Man City defender vows to take revenge from Rooney
March 14th, 2011 - 1:16 pm ICT by ANILondon, Mar 14 (ANI): Manchester City defender Micah Richards, who hit the winner against Reading, cannot wait to face Manchester United in the FA Cup semifinal and take revenge from Wayne Rooney.
Still trying to overcome Rooney’s amazing Premier League clincher last month against City, Richards said: “We’re looking to gain revenge for Wayne Rooney’s overhead kick. It’s going to be a great game and we’ll all be looking forward to it.”
“We didn’t play well and we struggled to break them down. But we showed great resilience to get through and that’s all that matters,” The Sun quoted him, as syaing.
Fellow City defender Vincent Kompany said the team is buzzing after reaching the last four for the first time since 1981.
“I’ll let you guess how much it means - and how much the next opponents mean to us. We’re happy to play them - there is no easy way to get to the final. We’re looking forward to it and there will be no complaints from us,” Kompany said. (ANI)
