🚨🎙️ | Patrice Evra on Michael Olise nonchalant attitude and Lamine Yamal Comparisons: 💣
🗣️ Evra: “Let me tell you something about the media they are hypocrites, simple. No consistency, no balance, just noise. And I’ll be honest, social media now? It’s becoming something else. Everybody wants to talk. Nobody wants to understand.
Olise is my boy, and I have nothing against his nonchalant behavior. The kid is calm, he expresses himself in his own way. But look at what people say ‘he’s cold’, ‘he doesn’t care’, ‘he’s too relaxed’. They try to kill his personality because he is not loud, because he is not acting for the cameras.
Now let’s talk about Lamine Yamal. Same confidence, same composure, same self-belief but now it’s ‘arrogance’, now it’s ‘pride’. So which one is it? When Michael Olise does it, it’s ‘cold’ and ‘nonchalant’. When Yamal does it, it’s a problem. Come on, let’s be real what are we doing here?
This is what I call double standards. This is what I call disrespect not just to the players, but to football itself. You cannot change the narrative depending on the name or the shirt. Today it’s Olise, tomorrow it’s Yamal, next week it will be someone else. The cycle never stops.
Football is about personality. Not everyone will smile, not everyone will scream, not everyone will celebrate like crazy. Some players are quiet killers, some express with passion but all of them deserve respect. Instead of celebrating that diversity, the media tries to put them in boxes, label them, criticize them for being themselves.
If you are real, they say you are faking it. If you are faking it, they say you are doing too much. If you stay quiet, they say you are pretending to be nonchalant. So tell me what do you actually want from these players?
Especially that kid, Lamine Yamal the level of criticism he has received in the past months is unbelievable. Every little thing a Barcelona player does is taken out of proportion. Every word, every gesture boom, headline, drama, opinion. It’s too much.
Listen, I love this game, but sometimes I don’t love the people talking about it. The media? They are the kings of the double standard. Pure hypocrisy.
So for me, it’s simple let them play. Let them grow. Let them be human. If they are ‘cold’ or if they have ‘pride’, as long as they perform on the pitch, you should keep quiet and enjoy the football. Because this nonsense? It’s killing the beauty of the game”
