Slovenia players want revenge over Man Utd striker Rooney
Slovenia will target Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney at next year's World Cup.
Slovenia defender Bostjan Cesar claims the England player deliberately tried to injure him in the friendly between the sides in September and is now out for revenge.
Cesar, who had a loan spell at West Brom before signing for French club Grenoble, was dumbfounded when Rooney appeared to foul him only for the referee to award a penalty to England.
Cesar told goal.com: "I don't have fond memories of that game.
"The whole of Europe knows what Rooney did. He deliberately tried to injure me. It's not sportsmanlike. I have a clear conscience, but I doubt it that he has one.
"We will give our all to make the game against us an unpleasant experience for Rooney and his team-mates.
"England are the favourites, but we are confident that we can beat anybody."
