Roy Keane is a big fan of Manchester City’s playing style and has publicly expressed his admiration for them.
This comes after their 3-1 victory against Copenhagen in a recent Champions League match, where City’s dominant performance led to criticism from pundits who suggested their games might be becoming boring to watch.
However, Keane defended the team, stating that he does not agree with such accusations and finds their technical and attacking style of play admirable.
In a recent episode of Stick To Football, Keane shared his thoughts on the matter, stating that he finds City’s dominance and technical prowess truly remarkable.
He admired their ability to dominate games, praised the players and their style of play, and expressed his appreciation for the brilliance of their performance.
He said: “I certainly wouldn’t agree when fans say that about City [that they are boring]. They are very technical.
“The stats were unbelievable the other night, I know they were away from home against Copenhagen but they beat United.
“I admire that, I admire when a team can dominate that much, the players, their style. I like their style of play. I like it because of the brilliance of it. I would give City the thumbs up, honestly.”
This indicates that Keane is a strong advocate for City’s playing style, and he believes that they are far from boring to watch.
Analyzing their recent win in Copenhagen, it is evident that City’s style of play is far from boring. With 79% possession and 27 shots at goal, 13 of which were on target, City’s attacking prowess is hard to dispute.
In fact, when comparing their performance in the entire competition, City holds the record for the most shots at goal, shots on target, shot-creating actions, and goal-creating actions, which accentuates the excitement and attacking action that they bring to the Champions League.
While the team might not be concerned with how certain pundits view their playing style, it is certainly reassuring to see someone of Keane’s stature appreciating their brilliance on the pitch.
His comments shed light on the technical, attacking, and entertaining aspects of City’s game, highlighting that they are far from being boring. This should serve as a testament to City’s exceptional performance and entertaining style of play in the Champions League.
