Rooney Channels Sir Alex Ferguson

Wayne Rooney's halftime pep talk to his Birmingham players left him without a voice, reminiscent of his former boss Sir Alex Ferguson's legendary hairdryer treatment. Despite the strain on his vocal cords, Rooney's tactics paid off as the Blues secured their first victory under his leadership.

A Late Win for Birmingham

Birmingham's victory came late in the game, with substitute Jordan James scoring the decisive goal. This came after Juninho Bacuna canceled out George Byers' opener for Sheffield Wednesday, who currently sit at the bottom of the Championship table.

Overcoming Hostility and Frustration

Birmingham's players not only had to overcome a hostile reaction from home supporters at halftime but also Rooney's fiery criticism. The former Everton hero expressed his frustration with the team's lack of energy in the first half and emphasized his expectations for improvement.

Rooney's Whispering Voice

Rooney's attempt to replicate Ferguson's vocal stamina and power may have left him speechless, but he's willing to continue whispering if it means celebrating more victories with his team.
