PRESS UNFAIR ON KEANE
press have been unfair in the criticism of Keano after the
Madrid match.
"It was unfair because I played him in a position which was
difficult for him. Once he got into the battle in the second
half he was much better. He needs to be in the battle, but

and he found it difficult in the first half.

"I'm not surprised by the flack he has taken because Roy is

so they can have lunch or anything like that, so he is going
to get stick. It's a fact of life.

"There were one or two players on the pitch who, because of

the character he is and what he stands for, is always going
to get the stick. So I am not surprised."
