The scene quickly became cult. After miraculously coming out of a pressing in the position of a defender on the restart, Paul Pogba glares at Benjamin Pavard, who went to hide behind an opponent instead of bringing a solution to the feet of his midfielder. ” Come come ! », Then shouts the Pickaxe, mad with rage. It was during France-Spain, in the final of the League of Nations. But all this is now history, promises the right side in an interview
at Canal +.
“I watched the action several times, we talked about it afterwards with Paul, he apologized for reacting like that, Pavard explained on Canal +. When I watch the action, OK, I’m not moving well enough, I’m not at a standstill either, and there could have been other player movements as well. Everyone was arrested. We had an explanation, I absolutely don’t blame him, we talked about it after the match, everything is settled. “
Central, not lateral
Good excuse, or not, Benjamin Pavard then recalled that he was originally a central defender. “This is where I feel most comfortable, where I take the most pleasure. This is where I find myself the best. I think we see more of my qualities in this position than on the right side. »Deschamps and Nagelsmann will appreciate it.
