da aposte e ganhe： Roy Hodgson is looking forward to having Wayne Rooney back in the starting line-up and believes he is privileged to have a player of his quality at his disposal:
da bet7： “Wayne’s a quality player, a world-class player. His ability is a bit special. You’re lucky if you’re a manager of a national team to have players of his quality available. Hopefully, he’ll make life that bit easier for us going into the next game when we need another result.”
Hodgson has refuted talk that there is a weight of expectation on the shoulders of Wayne Rooney and believes that it is part and parcel of being a top class player:
“This is part of being a top, top player in an important national team. If you are Sweden it’s Ibrahimovic, if it’s Ukraine I’m sure it’s Shevchenko. If it’s England it’s about Rooney and Gerrard and if it’s France it’s about Ribéry and Nasri. You trust these players who have put up with this kind of pressure in their lives for a long time, and that they know how to deal with it.
“Wayne won’t need reminding if he plays well on Tuesday everybody will be saying fantastic things about him. If he misses a chance or two people will say other things. As a coach you can’t protect him, but the players know their job.” (Guardian)
