Chapter 45: The Desperate Veteran

, the latest chapter is updated the fastest!

Rooney squatted on the ground, looking at the back of Lucky running.

At the age of 25, he was in the peak of his physical condition. Lucky's performance at this time can only be described as terrifying.

Facing Everton's iron wall, he dug a gap and forced the ball into the goal.

At this moment, Rooney couldn't help but think of their defeat at the Emirates Stadium many years ago.

At that time, Arsenal was not so strong, and Manchester United was still the invincible Red Devils.

But Arsenal defeated Manchester United, and the young man in front of him became the key figure in the game.

After many years, Lucky became stronger, and he became more and more powerless.

Rooney didn't want to admit that he was old, so he did not accept the high salary offered by the MLS and chose to reduce his salary to come to Everton.

But facing Lucky's strong performance, he was powerless.

He wanted to fight, but he really couldn't fight!

"Hey! Guys, the game has just started, let's teach them a lesson!"

Rooney stood up and clapped his hands to encourage his teammates.

Even if he was unable to do it, he had to try his best to finish the game.

This is Rooney's style all along.

The game resumed, and just as Rooney was about to receive the ball, he saw Lucky rushing over.

The two of them were fighting!

Winter!

There is no doubt that Rooney was knocked off the ball, and Lucky took advantage of the situation to stop the ball steadily.

But Rooney did not give up, and got up and chased back with all his strength.

Just as Lucky was about to pass the ball, a foot appeared out of thin air on the right.

Lucky immediately made an emergency stop, and Rooney also made an emergency stop.

However, due to physical reasons, he slipped a little, but still blocked Lucky's pass with his head.

The ball hit Rooney's forehead hard, and he felt dizzy and dizzy, accompanied by a strong sense of pain and concussion.

But he didn't care about these, but turned his head to look at the sideline, until he confirmed that the ball flew out of the sideline, he covered his head, and a sharp pain came.

"Rooney!! A desperate counter-attack finally blocked Kai's pass! The 32-year-old Rooney is still playing very hard in the field! Maybe this is the gene that Manchester United has planted in his body!"

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray couldn't help but sigh.

The 32-year-old Rooney played very hard, and he had to work hard, otherwise his body couldn't keep up at all.

Both flexibility and strength were greatly reduced, which were not at all advantageous in front of Lucky, so he could only work hard.

It can be seen that Rooney was already panting after only 20 minutes of the game.

Long-term and large-scale running has caused Rooney's body to begin to have a sharp decline in physical fitness.

Obviously, Rooney can't hold on for too long.

When Lucky saw Rooney blocking his shot, he couldn't help but shake his head with regret.

Lucky squatted down and stretched out his hand to pull Rooney.

For an opponent who tried his best to block, he still maintained enough respect.

"You're too hard!"

Lucky looked at Rooney and said.

Rooney spit a mouthful of saliva to make his breathing smoother.

"If you don't fight hard, I can't limit you at all."

Rooney said solemnly: "I want to win the game!"

Lekai clicked the picture; "Me too!"

After that, Lekai came to the side to receive the ball.

Robertson threw the ball to Lekai, and Rooney continued to rush over.

Lekai stopped the ball with his chest, and after unloading the ball, he stuck Rooney behind him and then passed the ball.

Lekai had just passed the ball, and Rooney rushed to Ramsey who was holding the ball to press.

"Really fighting! But" Lekai turned his head and looked at the other people in Everton. Are these guys watching the show?

It seems that only Rooney was pressing fiercely in the whole game, while others were watching.

Lekai felt ashamed for them.

Letting a veteran fight and grab, is that embarrassing?

Rooney's active fighting did create a good opportunity for Everton. In the 32nd minute, Everton took advantage of a counterattack opportunity and broke Arsenal's goal again.

This goal was completely won by Rooney, who rushed forward to grab the ball and then assisted.

Another Everton striker just stretched his foot and scored.

Everton took the lead again, and the whole stadium was boiling.

"Everton!! Score another goal!!! Can Everton beat Arsenal at home and break Arsenal's winning streak?"

Andy Gray was excited.

"Rooney! This is Wayne Rooney, a fighter who never gives up!"

At this time, the 'fighter' squatted on the ground, panting more violently.

He even had symptoms of dizziness in the brain, and it was obvious that he could no longer hold on.

The head coach also saw Rooney's problem. After communicating, he immediately made substitutions.

In the 40th minute, Rooney was substituted.

When he left the field, Rooney was greeted with fierce applause from the audience.

There is no doubt that the second goal was won by Rooney, and the fans also bought it.

However, after Rooney left the field, Everton's defense suffered again.

A connection between Lukay, Giroud and Mane.

Lukay saw an opening and passed the ball to Giroud, who then headed to the right and turned to dribble into the penalty area.

Mane dribbled closer, first looking at Aubameyang at the back post, but the position was not good.

At this time, Giroud suddenly retreated.

Mane passed the ball in a triangle.

Giroud received the ball sideways and turned to shoot.

The ball went into the goal from between the goalkeeper's arms.

In the 43rd minute, Arsenal equalized the score again.

And this goal also made the Everton home court, which was originally full of joy, fall into silence again.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

After entering the second half, Arsenal became more and more courageous, and various offensive routines emerged one after another. Leka even retreated to defend and pass the ball.

Arsenal operated like a rigorous machine.

Everton was almost kicked to pieces immediately.

Under repeated attacks, Everton's defense line was finally overwhelmed.

In the 58th minute, Arsenal took advantage of the counterattack opportunity, and Leka made a long pass to assist Aubameyang to score the third goal.

In the 77th minute, Leka launched an attack, and a change of rhythm directly tore through Everton's defense.

Arsenal once again penetrated Everton's goal with only two passes.

This goal was scored by Senegalese star Mane.

In the 80th minute, Giroud was substituted and Lukaku came on as a substitute.

Only 3 minutes after Lukaku came on, he received a cross from Robertson and scored a goal in the penalty area.

The score came to Arsenal 5-2 Everton.

After entering the second half, Everton failed to organize an effective attack.

On the other hand, Arsenal began to bombard Everton and made him lose his mind.

In the end, the game ended and Arsenal defeated Everton 5-2 away.

After the game, Lukaku accepted an interview with the media.

"Everton played very well in the first half, or Rooney played very well. He fought hard. I respect any player who wants to win the game desperately, not to mention a 32-year-old veteran. He has my respect. As for others, I don't know what they are waiting for. Let a veteran go to grab the ball. I don't understand this!"

Lukaku's remarks were recognized by the media.

These reporters had the same idea. Rooney was leading Everton in this game. Compared with Rooney, the performance of other Everton players was too bad.

After the game, Everton player Kenny approached Lucky and wanted to exchange jerseys.

Lucky refused for the first time.

Lucky could exchange jerseys, but the premise was to gain their recognition through the game.

Obviously, Lucky did not agree with Kenny's lazy performance in the game.

Lucky refused to exchange jerseys, which embarrassed Kenny.

But Lucky didn't care about that. He walked straight to Everton's bench.

"Hey! Rooney!"

Rooney was about to leave when he heard someone calling him and turned his head to look.

He saw Lucky took off his jersey and handed it over.

This meant exchanging jerseys.

To be honest, Rooney was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lucky to take the initiative to exchange jerseys with him.

Rooney quickly picked up the jersey he had worn from the side and handed it over.

"You played great! I'm looking forward to the next game!"

Rooney also smiled at Lucky's affirmation.

"Congratulations on your victory!"

The two hugged each other gently and then separated.

Not far away, Kenny saw Lucky exchanging jerseys with Rooney, and his face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Obviously, compared to his own performance, Lucky values ​​Rooney more.

"It's just an old guy with a little more fame, what's so great about that."

Kenny couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

Obviously, he didn't realize his problem at all.
