Chapter 20: The Arrogant Everton Genius

The derby between Liverpool is about to begin, and tens of thousands of fans in the stadium are shouting wantonly, squandering their own time, and the commentators have not stopped, constantly talking about the history and highlights of the two teams. As for the players of both teams, they are standing in the players' tunnel at the moment, quietly waiting for the game to start.

The whole player tunnel is very quiet, except for the shouts of fans from time to time in the stadium, only the sound of the commentator's commentary is left, everything seems very quiet, and the silence is a little scary.

Indeed, if it is a normal game, even if the players on both sides will shovel each other's feet to death on the court, but before the game officially starts, when they are in the players' tunnel, they will pretend to chat with each other.

However, this time the situation was different, the two sides were players from the same city, and this time the match was a much-watched derby. According to the situation and friendship of the two teams at the same time, the players of both sides did not fight in the player tunnel, which is already very face-saving for the referee and the FA, and it is no less difficult for the players of the two teams to chat with each other than the Chinese team winning the World Cup.

Of course, it's not that there is no sound in the player tunnel at all, at least there is still the sound of chatting from time to time, of course, this sound must be between players from the same team talking to each other, definitely not chatting with each other.

Rooney looked at George, who was standing in front of him, not far from him, talking to Hyypia and Cowell, and Rooney's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of unconvinced. In Rooney's mind, he is the greatest talent Britain has ever seen, and George, who is smiling and talking to his team-mate, is no match for him at all.

What makes Rooney even more angry is that George seems to be his destined nemesis, from the moment he joined the Everton junior team, he met George who had just joined the Liverpool junior team, and finally the two also met in the youth team of their respective clubs, until the current first team. The reason why Rooney is depressed is because he has played with George many times, and he has been pressed to death by George, although he can also score, but the overall performance is not as good as George, whenever he encounters this situation, even the proud Rooney has to sigh: Rooney is born and George!

But even so, Rooney only admitted in his heart at most that George is indeed very powerful, but he will never admit that George is better than himself, after all, Rooney's character is like this.

Now that he has come to Anfield Stadium and successfully promoted to the first team, Rooney wants to humiliate George in the waiting game, so that everyone knows that Rooney is not worse than George, or even better than George.

Indeed, for example, if you ask Cristiano Ronaldo to admit that he is inferior to Messi and Kaka, I don't think it's an easy task. This is also the case with Rooney and George, although both admire each other's strength, but both are about the same age, and they will not easily bow their heads and admit that they are not as good as each other.

In fact, Rooney didn't know that the reason why he was able to promote from the youth team to the first team so quickly, and at the same time quickly sat down in the position of Everton's main striker, somewhat borrowed George's light.

Although Rooney's own strength is undoubted, if it was placed in the past, no matter how good Rooney's talent and strength were, no manager would give a newcomer who has just been promoted to the first team more playing time.

It is precisely because of George's brilliant results in Liverpool last year, coupled with Rooney's talent and strength, that Everton's manager has the idea of giving it a try to see if Everton himself can produce a talented player like Liverpool George, and let Rooney play a few starting strikers, so that Rooney, a small animal, has successfully secured the position of Everton's main striker. Otherwise, even if Rooney has the strength to do a cold bench, at least wait until Arsenal comes on in the last minute of the game, and starts to become famous with a shocking curling ball that penetrates the door guarded by Seaman.

With the leadership of the referee, the players of both sides finally stepped into the field, and when the players from both sides just entered the field, the entire Anfield stadium suddenly erupted into a huge cheer, of course, these cheers are only for the Liverpool players, as for the Everton players, don't even think about it.

As the commentator introduced each Liverpool player one by one, the Liverpool fans on the scene would burst into a huge cheer, especially the captain Hyypia and Gerrard and Owen, of course, among the Liverpool team, the most popular player is naturally George, who is currently in full swing, excellent performance, handsome appearance, and suddenly won the support of many fans for George.

At this moment, when Liverpool fans look at the handsome George in the stadium wearing Liverpool's sacred No. 7 shirt, everyone has forgotten the sadness and anger of Fowler's departure, and there are only endless expectations and love.

When the commentator finished introducing the Liverpool players, he began to introduce the Everton players, and the original huge cheers suddenly turned into boos all over the sky, and the other Everton players were okay, after all, this situation must be encountered at least once a year, either habitual and numb, or with a certain immunity.

But there was one man in the Everton squad who showed a hint of anger in the face of the boos from the Liverpool fans, and that was Wayne Rooney.

Especially when the commentator introduced Rooney, saying that Rooney is currently the only super talent in the whole of Britain who can be compared to George, the angry Liverpool fans immediately gave their biggest boos to Rooney. In the hearts of Liverpool fans, you have a pockmarked face, not handsome and not tall boy, and you dare to compare with our Prince George of Liverpool, isn't this looking for death?

It can be said that in the whole of Everton, except for Gravison, a mad dog that no matter the opponent fan likes, Rooney received no less boos than Gravison. This made Rooney, who was originally angry and hot-tempered, couldn't help but snatch the ball from his teammates' feet and kick the ball towards Liverpool's side of the goal in the face of the boos of Liverpool fans.

Since the game did not officially start, everyone was just warming up very casually, and they didn't notice the situation at all, when they noticed this situation, the ball had been drilled into the goal, not only the Liverpool players, but even the Liverpool fans were stunned.

Provocation, absolute provocation, when the Liverpool players and fans reacted, the Liverpool fans naturally attacked Rooney with greater boos, and at the same time, some over-the-top fans even wanted to rush into the field and teach Rooney a hard lesson, but were stopped by the police who had been prepared for a long time.

Liverpool's players are also looking at Rooney, a boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, with murderous eyes, this naked provocation, and at Anfield Stadium, at Liverpool's home stadium, if Rooney and Everton are not taught a hard lesson today, I am afraid that the Liverpool players themselves will not forgive themselves.

The Liverpool derby, which was already very hot and tense in the atmosphere, suddenly rose several levels with Rooney's kick.
