DID ROONEY SPEECH WIN IT FOR UNITED?

While Rooney has been out of the game for quite a while now, he still seeks to inspire his team and lead them to victory through words.

Before the big game, Rooney gave an encouraging speech to the team in the dressing room. This comes as a surprise because Louis Van Gaal doesn’t usually allow anyone who’s not in the match squad into the dressing rooms right before a game but for the injured captain Rooney, an exception was made. The speech came at a heartfelt time because 10 days prior, they lost against Liverpool.

At half time, United were already 1-0 up, and the clear favourites to win the Derby on StanJames, but they still had a fraught 45 miuntes to go.

Last year, another speech very similar was also given to his team. What is Rooney saying to these guys to inspire them to such great lengths? Last year was yet another tough spot for Manchester United and after the poetic and inspiring speech by Rooney, they were able to turn the season around. So how do you inspire people to such a degree that it helps secure a victory? When you play for Manchester United, there’s a certain expectation of you and your team.

Rooney stated “Our main aim was to finish as high up in the table and then we had Liverpool coming up, Man City coming up, so I knew we had some tough games and as a reminder to the players, I told them the football club we’re playing at, the standards you need to set at this club and what we have to do to reach our goal.”

Members of the team are cited as saying that he’s one of those people that you listen to when he speaks. No one is fiddling around, everyone has their 100% focus and attention on Rooney when he’s giving these motivational speeches. It helps secure victories and lifts up an entire team. This win comes at a much needed time too, Manchester United is now back in the race for the Champion’s League.

Clichy wants Manchester City to be more clinical

Manchester City along with Leicester City, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are the current clubs in the Premier League that are positioned in the top 4 spots of the English League.

Manuel Pellegrini and his men could’ve been in pole position if they hadn’t dropped points against: Everton, West Ham United and Leicester City, these are all of the clubs that Manchester City has not been able to finish things off and win and have had to settle with a draw in each game.

Manchester City faced off with West Ham United on January 23 and the final score was 2-2 and a few days prior to this game, they failed to score a single goal when locking horns with Everton in a match that finished goal-less.

In both of those matches, Manchester City were the clear favorites on winning and claiming all 3 points but after everything was said and done, things just didn’t finish off as it was initially expected and .

‘’I think we can always do better. We conceded a couple of goals which tells you we can do better. Overall our performance was good but the second goal killed us a bit as we were on top of them. But that’s what happens if you don’t take your chances.It’s a hard place to go. We wanted the three points and we didn’t get them, but we will take the positives.I’m not surprised at how good West Ham was, they are a great team with great players. But we can do better and we have to do better’’ This is what Manchester City’s Gael Clichy said after his team settled with a 2-2 draw against West Ham United back in January 23 of the ongoing year.

Even with these dropped points, Manchester City has still managed to stay in the top spots of the Premier League and are one of the favorites on becoming the champions of England but they could’ve been in a more dominating position.
