da bet esporte： Everyone who witnessed him play knows what a fantastically successful footballer Roy Keane was during his 15 years with Nottingham Forest and Manchester United, as well as how much entertainment he added to the game whilst in the game.
da imperador bet： Keane spent 12 years at Old Trafford winning the league title seven times, the FA Cup four times, and also the famous Champions League campaign of 1998/99. A hugely successful period for all at Man United.
On a personal note he won many awards but it was his persona and, in particular, his no nonsense attitude which made him so interesting to watch. His rivalry with Patrick Vieira made meetings between United and Arsenal the most anticipated fixtures of the season. Two captains of the best sides in the country and both playing in the centre of midfield – one of the greatest Premier League battles. Speaking of battles, Roy was never one to shy away from a physical one – whether it be legal or not. He notoriously ended Alf-Inge Håland’s career on purpose with a dreadful tackle, and was punished after he claimed in his autobiography that he did intend to hurt him.
More recently he signed on as Paul Lambert’s assistant manager at Aston Villa and the season started very well for the pair, as the team got off to a flyer. They were looking defensively sound after winning three of their opening four Premier League games with three clean sheets, and it was supposedly all thanks to Keane. He was being hailed by some as ‘the signing of the season’ along with plenty of other superlatives. The former player abd pundit was putting his money where his mouth was and things couldn’t have gone much better.
But it all took a turn for the worse when it emerged Keane was ready to dish more dirt about former players and managers in the the second part to his autobiography.
Suddenly things weren’t looking so rosy for Keane & co. at Villa, and it became even more evident that it was ridiculous to think that he could single-handedly improve Villa. Following The Villans’ fine start they immediately went on a dire run of six straight defeats (with an aggregate score of 15-1). However, now it was all down to the players and Lambert and nothing to do with Roy Keane. As would be expected, it was a good story that super-hard Roy Keane had kicked Villa into shape – yet now it seems the case that they’ve not improved at all since last season.
His book has certainly been more successful than Aston Villa in the last few months, and you’ve got the hand it to him. He’s excellent at selling himself and his persona. He’s almost created a character that people simply can’t get enough of. He’s daring when talking as a pundit and although that is refreshing to hear, it does’t help with his coaching.
When he was receiving all the plaudits for Villa’s performances, it wasn’t particularly ridiculous that it was him in particular but more to do with the fact that he is an assistant manager. That position is one that can influence the club as much as Keane supposedly had/has. The club are again under-performing and Roy is still at the club, something that wouldn’t be happening if he was the sole reason for a Villa uprise.
Perhaps it was a case of beginners luck, or simply that the fixture list began was kind to them at the start before getting tougher. Regardless, he’s good at selling himself and his books but he’s not sold to me that he’s an influential assistant manager – as much as that is even possible.
