鲁尼是为英国效力的最年轻的球员，2003
年拿到第一顶国家队鸭舌帽时他年仅17岁。目
前这个阶段他还未能如同英国祈祷的那样成为
中坚力量。2006年世界杯之前他伤病缠身，在
锋线上未能显现出杀伤力。2006年他有借口，
但在2010年南非世界杯上也不曾产生影响让他
自然受到了应得的批评。他甚至在指责了那些
英格兰与阿尔及利亚打平后将国家队嘘下场的
人后，与本队球迷产生冲突。阿尔及利亚对英
国队来说很容易对付，那些花了重金来为自己
球队加油的人应该看到更精彩的球赛。鲁尼目
前的主要优势在于他还有时间，如果他在将来
为英国队赢得一场主要赛事并不意外。
鲁尼的私生活为无孔不入的英国媒体提
供了丰富的素材。2008年他与中学时期女友
科琳结婚，但多年来被指与无数女人包括妓
女有染。鲁尼甚至承认在2004年招妓，并称
自己当年“年轻而愚蠢”。他与小报有过一
两次官司，还曾被卷入无数次其它的丑闻，
从管理问题到争夺域名waynerooney.com的法
律纠纷。没人会质疑被媒体骚扰是如何得百般
艰辛，但踢球并将百万英镑揽入囊中意味着别
无它选，只能去面对公众的眼球。
对鲁尼来说最重要的是继续在球场上有
精彩表现。曼联（或许也包括纽约洋基）等
同于体育世界的可口可乐或麦当劳。曼联是
个世界品牌，而鲁尼承载着众多期望。如果
他可以继续射门得分，足球的永恒仍在等待
着鲁尼去创造。
Rooney was the youngest player ever to
play for Englandwhen he earned his first cap
back in 2003 at the age of 17. At this stage he
hasn’t been the force that England has been
praying for. Hewas plagued by injury prior to
the 2006World Cup and never looked like a
threat up front. In2006hehadhis excusesbut
his failure tomake an impact in South Africa
in 2010 left him open to deserved criticism.
He even got into trouble with his fans after
criticisingthosewhobooedtheEnglishteamoff
thepitchaftera lacklustredrawagainstAlgeria.
Algeriawasexpected tobeaneasyscalp for the
English and those that had spent large sums
of money to cheer on their team deserved
more than they got. However, Rooney’smain
advantage at this stage is that time is still on
the youngman’s side and don’t be surprised
if he wins amajor tournament for England in
the future.
Rooney’spersonal lifehasprovided juicy
fodder for the savage English tabloids. He
married his high school sweetheart, Colleen
in 2008 but he has been linked to numerous
women including prostitutes over the years
and Rooney even admitted to soliciting
working girls back in 2004 claiming that he
was “young and stupid”. He has had a couple
of legal battlesagainst tabloidpapersandhas
been embroiled in numerous other fiascos
frommanagement problems to getting his
hands on the domain name waynerooney.
com. No one could argue that it is not hard
workbeinghoundedby thepress, butplaying
football and earning millions of pounds
means there is no choice but to face up to
the public eye.
Themost important thing for Rooney is
thathekeepsplayinggreat football.Manchester
