“I’m coming to RMC, you know very well that I’m going to blow up! Yes guys, you asked for me, you shouldn’t invite me!” Football fans won’t be able to blame Patrice Evra for announcing the color on his Instagram page. Bright red, like the dye of the Manchester United jersey he wore for eight seasons (2006-2014). New columnist of the show “Rothen s’igname” on the station, in which he will appear three times a month, the former French left-back did not miss his premiere in the gang of his ex-playing partner in Monaco . Or rather didn’t miss Kylian Mbappé…
Patrice Evra would have given the captain’s armband of the Blues to…Antoine Griezmann
With his usual frankness, that of a man who never minces his words, the captain of the Blues during the Knysna fiasco gave his opinion on the non-selection of the new Real Madrid striker, in difficulty with his left leg, for the next gathering of the French team. “Didier (Deschamps, editor’s note) protect him, let’s be clear! If you call him out and he gets hurt, that’s the best way to ruin your relationship with Perez. (the president of the Spanish club, editor’s note)”, first explained Patrice Evra. Before addressing a double tackle with both feet off the new French captain and his fans: “Why do people only talk about Mbappé? It was you who created this legend because he won a World Cup. But for me, Mbappé does not yet come close to Benzema. With all the respect I have for him (…) The armband (from the French team)I would never have given it to Mbappé!”
With Christophe Dugarry, the link is broken
Patrice Evra and Jérôme Rothen have known each other for a long time, notably since they led the left flank of the Monegasque system, culminating in the Champions League final in 2004, lost against Porto. For a time at odds due to insults and physical threats uttered by the first, the two loudmouths decided to put aside their differences to play some smashing one-twos on the airwaves. Which, according to information from “L’Equipe”, is not the case for Christophe Dugarry, another figure on the talk show, who will miss out when Patrice Evra is on the match sheet.
