Kylian Mbappe Believes Paul Pogba Doesn't Use Voodoo To Him

JAKARTA — Kylian Mbappe opened his mouth about the issue of Paul Pogba using him. He believes his teammate in the French national team is unlikely to do that.

This witchcraft issue began when Pogba revealed a blackmail case carried out by a gang consisting of his brother Mathias Pogba last month.

In various reports, the group has tried to discredit Pogba by claiming the player paid a high price for a loving shaman to prank Mbappe.

However, Mbappe did not believe what the gang revealed. The striker prefers to trust the explanation given by Pogba.

"I prefer to trust my team-mates. He called me and explained his version of events. He said things against his brother. I trusted my team-mates for the sake of the national team," Mbappe said, quoted by Sportskeeda.

The issue of the spell that Pogba used to trick Mbappe is expected to disturb the French national team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar later this year.

France are the reigning champions of the quadrennial competition having won in Russia four years ago. For that, team harmony is needed if they want to defend their title and win a third title.

"We have a big competition [World Cup] and he already [has] some problems. This is not the time to give him any more problems. We'll see how it goes. I don't mind any of that," Mbappe said.

Pogba is expected to miss Qatar in November. The 29-year-old will undergo surgery on his knee and is expected to make a full recovery in January next year.
