By ANISunday, October 10, 2010
LONDON - Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has has called on the Premier League to bring in a winter break to enable England to realise their full potential in major tournaments.
Speaking ahead of England’s crucial European qualifier against Montenegro, Rooney said the team underperformed at the World Cup because players were too tired.
“A winter break would not only help the England team but the Premier League as well,” The Daily express quoted him, as saying.
“Towards the end of the season the intensity in someof the games which is normally there is missing. It’s a long season with the intensity that the games are played at. It is only fair on the players that there is a break,” Rooney said.
“It’s great, especially as a forward when the game is end to end and the game opens up. But it’s only in England where you see that game that quick,” he said. (ANI)
