Pavel Sulc Draws Inspiration from Rooney’s Energy

Viktoria Plzen midfielder Pavel Sulc stated that Manchester United possesses “a star-filled team” and predicted a “very difficult match” scheduled for Thursday at the Doosan Arena. Sulc acknowledged, “Yes, they are in the bottom half of the table, but it’s still the Premier League.” He outlined his team’s strategy: “We will stick to our plan. We will play as we do in the Europa League. We will try to be unpleasant, we will run a lot, we will put a lot of pressure on the opponent.” He also added, “We will probably need a little bit of luck, but we are hoping that the luck will be on our side.” Sulc, who has netted four goals in his last four appearances, revealed that former United striker Wayne Rooney served as his inspiration during his formative years. He further explained, “I used to watch them a lot when I was younger,” and “I used to really admire Wayne Rooney.” Sulc elaborated on his admiration: “I admire Wayne’s style, and he always tries to put his all in the match. I kind of try to channel his energy too, so that’s my inspiration.” Regarding other players, he stated, “As for other players, of course I respect them. It’s impossible not to respect them. Right now, I focus on my people, on myself.”
