That is great 
I know it has been obvious since he first joined the club, but Evra's role in the dressing room this season was even greater this season (especially given the difficult start), and some of these videos help show that. I really love the core of players this club has been built around since 2011, and the way management just continues to add to them with players like Patrice and Mandzukic who are both hugely successful winners already and slot into the way Juve operate perfectly. Really important player to have around now the squad has relatively more youngsters, he seems to be a good role model for the young French midfielders as well. I'm delighted he's getting a contract extension.

And Evra looks set to stay in Turin until at least 2018 after announcing an agreement over a contract extension.
"Yes, I gave my consent to the club, I'll stay for another two years," he said after the Coppa Italia final win over AC Milan, as quoted by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Evra has made 35 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring twice.

Actually I don't really like this.
Evra's performance this year were average to plain poor.
I understand he's an important guy to have in the squad because of experience, but honestly, performance comes first, always.
He's a disaster in the 352, OK in 442. But he gives us limitations. Any 352 with him is bad. And knowing how conservative and stubborn Italian coaches are (and Italian people in general), even though Allegri is the closest you can call to a "modern" open minded with good common sense Italian coach, he could keep preferring Evra to Sandro, which is appalling and absurd.
We probably just don't want to spend at the position for a backup to Sandro, and there aren't many options. But I don't see Evra as a good player anymore.
