Rooney didn't know if Zhuo Yang had a big head. Anyway, he knew that his head was so big at the moment that a Mexican straw hat couldn't cover the rain.

In fact, Rooney himself didn't understand why he suddenly had to defend Zhuo Yang. His sense of responsibility on the court is completely innate. Under the prediction of experience, he couldn't help but get stuck in the middle. He didn't want to

Laike Legs wouldn't listen to him.

Rooney also knew that he couldn't guard Zhuoyang, especially after the guy suddenly braked.

If I rush forward and I can't stop him, the worst I can do is tackle a guy for you. But if you are positioned in front of me, it would be ridiculous to tackle him again. You are stupid and careless.

Rooney knows his defensive position. He has never been a man-marker or a defender. He just hopes to delay Zhuo Yang for a little while, just a second or two, so that Jagielka, Keane, and Schneiderlin can cover

Come up.

This second is as long as the first 17 years of my career.

Before Zhuo Yang moved, Rooney seemed to see him smiling.

Laughter is laughter, why does it seem like that? Because Rooney was hunched over and staring at Zhuoyang's feet. If Zhuoyang really laughed, scientifically speaking, he would not be able to see it, and Newton would not agree.

But Rooney just saw it. He had never met Newton, Roentgen, Einstein, Curie, Madame Feynman and Hawking. The only doctor in his life who had spoken directly to him was Zhuo Yang.

Suddenly, Zhuo Yang moved. No need to look at it this time, Rooney saw it for real.

Zhuoyang's left foot crossed over the football to the right. It was not a very high-end fake move. Even Rooney could not completely fool him. He only staggered slightly and did not give up his position. He could not even make Rooney move.

, still with his legs crossed and his waist bent, ready to fight.

Then, Rooney felt cold and wind blowing under his crotch.

Zhuoyang did not just slide his left foot across, but actually used a scissor kick. While his left foot crossed over the football, his right foot went back, and he shot Rooney through the crotch in a very weird cross-flowering posture.

It's too much to wear crotch, but also to arrange flowers in the cross?

To deal with a goalkeeper like Pickford, you have to rely on surprise. It is really difficult to deal with him with regular shooting.

Sure enough, Pickford once again had no reaction and allowed the shot to explode into the net like a cannonball. This is Zhuoyang, who can turn the shot into a volley effect, and others are not able to do so.

Rooney didn't have the ability either. He could only look at Pickford with his legs crossed and his head in stunned silence. Then he went to look at Zhuo Yang, only to find that he had run away happily.

Before leaving, he seemed to wink.

It's a squeeze, so why does it still seem like it? Because Rooney crossed his legs and turned around to look at Pickford. If Zhuo Yang was really squeezed, scientifically speaking, he couldn't see it.

4:2, Zhuoyang scored two goals in two minutes. The total number of goals in the league this season has reached 36. The previous record only lasted for one minute.

This goal also completely destroyed the morale that Everton had built up after equalizing the score. Two acrobatic goals in two minutes would make the opponent feel deeply powerless, and any resistance would be like a lonely umbrella in a violent storm.

Until Zhuo Yang and his teammates finished celebrating again and came to him to express a slight apology, Rooney didn't seem to have recovered.

"Wayne, don't mind it. What happened on the court... I couldn't hold it back just now." Zhuoyang pointed to wearing his crotch.

Rooney smiled and shook his head without saying anything. In fact, he didn't know what to say.

Because like his Everton teammates, he also fell into a deep sense of powerlessness. The difference was that his teammates were powerless about the game, while Rooney felt powerless about his career.

Only when you face-to-face with Zhuo Yang can you clearly understand how huge the gap is between the same '1985 Prodigy Generation'. Rooney, who became famous at the age of 16, has never been a timid person. If he cannot be brilliant, he would rather never be here

.

Zhuoyang's crotch-piercing goal did not make Rooney feel offended, but made him feel desperate.

I haven't changed, but the era of the Premier League has changed. Zhuo Yang's arrival has raised the expectations of the giants for players, so I had no choice but to leave Manchester United and returned to Everton pretending to be home in glory.

Times have not changed, but I have. Football is the same as it was ten years ago. Zhuo Yang is still ruling. Before he came, I was the king of the Premier League. After he came, I was no longer the king.

Rooney, who combines the temperament of the underworld and the green forest, had a philosophical thinking at this moment.

I should leave the Premier League, or just retire. But, where can I go after leaving the Premier League? Will Real Madrid still want me? What can I do after retirement? Go to boxing matches?

I'm not willing to give in. I'm only 32 and a half years old. I'm so unwilling to give in. Everyone says that Zhuo Yang can only play in the Premier League for three or four years at most, because he is a prodigal son. He will definitely go back to Fort Madi to return to his roots after three or four years. Am I right?

Should I spend more?

But even if Zhuoyang is wasted, I will be really old. We are all 1985, so is there any point in wasting it?

Wayne Rooney is caught in a deep tangle, and he needs guidance from an expert, or an epiphany from a sideways source.

After playing like this absent-mindedly and completely relying on physical reflexes for another ten minutes, Rooney saw the substitution card on the sidelines.

Two for two, Everton's No. 26 for No. 10, and Manchester City's No. 33 for No. 18.

Zhuoyang took off the armband and handed it to Kompany. Rooney subconsciously went to rub his right arm, but suddenly realized that he was not the captain of Everton. The armband was on Jagielka's arm.

Zhuoyang and Rooney walked to the sidelines together.

Trailing 2:4, Allardyce replaced Rooney at this time, and his move to find a scapegoat was very obvious, because Rooney is the biggest player in Everton today, and Zhuoyang's two lightning strikes are inseparable from Rooney.

.

Once he was awarded a free kick for a tackle foul, and once he was directly shot through the crotch by Zhuo Yang.

But analyze the specific situation in detail. Those two defenses should not be Rooney's responsibility. His ability to defend Zhuo Yang is enough to show his diligence and sense of responsibility. The real blame is his group of unsatisfactory teammates. Without Rooney,

Two strikes, Zhuo Yang has two single swords.

But Allardyce, the old charlatan, has to take the blame. Others don't have Rooney's back and can't afford it.

If it's just a matter of tactical adjustments and the team struggling to fight back after falling behind, the people who should be replaced most are winger Bolasie and midfielder Lewin.

Bolasie was completely different in the second half than in the first half. He was playing Ronaldo in the first half and sleeping with Ronaldo in the second half. He was no longer useful.

The young player Lewin, who replaced Sigurdsson as the attacking midfielder, was invisible throughout the game. Except for the moment when he was teased by Zhuoyang with a back-up pass, it was quite difficult for the TV cameras to find him.

Replace one of them, or simply replace them both, move Rooney's position forward, and let him do his job as an attacking midfielder or even a shadow forward. Why not?

Rooney is also a veteran, and he knows very well that Big Sam is asking him to take the blame, but Rooney doesn't care.

In the past, he could have fallen out on the spot, but he had a falling out with Unsworth last year, and it was hard to fall out again now. Moreover, the question of whether to be tolerant or not was seriously bothering him, and he had no time or emotion to think about anything else.

Ten meters away from the sideline, Zhuo Yang and Rooney walked together. Zhuo Yang stretched out his hand, and the two high-fived each other.

"Wayne, you ran a lot today, probably more than me."

"Oh, not bad."

Rooney retracted his palm and remembered that in the first half, he mistakenly thought that Zhuoyang had turned against him and was preparing to fight him.

Suddenly, he remembered what Zhuo Yang said when he accepted the award last year - Rooney did not go when UEFA presented the awards, but watched the live broadcast at home.

"... Rooney asked me to have a fight when I had time. It was boxing. He said he had practiced it. I was surprised at the time because Rooney was a 32-year-old guy and he was not afraid of death."

"Hey, Wayne, I'm waiting for you, and I hope you'll be merciful. After the fight, I'll buy you two drinks, and drink them secretly without telling anyone."

Rooney is a person who likes to find enlightenment for himself, or he likes to use one thing to help him make a choice.

So Rooney had an idea. He wanted to call Zhuoyang, but Zhuoyang had already completed the handover with Jesus and was receiving a hug from Guardiola, so he could only wait a little longer.

Rooney was so impatient that he almost couldn't hold it in until the end of the game.

The game ended with Manchester City winning 5:3 away from home. Jesus, who came on as a substitute for Zhuo Yang, scored a shot in the 79th minute.

Manchester City still has 7 games left. They only need to win any one more game to win the Premier League championship this season. They may even only need to draw with second-placed Manchester United in the next round to win the championship six rounds ahead of schedule.

"Lao Zhuo, are you interested in boxing with me?" After the game, Rooney found Zhuo Yang alone.

It was so unexpected, but Zhuo Yang still replied: "Not interested."

Rooney: "..."

"That's enough. If we don't want to play for real, how about we have a game?"

"Then I'm even less interested."

"... Just play a game with me. You have the final say and everything is up to you. Okay?" Rooney has never been so sincere in his reckless life. "Lao Zhuo, this is very important to me. Please

You are."

Rooney has decided to use the 'competition' with Zhuo Yang to determine his future. If he wins, he will continue to stay in the Premier League and consume Zhuo Yang.
