«IF HE WAS ITALIAN WOULD WORSHIPED AS TOTTI» - ERIKSSON
Sven-Goran Eriksson, a former England coach between 2001 and 2006, criticized Britons who did not value Wayne Rooney's career, though retired from the national team.
"The treatment that Rooney has been targeting over the years says a lot about how the British look at the national team. He is the best scorer in the history of England and Manchester United and there are no arguments against it. If he was Italian I have no doubt that he was worshiped and idolized as Totti is in Rome. No one in Italy criticizes Totti even if there are reasons to do so. While I was at the helm of the national team, I can assure you that I had to get him out of training because he was addicted to playing and training, "he told the Daily Mail.
