Stephen Kenny says he is ‘not concerned about myself at the moment’ after defeat in Athens
“It sounds very easy but you have to do it in the game. Plenty of times in the first half we had our full backs arriving in areas to put the Republic of Ireland back.”
“This team understands all this quickly and I am happily surprised because in a club training every day that can take you six or seven months, and here we trained four or five days and we are able to have the players to embrace it.” “And then there were other games where depending on the result you become the Republic of Ireland, with all due respect. You depend on a corner, you depend on a long ball, you depend on fighting for second and third balls.
In stark contrast to how Kenny approaches post-match communication, Poyet seized the narrative by delivering a speech before any questions could be asked by the media.
