Evra hits back at World Cup winner Dugarry with strange barb

Paris - Patrice Evra launched a withering attack on Christophe Dugarry on Saturday and challenged the World Cup winner to criticise him to his face.

Veteran Marseille defender Evra also mocked the ex-France striker's relationship with Zinedine Zidane.

"I think he's the only person on earth who knows how many pubic hairs Zinedine Zidane has on his family jewels," Evra said in an interview with former international teammate William Gallas on SFR Sport.

Evra's remarks came in response to Dugarry criticising the former Manchester United and Juventus defender's performances following his arrival at Marseille in January.

"My brother told me, 'You have to deal with (Dugarry)'. If he has a problem with me let him come to Marseille," said the 35-year-old Evra.

"We talk about it, we discuss it, there's no problem. I respect him ... he's a world champion and a European champion."
