Manchester United and France defender Patrice Evra says it would be a
failure for him if he did not win a tournament with his national team.
The Manchester United full-back believes a lack of success with Les
Bleus would represent a very disappointing conclusion to his
international
career.
The former Monaco full-back made his debut for Les Bleus in 2004 and
has since gone on to earn 46 caps for his country, representing them in
four major competitions, and captaining the side at the World Cup in
2010.
In stark contrast to his domestic career at Old Trafford, the
31-year-old’s international career has been fraught with off-field
controversy and is yet to produce any success on the pitch. The
Senegalese-born full-back is now keen to put that right, believing that
the international set-up has improved under Didier Deschamps.
Evra told Gazzetta Dello Sport: “After World Cup 2010, Italy improved
their way of playing and their results, but France had more
difficulties. “Now I want to win with my national team, it will be a
failure for me not winning. With Blanc I lost my position as a regular
player, now with Deschamps things are better. He said to me ‘Only if you
play well you will be a regular player.”
