Not impressed

Anyone who’s come into contact with Roy Keane will know really doesn’t mince his words.

On the eve of Chelsea’s 2-1 Champions League loss to PSG, in which he played poorly, Eden Hazard made some unfortunate comments.

Roy Keane is aware of the comments. He is also aware of Hazard’s lacklustre form ever since he signed a lucrative new deal with Chelsea.

Last night on ITV, Keane explained exactly how he would deal with a disruptive presence like Hazard, saying:

“I really can’t understand these players. He signed an extension last year to his contract for another five years. We saw how good he was last year.

“And then he’s coming out with all that nonsense on the eve of a big, big game.

“If I was one of his team-mates I’d kick him up and down the training pitch. Some of the senior players have got to get hold of him.

“A talented, talented boy but his attitude, even last night, he’s like a spoilt child. It’s absolutely ridiculous.”
