Roy Keane: 'We'll put 'em under pressure'

Roy Keane is happy enough to channel Jack Charlton but not remotely interested in invoking Thierry Henry, as Ireland close in on their mouthwatering European Championship knockout clash with hosts France in Lyon this afternoon.

“I think the expectation is on France to win the game but a lot of their players are playing for big clubs so I don’t think that’s something they won’t be used to,” said the assistant manager.

“That shouldn’t be a problem for a big player. The expectation to win a football match is a nice pressure.”
