Rooney is definitely a world-class legendary superstar.

Rooney is born into a boxing family. Rooney's great-grandfather is a famous former world boxing champion. Rooney himself has been influenced by his family environment since he was a child and loves boxing. However, he eventually chose his favorite football. But even when playing football, Rooney would still practice boxing in his spare time, practicing both boxing and kicking.

During this growth process, Rooney also developed an extremely aggressive offensive characteristic and amazing strength. Rooney's very famous moves are the Flying Fairy and the Meteor Pendulum, as well as the boxing-style celebration after scoring a goal.

Rooney, who made his debut for Everton's first team at the age of 16, was described by then Everton coach Moyes as a "little tank".

Rooney was born into a blue-collar working family in Liverpool. Both his parents were die-hard fans of Everton.

Rooney began to receive formal football training at the age of 9, but the football school he attended at the time was very amateur and there was no detailed age division, so Rooney always had to play football with boys who were taller and several years older than him.

However, Rooney's innate physical condition and extremely aggressive personality allowed him to quickly gain a foothold among this group of older kids.

Whenever there was a dispute on the small pitch, Rooney was always able to stand up with his small stature but great energy and win people over with his virtue.

Many older children were beaten by Rooney and cried loudly, and Rooney even mocked them for being sissies.

Rooney's confrontational nature and football talent soon won the favor of Everton scouts. Everton scouts believed that even if this little fat boy could not play football well in the future, at least he would not suffer any loss by helping Everton team in fights.

——At that time, football hooligan culture was still quite prevalent.

So, at the age of 9, Rooney went directly into the Everton Club's youth training camp and became the youngest player in the camp.

In 2002, when Rooney was 16 years old, head coach Moyes promoted Rooney to the first team.

In the opening match of the 2002-03 Premier League season, Rooney played for Everton for the first time in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur, becoming the second youngest player in Everton's history.

On October 2, Rooney scored his first official goal for Everton in the League Cup match between Everton and West Ham United, making him the youngest scorer in Everton's history.

On October 19, 2002, Rooney came on as a substitute in Everton's Premier League match against Arsenal and became famous in one battle! At that time, Arsenal, led by Wenger, had been unbeaten for 30 consecutive games and dominated the Premier League standings, with a strong momentum.

As soon as Rooney came on the pitch, he violently sprinted to the front court, turned around to stop the ball, and then kicked the ball directly from an unguarded position 35 meters away from the goal, making a powerful arc world wave! In the end, Everton defeated Arsenal 2:1! Rooney scored a goal as soon as he came on the pitch, and ended Wenger's 30-game winning streak, making Arsenal's winning streak dead, and forcing Arsenal to start over! This goal made Rooney, who was only 16 years and 360 days old, the youngest scorer in the Premier League (later broken by Milner at 16 years and 357 days and Vahan at 16 years and 271 days).

It was also from 2002 that Rooney's legend began.

At this time, Rooney was 178cm tall and weighed 85kg, a typical human tank!

There are quite a few human tank-type center forwards in the Premier League, but most of them are stationary forwards who rely on passing the ball to the midfielders and then use their bodies to fight for position - such as the Warcraft Drogba.

However, Rooney is not a stationary striker. Rooney has speed, footwork, and a sense of coordination.

Rooney can play as a center forward, a striker, a shadow striker, and can even retreat to midfield and play as a central midfielder.

And when the handsome Berbatov was introduced to Manchester United at a high price, Rooney was able to prove with his own strength that he would never be the one sitting on the bench.

Rooney is strong and solid, with the impact of a beast, an innate sense of goal, a signature powerful shot, and an extremely hot temper. These characteristics are the most typical representatives of British stars.

Rooney is both the "bad boy" on the field and the "new king of England".

The nickname of the New King of England is not a self-congratulatory one, but is officially recognized by the club.

Rooney's playing style inherits some of the legacy of the George Clinton era. It is an orthodox English center forward style, and he has a tendency to surpass his predecessors.

Rooney has repeatedly saved the team from danger at key moments in key games, so he is also called "King" by the Red Devils fans. Over time, the official website of Manchester United Club has also officially certified Rooney's title of "England new king".

Being officially recognized as the new king by the extremely arrogant Manchester United club is a unique event in the history of Manchester United club.

Of course, before Rooney became a Manchester United star, Everton's Moyes regarded Rooney as a star of hope for Everton's revival.

Moreover, Rooney's whole family are die-hard fans of Everton, so Rooney was determined to hang up his boots at Everton at that time.

After Rooney became famous with a goal in 2002, Everton offered him the club's highest weekly salary of 13,000 pounds.

You have to know that Rooney was only 17 years old at the time, and his father, a blue-collar worker, only earned 280 pounds a week, not even a fraction of Rooney's weekly salary.

However, even with the highest salary in the team, Rooney was not able to stay.

Although Rooney loves Everton, Ferguson's call from Manchester United is more tempting.

On September 1, 2004, Manchester United Football Club officially announced the successful purchase of Everton striker Rooney for a transfer fee of 27 million pounds. Rooney signed a six-year contract with Manchester United until June 30, 2010, with a weekly salary of about 50,000 pounds.

The difference between a weekly salary of 13,000 pounds and a weekly salary of 50,000 pounds is four times. What is there to love or not? Manchester United gives too much! Of course, Rooney told reporters that he went to Manchester United purely to study at a higher club and then return to Everton after completing his studies.

After officially joining Manchester United, Rooney's first game for Manchester United was against Fenerbahce in the Champions League group stage.

In this first game, Rooney destroyed Fenerbahce's defense with his overwhelming attack and completed a hat-trick in his debut, helping Manchester United to a 6-2 victory over Fenerbahce. This was also Rooney's first hat-trick in the Champions League. At only 18 years old, Rooney became the youngest player to score a hat-trick in the history of the Champions League.

On October 24 of the same season, in the Premier League match between Manchester United and Arsenal, Rooney contributed an assist and a goal, helping Manchester United beat Arsenal 2-0 and ending Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten record.

This record is also the longest unbeaten record in Arsenal's history. The second longest unbeaten record was 30 games, which was also ended by Rooney.

This also caused Wenger's heart to bleed whenever he saw Rooney later... (End of this chapter)
