“I really believe that a large part of our success was played on the PSP,” said Rooney. “We have communicated more.
“We played it on the plane, on the team bus,” he said. “I would be Rio, Rio [Ferdinand]Michael Carrick, John O’Shea, Wes Brown. You have to talk, you have to be tactically correct, revive people when they are killed, and it was a massive part of our success. Ask one of these players – it was brilliant. “
Rooney added that his teammates’ styles often reflected their personality on the field in the game.
“Michael Carrick was a little sneaky, calm.” I was just in the front of the trenches, just in there. “
