Wayne Rooney used to be sometimes bad-tempered on the pitch, arguing with opponents and referees. However, off the pitch, the lad is obviously as laid back as it gets and straightforward to such levels that it’s hilarious. Especially when he talks about his former teammates and coaches like he did a few days ago.STELLA – RASING ABIDJAN So, to cut to the chase, let’s see what Rooney said about each of them…* About Cristiano Ronaldo:”Cristiano was so good and so f***ing annoying at the same time. He is probably not as good now, but he is probably just as annoying.”I am English, and he is Portuguese. When we are playing, I do not give a f*** about him. He is not my mate. But when we have finished, we are mates again.”Rooney and Ronaldo. 😂pic.twitter.com/ngxTKRcLnB— The CR7 Timeline. (@TimelineCR7) March 19, 2022 About Rio Ferdinand:”Rio is a top player, but he is just arrogant. You get paid a lot of money at Man United to kick the ball into the net, so just do it. I said: ‘Do your job, and give me the ball, give Ronaldo the ball. Stop standing there messing about.’ Rio is a top lad, but he sometimes did forget he was a defender.”Topic sorted for #VibeWithFive 😂❤️ https://t.co/V4CSxC48DU— Dr Rio Ferdinand (@rioferdy5) March 28, 2022 * About Carlos Tevez:”I used to pick him up from his house for Champions League games and drive him to the airport. We’d play the game and come back. And, honestly, I spoke to him for 30 minutes, and I had no idea what was coming out of his mouth.”He is just mumbling. I am not a great speaker, and I am thinking, ‘F***ing hell. He is mumbling and nothing, nothing’. “I was devastated. It was the biggest disappointment of my life.”Have you heard Tevez “speaking” English? 🤣— Aless 🦁 (@ajm92cr) December 11, 2021 * About Sir Alex Ferguson:”Sir Alex Ferguson tried to sign me when I was 14. He was on the phone with my mum and dad. They said, ‘Alex is on the phone, Manchester United want to sign you’. I said, ‘Tell him to f**** off. I want to play for Everton’.”Then, as time went on, I knew I had to play for Alex Ferguson. The reason I signed for United was Alex Ferguson.”Wazza and Fergie (©Getty images)* About Marcus Rashford:”What I hope is that Marcus Rashford f***ing gets his head out of his a**e and goes and breaks that record. He’s a Manchester lad.”
