ROONEY: When I first became a professional player, I didn't know how to deal with the pressure, so I had to drink alcohol to get rid of it

Live Bar February 6 news In a recent interview, Rooney talked about the problem of stress, saying that he felt very uncomfortable at first.

Rooney said: "Becoming a Premier League player at the age of 16 and then becoming a member of the national team, I had to face sudden pressure and I was not ready at that time. I never wanted to be the other side of being a footballer and I wasn't ready for that part of life. ”

"That took me a lot of time to get used to and understand how to face a situation like this. It's like being thrown into a place where you're uncomfortable, and that's tough for me. ”

"When I started playing for Manchester United, until my first son was born, I closed myself off and never went out. Sometimes you'll have a few days off, away from football, and I'll really shut myself off and just drink and try to take everything out of my mind. You may know that sometimes I like to have a drink or hang out, but I actually like so much more than that, it just comes to my mind. ”

'It's just the accumulation of everything, the pressure to play for the country, for Manchester United, and the newspaper coverage of my personal life has also put a lot of pressure on me, I just want to deal with the pressure that has gradually accumulated."

"I try to solve these things on my own, I grew up in a poor family, you never talk to anyone else, you can always find a solution on your own, you will try to solve the problem on your own instead of asking for help." 」

Before becoming a coach, Rooney returned to Everton and then played for Washington D.C. United and Derby County, Rooney said it would feel uncomfortable talking about himself to anyone else at Old Trafford, and now everything is under his control, he said: "Now people are always talking about things like this, then in my head, with other players, I simply can't go into the dressing room and start saying how I feel because you don't want to do that, then your heart will be very uncomfortable. There is no way to let your thoughts go. ”
