The ongoing public feud between Pierre Menès, a consultant for Canal+, and Patrice Evra, a player for Manchester United, continues to stir emotions. The latest twist in this drama unfolds in Ivory Coast, where a journalist from National Radio has inserted himself into the dispute. Rash N’Guessan, a sharp-witted columnist, positioned himself as a defender of the French international from the Red Devils.
During the Ivory Coast-Mali match (0-1) in the UEMOA tournament’s second day, N’Guessan expressed his dissatisfaction on air, stating, “When you’re a mere consultant, you need to choose your words carefully. With all due respect, Pierre Menès crossed a line in my opinion.” He emphasized his point by invoking the well-known adage, “Criticism is easy, but art is very difficult.” N’Guessan hinted that Menès, despite accepting the challenge of eight juggles presented by an angered Patrick Evra, likely faced considerable difficulty in accomplishing the feat.
Drawing on his 27 years of experience (beginning in 1986), the seasoned journalist suggested that Menès’ words during the events may have indeed unsettled the left side of the Blues. This insight into the ongoing dispute comes from our correspondent in Ivory Coast, EMGEY MARTIAL.
