Gavin Cooney IRELAND BOSS HEIMIR Hallgrimsson spoke enthusiastically of Robbie Keane ’s speech to the Irish players this week, as the nation’s record goalscorer presented the Irish players with their international caps.
Great to have Ireland’s record goalscorer Robbie Keane in camp last night for our annual caps presentation 🇮🇪 Advertisement “Yeah, he had a good speech”, said Hallgrimsson. “The players were asking him questions. I think it is good to connect past players, the legends from the past to the present. What was really good was how he, as a goal scorer and a really high profile player at his time, was talking about the importance of team unity, fighting for each other, team spirit.
Nathan Collins, sitting beside Hallgrimsson at today’s pre-match press conference, added, “As a kid growing up, these are the players you watch. You watch him every international camp, you watch him score his goals for Ireland. Shane Duffy, Seamus Coleman, and Adam Idah have already been forced to withdraw for injury, and there are further injury concerns over Andrew Moran, Festy Ebosele, and Dara O’Shea. They will be assessed after this afternoon’s training session.
