Téléfoot on TF1, Rio Mavubathe former international midfielder Girondins de Bordeauxspoke following an interview with Benjamin Pavard. The Inter Milan international defender is ready to apply for the French team, regardless of his position.
« If we feel that he opens up the field of possibilities with the French team? It’s certain that he’s a little more open (smile). He is a little more open than before, where we sometimes saw him sulking a little compared to the right-back position. I think he understood that the French team, no matter where you have to play, you go there and you are happy to be there. The fact that he was not called up for these two selections perhaps made him think. There he comes back, he wants to play, to come back to this group. Afterwards, there is competition. There is competition at right-back. There is Clauss, there is Koundé who still won. I think it will be complicated to become a starter again but he has a place to scratch in the group. In the middle, I think it's completely over because it's not really the profile that Didier Deschamps will like and there's a lot of competition. But for me, Benjamin Pavard has a card to play. He is 28 years old and he will perhaps return to this group. »
