Aleksandar Pavlovic
It was a difficult summer for Aleksandar Pavlovic as he struggled to perform well for Germany at the World Cup. The young central midfielder has taken the criticism on the chin and worked hard in the pre-season. His hard work yielded results in the first competitive game of the season as he was the best midfielder on the pitch in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup.
Pavlovic completed a staggering 94% of the 103 passes he attempted against Dortmund. He helped Bayern dominate the game by being secure in possession. The 22-year-old also created one chance in the game.
Along with showing his quality on the ball, Pavlovic also excelled defensively. He made four interceptions and seven recoveries in the game. The German midfielder won 67% of his aerial duels, but needs to improve when it comes to winning ground duels.
Pavlovic’s confidence will certainly be boosted after delivering a near-perfect performance against Dortmund.
