The 2016 European vice-champion goes further in his accusations by evoking the life of the Blues when he frequented Clairefontaine.

“When we eat, we have allocated seats, we are used to sitting next to this guy because we have good relations etc.

Every time the President (of the Republic) came or politicians, everything changed.

I was sitting there and all of a sudden I was at the end of the table.

Where normally, there was Mamadou Sakho or Bacary Sagna, a lot of gloom, it was necessary to change.

We put a Hugo Lloris and a Laurent Koscielny and the president in the middle.

We knew it, it was the rules of the game, we are in France, we are not at home.

But when there was a photo of the president, it was better to see a Hugo Lloris and a Laurent Koscielny rather than a Mamadou Sakho or a Bacary Sagna, ”says Patrice Evra.

"Especially the French players do not like this video otherwise, more selection", continues the retiree who treats Noël Le Graët of "calimero with two balls".

“At 79 years we have to go.

Are you not going to have the courage to represent yourself (in the elections)? ”He asks.
