Mikael Silvestre believes Patrice Evra lacked respect
towards some Arsenal stars when he called The Gunners
‘children’.
Manchester United left back Evra labelled the Champions League
semi-final, second leg with Arsenal a game between ‘adults and
children’ as United progressed to the final.
But former United man Silvestre is not happy with his
compatriot's declarations and has backed his team-mates to bounce
back and prove themselves next term.
“I think it is a lack of respect to players like Kolo Toure,
Emmanuel Adebayor or Robin van Persie. They are not babies, they
are over 25,” Silvestre told Le Parisien.
“For sure, conceding a goal early in the game was a blow, but we
have to remember that we were without William Gallas, Gael Clichy
and Andrei Arshavin.
“It would have been a different story if they had been there. It
is up to us to show next season that he [Evra] is wrong and that
Arsenal can win silverware playing our football.”
