πΉ Enzo Maresca on Rooney comments on rotation: βI said already many times ποΈ: we are in an era where anyone can say what they want π. I said after the Qarabag game βοΈ: since I joined the club π, it is my view to rotate players π. When you donβt win games π€, nobody agrees π€·ββοΈ. When itβs Andrey Santos π§π·, Jorrel Hato π³π±, Joao Pedro π§π· β itβs not about rotation. Theyβre young π±, you have to give them chances to make mistakes so they can become better πͺβ.β
