West Ham Dynamo Antonio Blasts Man Utd Legend Keane – Twitter Explodes with Controversy
In response to criticism of West Ham forward Roy Keane’s podcast, Michail Antonio took aim at the “dinosaur mentality” of the Manchester United icon.
The former midfielder for the Republic of Ireland had strong feelings on players who are still in the middle of their careers and podcast about sport.
Keane: If you lose, I don’t think you should laugh for a week or two.
In an interview with Stick To Football, Man Utd great Keane stated, “I think that [podcasts] can be a distraction for a player, particularly if you’re on the back of a defeat and you’re in the next day and everyone is having a bit of a laugh,” without mentioning Antonio. If you’ve been beaten, I don’t think you should laugh for a week or two.
Since 2021, Antonio has shared co-hosting duties for the BBC’s Footballers’ Football podcast with Tom Cairney, a midfielder for Fulham, and Callum Wilson, a striker for Newcastle.
Antonio added, “It’s dinosaur mentality because when he [Keane] was playing, every manager, every fan, everybody, constantly said, ‘Focus on your football,'” in response to a question concerning Keane’s remarks in his most recent podcast.
You are only permitted to think about football when you go to sleep with a football in your arms. Don’t play football with your kids; your wife takes care of them. That was the situation while he was playing.
The players who played with him eventually went bankrupt, of course, because football was their only focus. Football players can obviously focus on their game, but they can also focus on other areas, like business, fashion, or even becoming rappers. People give attention to other things.
“Why shouldn’t I do this if I have the time to do it? Regarding the podcast, I recognize that it’s not appropriate to wallow in sadness for two weeks because there will be another game the following week if you were beaten over the weekend, as I was. It’s intended that you move past the events of the previous weekend and move on the following week.
Because they are told they should suffer for two weeks straight because they were beaten over the weekend, many athletes suffer from mental health issues as a result. No, you take care of it. When you depart and for that evening, you feel depressed.
