Rice, 25, in turn, called for there to be more “positivity” ahead of games and to boost the “confidence” of the players.
However, Keane has argued that modern players such as Rice have become more “delicate” to criticism.
The former Manchester United star made his feelings clear as he insisted that if the England players improve, they will get praise.
Speaking on ITV, he said: “I definitely think the modern player seems to be a bit more delicate to criticism.
“There is more of it with social media particularly, I judge these players by actions.
“We know how quickly football changes if England get on a good run of form.
“Declan Rice is talking about ‘show us some love’ come on, it is serious stuff.
“Some people have made sacrifices, you get the love back when you perform.
