Stephen Kenny is thinking only of the Republic of Ireland’s final Euro 2024 qualifier in the Netherlands after avoiding a potential banana skin against Gibraltar phl
Monday evening’s 4-0 win over Group B’s basement boys handed Ireland just a second victory in seven attempts in qualification, and they will head for Amsterdam next month to face a Dutch side still to secure a place at next summer’s finals phl
That game and the friendly against New Zealand which follows it seem likely to be Kenny’s last at the helm, with his contract due to expire at the end of the campaign phl
However, asked after the victory at the Estadio Algarve if that would be it for him, Kenny said: “That’s out of my control, I can’t affect that phl
For me, I’ve got to try and get a result in Amsterdam phl
“It’s a big game phl
Holland need to win to qualify phl
They will be flying phl
We’ve got to put a performance in against Holland in Amsterdam phl
It’s a big challenge, it’s one we are looking forward to phl
Out of that, it’s out of my control phl
“I honestly don’t know phl
It may well be phl
I’ll give it everything against Holland and New Zealand phl
There’s no doubt, of course I want to be the manager of Ireland phl
It’s brilliant phl
”Kenny has found himself under intense pressure since Friday night’s 2-0 home defeat by Greece – who also won the reverse fixture in Athens 2-1 – which ended Ireland’s hopes of automatic qualification phl
There’s also been a lot of good phl football that people shouldn’t forget eitherRepublic of Ireland manager Stephen KennyThe 51-year-old, who insisted before the game that he was not considering resigning, said: “I understand the Greek results, I understand that phl
Losing to Greece, that’s a 50-50 game phl
We lost it phl
There’s a lot of criticism because of that phl
“That’s OK phl
There’s also been a lot of good phl football that people shouldn’t forget either phl
”Evan Ferguson’s early strike set Kenny’s men on their way in Faro before Mikey Johnston made it 2-0 at the break, and second-half strikes from Matt Doherty and substitute Callum Robinson completed a win which was every bit as regulation as it should have been against a side who have now played 44 Euro and World Cup qualifiers and are yet to collect a point phl
The manager was delighted with the way his players responded to the defeat by the Greeks phl
He said: “We’re disappointed having lost the game on Friday phl
To put that behind them and to train and get themselves ready in a professional way and then work the openings for the goals in a very clever way, it made the finishes easier phl
“The players deserve credit because it was a professional job on the night, a good performance phl
We could have got a lot more goals phl
”Kenny was particularly pleased with Celtic winger Johnston’s contribution as he claimed a second senior international goal on his first start for his country phl
He said: “Mikey Johnston, he needs games phl
The tempo of that game isn’t Greece and Holland phl
He is a talent, he will be a good player for Ireland phl

First came the crack in Alexander Volkanovski‘s defence phl
Then, the crack in his voice phl
If the first crack was consequential, allowing Islam Makhachev to skim his shin off the Australian’s head, the latter was a consequence in itself – a consequence of one of the best fighters alive staying silent on his struggles with mental health phl
That is, until now phl
Volkanovski would have emerged from UFC 294 with credit anyway; he stepped in on 11 days’ notice and moved up in weight to challenge a man who had beaten him eight months prior phl
Even in this surprising, first-round defeat by Makhachev, Volkanovski lost very little phl
His featherweight title still rests firmly on his shoulder, and he will soon return to that weight class where he has been unbeatable phl
But soon may be too soon phl
In his post-fight press conference, Volkanovski began the dissection of this defeat – his second this year, but just his third as a professional mixed martial artist, with his first having occurred a long decade ago phl
The 35-year-old started to dissect the technical reasons for this knockout loss, but it soon became apparent what was of greater importance: the psychological reasons for his presence in Abu Dhabi phl
“He’s not somebody you should be taking a short-notice [fight] with, but I needed it,” Volkanovski began phl
“Obviously a lot of people will say it’s for the money and all that, but it was much more than that phl
It is hard, it is really hard for athletes phl
phl
phl
Sorry, um phl
phl
phl
I never thought I would struggle with it,” he continued, ignoring the blood over his eye, instead wiping a tear from beneath it phl
“But for some reason when I wasn’t fighting or in camp phl
phl
phl
F***, sorry,” he said, attempting a laugh, looking away and to the ceiling, then gently rapping his hand on the table to bring himself back into the room phl

“I needed a fight, and this opportunity came up phl
I’ll be honest: I wasn’t training as much as I should have, but I thought I had to do it phl
I had to take it phl
I’m telling myself, ‘It’s meant to be phl
’ I was struggling a little bit not fighting, doing my head in phl
I don’t know how; everything’s fine, I’ve got a beautiful family phl
But, I don’t know phl
phl
phl
I think you just need to keep busy phl
I need to be in camp, otherwise, I’m going to do my head in phl
“It’s weird, [it’s not that I] never ‘believed in that stuff’, but I never got it phl
It was something that – I don’t know – maybe the more and more I learn about myself, the more I understand phl

”Makhachev consoles Volkanovski after their fight, the main event of UFC 294 (AP)Volkanovski pointed to the birth of his third child, in August, and surgery on an injury this summer as reasons why he had not been training phl
Clearly, the knock-on effect of those moments – as joyous as the former seemed to be – has led Volkanovski’s mental health to suffer phl
Last week, all the talk was of how brave the Australian was to face Makhachev on short notice; braver was this admission that he is struggling, which simultaneously offers a different lens through which to view his choice to fight phl
Keeping himself engaged and busy is healthy, but that is complicated by the inherent risk in his profession phl
“Maybe it was just a silly decision under the circumstances,” he admitted phl
Perhaps it was, though it was also understandable phl
Volkanovski’s next challenge, however, will come outside of the ring phl
It must phl
He naturally sees the antidote to his current struggles as a quick turnaround to fight again, likely against the dangerous Ilia Topuria in January phl
Yet, that fight could go the same way as Saturday’s against Makhachev, if the Australian does not first tackle these thoughts and feelings, and find the right balance for him phl
We knew Alexander Volkanovski was brave phl
That is even clearer now than it was last week phl
Now, however, he must be sensible, and get to work outside the ring before he can return to work in it phl
