Fast forward to August 13, 2018, and the Audi Stadium in Washington still has a hint of summer intensity. In front of 46,000 fans, Rooney led Washington United against Orlando City. The game did not go as expected, and in injury time, the score was still 2-2. When everyone thought that the team would end the game with such embarrassment, in the 95th minute, the home team pressed on the whole line, and the ball was once again released by the other side. It was a great counter-attack opportunity for Orlando City, when the opposing half was empty. Benny was on a high-speed break, and as he was about to face the empty goal, the 32-year-old Rooney made a long run, miraculously breaking the ball from his side and sending a quick long pass to help the other teammate who had given up defending the header.
Afterwards, it was estimated that the long biography glided nearly 40 meters in the air. At that moment, the Washington United players and fans were almost crazy to celebrate, but at this time the broadcast camera found Rooney, who had exhausted his last bit of strength, squatting on the turf breathlessly watching his teammates' indifference.
That year, the 32-year-old Wayne made seven appearances for Washington United, scoring one goal and three assists.
Now let's slowly dial the hand of time back and see what great moments this legendary Superstar of England has dedicated to us in the past decade or so!
Wayne Rooney was born on 24 October 1985 to an ordinary working-class family in Crotteen, on the northern outskirts of Liverpool. His father, Warren, was of Irish descent, and his mother, Jenny, was an employee of a laundromat. Wohnen, who did not have a lot of money, was a boxing enthusiast and a loyal fan of the home team --- Everton. Rooney was born in 1985, the season in which Everton won the League One title. So from childhood, he aspired to make this blue-clad team the permanent home team.
Young Wayne showed great athletic talent early on, but it was not football. At that time, a boxing match in the big Yubank (former middleweight boxing champion) could fascinate Wayne Jr. He was more devoted to boxing than the football he had come to expect.
At the age of 9 years and 5 months, Wayne joined the Toffee Academy, and there was anthony Lee in the team. Cohen (later derbyshire), Brandel (West Ham, Middlesbrough) and such talents, Wayne is not the shining one among them. It wasn't until 6 years later that he met David. Moyes, the young marshal was impressed by this young man who had grown into a tank, and promoted him to the first team that year. Moyes has a mantra "Don't let Wayne hit you in the nose" Indeed, even when training with the adults in the first team, Wayne Jr. is the brave and powerful one.
Time kept going, and on August 16, 2002, Goodison had a slightly gloomy afternoon. In the opening game of the new Premier League season, 16 years and 9 months old Rooney played for Everton for the first time. It was a memorable moment, the moment he climbed the turf and he had surpassed his predecessor Lomi. Stevens (69 years, 17 years and one month) became the second youngest debut player in Toffee history. Then a month later, in the League Cup, he scored his first official game goal at Everton, making him the youngest goal scorer in the team's history.
Two records were recorded in the toffee, which in turn opened the prelude to a legend! The third record was broken, even more amazing.
On 19 October of the same year, Everton played against Arsenal at home. The 30-game unbeaten Gunners are full of confidence and will not let go of this opportunity to win. Near the end of the game, the two sides fought 1:1, and Professor Wenger's expression changed from calm at the beginning to anxiety, and he seemed to feel that something was wrong. At this time, Rooney came on as a substitute, dribbled laterally on the left side of the opposing penalty area, and flashed a wonderful long-range shot past Campbell. 2-1, then the whistle sounded and Everton beat Arsenal.
The goal brought victory to the home team and broke the Gunners' multiple unbeaten games. At the same time, one of the youngest goalscorers in the Premier League was born--- was only 16 years and 360 days old.
The giant gunner became his backdrop, and the praise from the outside world poured in overnight, including reports, analysis, amazement and blessings from other countries and regions in the world. The youngest goalscorer turned out to be a complete explosion!
For the next 03-04 season, Rooney continued to advance, scoring nine goals in 40 games in all competitions, becoming the most high-profile star of the Toffee front. However, the team's performance was not high, and it was only ranked 17th at the end of the season, and it was almost relegated.
