Video: Irish Assistant Boss Roy Keane Gets Some Tips From Barcelona
Republic of Ireland assistant boss Roy Keane has been picking up some handy tips (we hope!) as he watched European giants Barcelona train ahead of their visit to Dublin.
Keane took notes as he watched Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Arda Turan and the rest of the Barca squad being put through their paces ahead of the start of the season.
The Blaugrana have been training at the FA's National Football Centre, St George's Park, ahead of their visit to Dublin this Saturday where they will take on Celtic in the International Champions Cup at the Aviva Stadium.
Keane aided manager Martin O'Neill as they took the Boys in Green as far as the last-16 at Euro 2016 last June but that is now firmly in the past.
Irish football's brains trust will be putting a plan into action for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers which they kick off against Serbia in September after the friendly against Oman at the end of the month.
