For a first, it's a hell of a first! Arrived on loan from Inter Milan at the end of the summer transfer window, Benjamin Pavard was established this Friday by Roberto de Zerbi on the occasion of the reception of FC Lorient (4th day of Ligue 1). The international defender did not wait more than twenty minutes to highlight himself with a goal.
After the opening of the Mason Greenwood penalty score (1-0, 13th), it was the former LOSC who came out of his box. On a corner struck by his English teammate, Pavard arose to place a winning head (2-0, 20th). Strangely alone in a Breton defense in great difficulty, he did not miss the opportunity to score the very first goal of his career in Ligue 1.
Suffice to say that this goal has still set fire a little more in the stands of a molten velodrome stadium. And for Roberto de Zerbi, it is for the moment a validation of his choice to launch Benjamin Pavard without delay.
OM Benjamin Pavard straightens the bar
After three days, OM had two defeats and a victory on the clock. For the time being, the southern club is heading straight towards a reset of the meters with this second success which is looming.
With a team over 50% compared to that aligned with the lawn of Lyon before the international break, OM experiences a winning moult. For now.
