In the 70th minute of the second half, Rooney finally breathed a sigh of relief as he was substituted off the field!
He was full of confidence before the match and never expected that this game against the Gunners would be so memorable for him.
Especially the Asian goalkeeper in the Gunners' formation, he truly experienced the quality of their opponents. They were not just dabbling; they were genuinely skilled and had real talent.
Finally, as the match came to a close, Everton failed to pull one back at home to salvage their pride.
Faced with the cruel reality before them, they could only swallow this crushing defeat with resentment in their hearts—being relentlessly bombarded by the Gunners and conceding five goals!
Every Everton player's face was filled with despair and resentment, yet they were helpless.
This match was undoubtedly a nightmare for the Evertons; they not only suffered a crushing defeat but also lost their dignity and confidence. Meanwhile, the Gunners solidified their dominant position with this resounding victory, striking fear into the hearts of all their opponents.
However, right after that, two more spectacular goals were scored! Both were scored by substitutes Wilshere and Ramsey! These two players seemed to be under a spell, continuing their recent volcanic eruption-like form and shining brightly in this match!
Wilshere, like an old cheetah, tore through the opponent's defense with lightning speed, and then pierced the opponent's goalkeeper's fingers with a stunning shot!
The moment the goal was scored, the entire stadium erupted. Although there weren't many Arsenal fans in attendance, it wasn't enough to dampen their enthusiasm for the goal. Cheers and shouts echoed throughout the entire stadium!
Then Ramsey, not to be outdone, moved with the grace of a dancer, effortlessly escaping his opponent's clutches.
Then, he sent the ball into the top corner of the goal with a perfectly curling shot! This goal was a work of art, leaving everyone in awe!
The outstanding performances of these two players not only won the team victory, but also brought endless joy and surprises to the fans! Looking at the talented new generation of Arsenal players, the fans feel that their path to the top four this season should be very promising.
Yes, after last season's disastrous experience, the Arsenal players don't have high expectations anymore. They would be satisfied if Wenger could lead the team back to the Champions League.
But at that moment, they were completely unaware of how determined Wenger's eyes were on the sidelines.
At the beginning of the season, he thought that the team would be successful if they could finish in the top four. However, after nine Premier League matches, he was surprised to find that Arsenal had unknowingly climbed to fourth place in the league. Although they had the same points as Chelsea, they were ahead of them in goal difference.
And over these nine games, his confidence in the players has grown stronger, especially in the defense orchestrated by Lei Ming. He even felt that this lineup could put up a fight against the then-dominant Manchester City.
After the match, although he understood that Everton was not in a good mood at the moment, and therefore needed to be careful in his words and actions, and not to express his thoughts and feelings too much, so as not to aggravate the opponent's sensitive nerves, he still did not hold back his praise for the players who performed well and steadily, giving them high praise and affirmation, and expressing his heartfelt thanks for their efforts.
That same evening, Lei Ming, who had just returned home, unexpectedly found himself trending on social media again.
The incident began when media outlets received information that after the match, Rooney went directly to a nearby betting company and placed a £500,000 bet on Arsenal winning the title this season.
The news of this incident immediately attracted the attention of many fans who enjoy watching gossip. Everyone was unable to imagine why Rooney would make such a crazy decision.
After all, everyone knows that Arsenal's chances of winning the title are extremely slim, with odds as high as 9.5. Under these circumstances, Rooney's actions are essentially giving money away to the betting companies; he's a true money-giving boy.
However, amidst the doubts from a large number of fans, Rooney said in an interview that the Gunners this season are actually very strong, and at least in the game he felt somewhat powerless. You know, this is a feeling he has never had since he became a football player, but it happened in this game.
The reason lies with Arsenal's goalkeeper; the opponent's defense completely overwhelmed Rooney.
This is the main reason why he was so confident after the match.
Many fans mocked Rooney after hearing his words, saying he was really old to think the other team would be the champion based on just one game and even bet as much as £500,000. Many people saw this behavior as Rooney simply trying to save face.
After all, losing to an ordinary team and losing to a champion team are two completely different things. If the opponent really wins the championship, then this 0-5 defeat will not seem so embarrassing.
...
That evening, Lei Ming received a small surprise when he got home. His eyes were blindfolded. His first reaction was to use his elbow to knock down the attacker, but he stopped himself when he heard the attacker's voice.
"Hehe, guess who I am!"
His eyelids were enveloped by soft, slender hands. Lei Ming thought for a moment, then replied, "Is it Avril?"
"No, it must be Yeri."
"What? Not yet? It must be Naomi..."
When Lei Ming mentioned three names in a row, none of them were his own, which made Celeste Via, who had come from afar to surprise him, instantly annoyed and slapped him.
"You scumbag, how many women have you slept with behind my back all this time?! You're so disappointing! I'm done!"
Seeing the other person's aggrieved expression, Lei Ming laughed and hugged her, teasingly saying, "Ha, Princess Celeste is done playing now? If you gave me more time, I could name quite a few actresses."
Seeing Lei Ming's expression, Celeste Via obviously realized that she had just been tricked by Lei Ming. With a smile, she couldn't help but press her fragrant lips to Lei Ming's lips.
"How dare you lie to me!"
Ah~
Faced with the alluring offer, he, still energized from the game, scooped up Viya in his arms and strode confidently into the bathroom.
