Wayne Rooney sometimes willingly wore the Manchester United captaincy and England national team. That is what the 34-year-old attacker from Derby County writes in his column for The Times.
“If players are not happy, they often go to the captain. And then you can pass on the complaint, ‘says Rooney. “That can make for difficult conversations. At one of the clubs I attended I had to tell the manager that his training was not good enough. That’s difficult. Sorry, trainer, but the boys find your workout sh * t. “
The Englishman, who currently plays under Phillip Cocu at Derby County, nevertheless considers it an honor to wear the band. ‘Suppliers are leading by example with their performance. A captain does not have to be the best player on the team, but must reach a constant level. You cannot show weaknesses and must always radiate faith. If you get a goal against, it’s your job to keep encouraging everyone. “
“You are always under a magnifying glass, even though I was used to that,” says Rooney. “A lot of stuff has been written about me since the age of sixteen. Half of that was my own fault. You have to grow there as a person. ”
