The last three Premier League rounds have been 2 defeats and 1 draw, which has changed Manchester United's already good competition for the fourth place. Watching Kane create a red card and score a penalty, he will take Tottenham to the Red Devils in the table.
It was Manchester United's academy trained iron guard Keane, who concocted a red card and scored a world wave long-range shot in the 90th minute of the game, which dragged down the progress of the north London powerhouse and helped Manchester United a lot.
01. The football life of the Keane brothers: Embarked on two different paths
At Manchester United, the name Keane has a special meaning
When it comes to the name Keane, while labelling Manchester United, countless people think of the Irish tough guy.
Roy Keane was not only the famous father of Manchester City who smashed Haaland, but he was also the captain of the 20th-century British team under Alex Ferguson.
Almost 10 years later, when the elder Keane had already hung up his boots, in Manchester United's youth academy, a pair of Keane brothers appeared.
In the 2009 Milk Cup, Manchester United's youth team made it all the way to the top podium. In that team, there was a pair of twin brothers, which attracted a lot of attention.
b. The Keane Brothers: A Different Life in Football
The first one who was more anticipated was his younger brother Will Keane. He was Manchester United's top scorer in the 2009 Milk Cup and was selected for the England international youth squad at various levels.
Not only did he get a professional contract earlier than his brother, but he also scored 13 goals in 23 games in the 2009-10 season, winning the Jimmy Murphy trophy of the year, the symbol of the best academy player.
Once known as the new Sheringham, Will Keane was given high hopes. Sir Alex Ferguson let him train with the first team when he was 18 and gave him the opportunity to play.
Unfortunately, after a few games, the first ball has not yet come, but bad luck knocked on the door first. In the summer of 2012, while playing for England's youth team, he suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury that kept Will Keane off the pitch for a full year.
Even if he returns to the stadium, the option of loan awaits him. From 2013 to 2016, Manchester United arranged for him to go to 47 Championship games, but scored only 4 goals, and the former supernova went to mediocrity due to injury.
After the defeat at Hull City, he even appeared in League One. Last season, I went to League One side Ipswich United, scoring 26 goals and 6 assists in 44 games, and finally let people vaguely see the appearance of Sheringham's successor.
With the team in the Championship, 10 goals and 3 assists in 37 games this season, he is about to be 30 years old and can finally remind many people of his name.
In contrast, his brother Michael Keane, who was once by his side, although his talent is not as good as his younger brother, he is not a generic person, and has been highly praised by his predecessor Ferdinand.
The development over the years is not impressive, but it has been stable. He was selected for the England national team and became Everton's deputy team, which is also a generation of Premier League stars.
02. From Manchester United's best player in reserve to deputy of the Premier League team
a. Tried to have high hopes from Rio Ferdinand: winning the Premier League with Manchester United
While his brother was already in the United first team, his brother was still playing for the United reserves. In 2012, he beat Jesse Lingard by 60% of the vote to be named Manchester United's Reserve Team Player of the Year in 2012.
'It's great to win the award, it's fantastic to have the support of the fans, who have come to see us all season and support the team.' This is Michael Keane's acceptance speech.
Because it is difficult to ensure consistent playing time in the first team of Manchester United, Michael Keane, like his brother, is also on loan. He has played for Leicester City, Derby County, Blackburn and other teams.
His performance has been recognized by many, with Leicester manager Persson once praised: "Keane has a bright future, he is very optimistic about Manchester United, and with him we have greatly improved the defensive standard of our team. ”
b. From England international, to Everton vice
Perhaps tired of spending time on loan and wandering, Michael Keane ended his Manchester United career in the winter window after being loaned to Burnley in 2014 and moving on permanent transfer in the 2015 winter window.
An Irish descendant, he played for the Irish youth team as a child, but chose England youth in 2012 and became an England international during his time at Burnley.
In the summer window of 2017, the England international centre-back moved to Everton for £30 million, and Manchester United received a second transfer share of £7.5 million.
This price equals Everton's all-time transfer fee record and makes him a defensive gate trusted by Dutch coach Koeman. After 6 years at Goodison Park, Keane has become one of the team's captains.
03. Make a big contribution to Manchester United: Acting with Kane is even more uneven in the world
a. Acting with Kane, and also staged a flat world wave
In the 29th round of the Premier League, Everton faced Tottenham Hotspur at home that desperately needed three points to reach the Champions League.
However, the home side also need to win to escape the relegation zone, and Everton had the upper hand in this game.
As a result, Kane used his experience to open up the situation for the team.
It was obviously his foul action, and he played with the ball twice in a row, but when Doucoure could not suppress his anger, Kane decisively fell to the ground and created a red card for the opponent, allowing Tottenham to win the numerical advantage.
Then in Tottenham's attack, Keane made a big mistake. After nodding the ball back to the middle of the box, Cristiano Romelo took the ball first, Keane made a somewhat hasty kick, brought the opponent down, and was whistled for a penalty.
Kane hit the penalty to give Tottenham a 1-0 lead away from home.
Tottenham's great situation of leading and one more man at the same time remained until the 88th minute of the game, when Keane completed his own rescue in a desperate situation and began his one-man drama.
When Lucas's header was directly intercepted by Keane, the latter made a hot head-up and the studs stepped directly on Keane's ankle.
The latter immediately fell to the ground in pain and the referee decisively showed a red card. Similar to Kane, the England international, who was already in pain, immediately got up and went into the game.
Entering injury time, seeing Tottenham about to take away three points, Keane again. With a thunderous blast from the ground, he sent the ball into the bottom of the net and helped Everton recover a point in the final moments.
b. Helped Manchester United a lot: also got Everton out of the relegation zone
In the game, he contributed 1 blocking shot, 4 clearances, 1 key tackle, and won 6 of 10 one-on-one matches, creating a red card and scoring Keane, who was a world draw and scored the highest score of the game.
The goal was worth a fortune, not only putting Everton one more point above the relegation zone, but also putting Manchester United on the same level as Tottenham with two games less.
Michael Keane's magical last-minute performance not only helped the home side Everton, but also benefited the academy parent Manchester United.
Conclusion:
The advantage of a big team is not only in the high income, luxurious lineup, but also countless youth players scattered in the world. In their hearts, they always have a special affection for the parent team.
Whether Keane is doing his best for Everton's relegation, at least the moment he celebrates, Manchester United fans will be willing to send more applause.
