Wayne Rooney relishing opportunity to help Manchester United beat Manchester City in Community Shield game
Manchester United striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 has gone on to admit that he is raring to go up against Manchester City in the community Shield game, this coming Sunday.
The player has admitted that losing to their arch rivals in the semi-finals of the FA Cup last season has gone on to take a toll on him and he is looking to redeem himself and United, by beating City.
Rooney also admitted that this upcoming Community Shield game could potentially be the best one he has ever participated in, as it has two of the biggest teams in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 going up against each other.
Rooney, when talking about the upcoming game is quoted to have said: “Playing City in the Community Shield is the best way to start”
He then talked about just how big the game is going to be, as he added:
“I hadn’t even thought about it until I turned on the telly the other night and someone was talking about potentially the best Community Shield ever.
“It’s a great way to start pre-season training, knowing that at the end of the hard work, before the games begin, there’s a Manchester derby.
“You couldn’t get better motivation to start the season with a bang.”
Rooney then went on to admit that the new names that City had signed, could make this game much harder than it has ever been to go up against their opponents, but he wasn’t going to hold anything back, as he took on the team.
Both City and United have been in fine form in the pre season and so far, the teams look unbeatable. Nonetheless, with the Community Shield being the first competitive game of the season for both teams, it is going to be a real test and display of which
team has actually gone on to make the better signings in the summers.
Nonetheless, what is interesting about Rooney’s comments, is the fact that they contradict http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s words about the game. The United manager has stated that despite this game being a competitive one, it doesn’t change the fact that at the end of the
day, it is still a pre season game and can be nothing more than a stepping stone to the Premier League season.
Despite that fact, both City and United are already looking like they are eager to take on each other, which is going to make this Sunday’s Community Shield game a must watch, for every football fan.
