ROY Keane believes that Ireland have no reason to take on Germany with fear in their hearts but he expects a sharp reaction from wounded professional footballers players after a bad defeat for Jogi Low's men in Warsaw.
"I don't think our lads would be in any way like that. I don't think they'd be fearful going into any game. If anything they'll look forward to it, it's what it's all about.," said Keane.
"It will be a brilliant atmosphere, playing against a top team. It's a different challenge than yesterday obviously as everyone was not only expecting us to win the game, it was about by how many goals."
"We're going into a wounded animal with Germany. That will be a test, of course it will be, but that's what we're here for.
"You would expect a reaction from top players and that's what they've got. And they've still got that quality whatever way you want to look at it."
