England can win the World Cup as long as ‘greatest’ Rooney is fit: Cohen |
England ’s 1966 World Cup hero George
Cohen thinks that Wayne Rooney is the greatest player ever and England can beat
any team as long as Wayne Rooney is fighting fit. “If we don’t get too many injuries
then we have a great chance at the World Cup – but one thing I really hope is
Wayne Rooney stays fit,” Sunday Express quoted Cohen , as saying. “He is one of
the greatest players I’ve ever seen. He has got it all this young fellow. To think
he’s only 23 – he’s an absolutely sensational player. “From what I can see, though,
whenever he’s not playing for us, we don’t seem to function as well. That’s why
we must keep him fit,” he added. Cohen is so impressed by the striker that he
has put him on a par with Spurs, Chelsea and West Ham legend Greaves. Greaves
scored an astonishing 44 goals in 57 games for England . Rooney, by comparison,
had netted 25 times in 55 appearances so far. “Greavsie was a great area player,
a great poacher. I might be prejudiced, having known Jimmy for 55 years, but for
me he was the outstanding goalscorer. And Rooney seems to be the same, according
to Cohen . “ Wayne seems to know instinctively where he should be on the pitch.
As long as this guy stays fit then I believe we have a very good chance of scoring
goals – which you always need, of course, he pointed out. |
