"It was tough. I was alone in another country. I really wasn't doing well. In my head, I wasn't good. At the beginning, you tell yourself it's nothing, it will pass, but it doesn't."
"I woke up, I lost appetite. - I tried to distract myself, cook, watch a TV series. But I couldn't watch Netflix for more than two minutes. I don't like the word depressed, but it was the case. I tried to hide it in front of the others. Today I'm feeling much better."
Pavard also believes he's best used in center defense at Bayern: "What I want is to play center-back. A decision will be made in the near future, but today I'm not asking the question. In the national team, the coach can play me in any position, I'll do it."
