Search amd exclude certain strings

Hi, I have the search function but want to exclude certain strings.

 

Ball= IF (ISBLANK ( SEARCH ( "Messi", Table[Column], 1, BLANK () ) ),
0,
1
)

 

It gives me 1 or 0 depending if Messi is in the string. I want to add exclusion for Ronaldo and Pogba. So if Messi only is in the string it is 1, if "Messi and Ronaldo or Pogba" are it is 0.

 

'Messi is great' the result is 1

'Messi and Ronaldo are great' the result is   0

'Messi and Ronaldo or Pogba are great'the result is 0

        Can you confirm your logic, it is not super clear

         

        give example of your data and expected result.
