Manchester United and England striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Montenegro-c2959.
As a result, Rooney will now miss out on the opening two games for the Three Lions; http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015. His absence could prove to be fatal for England as manager Roy Hodgson will be left with no choice but to field a relatively inexperienced side.
Rooney said in an interview:
“It is the price I have to pay for making that mistake. It happened and I have to accept it. I will just prepare myself as if I was playing and hopefully come back into a winning team.”
It is expected that Rooney will be given a more prominent role under Roy Hodgson, as he is now one of the senior players, especially in the absence of the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Barry-c14423, who are all sidelined with various injuries.
After the departure of Italian manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello, Rooney was amongst the players who were in favour of an English manager. While he was initially in favour of bringing in Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp, he seems to be happy with the appointment
of Roy Hodgson.
He revealed:
“When you have a change of manager, regardless who it is, you always think they might be looking to bring fresh players in. He said straight away he would take me, which was nice to here.
Already you can see he is very organised, which is something we have lacked during my time with England.”
The current http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 team have been dubbed underdogs in the European tournament and not much is expected from them. However, Rooney believes his side have the quality to surprise everyone and emerge victors at the end of the competition.
In reference to the many changes Hodgson has made to the squad, the Red Devils forward was certain they would only improve England’s chances to perform well on the international stage.
Rooney continued:
“But when you look at our squad, I don't see why can't win it. There have been a lot of changes but I will expect big things.”
