Keane slams modern-day players

Ask any professional or expert about what I just said and I'm positive they will agree. This is not just a random statement that I have made up, I'm knowledgable about the subject and that statement is the result of my education in the subject. I was taught this and I am going touring America next year teaching football around various MLS clubs and will be imposing these thoughts on everyone I meet too. Please refrain from attacking me personally any further as it will result in you looking stupid.
 
Alsooooooooo, whoever said Puskas, legend, Eusebio, legend, blah blah blah. If you have ever seen more than 30mins footage of players like that I'll give you a tenner. The standard football fan response is to reel off all these names and say they were the best ever when they know nothing about them. In reality, even the best players from years ago, say Pele, would barely make the Premiership these days compared to the likes of players like Rooney. You take Pele, probably trained 4 times a week maybe by playing a few games of football and doing some fitness. Probably eat okay but didn't care too much for it, his talent was all he had and he would do nothing to build on it. You take Rooney, probably swooped from a pitch on a Sunday morning at around 8 years of age, since then been in the peak of physical fitness a man can be, eating right, having the best injury care, facilities, education on how to play. Pele didn't have a chance competing with that...

Interesting point, I wouldn't dismiss that out of hand..

As a Sunderland supporter I'm made up Keane's in charge. He may not be a legendary footballer as per convential wisdom, but there's a decent chance he'll be a legend at Sunderland. (in other words preventing us getting relegated:lol:)


When McShane stamped on Hleb and got sent off at Arsenal on Sunday, the chant of 'just like your manager, just like your manager' rang out for sometime:lol:
