D.C. United coach Wayne Rooney before
Wayne Rooney says the Wagatha Christie matter has been handled legally and won’t overshadow Birmingham’s matchup with Jamie Vardy’s Leicester.
After his wives’ legal case, Wayne Rooney played down their impending matchup with Jamie Vardy’s Leicester City team.
Consequently, what happened?
Prior to the match at St Andrews against Leicester City, Rooney had a conversation. This is the first time he will meet Jamie Vardy, his former England teammate, since their spouses were parties to the ‘Wagatha Christie’ legal dispute.
THOUGHS OF ROONEY
Before the match against Leicester, Rooney made the following statement: “It’s Birmingham City versus Leicester.” Jamie Vardy is, and has been, a wonderful player in my opinion for a long time. He was not the only player I played with while representing England. Aside from when we were at a training camp or a game, I’ve never had a relationship with them. Jamie Vardy is a great player who still has a lot to give Leicester, and I have a lot of respect for him.
“It’s crucial that we avoid being forced into a sideshow. Every previous incident that has occurred, as far as everyone knows, has been handled legally. My task now is to concentrate on Birmingham’s attempt to win the match. He is a valuable asset to Leicester and a guy we will need to put a lot of effort into stopping. If you don’t, he could really harm you.
THE LARGER IMAGE
Coleen Rooney accused Rebekah Vardy of leaking information to the media about her personal life, which led to the development of the case. After the case went to court, Rooney’s claims were validated, and Vardy was compelled to pay a significant amount of her legal fees—roughly £3 million.
FUTURE PLANS FOR ROONEY?
The Blues manager wants to build on their most recent 1-0 victory over Cardiff City, so he will try to put the off-field problems behind him. Vardy is anticipated to miss this match due to an injury, having missed The Foxes’ previous two games due to the same problem.
