Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 432 Wayne Rooney
In the history of English football, the FA Cup has been far higher than the league in the hearts of fans for a long period of time.

In order to force the league and weaken the influence of the FA Cup, the FA held the English League Cup.

The League Cup is a competition based on a single knockout system between 72 professional clubs in England regardless of level.In England's domestic league, the League Cup ranks behind the League and the FA Cup.For top clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City, the League Cup is just a game for training substitute players.

For top clubs, ignoring the League Cup is also a helpless move.Because in addition to participating in the league, FA Cup and League Cup, they also have to participate in the lucrative UEFA Champions League or UEFA Cup.If the results are good and the game continues, there may be nearly 9 games in a season of 70 months.On average, there are close to two games a week.And the players are not iron-clad.

Of course, now that the League Cup has reached the final, neither Manchester United nor rival Everton will underestimate the final game.You know, no matter how poor the status of the League Cup is, it is also an official cup under the Football Association.Who would think that there are too many championship trophies in their team's room of honor?

Everton ranks tenth in the league this season and has not even won the UEFA Cup.Such a result cannot satisfy the Toffee fans.It is also because of this that Everton has been working hard up and down, and is bound to win the League Cup to avoid the embarrassment of all four players this season.

For Manchester United, the team has set several league records.Everyone is ambitious and wants to win all championships in all competitions this season.The League Cup championship is the second championship trophy they will harvest this summer.

League Cup final day.Wembley Stadium, London, Manchester United vs Everton.

Wembley Stadium is regarded by the British as a symbol of British sports.It is the home ground of the England national team and also hosts the League Cup and FA Cup finals. In 1966, the England national team won the World Cup trophy at Wembley Stadium.

Today's Wembley Stadium, after several renovations, can accommodate more than 90000 spectators.

In this game, 5 Manchester United fans and 4 Everton fans poured into Wembley Stadium.Wembley Stadium became a sea of ​​red and blue.

Although it is a championship match, there is no tense confrontation between Everton and Manchester United fans.Between Manchester United and Everton, there is a bond of friendship, that is the legendary England star Wayne Rooney!
Rooney was born in a poor family in an Irish blue-collar worker's residential area in Liverpool.The family lived in a small house rented from the government.Rooney's father and mother are both die-hard Everton fans.Like his parents, Wayne Rooney supported Everton the most when he was a child.

Rooney showed amazing football talent when he was in primary school. At the age of 7, he scored a goal on behalf of the regional children's team for the first time.At that time, Rooney's opponents were all eleven or twelve-year-old children.Rooney entered Everton's youth training system at the age of 9 and became the youngest player in the Everton youth team. At the age of 16, he was promoted by Moyes to the Everton first team and started a real professional football career.

On February 2003, 2, at the age of 12 years and 17 days, Rooney represented the England national team for the first time in a friendly match between England and Australia, becoming England's youngest international player since shit.In September of the same year, Rooney scored his first goal for the national team in England's game against Macedonia, becoming the youngest goal scorer in the history of the England national team.

The outstanding performance in the national team has earned Rooney the nicknames of "England's Golden Boy" and "Owen's Successor".Everton was just a financially stretched Premier League club.It can be said that the temple of Everton is too small to accommodate the promising Rooney.

In 2004, Manchester United officially announced the purchase of Rooney from Everton for a transfer fee of 2700 million pounds. The transfer fee of 2700 million pounds was a sky-high price at the time.

Since then, Manchester United has ushered in the Rooney era!

In the 13 seasons he played for Manchester United, Rooney scored 250 goals for Manchester United, surpassing Sir Bobby Charlton and becoming the top scorer in Manchester United history.During the years of playing for the England national team, he scored 53 goals for the national team and is the first scorer in the history of the England national team.It can be said that Rooney carries the memories of a generation of Manchester United fans and a generation of England fans.

However, as he grew older, Rooney changed from a "golden boy" to a veteran.The state continues to decline, and his main position in the Manchester United team is also in jeopardy.

Finally, at the age of 32, he chose to return to his roots and transferred to the starting point of his amazing football career - Toffee Everton.

In the Premier League this season, Rooney made 33 starts for Everton and scored 10 goals, making him the top scorer in the Everton team.Everton people regard Rooney as their pride from beginning to end.

Both Manchester United fans and Everton fans have deep feelings for Rooney.It is precisely because of the existence of such a bonding figure that the relationship between Red Devils fans and Toffees fans is very harmonious.

The game is about to start.Big Mouth Dunphy said in the commentary: "In this game, Manchester United's starting lineup: the front line is a strong LIL combination. Liu, Ibrahimovic, Lukaku. Front midfielder Rashford. Double midfielder Pogba, Matic. Four defenders Valencia, Smalling, Rojo, Blind. Goalkeeper De Gea."

Fat Bob said: "For Everton, Rooney partnered with Lewin on the striker. Five midfielders Baines, Davis, Schneiderlin, Gueye, Holgate. Three defenders Jagielka , Ashley Williams, Michael Keane. Goalkeeper Pickford."

In the player channel, Rooney's former teammates such as Valencia, Rashford, Smalling, Blind, and De Gea walked up to Rooney to shake hands with him.

Rooney smiled and said to De Gea: "Hey, brother, I will not show mercy to you today. You have to be careful!"

Players from both sides enter the field.

The DJ at Wembley Stadium introduces the players one by one over the stadium sound system.

When it comes to "Wayne Rooney", 5 Manchester United fans and 4 Everton fans gave a collective standing ovation!

The sight of fans from both sides giving the same player a standing ovation is rare in a cup final in any country in the world.

Wayne Rooney deserves such an honor!
Whether in Manchester United, Everton, or the England national team, Rooney has conquered the hearts of all fans with his powerful style of play and wonderful goals.

After introducing the players, the British national anthem "God Save the Queen" began to be played at Wembley Stadium.

"God bless the queen and wish her a long life. God bless the queen, always victorious and glorious. Fascinate the people and sing with joy. Rule the country, Wang Yunchang. God bless the queen!"
