Pogba: I Warn My Children That I Will Take Them to Guinea, and I'm Proud of My African Roots
The French star Paul Pogba, a player for Monaco, spoke in a media interview about his family roots and the values he was raised with, emphasizing that family has always been the foundation of his life before football.
The French star said: "I always remember where I came from. I belong to a family that was given nothing. We had to work for everything."
He added, "My parents sacrificed everything for me and my siblings. That's why I always say that family comes before football."
He added, "When my children misbehave, I warn them that I will take them to Guinea (their grandparents' homeland) so they can see the true values of life."
He continued: "At home, they always have to finish their plate because we have everything in Europe, whereas in Africa, the situation is different."
He concluded, "I am proud of my African roots. My parents are from Guinea, and this is part of my identity."
