‘Strict and straight’ Keane gets the nod from Cisse

SUNDERLAND forward Djibril Cisse can see the lessons that coach Roy Keane has learnt from playing under Alex Ferguson for 12 years at Manchester United, and admitted moving to the north-east because he was impressed following one meeting with owner Niall Quinn.

The Irish pair have left Cisse with no regrets about his move to Wearside and the Frenchman is hoping to show enough class to make his loan move from Marseille into a permanent deal.

“If I am here, it’s because I believe in Roy Keane’s project,” Cisse said in an interview published in today’s France Football magazine.
