Ronaldo: No rift with Rooney
from mu官網
Cristiano Ronaldo has brushed off the suggestion he tried to get Wayne Rooney sent off during England's World Cup quarter final defeat to Portugal on penalties.
Rooney shown a straight red in the 62nd minute of a tense clash in Gelsenkirchen for a stamp on Ricardo Carvalho.
After the incident Ronaldo ran over to demand the referee take action. Rooney subsequently pushed Ronaldo away, believing his United team-mate to be attempting to get him sent off.
However, Ronaldo insists that wasn't the case and is adamant he and Rooney are “friends”.
"The English press say the referee gave a red card because I spoke [to him], but this is not true,” he said after the match.
"I said 'ref this is foul' but I did not say 'red card' because Wayne is my friend and I play at the same team as him."
Departing England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson urged the English press not to be too hard on Rooney following his dismissal.
"I think that you, much more than me, need Wayne Rooney," he said. "He's the golden boy of English football, so don't kill him.
"If he did it with intention or not, leave it - you need him for the qualification games and to win Euro 2008. I have no hard feelings."
A FIFA disciplinary panel will meet to decide what punishment Rooney will receive for the sending off. He will miss the start of England's Euro 2008 qualifying campaign, which starts in August under new national boss Steve McClaren. |
