After the Champions league semi-final match against Arsenal won by Manchester United Evra stated 'the children' of Arsenal were no match for the 'men' of Manchester. As a result colleague defender and fellow Frenchmen Mikaël Silvestre felt urged to react to the case.
The Arsenal Silvestre gave a fiery response, in which he implied that the outcome would be entirely different if Gallas, Clichy and Arshavin would have been available. He also stated his disapproval over the lack of respect shown for the older players by commenting in this manner. Manchester United advance to the Champions league final, where they are matched with Spanish giants Barcelona.
The media is very pleased when conficts like between these two occur. Football is a big deal in England and the attention has been massive for ages. Besides judging players on performances, where Dutch journalists draw the line, the English are always looking to scandalise players.
Whether it is their own fault ( fighting in bars, crashing Ferrari's ) or not, the media is always looking for news. Obviously, nothing seems to go to far. Players and managers being accused of affairs, talks with other clubs or other rumours. Taking all this in account, I think there have to be some boundaries set on this subject. Because right now, the morale and role of journalists is sickening.
