Rooney: People think I hate Ronaldo, but on the contrary, I admire him very much

. This is also the reason why he can win five Golden Ball Awards and score goals at the age of 40. I think this mentality is unique.

But for me, it is always team first. So if I move to the left or retreat deeper to make the team win, I would be happy to do so. This is not a sacrifice, it is just doing what is most beneficial to the team.

Yes, this is the difference in mentality, right? You are born with a tendency toward the collective, and although he values ​​the collective, he also has an endless desire for personal excellence, which drives him.

is exactly the case. And there is nothing wrong with this. Because that desire prompted him to become stronger every day. I've seen it in training-he's always the first one to arrive and the last one to go. Even though he is already the top player, he is still practicing free kicks, penalty kicks, and shooting. This is why he can reach his current height.

You mentioned that there is a tacit understanding with Carlos. Is there a moment when you think, "Okay, this guy understands me, and I understand him too?"

has been there from the beginning. I felt this way in my first training session. We just know where the other person will run. Like me, he is a fighter and both hate failure. So when we fight side by side on the court, we not only play football for ourselves—but also for each other and for the team. This is why we can cooperate so well.

What's interesting is that the media also hyped that you two would have a conflict, but the facts were exactly the opposite.

The media loves to do this, doesn't it? But everyone in the locker room knew we had a good relationship. Let’s joke together, train hard together, and win games together. This is the most important thing.

Looking back now, what is the most beautiful memory that the forward trident left you?

Oh, too many. The most memorable thing is of course the 2008 Champions League championship. There are also moments to score goals and celebrate together. But perhaps the most precious thing is the feeling when training - as long as we step on the court, we know that we can create miracles. That kind of tacit understanding and belief is not often encountered in football.

Yes, this is the magic of those legendary teams, isn't it? You may have all the talents in the world, but without that cohesion, everything will be in vain.

is completely correct. Talent can take you a while, but teamwork and tacit understanding can take you to the end. We have both, and that's why we are so successful.
