Deschamps fears possible “shocks” in Pogba-Mbappe’s relationship
Didier Deschamps is particularly concerned about the Paul Pogba case and Kylian Mbappe’s ‘implication’ because if the allegations are true, the France national team will face a new ‘Benzema-Valbuena’ case.
The Paul Pogba case also involved Kylian Mbappe, with the Juventus midfielder’s brother accusing him of hiring a magician to cast a spell on the Paris Saint-Germain superstar.
French media reports that Mbappe and his entourage are watching the case and awaiting the possible existence of “tangible evidence” that would prove Matias Pogba’s allegation against his brother. According to Equipe, the specific case also worried Didier Deschamps.
Paul Pogba underwent knee surgery in July and is in contention for the World Cup. When he is finally ready for the tournament and on condition that the specific categories apply, he will have to find a solution in the relations between the two footballers who are regular members of the national team.
The ‘Tricolor’ has suffered in the past from the Benzema-Valbuena case, when the two footballers stayed out of calls for some time and the Real Madrid forward returned to the France national team after several years.

Goalkeeper of the Ukrainian national team Anatoly Trubin I remembered the match against France (0:4) when Sergei Rebrov released the semi-reserve squad.
“It was the coach’s choice. It is always the coach who decides whether the match will be sacrificed or not. If we talk about the challenge itself, we all understand the strength of France. I understood that there could be a lot of shots, there could be a lot of chances, and I was ready for it. When the opponent is always with the ball, constantly attacking, you are always in the game: you play in sections, you react, you constantly feel the rhythm.
For me personally, it’s even easier than when your team is attacking most of the time and you’re standing idle and suddenly there’s a moment where you have to be ready,” Trubin said.

World Cup
INFANTINO: “If there was no FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world”
FIFA President Gianni Infantino He commented on World Cup ticket prices, saying they reflected “absolutely insane” demand for next summer’s tournament:
“We have six to seven million tickets and in 15 days we received 150 million ticket requests. So every day we have 10 million requests. This shows how strong the World Cup is.”
FIFA has sold just 44 million tickets in almost 100 years of the World Cup. So we were able to sell tickets for the 300th anniversary of the World Cup in two weeks. Just imagine. “This is absolutely crazy.”
Infantino also noted that funds from ticket sales would be reinvested into world football, but did not specify a specific amount:
“The important thing is that the revenue from this goes back into football around the world. If it weren’t for FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world. Football exists thanks to the revenues we get from the World Cup, and we reinvest that into football around the world.”
Previously, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on FIFA to further reduce 2026 World Cup ticket prices.
