The scene quickly became cult.
After miraculously coming out of a pressing in the position of defender on the restart, Paul Pogba gives a glare at Benjamin Pavard, who left 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 with 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.
