Apart from his illustrious career, Roy Keane is known for being blunt and rarely mincing words when analyzing player performances. One of the targets was the Serbian player Nemanja Matic, who has now responded to the criticism of the legendary midfielder.
- I have respect for what he did as a player, but he should understand that football has changed since then. If I played for Chelsea, I wouldn’t say I hate them, would I?! Brave people are those who tell you everything directly to your face. He’s always been nice to me live so I don’t really care what he says in public. I know what I’ve done in my career, I’m happy about it – Matic started, and then he touched on the career of the former captain of the Red Devils.
- The way he behaved on the field and played in 70 percent of the games today is a red card. You can’t hit people on the field while cameras are recording you and the whole world is watching – said the former Chelsea and Manchester United player.
Matic also defended Harry Maguire, who is the target of great criticism.
- The disaster is what people do to him… Everything should have its own limit. Those people who write on social networks are mostly guys who don’t have their own life and have to write bad things about someone somewhere in order to feel better – said Matic.
