SPORTEPL: Mourinho Reacts As Rooney Admits He Wore Longer Studs To Hurt Chelsea by Enenim(m): 3:19pm On Feb 11, 2022 |
Roma boss, Jose Mourinho has leapt to Wayne Rooney’s defence after the ex-Manchester United striker admitted to wanting “to hurt” Chelsea players. Rooney revealed he wore longer studs than usual when United travelled to Stamford Bridge in 2006, knowing only a win would prevent the Blues from winning the Premier League. Mourinho was managing Chelsea at the time and they beat United 3-0, to clinch back-to-back league titles. Rooney said: “I changed my studs before the game. I put longer studs in because I wanted to hurt someone.” However, Mourinho has empathised with Rooney’s anger which led to the decision to wear the longer studs. Mourinho said: “Probably some people will say, ‘Wow, that’s not a very nice thing to do, to feel or to say.’ “But for football people like me we look at it from a different perspective. “He’s just a young guy who is upset and frustrated, and who doesn’t accept to lose a title for the second time [in a row], which for me means a lot in relation to the character.” Cc: Ifreke Inyang
