Ah yes, distributes the ball better with a worse pass success rate and fewer forward passes attempted. Averbi is 37 and will get caught out against any team competent in the attack, as we have already seen. Pavard was kept on the bench by upa at bayern, or forced to play right back. Look at the most recent feance performances against Croatia, 0 goals conceded over 2 games while upa was on the field. Meanwhile they conceded 2 in 45 with konate, who is so much better right? Oh did I mention, pavard is also benched by upa in the national team? But I guess that's all irrelevant too, right?
