Patrice Evra has declared that football is a ‘religion’
for English fans.
Manchester United left back Evra has urged France’s supporters
to emulate the Premier League fans, who are passionate for their
sport and who show respect to their idols.
The defender has claimed that he discovered a new world when he
moved from Monaco to Old Trafford, and the talented player would be
pleased to witness the same atmosphere when he wears the blue shirt
of his country.
Evra has added that booing your own players is unacceptable
behaviour.
“When I arrived in England, I felt like I was doing a different
job,” Evra told L’Equipe.
“The impact of the stadiums and of the fans is...Football is a
religion there.
“What would I tell the France fans? Just to love football.
“If you love football, you can’t have such behaviour [booing
your own players].”
