Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Rio Ferdinand experienced the magnificent period at the end of the 2000s with Manchester United. Title in the Premier League, Champions League in 2008, the players of Sir Alex Ferguson were developing champagne football in Europe!
The one who is now the Derby County coach, did not mince his words about his former teammates, far from it. In a social dinner in Manchester, Rooney notably mentioned Cristiano Ronaldo and Rio Ferdinand. His remarks were transcribed in The SunBritish tabloid.
“Cristiano was very good but so boring at the same time. He’s probably not as good now, but he’s probably still just as boring.” And a spade, one.
He also returned to the day when Rooney was excluded from a World Cup match against Portugal following a foul on CR7: “I had no problem with Cristiano after that. I talked to him in the tunnel, told him I had no problem with him getting me sent off because I spent the first half trying to get him warned for his let’s dive.“
Rio Ferdinand has become a consultant on English television, Rooney has also cut a suit: “He was a top player but he’s just arrogantHe explains that he advised him several times to pass the ball to Ronaldo and himself more often: “He was a good teammate but sometimes he forgot he was a defender.”
The reunion meals promise to be nice on the Manchester side…
