Patrice Evra (41) He could not speak more clearly about what is PSG. The former French international and former footballer of Manchester Utd (2005-14) Not that he is saying that this is not a team with good players, but he believes that at the Parque de los Príncipes they are more aware of the show taking place in the stands than on the pitch. “It is a show club where football is not the priority,” he said, arguing that this is the reason why he has not yet won a Champions League.
His words to ‘RMC’ are a slap in the face for a billionaire club that has won everything in France but failed when it crossed the border. “It is more difficult to play in Paris than in Manchester United or Real Madrid because of the pressure and the big expectations, but I have a problem in Paris: we extend the red carpet to everyone. It was Dani Alves (who has a past in PSG) at the time who said to me: ‘But Pat, we’ll never win the Champions League. You came here and saw we were rockstars'”.
Evra regrets that the tribute is not paid to the legends and surpasses the praise for the newly arrived stars: “In the stands you don’t see Bernard Lamas, but the Kardashians and company. This is a show business club. The football is not the priority, no . Nasser Al-Khelaïfi likes the club, but communication fails. When I watch a game in Paris, it’s like watching a concert. I’m in the VIP room, champagne, petit fours… But guys , where are the legends? When you go to Old Trafford, my name is written on the seat and the names of the legends who have walked there. There is no Leonardo Di Caprio coming to watch the game, we are not in Hollywood”, he concluded.
