I didn't even think about it. I  just tried to get over it and keep it down," Pavard told FIFA.com after  the clash in Kazan."I was trying to hit it in the direction it came from, which is  what the strikers always tell me. I didn't think it over, and when it  went in I just felt so happy."Pavard's performances in Russia have seen him linked to a move away  from Stuttgart, with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich said to be  interested in taking the 22-year-old to the Allianz Arena.[YOUTUBE]Ov39iGAgEn4[/YOUTUBE]</blockquote>
