#1 Benjamin Pavard
Young French right full-back and 22-year-old 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 in the tournament with some excellent displays.
With sound positioning and good attacking play including a special goal against Argentina, Pavard has exceeded expectation in the national team. The player has become a valuable addition to the team and important to the manager putting in a good shift against Uruguay as France progressed to the semi-final of the World Cup.
Pavard will be a threat for Belgium in the semi-final and the European minnows will have to contain and not overlook him, as he could cause the golden generation some problems.
