Patrice Evra

If you play a bad game, you can't say it was because you were injured.

The Australian players are getting better.

I'd always thought Australia was a rugby country, but football is really developing here, and Juve are extremely popular.

I qualify myself like a bottle of wine - the more I get older, the more it tastes sweet!

It was really difficult for me to leave Manchester United. I left for a personal choice.

It doesn't matter if you go somewhere and you're still winning - it's always the wrong decision to leave a club like Manchester United.

I live in the present because the past is regret, and the future is anxiety.

If it amuses you to hit people, you do boxing - you do taekwondo - whatever you want. But you don't play football.

I remember, in my first interview after I arrived in Manchester, I said, 'I didn't come here to play in the Champions League - I have come to win it.'

I am at the top of the pyramid, but I am not stupid, and I realise that one small step could see me fall down very quickly.

I like to win; I chose Juve to win. I will do my best for the fans, the club, and my team-mates.

You have to fear the wounded animal.

It doesn't matter who we play against, whether it is Barcelona or another big team: when you are Man United, you do not have an excuse. You have to win.

When Manchester United play with the right spirit, nobody can beat us.

When I hear people say Patrice never had someone to fight him for his place, I think they have bad memories. They forget very quickly how I got to become Manchester United's left-back. I fought with two great players in Gabriel Heinze and Mikael Silvestre.

The minute Juventus came calling, I knew it was the right choice for me. They have the same winning mentality as me.

The Premier League title is very important, of course. I always say to play in the league and to win the title is very difficult. It makes you very proud.

I have never hidden my love of Paris, even though Monaco is still 'my' team.

The feeling here at Juventus is amazing.

If you love Man United, you should never criticise them. You need to support them.

For me, Arsenal is a football training centre. You watch the match, you enjoy it, but are you going to win a title afterwards? That's what people remember.

People can call me arrogant, but why should I lie? Of course I feel strong, and of course I am proud as well.

A derby is a derby. When you play a derby, it is for winning, not just to play.

Haters will always hate.

Manchester United never die.

It's normal to win the championship. It's Manchester United. We don't have the right to make mistakes.

When you play for Manchester United, any year you don't win the title, you feel like you haven't done your job.

Football is like a pyramid. It is easy to reach the top of the pyramid, but to stay there is the hardest part.

Patrice Evra has always fought for his place.

The Champions League is the biggest trophy. Everybody in the world wants to win it.

It is important to keep Manchester United on top of the world.

We need to be behind Man United always when they win or lose.

I love Man United, and I will always love Man United. It is not a fake love.

A lot of people are jealous about Man United, so they just keep criticising, even when they win.

Some might say friendlies are unimportant, but we always try to win because we then maintain that positive mentality when the real competitions start.

Each year, you are playing to win. That is Manchester's culture.

In football, you can't always succeed.

I do what I have to on the pitch.

In life, you always have a second chance.

Manchester United is a factory workers' club. You have to respect that culture.

I will play for my country until my legs won't allow it or the national coach doesn't call me.

If you are ready to play, you have to give everything. No excuses.

You bear the weight of the club's history on your shoulders, and you only become a true Red Devil once you understand this.

Playing for Manchester United demands huge sacrifices. It is a club for workers, and we are there to slog our guts out. There is no bling and sequins about the place.

It does not matter if I'm Man of the Match.

I think the French teams sometimes doubt themselves. They play some beautiful games but, when it comes down to it, do not go through.

I'm very close to Sir Alex and have a lot of respect for him, and a lot of respect for myself.

The most important thing is believing in yourself.

Everyone thinks if they have a problem, the first thing they want to do is play football and enjoy themselves.

You have to win the title with a strong team and a strong defence, but I don't only like to talk about the four defenders and the goalkeeper when you concede goals. It's about the team.
