Juventus hope that the most representative player like Pogba can set an example for other players, and violations will be punished

Juventus defeated Freiburg 1-0 at home in the Europa League , but Pogba was not selected for the squad because he would be late before the game.


Pogba was dropped from the squad for being late to the Europa League pre-match meeting. This is not the first time a player has been punished for being late at Juventus. Pogba was also suspended internally for being late when he played for Juventus for the first time in 2012. Juventus' coach at the time was Conte.


Calvo, chief football officer of the Juventus club, said that regardless of the size of the problem, Pogba was late. There are rules in this regard, and the internal discipline of the team is very important. They hope that the most iconic player like Pogba can set a good example for other players . But they are not disappointed, the players still work hard. This is a rule set by the coach and the club, and violations will be punished.


According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus signed Pogba last summer, hoping that the player can become a leader and role model for young players in the team. However, Pogba suffered a meniscus injury during a warm-up match in the United States last July and has only played 35 minutes for Juventus so far this season. Although the player joined Juventus for free after ending his contract with Manchester United, his annual salary at Juventus was as high as 8 million euros, plus a floating bonus of 2 million euros. Pogba, as the first salaryman in the team, has not played an important role on and off the court.


This late arrival puts the player's future at Juventus at greater risk. However, "Gazzetta dello Sport" stated that although Pogba's overall evaluation this season can be said to be a failure, Juventus has not yet decided to give up the player. The contract between the two parties will expire in 2026. If a player has not played for at least two years after joining Juventus, he will not be able to enjoy the tax incentives in Italy's "Growth Decree", which will make Juventus pay higher taxes.
