Paul Pogba insists players to find another way to celebrate

In a recent interview with Sky sports, Paul Pogba said, “You find another way, you find another way to celebrate, to be happy”. He was referring to the importance of maintaining social distancing during goal celebrations.

Referees have been instructed to remind players of the importance of social distancing when they are celebrating and while seem difficult to do so it is of paramount importance at this hour.


The UK has already faced an increase in cases due to a new strain of the virus and things are being shut down. Paul Pogba himself had contracted the disease, so did summer signing Alex Telles, but the former came back stronger but that doesn’t mean that it has magically disappeared.

Top managers of the Premier League like Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola have admitted that while it is necessary it is difficult for the players to do that as they have the instinct to celebrate with each other especially due to the rush of scoring a goal.


Many of the top coaches in the Premier League have echoed their concerns that celebrations without social distancing could be a hazard and they would do their best to warn their players against doing something like that.

The Government has kept an open policy on football as many other services in the UK have come to a complete halt. Football is not only important for many people financially but also from an emotional and mental point of view.

While the Premier League has a lot riding on it if the rules of social distancing are not followed properly then the government may be forced into taking strict action and bring things to a standstill but it looks highly unlikely.
