A year and a half after a particularly painful World Cup in Qatar due to his downgrade after a failed first match against Australia, Benjamin Pavard experienced an equally complicated Euro. Like many other players, the Inter Milan defender, who only wants to play in the middle, had no say in the matter.
And the situation of the former Munich player in the French team has deteriorated a little more since the start of the school year since Didier Deschamps did not even call him up for the last two rallies. “ I always respect the coach’s choices, he’s the boss. But it sure feels weird because since November 2017 I had almost been called up to the French team every time, except because of an injury and covid, he confided on this subject in an interview with GQ. I had the opportunity to recharge my batteries and go away for a few days with my fiancée, so I had a good time during this period. »
Nothing more beautiful than the Blues for Pavard
However, if some spoke of desires for international retirement in the wake of the Euro, the native of Maubeuge has not given up on the Blues. “But obviously I’m not giving up and I’m continuing to work so that the coach calls on me again. It’s really him who passed the winning on to me and I still want to win alongside him,” saidhe thus assured.
“I always aspire to play for the French team. There is nothing more beautiful than representing your country and singing the Marseillaise before a match,
he added. I’ve had emotions since I was little watching the Blues on TV and it still gives me chills today. I would prefer to be in the French team rather than having a rest, but it still feels good mentally and physically to recharge your batteries with those close to you. »
