Wayne Rooney

You've got five midfielders behind you to do the defending.

So you're attacking, then you're just getting back into your shape by the halfway line when you're defending, then you're getting ready to attack.

So you're always fresh to...

to get in the box and score goals.

I think it was a number nine, I think.

I had the instinct to get in the box.

I'd drop back in and then have runners beyond me.

But I think as a number nine, that's where... That's where I wanted to be.

I wanted to be in the box.

I wanted to score goals.

So is that the case where you're playing it wide, you're getting into the box, you're not looking for the short one, the return?

Yeah, you know, if you play it wide, you've got to get in the box.

You're the one who's got to get the goals.

Whereas a number 10, you can play it wide, then you can hang out at the edge of the box, you can...

You know, look for cutbacks where, as a number nine, you've got to be getting across the front post and be in the right position.

Yeah, it was.

I used to get frustrated because I didn't score that many headers.

So I went on the signing pitch with Mick Phelan and worked on it for about...

two, three months and then all of a sudden I got one header and then they just kept coming and I was scoring headers.

After that I had a nice spot there of my head to put it in.
