From Tchouameni to Thuram junior, from mastery of the scene to strength: the new role of the “little brothers” of the Octopus
When Pogba – like in a dystopian film: Pogback, oh yes – rejuvenates by going back in time and embracing Juve again, we are here to ask ourselves – six years after his farewell to Italy – who they are and what happened to the new Pogba, without prejudice to the premise that the French midfielder (better: all-midfielder) has really revolutionized the role by imposing a model of physical strength combined with lightness, of soft movements that know how to be ferocious, of short play and long play, of struggle and government, of tasks revisited within the same task: mezzala, median, director as had never been seen before. An oak planted in the middle of the field, which he embroiders with his feet and has a complete view of the world. 190 centimeters in height, long legs, the ability to free oneself in tight spaces (hence: the Octopus), ease in shooting from a distance: these are the characteristics of the new Pogba. But that’s not enough. Let’s think about it: from Gravenberch to Tchouameni, Paul’s little brothers and also the most popular names when it comes to players cut out on the side of Paul, the absolute mastery of the scene impresses, the ability to be “dominant”. One, ten, one hundred Pogba; one, ten, a hundred different ways of being the same thing.
