Benjamin Pavard, an underrated defender in France if we are to believe Daniel Riolo, who praises the qualities of the Inter defender.
Benjamin Pavard is in the collective memory of a masterful volley fired against Argentina in the round of 16 of the 2018 World Cup. It is also a tumultuous story among the Blues of Didier Deschamps, where we expect him to the qualities of a full-back that he is not fundamentally, he who feels clearly more comfortable in a central role.
At Inter, the person concerned has found the right balance this season. A defector from Bayern this summer to everyone’s surprise, the native of Maubeuge has had a successful first exercise in Italy – witness his major performance Tuesday evening against Atlético de Madrid, in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League. A performance that amazed more than one.
“A guy who is much too underestimated”
“ Pavard is still a much underestimated guy. In France, he is far too underestimatedinsists the critic Daniel Riolo, on the RMC antenna. The guy, he’s at Bayern, everyone thinks he’s a loser; he is a starter, he wins the Champions League, he is world champion, he is there… He has certainly lost his place a little – and that deserves to be discussed – but he is going to Inter – in a defense with three like that he’s really comfortable – and he’s very good! »
Dithyrambic, the polemicist journalist adds: “ Is there a player as strong as Pavard at PSG? No, I do not think so. Not in this team… Today, he’s a great defender, it’s really good what he does. » A nice rebound in short in a career which still has a future as the former Lille player will celebrate his 28th birthday in a month.
