Already world champion with the French team, quadruple German champion and winner of the Champions League with Bayern, as well as Italian champion last year, Benjamin Pavard intends to garnish his record more at the end of the season with Inter. The Nerazzurri have taken a little advance on the Napoli at the top of the Serie A In recent weeks, face Bayern in the quarterfinals of the Champions League and find AC Milan on April 23 for the semi-final return of the Italian Cup. What push supporters to dream of a hat -trick.
“In football, everything is possible, even the hat -trick”launched Pavard at the Gazzetta dello Sportwhile Inter will also compete in the Club World Cup from June 17, with Monterrey, Urawa and River Plate in opponents in group E.
In the meantime, Pavard, who has just celebrated his 29th birthday, is delighted to find “Many friends” in Munich, in particular compatriots, “From (Kingsley) Coman to (Dayot) Upamecano via Raphael Guerreiro (Franco-Portuguese, editor's note)”as well as his “Team of the French team (Michael) olise”. The defender estimates that the team who will defend “The best will win”, especially in front of this Bayern who attacks with
“Quality on the wings”quoting Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sané.
Pavard sounds the alarm tread
Despite everything, Pavard is unhappy with the absolutely infernal pace imposed on players from major European teams, especially with the new formula of the Champions League (two more games in the group phase and possible dams before the round of 16). “It is impossible to be always 100 % with these hellish rhythms. Physical and mental fatigue is felt, we are not machines. In the future, we have to talk about it seriously because, in the long term, it is not tenable ”launches the French international (who, fortunately, does not play much under the orders of Didier Deschamps).
The player trained at LOSC has chained 50 matches in club and selection when he played in Bayern, but injuries stop him regularly since his arrival in Lombardy. Last season, he played 32 games in all competitions with Inter and five games with the French team (without playing the slightest minute at Euro 2024 in Germany). This year, it is 32 matches with the Nerazzurri despite an absence of a month and a half at the beginning of winter.
