The Manchester United talisman reiterated that he has changed his behaviour and will no longer be experiencing outbursts such as the one at Upton Park last year.
Although one of the most talented footballers to have come through the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 is also well known for his attitude on the pitch which often lands him in hot water.
One of the most famed incidents and one that incurred the wrath of the Football Association took place against West Ham, when his precious United were close to giving up their lead in the title race.
Down 2-0 at half-time against the Hammers, Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson chose to send his troops out for a full on assault and made some sensational changes at the back.
Rooney was at the forefront of the attack and notched one of the most sensational hat-tricks the League had ever witnessed.
However, after equalizing through a penalty, the striker ran to the camera and uttered some foul words, obviously unable to contain himself in the excitement of the moment.
The Football Association on the other hand did not things lightly and punished the forward despite the player claiming his innocence.
A year after the unsavoury drama, Rooney claims that he has matured far enough and will not be participating in such outbursts ever again.
“I don't really want to miss games. I feel I have matured as a player and a person. You never say never, of course, because football is an emotional game, but I'd like to hope it won't. That was the biggest moment where I realised that was wrong and I need
to change. I have tried to do that and feel I have.”
The England International also revealed how his injury recovery was coming along, after suffering a nasty gash during the Old Trafford clash against Wigan Athletic.
“It is feeling good at the minute and is healing quite well, but it is basically down to the doctor. You have to be careful and I don't want to come back too soon because I could get a bang on it and it would open up again. We said at the time there was
a four-week scale and that would be the case, I imagine."
