The season of Benjamin Pavard took another turn since the beginning of 2025. Unused by Didier Deschamps during Euro 2024 in Germany and then downright dismissed during the two following gatherings of the French team, the 2018 world champion lived sporting months sportingly speaking. His coach Simone Inzaghi suddenly competition with the young German stopper Yann Bisseck, who shone in December during the absence of his French teammate on muscle injury.
It was then around Pavard to take advantage of a Bisseck injury to find the starting eleven at the end of January, by chaining the good performances both in Serie A as in the Champions League (against the Sparta Prague then AS Monaco in the league phase, the Nerazzurri being directly qualified for the 8th finals). The former Bayern player, recruited 30 million euros in 2023, made an axial right of great reliability in the 3-5-2 of the champions of Italy. However, it is not unanimous, since the inserted followers still hope for the return of Bisseck in the eleven.
Pavard in danger
Now a leader in the rankings, the Inter dispute a shock at the top on Saturday (6 p.m.) in the lair of Napoli, his runner -up, who has a less point (after having chained four results without victory). The Italian press estimates that Pavard will give way to Bisseck, a colossus of 1.96 m, to accompany Francesco Acerbi and Alessandro Bastoni during the confrontation with the Partenopei of Romelu Lukaku. “Bisseck's chances are increasing and it could start. Pavard would be on the bench and could be used as a joker, as a central or right side defender during the match ”thus indicates Skyspor.
Simone Inzaghi himself entrusted to a press conference, on the eve of the trip to Campania, that her team could switch to 4-4-2. “There could be a change of system, we have already done it during the match against Lazio, I also tried Correa and Futtesi on one side and I can make Pavard or Bisck play”launched the former striker, as if to blur the tracks. If the Inter evolves with a defense of 4 against the Neapolitans, Pavard will make a perfect right side. In any case, Pavard must avoid being too often on the sidelines if he wants to be called by his coach in two weeks.
