After the match against Atalanta, Juventus director Beppe Marotta was asked about Paul Pogba's recent comments where the French midfielder described playing at Juventus as "being on holiday. I have this club in my heart, Manchester is my home. When I left to join Juventus I knew I would return sooner or later. Like when you go on holiday and return. Since then nothing changed, everything is like before"
Marotta didn't take these remarks particularly well but had a sense of humor about them:"We can also give the benefit of the doubt with what Pogba said- he told Tuttosport- if it was a holiday at least it was an educational one, since he then got to wear a prestigious jersey like Manchester United's and became a significant figure on transfer market. The player had qualities and they were improved by the bianconeri. Let's have a sense of humor about it"
