Ex Bayern Munich Star Thanks Simone Inzaghi For Time At Inter Milan – ‘But You Come & Go In Football, Chivu Is Working Well’

Defender Benjamin Pavard admitted that “I joined Inter partly thanks to [Inzaghi].”

“Because I really liked the kind of football he had us playing.”

“I thank him because he made me grow as a player,” Pavard said of his former coach. “But that’s how football is – you come and go.”

“Inzaghi is a great player,” added the former Bayern Munich defender. “I wish him the best on his new adventure.”

Then, Pavard added that “Chivu is great on a personal level.”

“He talks to everyone,” the 29-year-old said of his new Nerazzurri coach.

Pavard stated that Chivu “knows how to play football, and we train very well with he and his staff.”

“We can’t respond to what he wants from us immediately,” the Frenchman admitted. “But little by little we’ll get there.”

“And in any event, he and his staff have been doing a great job since they arrived here.”

Then, Pavard admitted that “the match against Monterrey wasn’t a great one for us.”

“We were also suffering from the heat in Pasadena,” the defender noted.

“It’s certainly tough to start again after the loss in the Champions League final. But now, we have to think about the next match.”

“We’re training well. With our new coach, we’re working well. And we’ll do everything to win tomorrow.”

Of coming up against Urawa Red Diamonds, Pavard said that “we’re facing a good team.”

“In the past when I was at Stuttgart I played with Hiroki Ito, a Japanese international,” he added.

Pavard said Urawa Reds are “tactically well-organized.”

“We’ll need to play a great match to win.”
