Scorer in Dublin, the Bayern player looks back on the victory of the Blues against Ireland on Monday evening (0-1).
Benjamin Pavard (right back of the France team, after the 1-0 victory in Ireland ) : «The goal ? I’m anticipating pretty well, I’m taking it well, so much the better for me and the team! Want revenge? No… It’s true that the World Cup didn’t go as I would have liked, but I was there for the team and I was very happy after each victory. I am here for the collective. If the coach didn’t call on me, it’s because he thought there was someone better than me. There, I had the opportunity to play, it worked for me, and I scored more. The role of a defender is above all to defend well. But it worked for me, I’m happy. I hope it will continue like this.
The man of the match, Pavard or Maignan? Mike’s save allows us to stay in the game and get a clean sheet, so I’m going to say Mike (smile).(on the L’Équipe channel)
