English football legend Wayne Rooney is thrilled that Arsenal star Declan Rice will be the next England captain. The 26-year-old midfielder is already considered irreplaceable for the club and national team, and after the end of the career of record holder Harry Kane, he can defeat the “Three Lions”.

Runi noted in his show:.

" I was everywhere on the field, monitoring the decision-making process and detailing the details.. Vin breaks up the central defenders, acting as the third central defender, and the offensive one is already in the penalty area.

For me, the captain of the national team of England"

Kane is immediately stripped of his team leadership and is preparing for the 2026 World Championship. The Bayern striker has reached 78 goals in 125 matches for the national team, and now there are reports about the striker in the captain’s post.

Runi also assessed Rice's contributions to Arsenal:.

" Perhaps, you don’t care, but he truly wins an important job for Arsenal."
