Benjamin Pavard is warned: if he should play in central defense at Inter Milan, his future with the Blues goes through the right lane.
Benjamin Pavard will have had to wait for the very last straight line of the summer transfer window to win his case. After four seasons at Bayern Munich, the native of Maubeuge has indeed left the Bavarian giant, where he still had a year of contract, to join Inter Milan. A departure that leaves regrets in the Bavarian camp. “He leaves a gaping hole”still regretted Thomas Tuchel this weekend.
At Inter Milan, Benjamin Pavard has the assurance of settling in central defense. Consequence of the three-man defense with which Simone Inzaghi’s men evolve. But for Didier Deschamps, this does not change the situation of the former Lille player in the France team: it is in the right lane that the new Nerazzurri defender will continue to evolve. “Given how Inter plays regularly, in a three-man defense, it is supposed to be more straight axis, thus entrusted the tricolor coach. He knows what I expect of him. Afterwards, there is also significant competition at Inter. I hope everything goes well for him.” he said Monday at a press conference.
This remark also applies to Jules Koundé, the other solution of Didier Deschamps on the right flank of the defense of the Blues and who shines in central defense with FC Barcelona. “Ben knows it, as Jules also knows it, when I call them in selection, it’s to play as a right side”, he specified.
Benjamin Pavard like Jules Koundé take advantage of the shortage of professional right-backs among French players. Only Nordi Mukiele and especially Pierre Kalulu seem able to shake up the established hierarchy.
