He stated that, "I'm not a natural right-back, I'm more of a center-back. But, I'm learning. The only critics I listen to are those of my coaches and people close to me. I ignore the rest."
Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea, PSG and Manchester United are the teams that tried to sign Pavard this summer, but in the end the 26-year-old decided to stay:
"I asked myself questions in the summer. I had calls from different clubs. Maybe one day I'll go to one of these clubs. But I spoke to Julian Nagelsmann, who made it clear to me that I was in his plans."
Pavard added that he's in a better place this year: "Last season, I had a complicated period at a personal level. I wasn't happy, I couldn't play football well because things weren't going well in my life. Now all of that is behind me."
