Former footballer Keane recently expressed his opinion about the potential distractions caused by podcasts for players, especially after a defeat. He emphasized the need for a serious approach following a loss, suggesting that players should refrain from laughing for a week or two after being beaten.
Although Keane did not mention any names, it was evident that he was alluding to players like Antonio, who has been involved in podcasting alongside other footballers. Antonio responded to Keane’s critique, defending modern footballers’ right to engage openly with the world.
He argued that the footballers of today can focus not only on their sport but also on other aspects of their lives, such as business, fashion, and other interests. Antonio defended the idea of footballers participating in podcasting and expressed his understanding that players need to move on from defeats and focus on improvement for the next match.
He reiterated his commitment to both his podcast and his football career, despite facing criticism. The Jamaican international player is scheduled to return to the pitch for an upcoming game, as his team strives for a top-half finish in the remaining matches of the season.
