🚨 Roy Keane on Ronald Koeman stepping down after the Netherlands' FIFA World Cup Round of 16 defeat to Morocco:
🗣️ “Stepping down doesn't change what happened. This Dutch team had more than enough quality to go much further, but when the pressure came, they lost their way. That's on the manager and it's on the players.”
“You can talk about tactics all day, but I saw a team that lacked leadership, discipline and personality when it mattered most. At a World Cup, that's simply not good enough.”
“Koeman has taken responsibility by stepping aside, and I respect that. But this campaign will still be remembered as a huge disappointment for Dutch football. The standards at the Netherlands are far higher than what we saw.”
“Credit to Morocco,they were outstanding. They showed courage, belief and togetherness from the first minute to the last. They deserved to go through.”
“For the Netherlands, this has to be a wake-up call. Talent means nothing if you don't fight for every ball, stay disciplined and show character in the biggest moments. That's what wins football matches.”
