Why I shook hands with Luis Suarez – Patrice Evra

Follow@ebonychic4life

Patrice Evra, says it was important he shook hands with Luis Suarez, before their game yesterday at Anfield, as the rift between them was insignificant compared to the magnitude of the Premier League clash. The pair failed to shake hands when Manchester United hosted Liverpool in February, but carried out the pre-match formalities on Sunday.
“I think the most important word today was respect because it was a game between two big clubs that have both had big tragedies,” he told United’s official television channel. “That’s why, although a lot of people were talking about me shaking hands with Suarez, the story of the clubs is bigger than that. It’s why I think if I didn’t shake his hand, I didn’t respect the story of both clubs.
“In the end, this time, he shook my hand and it was more important to respect the families who lost a lot of people.”
The French left-back, was also happy that his team won their first game at Anfield since 2007.
“We’ve been coming here for a long time and I’ve not been seeing a dressing room like that with smiles on the faces after the game,” he said. “I want to win against Liverpool. If I play badly or play well, I just want to win and that is what we did.
“I always say one of the best sensations is when we win at Anfield.”weldone my boyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
