“Do you know what Mino and mine’s secret is? That we have always had a great time.” Rafaela Pimenta is told across the board in an interview with All Sportstarting from a memory of the late Raiola: “It was great to work with him.”
POGBA – Great attention to Paul Pogbawhich sees the end of a nightmare after the injury and personal events. Pimenta begins precisely from issues related to friends and relatives: “When Paul finally decided to get help, he improved the situation and understood that there was a solution. It is in the hands of the lawyers. Paul has now done everything he had to do. . Yes, maybe he could have told me before but I understand. Because it is not easy to talk about these things and you often try to solve for yourself, because you are ashamed, because you are afraid. solution. It happens much more often than you imagine and in fact with Paul we thought of a project: to develop a platform of dialogue and support for the mental health of a footballer, anonymously to give advice, because footballers are not always able to overcome certain problems “.
BEYOND THE ACCIDENT – “How are you? He’s enthusiastic. Paul’s superpower is to overcome difficulties with incredible strength and great positivity. There was a moment, a few weeks ago, when he said to me: ‘Rafaela, that’s enough. I don’t want to think about anything anymore, I focus on my knee and on recovery, because I want to go back to playing. ‘ the world and focus on one goal. ”
THE RETURN TO JUVE – “It all happened in April, when Arrivabene and Nedved came to Monte-Carlo to see the tennis Masters 1000. They passed here in the office, we chatted for a while and I said to them: why don’t you play Pogba? they said: “Sure! For us it can be done tomorrow, would he come?” And I replied: “Let’s call him.” And so it went … What did Paul say? He was happy. He cares about Juve. other hypotheses at stake, but when he heard the word Juve he immediately put them aside. He loves this club and loves Italy. This is because Juventus has given him wonderful moments and the greatest happiness. Then you know, the player will remain always linked to the club where he makes the leap from unknown to great player, for Paul Juventus means a lot. Since he left Juventus he has always watched Juventus games and suffered and rejoiced for them. I have never heard Paul speak ill of Juventus, except for two things: when he was there they went to r I went to a hotel (not the current one, but one in Leinì, ed) and he complained a lot about the size of the bed: too short. He always said to me: “My feet come out!”. The other thing was pasta with tomato sauce: “Rafaela, there is always pasta with tomato”. And I replied: “You are in Italy! What do you want to eat? Rise and beans?”. But we joked a lot about it and this summer he was almost obsessive. He couldn’t wait to close the deal. He kept asking me: when am I going to Juve? When do I go to Juve? He was crazy. Weeks gone by like this … and then it comes and gets hurt. An immense displeasure “.
THE DECISION NOT TO OPERATE – “Juventus were very correct in giving him the freedom to decide, because the knee is his. Now, he is not a doctor and neither am I. We have heard many specialists, most of them suggested the operation, some they had hypothesized a conservative therapy. Obviously when you want to avoid the operation you are selective in listening and you tend to listen to those who say: conservative therapy … you tried and it went wrong Why didn’t you want the surgery? Because he was convinced that with conservative therapy he would be back sooner. And he had the goal of returning as soon as possible to put himself at the service of the team. Luckily it’s over now. He will soon be back on the pitch for his Juve“.
DONNARUMMA – “Will he go back to Italy? I know that things are going well in Paris and Gigio is in a great way, but nobody knows the future”.
