France v Argentina: Round of 16 - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
Pavard celebrates his brilliant goal

Another right full-back, 22-year-old French defender, Benjamin Pavard's inclusion in the French squad for the World Cup drew a lot of criticism from fans across the globe. Didier Deschamps faced a lot of heat for his inclusion, but the player has come up with the goods.

With sound positioning and good attacking play including a special goal against Argentina, Pavard has exceeded expectation. With Uruguay up next for France, the player has become a valuable addition to the team and important to the manager.

Pavard will be a threat Uruguay will have to contain and not take lightly as he could cause the iron defence some problems.
