We've also seen players take each other on in video game format with La Liga having a FIFA 20 tournament and the Hong Kong Premier League taking to Pro Evolution Soccer 2020. We have seen the 10-touch toilet paper challenge with stars such as Barcelona's Ballon d'Or winning Lionel Messi even got involved, bringing to mind the Michel Platini quote, "What Zidane can do with a football, Maradona could do with an orange" - or Zlatan Ibrahimovic's claim that whatever John Carew could do with a football, he could do with an orange. With the world staying inside during the global coronavirus pandemic, the beautiful game's players and fans have been looking alternative ways to get their football fix. Keane told ITV in October: "I do remember having conversations with the manager when I was at the club about loyalty and, in my opinion, I don't think he knows the meaning of the word.Diego Maradona (left) uses his hand to score the first goal of his team during the 1986 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal against England on Jin Mexico City. "Throughout my career I have been strong enough to deal with important issues like that. I just couldn't lose my control in this situation. For one reason or another he decides to go and criticise his team-mates. Ferguson said Keane invited the United players to watch the interview, but that the decision backfired when several senior players, including Dutch duo Edwin van der Sar and Ruud van Nistelrooy, rounded on the captain.įerguson said at a press conference promoting the release of his book in October: "'We had to react to the situation so quickly because his actions were so quick. The Scot said Keane had "slaughtered" several of his team-mates in the MUTV interview. Keane said Ferguson's strongest trait was his "ruthlessness", while labelling "loyalty" his biggest weakness.įerguson said in his autobiography that his authority at Old Trafford would have been undermined had he not forced Keane out in 2005. "I could have played for Manchester United easily for another couple of years." "I told David Gill I had been injured playing for Man United. "I walked out with nothing, I had no club lined up and I was injured. "But I also told myself I had to get on with my life. He said: "Of course I was upset: I did shed a few tears in my car for about two minutes. Keane admitted he had cried in his car when his United career came to an abrupt end over a candid interview he gave to the club's in-house television station criticising his team-mates. It's like praising the postman for delivering letters." I get offended when people give quotes like that about me. Keane added: "Stuff like that almost insults me. The Irishman even took issue with Ferguson praising him in his recently released autobiography for "covering every blade of grass" in the 1999 Champions League semi-final second leg against Juventus. He said that his relationship with the former United boss is now "non existent". Keane, who left United in 2005 after a disagreement with Ferguson, was speaking in an ITV4 documentary called 'Keane and Vieira: The Best of Enemies' concerning his rivalry with former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira. He's still striving for it now even though he's not manager. Keane said of Ferguson, now a director at United: "Everything is about control and power. United have endured a difficult start to life under Ferguson's successor David Moyes, having already lost three league games at Old Trafford, leaving them in ninth spot and 13 points behind front-runners Arsenal. Keane, who was the midfield driving force in a glorious spell for the club between 19, but who has fallen out with Ferguson since then, said his former boss at Nottingham Forest, Brian Clough, was the best manager he worked under. The fiery Irishman claims the Scottish coach is trying to exert "control and power" at the struggling defending champions and has a "massive ego". Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has lashed out again at retired Old Trafford manager Alex Ferguson in a ITV4 documentary set to be aired on Tuesday.
