Since he finally hung up his crampons, Patrice Evra has made many confessions. In his book “I love this game” (Hugo Sport editions) unveiled on October 28, 2021, the former football international speaks in all sincerity about his remarkable journey, life and career. In his book, the former Manchester United star also reveals the sexual assault suffered at the age of 13. “Thinking I was asleep, he put his hands under my bedspread and tried to touch me. I knew what he was doing was wrong, so I tried to push him away and punch him.”, he says about one of his trainers. “It lasted ten or fifteen minutes, like a fight. He was not joking and did everything to take off my pants. No words were spoken in the dark, but he was touching himself and being sexually aroused.”
In full media tour to promote his autobiography, Patrice Evra did not fail to scratch some of his former teammates either. He did not hesitate thus, to attack certain figures of the Blues of 98, like Zinédine Zidane or Bixente Lizarazu. And he was not more tender with Yoann Gourcuff when discussing the rumors about the treatment of which the husband of Karine Ferri would have been the victim during the 2010 World Cup. At that time, everyone wanted his skin. There were plenty of lies. They said he was terrorized by scum. I went to see Yo and told him that Ribéry had never spoken badly to him. I told him to speak. The truth is that people told him to stay back: “It’s going to hit the scum, you’re the little Frenchman”he told the microphone of RMC Sport.
In a new interview broadcast on TikTok, Patrice Evra returns to this case and declares: “It’s because everyone said that Gourcuff was a great player. But he himself did not consider himself a great player. And me in my head it was ‘how do you want me to go to war with a lamb?‘”
