Rooney scared of Capello

According to The Sun Wayne Rooney has revealed the one man who scares him – and it ain’t Fergie.

The England striker, 24, can take the hairdryer treatment but not the Fabio Capello stare.

Rooney said: “It’s just little things. Like when he walks down the corridor past you.

“The way he holds himself, the way he looks at you. You just know he’s a tough man – he has that aura about him.

“Sometimes he just walks by as if you’re not even there and it can be quite intimidating.”

Rooney – the England captain last Saturday for the 1-0 friendly defeat to Brazil – says, with boss Capello, it’s just about the work. It’s business, not pleasure.

He revealed: “When we get to the England camp we’re there for football – not to discuss his private life or talk about art.

“We don’t ask about his private life and he doesn’t ask about ours.

“We’re there to work, then we go home.

“I think the key thing is that you know that if you don’t play well every game under him then you’ll lose your place. It’s as simple as that.”

It is a similar story under Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson.

Rooney admits he still needs to step up his game ahead of the World Cup in South Africa, particularly now Cristiano Ronaldo is no longer at Old Trafford.

He said: “I’ve still got a lot to improve on and a lot to learn.

“I can score more goals. I need to score more goals, particularly now Ronaldo’s gone.”
