Benjamin Pavard finds that he is “more complete defensively than Hakimi and Arnold”

In an interview with Canal Football Club, Benjamin Pavard regretted the criticisms against him in France while in Germany, the international tricolor is respected.

The right side of the France team, which has just won the League of Nations against Spain, confided his bitterness to be often criticized for his services with the Blues. While Didier Deschamps maintains his confidence in him, the player tries not to stop on words that could hurt.

“I take a step back from the critics in France. I left France young, I haven’t played a lot of Ligue 1 matches so the French public don’t know me. Or they just know me through my strike at the 2018 World Cup, said Benjamin Pavard. That’s where people got interested in me. ”

In this interview with CFC, the Bayern Munich player, whom he joined in July 2019, also explains that he would like to be respected a little more. “I would have liked, because I am French, to be more respected in France,” he emphasizes. But I’m not going to force people to watch Bayern Munich games. The real ones, who know football, know the performances that I have made and that I am doing, said Pavard, defending his record. In the French team, we sometimes also lack automation. “

Confident of his abilities, Benjamin Pavard, who also indicated that he preferred to play central rather than side, also recalled that he was a good defender: “In principle, we ask a defender to defend well. Today, the side is also bringing offensively. Of course, on paper, Pavard may be less sexy than Hakimi or Arnold, but I find that defensively I am more complete. If I was not efficient enough, I will not start and I will not play for the French team. ”
