Benjamin Pavard experienced a nightmare last week. After his involvement in Sporting's two goals (1-2) on Wednesday in the Champions League, the French central defender did it again by causing a penalty and conceding a goal against his camp in Lens (1-2) on Saturday in Ligue 1.
The 2018 world champion did not fail to make his mea culpa to the Marseille supporters. Enough to make Jérôme Rothen react, who saw it as nothing more than a simple “com” move from the former Bavarian.
“No one is going to let go”
But, even in the turmoil, Pavard can still count on support in Marseille. First that of his football director,
Mehdi Benatiathen that of his teammates, like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. “ It's his way of doing things, he's someone very whole. We are with him », declared the Gabonese at a press conference.
PEA delivered his recipe to re-motivate his sidekick: “ In these situations, I like to tease people a little, it's a good idea to make them smile. It's part of football but I have confidence in him. We work, we are with him and no one is going to let him go “.
