Evra: “After the World Cup final I was crying – I was in pain for three days, I was sick”

A particularly interesting interview was given by Patrice Evra. The veteran back mentioned that after her lost final of France from Argentina for World Cupshe was crying and miserable for three days.

At the same time, he emphasized that in his final Champions League in 2004, he felt before the start that it might not go well for Monaco, since the Morientes he was… pale from his stress!

He also mentioned Paris Saint-Germain and the current situation, as well as the French national team and Didier Deschamps.

For Paris Saint-Germain: “There’s a problem in Paris, it’s that they roll out the red carpet for everyone. When I go to see a match, it’s like going to see a concert. In the stands, you don’t see Bernard the Lama, but the Kardashians and their company. Where are the old ones? Paris has a history. Today it is more difficult to play for Paris Saint-Germain than for Manchester United or Real Madrid. Because there is enormous pressure and expectations.”



For the World Cup Final: “After France-Argentina, I went to my car and cried! I was in pain for three days, I was sick! There were too many emotions. It hurt me so much.”

On Monaco’s final loss to Porto in the Champions League: “Morientes was pale! Pale! The best player of the tournament, the top scorer but… pale! There, I said to myself: “if he is not well…”.

On the fact that Mbappe became the leader of the French national team: “This captain’s armband, in France, we make a big deal about. The one and only captain of Didier Deschamps teams is Didier Deschamps. He is the conductor.”

For the renewal of Deschamps with the French national team: “Why do we want a change when it works? This generation is capable. Deschamps’ story is not over, it may just be the beginning.”
