The local fans of Barcelona affectionately nicknamed him 'Pep' to express their respect for this player. With good looks and a tall figure, he was once considered the hope of Spain.

Now Guardiola is about to enter his thirties, but his position in Spain is still irreplaceable. His role in the team is also extremely important.

Introduction: In fact, when Keane joined Manchester United in 1993 with the highest transfer fee in England at the time of 3.75 million pounds, Keane was regarded as Robson's successor, and when Innes Since moving to Inter Milan, Keane has learned to use his domineering trademark to contain the well-planned attacks of his opponents. Although he is large and muscular, don't underestimate his sensitivity. In fact, using lightning-fast kicks to disrupt the opponent's offense is his unique skill in Manchester United. Now 29 years old, Keane is in the golden stage of his football career. He seems to be a moving wall on the court. He can be seen no matter where the opponent attacks from. In addition to his unparalleled defense, his Adding assists is also regarded as the secret weapon of Manchester United's game.

Technical characteristics: Keane plays the role of the soul of the team in Ferguson's 442 system. He likes to use his fierce eyes to deal with opponents. Perhaps it is because he has practiced boxing since he was a child. Keane is on the court. It's as ferocious as a tiger descending from the mountain. Although Keane is a right-footed player, he also has a chilling left foot. Keane is good at striking out with his spicy right foot when fighting with his opponent while also stepping forward with his left foot to block the opponent's passing route. Usually in this situation, he can maintain the balance of his body as much as possible so that he can immediately Converting a defensive effort into United's attack. Although passing is not Keane's biggest feature, he will also use his familiarity with reading the game to find favorable spaces to create opportunities for the team. Many times, Keane also uses his indestructible deterrence to deflect the ball from The team's penalty area has been brought to the opponent's penalty area and then the shooting task is completed personally. Keane, who has all-round qualities, is also excellent in air defense. He may not be as tall as his opponents, but his advantages in positioning and judgment allow him to often block the best air ball routes. Once the opponent breaks through his defense with difficulty, Keane can also rely on his bloody shoveling skills to carry out the final interference, and he is therefore regarded as the most perfect defensive midfielder in today's football.

Disadvantages: Keane’s biggest problem is his bad temper. His strong vodka-like character often worries his coach, and fans believe that Keane’s character determines his performance on the court. Ability, so violent temper created a Keane who is feared on the court.

Ferguson called Keane, who sits in the defensive midfielder, "the never-ending heartbeat of Manchester United." It was his perseverance and dedication that enabled the Red Devils to win the Triple Crown. In 2000, due to his outstanding performance in the 1999-2000 season, Keane was named the Player of the Year by British football experts and football reporters. Indeed, a versatile midfielder like Roy Keane is what any coach would like to have. Although he can play as a right back or a central midfielder in old-fashioned tactics, his first choice is still the defensive midfielder. Whether in the national team or in club competitions, Keane can put all his energy into formidable tackles. Keane, who was once an amateur boxer, was nicknamed "Shovel" because of his defensive bravery. , (I don’t think it is an elegant nickname), and in view of his assists at critical moments and the role of goals in stabilizing the morale of the military, people also call him the "Manchester United Iron Gate". But Keane, who has a bad temper, fierce style and his own way, is like a bottle of strong wine. If he controls it well, it will be very mellow. If he cannot control it well, he will often make his team drunk.

His "Albertini-style falling leaf ball", which has repeatedly achieved extraordinary feats, left an indelible impression on the fans. Since he has played loyally for AC Milan for 14 years, many people regard him as the only player who can inherit the mantle of "Milan standard bearer" Baresi, but in the end he was ruthlessly abandoned by the Rossoneri.
