Evra To Gerrard: United Have More Englishmen Than Liverpool
-
Patrice Evra has issued a thinly veiled broadside at Steven GerrardÂ’s 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 don’t 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.” -
