Patrice Evra . After being hit with a season-long ban and losing his job at Marseille for a karate kick on a supporter, Patrice Evra was backed by former team-mate Steve Mandanda on Sunday.
“He’s a really good guy,” the Marseille goalkeeper said of the
36-year-old Evra, who parted ways with the club after being banned from
European football until June 30, 2018.
“I’m very disappointed for Pat, a true friend, and a real good guy.
We have lost a leader,” said Mandanda of the former France captain who
also played 379 times for Manchester United.
Evra had been widely condemned for the assault on a Marseille fan
which took place ahead of a Europa League tie at Portuguese side Vitoria
Guimaraes last week.
And Mandanda acknowledged his former team-mate had made a major error.
“As a professional, you need to set an example and this is not the
kind of thing you can do,” he said. “But he’s only human and the
circumstances shouldn’t have been like they were either.”

At the match in question, a group of fans had come to the pitchside to harangue the player.
France coach Didier Deschamps described Evra’s sanction as heavy on Friday.
“I’m neither condemning him nor judging him,” said Deschamps, for whom Evra played at Monaco and with France.
“But it’s something that you just can’t do and he knows that.”
Marseille president Jacques-Henri Eyraud said Friday that it was a sombre day for the 1993 European champions. Read Also:‘Karate kick’ Patrice Evra Leaves Marseille
“Today, there is sadness, firstly for Patrice Evra, who obviously
understood the consequences of his actions and who will no longer be
able to display his passion at Marseille,” said Eyraud.
“Then, for the supporters of Marseille, who are stigmatised because of the irresponsible behaviour of a handful of them.”
In contrast to how Evra is remembered in Manchester, in France there
has been a whiff of sulphur to Evra’s reputation since a players’ strike
at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa whilst he was captain.
