On his first day in charge, Roy Keane showed the "terrible" side of Quinn's prophecy - not to lash out at his players, but to apologize openly and honestly to his former enemies. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

You know, the Irishman's iron bones never bend over for anyone, and now after a 180-degree image change, isn't a manager who can afford to take and let go of Roy Keane not enough to scare Sunderland's opponents? What's more, his preferred object of apology is none other than his former worst enemy, Alex Ferguson, who personally ended his Old Trafford career.

"I tell you, anytime I pick up the phone and say sorry to Ferguson. I do need his blessing. Facing the media in England, Keane reached out to the Manchester United manager, who had been a father and son in love, even though it was less than a year since he was kicked out of Old Trafford.

After witnessing Sunderland win their first opponent in the Championship on Tuesday, Roy Keane in the stands also seemed to see a bright future for himself at the club. The support of Quinn and the club's board of directors, the eagerness of the Sunderland fans, and even the scepticism of the outside world have made Keane, who is taking up the reins for the first time, understand that in this new role, his role is not the egoistic Roy Keane on the pitch, but a manager who is willing to deal with people.

As a result, there was a scene where the former Manchester United leader who put down his body took the initiative to bow to Ferguson.

'In the last two seasons, I've elevated myself to the same high level as the manager. It's not objective and it's the main factor that led to my conflict with the club. Sometimes I take things too seriously, but it turns out to be completely unnecessary. To be honest, I was lucky enough to play under Alex Ferguson and leaving was probably the price I should pay. "I've made a lot of similar mistakes over the years, and those mistakes have made my experience in the national team and at the club less than perfect. As I got older and more experienced, I felt it was time to tinker. Just like after my wife and I quarrel, I will find an opportunity to make it clear and resolve the conflict as soon as possible. ”?

After being kicked out of Manchester United by Alex Ferguson, Roy Keane moved to Celtic in the Premier League.

And in the following half season, he brought another league title to the Green Army. After that, due to the old injuries that did not heal and the gradual loss of fighting spirit, Roy Keane retired early with one year left on his contract.

But during that half-year, both Roy Keane and Ferguson avoided talking about their problems.

Even at the farewell game, Roy Keane didn't say anything other than a brief thank-you speech. Between him and Alex Ferguson and Manchester United, it was like a high wall, and neither of them wanted to have the other in their lives.

But after taking over Sunderland, Roy Keane suddenly took the initiative. In his inaugural declaration, he said, "I didn't expect to be back on the pitch so soon, but now that I'm here, I'm ready." ”?

Showing favor to Ferguson is the first and crucial step for Roy Keane to start his career as a head coach.

The big guy who used to be reluctant to pay attention to people off the court is now moving closer to the image of a manager who is willing to communicate. 'I've played under Alex Ferguson for so many years and I appreciate the way he supports the players, he's like a father, standing behind the players, looking after them or standing in front of them.

"I think I'll learn a lot from him and even today he's one of the best coaches in the Premier League. After an affectionate confession, Keane also showed his affordable side. I think if I call him on loan now, he wouldn't object to it. At this, he smiled slyly.

It is a small world. After retiring from the Irish national team four years ago, Roy Keane would not have imagined that his football career would be linked to Quinn and Sunderland FC from today.

The national team teammate and league rival who had a bad relationship with him back then has now given Keane a chance to fulfill his dream of coaching. After signing a contract with an annual salary of £2 million, Keane, who has just said goodbye to his playing career, will also bid farewell to the historical feud with Quinn and Sunderland FC, and shoulder the responsibility of reviving the team.

Being a coach was a dream of Roy Keane when he was still a player, and he had the temperament to guide the country, but he didn't expect that soon after he decided to retire, he would have the opportunity to become a real manager, and he coached the team Sunderland, which was owned by old nemesis Quinn.

Since leaving Old Trafford, Roy Keane has signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Scottish giants Celtic. But another career league title hasn't changed Keane's mind about retiring.

Turning down the club's offer, Keane decided to spend more time recuperating from his injuries and his family. At this time, his contemporary, Irish international Quinn, relied on the support of his hometown consortium to successfully buy Sunderland FC, which was relegated to the Championship last season.

In the absence of a suitable manager, Quinn had to take charge himself. Unfortunately, Sunderland failed to pick up a point in five consecutive league games, and Quinn also reaped the consequences by removing himself as the club's chairman. On the day he laid down the whip, Quinn assured that he would bring in a "winner" for Sunderland, a new world-class manager.

Last week, a well-known name appeared frequently on the sports pages of major British media, and all kinds of signs indicate that Quinn's so-called "winner, world-class coach" is none other than former Manchester United captain and seven-time Premier League champion "world-class midfielder" Roy Keane.

But what has aroused more interest from the outside world is that Roy Keane and Quinn, the former enemies, are now sharing weal and woe.

Previously, when Roy Keane withdrew from the national team after a bad exchange with McCarthy, who is also the manager of Sunderland, Quinn, the main center at the time, also stood firmly on McCarthy's side.

In the 2002-2003 season, Manchester United played Sunderland away, and Roy Keane also elbowed compatriot McAtier on the pitch and got into a verbal altercation with Quinn. With the decline of their careers, the two sides did not create any more topics. Roy Keane's willingness to be Sunderland boss this time shows that the rift between him and Quinn has healed in the face of shared interests.

After winning this game against Derby, Roy Keane can finally start to speak loudly, and when he first joined the club, in the face of the press-on-step pressure of the media, Roy Keane has been temporarily avoiding the edge, completely lacking the momentum of the past.

But now? Irish fellow, Manchester United's loan, Chen Yier brought by himself from Italy, Roy Keane can be said to have given Sunderland a facelift, and the cunning villain knows better than anyone that a clenched fist can only give a heavy punch after accumulating strength.
