Rooney trung thành với áo số 10

Nhắc đến chiếc áo số 7, người hâm mộ nhớ ngay tới những huyền thoại vĩ đại của sân Old Trafford như George Best, Eric Cantona, David Beckham hay Bryan Robson. Rất có thể Rooney sẽ được trao lại số áo mang nhiều ý nghĩa này sau khi Ronaldo gia nhập Real Madrid với phí chuyển nhượng 80 triệu bảng.
Thế nhưng tiền đạo đội tuyển Anh đã quyết định trung thành với chiếc áo số 10 vì đối với anh đây là số áo đã mang lại cho anh nhiều thành công. Ngoài ra những tên tuổi như Denis Law, Bobby Charlton, Dennis Viollet cũng từng nổi danh với áo đấu có số 10 ở sau lưng.
“Trong làng bóng đá quốc tế, chiếc áo số 10 luôn được ưa thích hơn bởi nó từng được những huyền thoại bóng đá thế giới như Pele hay Maradona mặc”, một nguồn tin từ M.U cho biết. “Wayne coi đó là một niềm tự hào được mặc áo số 10 của Man United”.
Với sự ra đi của Ronaldo, Rooney đã trở thành người chiến thắng trong trái tim các fan “ruột” của Quỷ đỏ. Những màn trình diễn tuyệt vời của anh trong màu áo M.U cũng như đội tuyển Anh, nhất là ở hai chiến thắng trước Kazakhstan và Andorra tại vòng loại World Cup 2010 đã cho thấy sự đa năng của cầu thủ này. Giờ đây Sir Alex hoàn toàn có thể xếp anh chơi ở hàng tiền vệ trong những trường hợp cần thiết thay vì vị trí tiền đạo sở trường.
Dù có chơi ở khu vực nào trên sân thì giờ đây các CĐV đều tin tưởng Rooney chính là số 10 huyền thoại tại Nhà hát của những giấc mơ.

Wayne Rooney leads the slaughter as England hit cruise control

WAYNE ROONEY'S double inspired England to a six-goal demolition of hapless Andorra - the perfect reward for the 58,000 fans who defied the Tube strike to be at Wembley.
Second-half substitute Jermain Defoe also scored twice as Fabio Capello's men all but guaranteed their place in the 2010 World Cup Finals in South Africa.

It was England's biggest win in a competitive game - if you could call the Andorra side competitive - since 1999 but Capello refused to get carried away.
He said: "You have to win another game to be sure of going to South Africa. We have created a group. This is important, the spirit of the group. We always play to win."

Capello also praised the supporters who got to the stadium despite the tube strike.
He said: "I am very happy for the fans, very happy for the people that stayed here. I am happy today.".
Anything other than victory over an Andorra side ranked 196th in the world was never seriously considered.
Now though, after hitting their part-time opponents for six at Wembley, just as they did against Luxembourg a decade ago, the Three Lions know a win against Croatia on September 9 will seal a place at next year's World Cup with two games to spare.

And if England make it, Fabio Capello will want Rooney in the same form as he has showed this season, his latest brace enough for him to streak clear in the World Cup qualifying sharp-shooters table with eight goals.
Frank Lampard's effort was sandwiched in between and half-time substitute Defoe scored twice in as many minutes before Peter Crouch netted his 14th goal in 16 international starts to take England's overall tally to 26.

ROO ARE YOU - Wayne Rooney celebrates his goals for England
Defoe could be particularly pleased with his cameo, Rooney was the name on supporters lips as they began a journey home somewhat more testing than anything Andorra provided for their team.
In a bid to get the most out of Rooney, Capello came up with a rather simplistic hint for the Manchester United striker, get in front of the goal.
While it would be slightly silly to offer Sir Alex Ferguson any advice, given the wider role he was given at Old Trafford, Capello's way is better.

Certainly the statistics, eight goals in seven World Cup matches compared to 12 in an entire Premier League season, seem to bear that theory out.
And, with possibly both Carlos Tevez and Cristiano Ronaldo heading out of the Red Devils camp this summer, Ferguson might have to rejig his forward line anyway.
It must have been particularly gratifying for the Italian to see Rooney drill home a couple of close-range efforts before the interval as England disposed of their part-time opponents with the minimum of fuss.
Indeed, there seems to be a touch of genius about Capello's entire management strategy given England are now consistently delivering performances of such assured confidence - a bad 35 minutes in Kazakhstan apart - it is difficult to believe they failed to score in the first-half of their last meeting with Andorra in September.
There was never any chance of such a stalemate this time around. Rooney could have been celebrating his hat-trick when Glen Johnson picked him out with a deep cross to head home his first.
That came after just four minutes, which tells you all you need

That came after just four minutes, which tells you all you need to know about whether this was a proper contest.

LAMP LIGHT - Frank Lampard celebrates his first-half goal
A smart turn on to Steven Gerrard's pass created Rooney's first opening, a deft chip that Koldo Alvarez did well to touch over the bar. The second was a more instinctive header that crashed back off the crossbar after Alvarez had denied Theo Walcott.
Peter Crouch and Gerrard might have scored in a little flurry around the 10 minute mark but England were made to wait almost until the half hour before finding the net again, Frank Lampard powerfully drilling home Walcott's cutback.
Lampard said: "It was not as easy as it looked that game - they just sat back We've found ourselves as a group. We always knew we had the individuals but were not working as a team. You can see the results on the pitch."

Lampard dedicated the result to the "incredible" supporters who made a potentially arduous journey to and from Wembley, and David Beckham added: "They deserved those goals because we all knew it wouldn't be easy to get to the game and those goals and the performance were for the fans."
Johnson was the provider for a momentous goal for Rooney, which allowed him to draw level with Sir Geoff Hurst as England's 12th highest scorer on 24.

For the record, Rooney also equalled Gary Lineker's record for the most goals in a single international season, 10.
As Rooney notoriously hates missing any football, he might not have taken his half-time substitution too well, particularly as the opposition suggested a first England hat-trick was on the cards.
However, in replacing both Rooney and Gerrard with Defoe and Ashley Young, Capello was able to have a decent look at a couple of the fringe players who hope to be on the flight to South Africa in 12 months' time.

Giấc mơ World Cup của Wayne Rooney15:36 8/6/2009

Rooney đã không giấu giếm sự vui mừng khi đội tuyển Anh gần như chắc suất ở Nam Phi mùa hè năm tới. Và ước mơ của chàng tiền đạo này là được nâng cao chiếc cúp vô địch thế giới, điều đã “lảng tránh” các chú sư tử Anh hơn 40 năm nay…Chiến thắng trước Andorra vào thứ 4 tuần này sẽ chính thức ghi tên đội tuyển Anh tại World Cup năm 2010 ở Nam Phi. Và trước viễn cảnh được tham dự ngày hội lớn nhất hành tinh này, tiền đạo của MU và đội tuyển Anh đã thổ lộ niềm khát khao được chơi bóng ở đấu trường thế giới và có cơ hội được cầm trên tay chiếc cúp vàng.“Dù chưa chắc chắn vượt qua vòng loại nhưng thú thực tôi đã nghĩ đến vòng chung kết World Cup từ lâu lắm rồi. Đó là giải đấu mà bất cứ cầu thủ nào cũng muốn tham dự và tôi sẽ làm mọi thứ để giành chiến thắng cùng đội tuyển”.
Rooney ghi bàn nâng tỷ số lên 3-0 trong trận gặp KazakhstanĐội tuyển Tam sư đã thắng Kazakhstan 4-0 vào thứ 7 tuần trước và đó là chiến thắng thứ 6 liên tiếp của họ. Sau khi trải qua các vòng loại đầy khó khăn trong các năm trước, giờ đây dưới sự chỉ đạo của HLV Fabio Capello, đội tuyển Anh đã dần trở thành 1 đội tuyển gắn kết, 1 tập thể vững mạnh biết thể hiện sức mạnh vốn có của mình.
Capello tạo nên 1 đội tuyển Anh đầy sức mạnhCơ hội lọt vào vòng chung kết World Cup 2010 của đội tuyển Anh là đến trên 99%! Điều mà người hâm mộ cần nhất là liệu họ có duy trì phong độ như hiện tại vào năm tới, để lặp lại chiến tích các bậc tiền bối đã làm năm 1966, giành chiếc cúp vô địch thế giới về xứ sở sương mù!

MANCHESTER CITY believe they have won a £42million race for Carlos Tevez and Gareth Barry.
The richest club in the world are ready to rubber-stamp a £32m deal to steal Tevez away from city rivals United. And they will offer £10m-rated Barry £90,000 a week to see off Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs.
The move for Argentinian striker Tevez, 25, also blows Liverpool and Chelsea out of the chase with City happy to meet Kia Joorabchian's £32m asking price.
Liverpool's bid for the former West Ham forward was the lowest offer received. Boss Mark Hughes will also pay Tevez nearly £140,000 a week in a four-year deal.
Joorabchian will have one final meeting with Old Trafford chiefs this week to find out whether Sir Alex Ferguson sees Tevez as anything more than a bit-part player.

Those assurances are unlikely - leaving the way clear for City.
Hughes is in the Middle East to talk about transfer targets with City's Abu Dhabi owners and has made it clear he sees Tevez as vital to the club.
City are much further down the road with Tevez than Barry. But they are confident their financial clout will get them the Aston Villa captain.
Liverpool felt they were in pole position after their abortive attempt to land Barry, 28, last summer.
But the Reds are unable to match the Arabs' vast wealth.Barry could yet decide he values Champions League football over money but Eastlands officials are confident of getting their man
