Stopping Giggs is key for England
Reuters - Striker Wayne Rooney says stopping his club team mate Ryan Giggs will be the key to winning Saturday’s World Cup qualifier against Wales.
The Manchester United pair will face each other in a Group Six game in Cardiff, with Rooney expecting England to be given a hard time after beating Wales 2-0 at Old Trafford last October.
“He’s a great player,” Rooney told reporters after training on Wednesday. “I work with him every day, so I see what he can do. If we can keep Giggsy quiet then we should win the game.
“I think it will be a tough game. I think it will be a battle, we’re preparing for that, anyway…Wales are a good team, we know most of the players. We’ve watched videos as well.
“At Old Trafford, we ran out worthy winners, so I think it will be a lot tougher with their home crowd.”
England go into the match two points behind group leaders Poland, but with a game in hand and with another qualifier the following Wednesday in Northern Ireland.
