The legendary Manchester United and England national team striker Wayne Rooney gained amazing knowledge for BBC Sport about his most successful seasons from a statistical point of view. Runi, who is the highest scorer in the history of the club, said that he was bored when he was in the position of a pure “number 9” and scored 34 goals for the season.
Runi's highest performance came in the 2009/10 and 2011/12 seasons.. However, according to his words, this role on the front of the attack did not bring satisfaction.
“My most beautiful two days were for many goals, but I remember how I left the field, having scored two goals, and thinking: “I was greedy,” said Runi.
“It was not proper for me to play with my back to the goal, with only a few minutes to reach the ball.”.
Runi explained that he was once a graver, who wanted to take part in the game, throw more power with the ball and go deeper, which often emphasized his role as a natural scorer.
He realized that he could have scored a lot more goals, as if he had been more selfish, and that his bosses would now just have to play football and be in the center of the field.
