Wayne Rooney Is Back To Form

The Three Lions can make a giant step towards the European Cham­pi­on­ship in Poland and Ukraine next year by defeat­ing Bul­garia at the Vassil Levski Sta­dion in Sofia on Fri­day. Wayne Rooney scored an aston­ish­ing treble when Manchester United beat old enemies Arsenal 8–2 at Old Traf­ford last Sunday and the born again goal poacher now feels that he is get­ting back to his best form after his very own Annus Hor­rib­ilis last year.

Wayne Rooney: “On New Year’s Day I was quite happy to put 2010 behind me and I was look­ing for­ward to start­ing the New Year and doing well. I scored my first goal from open play since March 2010 against West Brom­wich Albion. From then I was happy and I was con­fid­ent I could help the team. It’s hard when you know you can do things but you are try­ing it and it is not work­ing. Thank­fully I man­aged to get over it and play some of the best foot­ball I have played in a long time. I think there have been times when I have been more aggress­ive on the pitch and gone in for silly chal­lenges. But I’m not really doing that any­more and I’m feel­ing more relaxed on the pitch. I am enjoy­ing it and I am in a happy place both on and off the pitch. I am look­ing for­ward to every game that comes.”
