The French Under-20 football team emerged victorious in an incredible final against Uruguay, and the captain, Paul Pogba, expressed his overwhelming joy and the ambition of the team to continue making history. Pogba, who has faced criticism at times, emphasized the exceptional nature of their achievement and the fulfillment of a dream:
“There are no words. We are happy, we are happy, we are proud. We had a very, very good match. It’s something exceptional. A dream comes true. The goal is reached. It was hard, we had to have the mental resources, but now we are champions. We will remain in history; future generations will talk about us. It’s really special. I was expected, I was criticized, but the only answer I can give is on the ground.”
Pogba also shared that Didier Deschamps, a former Juventus player and World Cup-winning captain, congratulated the team and expressed pride in their achievement. Pogba reflected on the significance of this accomplishment, noting, “It’s weird because being a Juve player, captain, world champion, it’s beautiful all the same, it makes a little relationship, a little example.”
