Roy Keane has previous with Eden Hazard. The Republic of Ireland assistant manager wasn’t impressed with Hazard’s performances for Chelsea last season, and his hints at wanting a move away from Stamford Bridge.
Back in February, Keane referred to the Belgium captain as:
“A talented, talented boy but his attitude, even last night, he’s like a spoilt child. It’s absolutely ridiculous.”
When the subject of Hazard was raised at Wednesday’s Irish team press conference, ahead of Saturday’s game between against Belgium, Keane reiterated how he’d kick a player like the Belgian number 10 who has been seeking a transfer.
“If I had a team-mate who was constantly talking about leaving then I would kick them in training,” the 44-year-old said.

However, Keane conceded that he would have kicked a player in training, regardless of whether they wanted to leave the club or not.
“But I kicked most players in training, even those who didn’t want to leave.”
It appears Keane enjoyed kicking people.
