Benjamin Pavard talks about depression

Pavard describes his situation as follows: “I am a human being like everyone else and even though I have a nice house with a gym, I needed human contact. I woke up in the morning and had no appetite. I tried to take care of myself to take care of, to cook, to watch TV series.”

Back in December, Pavard had a conversation with L’Equipe revealed he went through a “difficult” phase in his life, adding: “Few people knew what I went through.”

Most recently, the 26-year-old also had Telefoot talked about personal problems in the past. “I wasn’t happy, couldn’t play football well because things weren’t going well in my life,” said Pavard, and also spoke about thoughts of changing last summer: “I questioned a lot of things in the summer. I had calls from different clubs. “

He therefore “spoke to Julian Nagelsmann, with whom I have a good relationship. He made it clear to me that I would play a big role in his plans.”
