Evra criticises France fans’ attitude

Defender Patrice Evra hit out at French fans on Tuesday saying their repeated boos towards the national team showed a lack of football culture, the Guardian reported.

“I have been very disappointed by the behaviour of the fans,” the 27-year-old told reporters. “When we play at the Stade de France, I have the impression we are playing away,” he said at France’s training camp ahead of back-to-back World Cup qualifiers against Lithuania.

“I don’t understand. The fans should be behind us. When you play at the Stade de France, you often hear boos after only five minutes, it has to stop. Maybe they don’t like football.”
