Sunday in “Téléfoot”, Benjamin Pavard spoke about his relationship with Didier Deschamps on the French team side.
Before coming into play against Italy on November 17 in the Nations League, Benjamin Pavard had not played with the Blues for seven months. Selected for Euro 2024, the defender did not play a single second during the competition and his last appearance on the field was on June 5, 2024, during a friendly match against Luxembourg (3-0). A long period without coming into play that the Inter Milan man mentioned on Sunday, adding a few words about his relationship with Didier Deschamps.
It's on the microphone of the show “Telefoot” that Benjamin Pavard spoke about these different subjects, first admitting that he had missed the Blues. “Honestly yes, a lot. It's weird watching your friends play on TV. I took the opportunity to recharge my batteries and I think I came back even stronger today. » As for his replacement status during the Euro: “We prefer to play, to be on the field. But we have to stay positive for the life of the group. It's important. I was physically ready if the coach called on me (…). I questioned myself. The best is yet to come I hope. »
Never the slightest problem
Then the former Bayern Munich spoke about his relationship with his coach. “We often talk with the coach. There is a lot of respect between us. But if there is something to tell me, the coach will not hesitate to tell me and help me progress. There really haven't been any problems since my first selection until now. » A way to once again silence rumors about a possible storm after his benching at the start of the 2022 World Cup after the first match he played as a starter.
Now aged twenty-eight, Benjamin Pavard is therefore back in business with the Blues, even if a starting place is no longer necessarily assigned to him. With maturity, the native of Maubeuge adapts to his situation and takes advantage of the opportunities offered to him.
