Patrice Evra has issued a thinly veiled broadside at Steven
Gerrards recent statement concerning the overflow of foreigners
blighting the progress of English players.
In mid-week Liverpool and England skipper Steven Gerrard declared
his support for those calling for a quota on foreign players for
teams in the Premiership, even though he, Peter Crouch and Jamie
Carragher are England's only representatives in the Reds
squad.
But in a press conference in France, Patrice Evra pointed to the
number of English international team-mates in the Manchester United
squad as evidence that the league champions are an exception to the
theory, and thus are not a team that stunts the progress of the
national side.
I dont know if he said that, but we do have five or six England
internationals in our team, Evra said whilst training with Les
Bleus.
So if he said that, he was not talking about Manchester.
