http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736, after the mercurial Manchester United forward missed out on his country’s first two matches in the ongoing European Championships due to
a suspension.
The 26-year old featured in the Three Lions last Group D fixture against co-hosts http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 on Tuesday and made an immediate impact, netting the decisive goal in his side’s 1-0 win to help them advance into the quarterfinals.
The maverick striker has so far capped 75 international appearances for England and scored 29 goals during this period.
He picked up a red card during his country’s Euro qualifier against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015.
With the striker getting back into the international limelight following his match winning performance against Ukraine, he has already won the plaudits of his skipper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196 and manager Roy Hodgson, who think that the player holds the key to the
Three Lions chances of hoisting their first ever Euro title.
Dalglish’s opinion about the striker was no different, as he believes that he is currently one of the best footballers in the world, who can swing the results in England’s favour by his sheer brilliance and outstanding talent.
While talking to reporters, the Kop legend said: “I have heard some people saying that too much importance is being placed on the return of Rooney after suspension. Really? Let me tell you something: Rooney has few peers in the world game.”
“Rooney has every ingredient you need to be a great player and one of the most important of those is that he has retained his love of playing football.”
However, the 61-year old also dismissed the notion that the Three Lions were a one-man team, insisting instead that they possessed some of the finest players in the squad.
When asked what he thought would be Rooney’s best playing position in the national team, the Scott responded by saying that he could fill in any slot and felt that he will be ‘as fresh as a daisy’ for the rest of the tournament.
