Former French football team captain and Manchester United veteran footballer Patrice Evra believes that the French team will be the favorite in the upcoming Euro Cup football, but overconfidence and arrogance after scoring a goal is the biggest weakness of the French team.
On whether France can forget the bitter taste of FIFA World Cup defeat by winning the Euro Cup, Patrice, who was included in the expert panel of Sony Sports Network, said that both the tournaments have different importance. France is a strong contender to win the title but France's biggest enemy is France itself. France has better bench strength than any other team in the world but sometimes the players become overconfident. Take the last Euro Cup for example, in the match against Switzerland, we were ahead 3-1 for 80 minutes and we started celebrating the victory. The Swiss team equalized the score and we lost in the penalty shootout. In 2016, we lost the final against Portugal. The result of the World Cup final will not have any effect on the performance of the Euro Cup.
Saying that apartheid has no place in football, Patrice said that football is a global platform through which the stain of apartheid can be erased from the world. After the 2020 Euro Cup final, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancha and Bukayo Saka missed penalties against Italy and were not England players after the team's defeat. This also happens in France and when you lose you become Senegal.
