LA Galaxy striker has been a crucial part of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giovanni-c14985 Trapattoni’s plans and has made sure that anyone underestimating the Irish will be in for a surprise.
Trapattoni’s men will be taking on Croatia in the first match of Group C on 10th June, and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robbie-Keane-c31215 has not held back in voicing his opinion over the Irish storm that awaits their opponents in this European Championship.
Keane conceded that a victory against the Vatreni is on the agenda, but stated that it will not be an easy game, who under Slaven Bilic have made a name for themselves for being a gritty and have an “in your face” attitude.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Republic-of-Ireland-c2987 have had a very impressive stage to qualification, remaining unbeaten in their last 15 matches. This amazing run has instilled a great deal of confidence in the players and they are seeking to continue this
rich vein of form into the European Championships.
When quizzed over the possible perspective the team will adopt ahead of their matches in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983, Keane reflected that they would not be looking far ahead into the future, but will be taking each match as it comes.
"It's [winning against Croatia] vitally important. Of course in any competition, you want to start off straight away as well as you can and try to get points on the board because we know that in the group, anybody can beat anybody.
We just have to take each game as it comes, as we always say.”
He further stated that his team would be looking to extend their winning run against Croatia, and are concentrating solely on the match against them at the moment. Keane also felt that the Boys in Green would be able to pull off
a few surprises with their work ethic and team discipline.
When inquired further about his aspirations for the tournament and whether they could mirror the achievements of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908 in 2004, the Ireland captain stated that he was hopeful that was the case. He further went on to state:
"Listen, we are not coming to this competition to make the numbers up. We are here to do as well as we can for the country and hopefully go as far as we can.”
