Becks calls for Roo caution
By Alex Livie | Sunday 14th May http://tinyurl.com/jupyf
England captain David Beckham has urged Wayne Rooney not to gamble with
his career by playing at the World Cup finals if he is less than 100
percent fit.
Rooney broke a metatarsal bone against Chelsea last month and is far from
certain to be fit for this summer's showpiece event.
Beckham shrugged off a similar injury to lead the nation four years ago,
although he looked well short of peak fitness and form in Japan & Korea.
Rooney's injury occurred later in the season than Beckham's and the Real
Madrid star does not believe the forward will be ready to help The Three
Lions.
Some reports on Sunday are suggesting Rooney could be fit in three weeks,
but Beckham has urged the young star not to rush back into action.
"I was always so positive I was going to make the World Cup anyway. It
never entered my head not to be fit for it, whereas Wayne has had his
injury a month later than I did," Beckham told the News of the World.
"If he's not right, then he has to look after himself. He can't take risks.
He's got a huge future ahead of him, so he has to be careful.
"He shouldn't rush it. Everyone in our country wants him fit but he's got
to think of himself as well."
England's chances of World Cup glory would certainly improve with Rooney
on the field, but Beckham feels there is enough quality in Sven Goran
Eriksson's squad to offset the loss of the former Everton man.
He added: "We'd rather have Wayne in the team on and off the pitch. He's
great off the pitch and everyone knows what he can do on it.
"But we've got other world-class players. A lot of them are club captains
and have won huge games.
"John Terry and Frank Lampard have won Premiership titles. Steven Gerrard
and Jamie Carragher have won the European Cup.
"Ashley Cole and Sol Campbell are going to the Champions League final on
Wednesday and have won leagues and so has Rio Ferdinand.
"Gary Neville is Manchester United captain. Michael Owen has played for
Real Madrid and captained Liverpool."
貝克漢姆掛念小兄弟：為了未來 魯尼別急於復出

右腳腳趾骨折的魯尼已經能騎車訓練了，各方對這位作風勇猛的天才小將出戰世界
盃越來越樂觀。但英格蘭隊隊長貝克漢姆還是表達了自己的擔心：「魯尼不該回來得太
早，別拿自己的未來冒險。」
貝克漢姆也有過和魯尼類似的經歷。02世界盃開賽前兩個月，貝克漢姆在冠軍聯賽
左腳骨折，但經過積極有效的治療，貝克漢姆趕上了世界盃，並且率隊打入了16強。小
貝把自己同魯尼對比道：「當時我一直確信無論如何我都會參加世界盃，但這次魯尼受
傷距離世界盃的時間比我近了將近一個月。英國每個人都在期待著他能踢世界盃，但對
魯尼個人來說，還有更長遠更輝煌的未來等著他，對復出必須非常謹慎。」
「即時沒有魯尼，我相信英格蘭隊有足夠的力量出征世界盃。我們的隊員都是來自
各個俱樂部的精英，比如聯賽冠軍切爾西的特裡、蘭帕德，即將出戰歐洲冠軍聯賽決賽
的阿森納隊的阿什利-科爾和坎貝爾，以及利物浦的傑拉德、曼聯的加裡-內維爾、紐卡
斯爾聯隊的歐文，英格蘭隊完全可以應付任何艱苦的比賽。」貝克漢姆堅定地表示。
