Ronaldo;"Rooney is still very important for England."

Cristiano Ronaldo has hailed former Manchester United team mate  Wayne Rooney saying he is unique and believes the England captain still has a crucial role to play in the English national team.
With the form of both Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy in the 2015/16 season, Rooney's place in the England team has been questioned along with the position he will play.
But Cristiano Ronaldo has no such worry, insisting the 30-year-old is a key for Roy Hodgson's side.
Ronaldo and Rooney have history at
international level, with the Portuguese star getting the Englishman sent off during a clash at the 2006 World Cup.
"A match against England would be very emotive for me – because of Wayne Rooney and because of many other things too. Roo is now a leader and that’s not a surprise," the three times ballon d'or winnet told the Daily Mirror.
"I was always convinced that he would be a star for England and, inevitably, captain one day. It's a perfect role for him after the era of [David] Beckham and [John] Terry.
"For me, the character and pride of Rooney is unique – he's still very important for England."
The Portuguese believes Hodgson's men are capable of challenging in France, particularly with Vardy and Kane coming off strong Premier League seasons.
Kane won the golden boot with 25 league goals, while Vardy struck 24 in Leicester City's title-winning campaign.
"I've watched some of England's recent
matches and they have been good to watch. They could do well this time," Ronaldo said.
"For me, England always have a chance to do well in big tournaments and this time they are arriving in France with some interesting young players who have a big future. "The connection in the team and the team spirit looks positive. Both Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane have scored a lot of goals and had success this year too."
