Rooney targets cup success

The Premiership may be United's main priority and the Champions League is
often cited as European football’s holy grail, but Wayne Rooney is
determined to make up for losing to Arsenal on penalties in the 2005 FA Cup
final by winning the competition this season.
The 21-year-old striker put United in front against Middlesbrough in the
quarter final clash at the Riverside on Saturday, but Cristiano Ronaldo
had to rescue the tie from the spot after the Reds conceded goals either
side of half-time.
Sir Alex's side are in the pot for today's semi final draw, but first must
overcome a replay against Boro on Monday at Old Trafford, with Rooney
determined to finish off the job.
"Obviously, we'd liked to have gone straight through, but the main thing is
that we're still in the draw,” he told MUTV. “It was disappointing to lose
goals just before and just after half time, but it's a difficult place to
come to get a result so we’re pleased that, having gone behind, we fought
back.”
It means two games in three days at OT – with Bolton visiting on Saturday
in the league – but Rooney is not daunted by the number of potentially
season-defining games on the horizon.
"We're all professionals and we have to keep going," he said. "I don't
think [the extra game] is a problem and I'd like to play every game.
"We've got home advantage and we're confident of beating anyone coming to
Old Trafford. It’s getting towards the end of the season and everyone is
thinking about finals and hopefully winning the league. I'm the same.
"It was a bad feeling losing to Arsenal. If we can get to the final again
then I’m sure if we have that many chances again, we'll take them.”

正當一般人認為曼聯會把目標放在聯賽和歐冠杯身上,魯尼卻希望一嘗奪得足總杯
的滋味。
魯尼在週末對米杜士堡的足總杯八強比賽射入一球,不過最終球隊只能以二比二賽
和。
經過抽籤後,如果曼聯能夠晉級,將可以在四強避開切爾西。
「明顯地我們是有較佳機會晉級,但別忘記上仗我們只是打和。」魯尼在《MUTV》
上說。
「很失望地在半場後我們便再度失球,不過高興在仍能夠有重賽的機會。」
曼聯在主場對完博爾頓後兩天便要再對米得爾斯堡,不過魯尼不擔心比賽太頻密。
「我們全部都是專業的,大家都會保持前進,我不認為額外多出的一場比賽是問題,
我希望每場比賽都可以上陣。」
「我們有主場優勢,並且有信心擊敗任何到來老特拉福德的球隊。現在球季將近尾
聲,人們都在談論著錦標,我也是一樣。」
「前季在決賽敗給阿森納的確不好受,如果我們可以再次晉級決賽,我相信我們可
以把握機會。」
