Rooney predicts that conventional forward will be eliminated in the new time of sport.
Rooney has criticised the state of the current game, asserting that conventional strikers have declined in recent years due to current military preferences.
With his vast power and crossing range, Rooney himself, one of the greatest strikers of his generation, made the perfect power man for anyone he was paired up front with during his time at Goodison Park, Old Trafford, and with England on the global stage. He helped usher in a new era of forth worthy of more than just finishing chances and holding up the ball.
Rooney's target involvement record, which ranks him among the top five in the all-time Premier League ratings for both goals and assists, perfectly sums up this.
Wayne Rooney's anxiety for forth
Rooney criticised the present society of playing from the rear, which has become a common practice for most teams in Europe's best units over the past ten years, while speaking on The Overlap in association with Sky Bet.
“There are no centre-forwards out it," he told a life audience ahead of the start of Euro 2024.
" If you look around world football, you look at Harry Kane and [Erling ] Haaland. Even just in the Premier League, you ’ve got [ Ollie] Watkins after them – there are no forwards.
" That’s where the activity has changed, somebody is trying to play out from the up," he added.
When my kids perform under 8s sports, they play two center-backs against the keeper, play from the backside, and concede a goal. They give up on the target and give it another chance.
" Yes, you need to grow, but unfortunately, they need to create how to get and maintain a match – the centre-forwards are getting forgotten about and never getting the ball.
" The game has changed a lot where there are not many number nine’s out there at all. ”
