Zidane brings new energy to French team

Zinédine Zidane has brought a new breath to the French team since taking office last month. His arrival has generated many hopes among players who had recently been forgotten on the international scene.

Pavard's return to prominence

Once a key player under Didier Deschamps, Benjamin Pavard was gradually relegated to the background and then abandoned. Now, he can afford to once again consider the elite of football, thanks to his recent performances.

Pavard's performance at Inter Milan

Back at Inter this season after a one-year loan that yielded no results at Marseille, the 30-year-old versatile defender remains on a full match and successful performance with the Nerazzurri in Serie A this weekend against Parma (3-0 Milanese victory). This marks the end of a short period of difficulty, which necessarily gives wings to the player.

Pavard on his future with France

Asked after this last match about his potential future with the French team, the player who has 55 caps (five goals and three assists) in his record says he hopes: "It's sure that the French team is the French team, I was there for a while. Now, it's true that I wasn't called up, even for the last World Cup. It will pass through my club performances. I have to play and, when I play, I have to be good."

Pavard's current focus

For now, Benjamin Pavard is enjoying his return to the top level. "At least, I'm very happy to be here at Inter, in this big club. And then, what comes next, we'll see" he insists. "But the French team, necessarily, is in a corner of my mind. I don't put myself under particular pressure, it will pass through my performances." The call to Zinédine Zidane is nonetheless made.
