Pre
Match Press Conference Highlights |
Wayne
Rooney
For obvious reasons, Saturday is a big game for me.
"It is always nice for any player to score 100 goals and if
I can do that back at Everton, where I started and at
Goodison Park, where I scored my first Premier League goal,
it would be really pleasing. "But it wouldn't really
matter if it was my first or my 100th, it would still be
really sweet."
On the Teams form
“The team is playing well,” said Sir Alex. “We’re really
coming together now.
On the Water Carriers of the team
“It’s always the same in football; the players who score the
goals get all the attention. But if you look at the
performance of Jonny Evans the other night, Gary Neville
coming back in, John O’Shea who never lets you down, and
Darren Fletcher and Anderson in midfield… they were the
heart of the team against Celtic. That allows the forwards
to get on with their job.”
