and Medina to perform the Hajj and Umrah rituals.
Pogba has defended the colors of the French team in 72 international matches so far, and won the 2018 World Cup in Russia, with the “roosters” at the expense of Croatia.
