“It’s not really a surprise“, said, Monday, October 31 on franceinfo, consultant and former player Jérôme Alonzo on the announcement of midfielder Paul Pogba’s withdrawal from the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, which begins on November 20.
“The problem is rather to know what the plans B are“, according to the consultant, who recalls that the midfield pair of the French team world champion in 2018, Paul Pogba and Ngolo Kanté, will be absent. “From now on, we must find the youth. We have to revive Adrien Rabiot, we have to find solutions.“

“We obviously all think of Aurélien Tchouaméni, who is experiencing a lightning and magnificent adaptation to Real Madrid, we think of the return to the high level of Adrien Rabiot, as well as of Youssouf Fofana“. Jérôme Alonzo assures that “solutions, there are” but said to worry about a lack of experience: “When we talk about very high level experience, for the moment, the only valid player who has it is Adrien Rabiot“.
