In Clairefontaine,

Do you have a problem putting out a controversy?

Do like the French team, call the firefighter on duty Paul Pogba to the rescue.

Invited to appear in front of the press at the Chateau de Clairefontaine, five days before the first match of the Blues against Germany, the Mancunian midfielder knew well that, sooner or later, a question about the supposed Giroud-Mbappé muddle after the match against Bulgaria would eventually arrive on the mat.

What was not lacking when one of our colleagues asked him about possible "tensions in the group" since the exit of the Chelsea striker on Tuesday night.

The response of the Pickaxe is to be shown in all schools of rhetoric.

First step: directly demining the land by making the audience laugh.

“Tensions, what tensions?

No, the only tensions that we have here are on the back, on the legs, but we have physiotherapists to massage us and take that away from us, slipped the former Turinese without ever departing from the little smile of the one who knows that 'he just hit the mark.

But I, who am

inside

, can tell you: no, there is nothing, there is always a very good atmosphere between everyone.

"

Smiles, music and massages

We thought that after drowning the dolphin, Pogba would stop there, but no, the idea was not to make us look elsewhere. The proof: “I suppose you are talking about tensions between Olivier and Kyky. In any case, there is nothing in front of me. Maybe because I'm the police here

(Laughs) 

! What was said [in

L'Equipe

] may have been poorly transmitted, ”he assured before going a little more into the subject and evoking the supposed snobbery of Mbappé towards Giroud.

“You all know Kylian, he's an amazing player, he throws dice, he's selfless,” Pogba continued.

Even if I tell him it would be good if he defended a little more to help us

(Laughs)

.

So no, there is nothing, I don't feel any tension, nothing that can be said outside.

It's just a smile, music and massages!

".

A pro, we tell you.
