Tunnel Incident and Leadership

Roy Keane recounts a pivotal moment in the tunnel before a match against Arsenal. He describes how he lost his temper when he perceived his teammate Gary Neville was being bullied by the opposing players. Keane emphasizes that while intimidation is legitimate in football, he views the actions of the Arsenal players as outright bullying, particularly targeting someone he saw as a weaker player. This incident set the stage for a deeper reflection on what it means to be a leader and protector of teammates, contrasting the idea of bullying versus intimidation on the pitch.
