Pavard mentioned the reason for leaving Bayern Munich through Italian media outlet Gazzetta dello Sport on the 14th (local time). Pavard successfully transferred from Bayern Munich to Inter Milan just before the transfer window closed last August. Pavard, who played for Bayern Munich for four seasons and won 11 trophies, including four Bundesliga titles, the UEFA Champions League, and the FIFA Club World Cup, continued his career at Inter Milan. I have to go.
“I always said I wanted to play as a center back for the club,” Pavard said, indicating that Bayern Munich did not meet his demands. Pavard has mainly played as a right-side defender for Bayern Munich
Pavard, who left the German Bundesliga to continue his career in Italy's Serie A, also expressed satisfaction with the support of fans, saying, "The fans are also important. I love the passion of the fans and I found what I was looking for at Inter Milan."
On joining Inter Milan, Pavard said, "Inter Milan is a winning club. It is a club that has many trophies. I play football to win and that is why I decided to move to Inter Milan. While playing for Bayern Munich and the French national team, "I have accumulated a lot of winning experience. I will do my best. I want to win the Scudetto with Inter Milan. I will do my best to win as many titles as possible," he said, expressing his motivation.
Inter Milan, where Pavard is active as one of the three back three resources, is in second place in Serie A this season with a record of 6 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss (19 points). Inter Milan has conceded only 5 goals in 8 Serie A games this season, recording the lowest number of goals in the league.
Bayern Munich is experiencing a lack of center backs this season after the departure of Pavard, who wanted to play as a center back. Bayern Munich has three center backs this season: Kim Min-jae, De Lied, and Upamecano, and De Lid has been missing the game since suffering a knee injury last month. It is predicted that Upamecano will not be able to play until next month's international break due to a thigh muscle injury. In Bayern Munich's first leg of the DFB Pokal against Munster held last month, Kim Min-jae, De Ligt, and Upamecano all suffered major or minor injuries, so midfielder Goretzka and side defender Mazrawi played as center backs.
Bayern Munich will have to play Bundesliga matches and UEFA Champions League matches every 3-4 days after the international break in October. Bayern Munich, which is suffering from a lack of center backs, is in a situation where it is inevitable to overwork Kim Min-jae. Regarding the expected forced march at Bayern Munich, Kim Min-jae said, "There is no player who is not having a hard time. Everyone is having a hard time," and added, "I played a lot of games in Naples last season. I will take good care of my body and perform without injury." He expressed his determination.
