Should Rooney calm down?
Should Rooney calm down?
There is the argument that Wayne Rooney plays his football with passion and that when this passion for winning gets too much he boils over into a fury. I think I’d be the same if I had as much passion for football as Rooney does.
Rooney, quite obviously gets very upset when things don’t go his way on the pitch - personally I think the media make such a big thing about his temper that it’s these stories and hype that sometimes get him in trouble on the pitch.
If you think about it, the more newspapers and TV programs bang on about how bad tempered and out of control Rooney is, the more people start believing it. And I think this is a bad thing for the referees because they over react to situations along with other players complaining about each other’s conduct. Just get on with the football - like Rooney - that’s all he’s interested in doing…
Sir Alex Ferguson has commented on the whole Rooney incident from the game at Fulham: “The ball was thrown to where the free-kick was being taken - did it hit the referee? No.”
“But there’s no point talking about the referee - we didn’t play well enough in the first half and that’s why we lost.”
“It’s disappointing we didn’t meet the challenge. If you lose games in March and April it can cost you. Fortunately we have a slender lead at the moment but not a lot and I’m hoping we come back from the internationals back to our best.”
