‘He’s the right one to take over’: Wayne Rooney earmarks Declan Rice as next England captain | Football News

Published by Webster

Former England forward had high praises for Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice, earmarking him as the next England captain once the current skipper Harry Kane hangs up his boots. Rice has been instrumental in helping Arsenal stay atop the premier League table heading into the new year. “For me, he’s the one who’s probably waiting for Harry (Kane) to hang up his boots at some point. He’s the right one to take over (Kane) for me, because of his drive, his personality. Everyone seems to love him, who knows him, who’s close to him. He’s irreplaceable for England,” Rooney said in a BBC video. “He was all over the pitch. His decision-making — when to pass it, where to pass it, what foot to pass it to, his detail on his pass — it was a pleasure to watch. He was absolutely incredible. He was splitting centre-backs, taking the ball off Arsenal’s centre-backs, acting as a third centre-back, then next minute he’s in the box, trying to score a goal. Sometimes, some of the stuff he …

‘I got death threats’: Wayne Rooney opens up about his transfer to Manchester United from Everton in 2004 | Football News

Published by Webster

Former Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has said that he received death threats after he left and joined the 20-time English champions from Everton in 2004. The 40-year-old, who ended his career as the club’s leading goal scorer, said that he needed to have immense mental strength to deal with such actions and was clear about what he wanted in his career. Rooney played for United from 2004 to 2017, winning five Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2008. “I got death threats. My parents’ house was getting spray painted and smashed up. My girlfriend at the time, wife now, her house was getting spray painted. I think that’s where you have to be mentally strong. The people around you have to help.” “Leaving was difficult because I went to Manchester United, and Liverpool and Manchester was a big rivalry so that made it a lot more difficult. But I was always of a mindset of ‘I don’t care’. I knew what I wanted and I knew how to get there.” “I had …

Wayne Rooney urges Liverpool boss Arne Slot to show his authority to Egyptian

Published by Webster

After the explosive interview where the star Liverpool footballer Mohamed Salah burst out against the manager and the team management, accusing the club of not keeping promises made to him when signing a new contract last season, former England and Manchester United footballer Wayne Rooney said the masterful Egyptian is destroying his own legacy. “He is absolutely destroying his legacy at Liverpool,” said Rooney on the latest episode of his podcast, ‘The Wayne Rooney Show’. “It would be sad for him to throw it all away. He’s gone about it all wrong.” Salah was benched for the match against Leeds, which was his third straight game where manager Arne Slot didn’t include the veteran in Liverpool’s starting XI. Earlier, Salah was not included in the starting XI in the Premier League games against West Ham United and Sunderland. After the Leeds match, Salah reportedly chose to speak with a group of journalists in the mixed zone, clearly in a mood to vent his frustrations, claiming sensationally that his relationship with manager Arne Slot has now broken …

‘I don’t think they’ve really led that team this season’: Wayne Rooney slams Virgil Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah for Liverpool’s slump in form | Football News

Published by Webster

Former Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has said that the likes of Virgil Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah have not played like leaders for Liverpool after signing new contracts. The 40-year-old said that both players were showing different body language as compared to before, and that could impact the rest of the team as well. The Reds suffered their fourth successive Premier League defeat on Saturday, losing 2-3 to Brentford away from home. They are currently in seventh place on the points table, with 15 points in nine matches. “Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, they’ve signed new deals but I don’t think they’ve really led that team this season. I think body language tells you a lot, and I think we’re seeing slightly different body language from the two of them. They are the top two players in that team and if their body language is not right, that affects everyone else,” Rooney said on BBC’s “The Wayne Rooney Show”.

Wayne Rooney after Erling’s penalty decision in Man City’s FA Cup final loss to Palace

Published by Webster

Manchester City’s last bid for silverware this season ended on Saturday after they were handed a shock 1-0 loss by Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium in the FA Cup final. Despite spending nearly 200 million Euros in the January transfer window to rescue their season, City have fallen short in the Premier League, Champions League and now the FA Cup. Omar Marmoush had a first-half penalty saved by Henderson as City lost in the Cup final for a second successive season, summing up a harrowing campaign in which they have been dethroned as the powerhouse of English football and will go without a domestic trophy for the first time since 2016-17. Erling Haaland, City’s usual penalty taker, handed the ball to Marmoush with 10 minutes left in the first half and Palace 1-0 up after Eberechi Eze’s early goal, but Henderson guessed correctly to deny him.
