Guardiola glanced at Rooney again and said: "A player like this should be in Manchester City, a pity..."

Guardiola is a pity, the assistant coach knows. For a successful player like Rooney, he is unlikely to risk the world's worst and rebel from Manchester United to join Manchester City.

Especially Rooney's treatment at Manchester United is not bad at all. He has a maximum salary of 300,000 pounds and is also the captain of Manchester United. He is deeply loved by Manchester United coach Ye Su and is the team's well-deserved core. With such conditions, as long as Rooney is not in a daze, he will not make any abnormal moves.

Of course, the most important thing is that Rooney has a contract with Manchester United for three years, and Manchester City has no possibility of poaching. As for Rooney, who is already thirty-three or four years old, it is probably no longer worth Manchester City's poaching.

"Alexander has a yellow card. Manchester United will definitely use Rooney to attack our left side, so that Paul can retreat appropriately and assist Alexander," Guardiola arranged.

As soon as he finished speaking, Rooney scored a high-level set-piece on the court.

"Manchester United sent a free kick. The right-footed arc ball passed to the penalty area!"

"I missed someone in the middle!"

"Van Dijk grabbed the first landing point and headed the ball!"

...

Only a bang was heard at the scene, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced back to the penalty area.

All Manchester United fans all exclaimed, followed by a sigh of disappointment.

"What a pity! The Dutch central defender's header actually hit the crossbar."

"Manchester United's set-piece offense is very thoughtful. Rooney's free throw level is very high and the landing point is quite accurate. Van Dijk quickly inserted a header and the entire set-piece match was very beautiful. But unfortunately, it was still a little worse."

"Roonie is still the most threatening player on Manchester United's court. Manchester City obviously intends to strengthen defense against Rooney's active left."

……………………

In this wave of attack after the start of the second half, Manchester United played his own morale and rhythm. Rooney soon got another chance on the right.

Kyle Walker made a straight pass, Rooney pulled back, turned around when stopping the ball, dribbled the ball and inserted into the front of the penalty area.

Following Guardiola's instructions, Pogba still retreated to the midfielder and paid attention to assisting Kolarov. Seeing Rooney dribbling the ball, he tightly wrapped around Rooney, but Kyle Walker quickly put the side in, opening up the defensive attention for Rooney. Kolarov was forced to follow England's right back.

Rooney suddenly accelerated and used his speed to drive the ball away from Pogba's entanglement, and drove the ball straight to the penalty area.

This shocked Fernandinho and rushed over quickly to assist in defense. But Rooney's speed did not decrease, and she was rushing into the penalty area directly. This made Brazil's midfielder very passive and could not find a chance to step down. The closer to the penalty area, the less he dared to make moves easily, and could only retreat continuously. But just when he retreated into the penalty area, Rooney got a chance and suddenly pushed the ball horizontally, and the ball passed through the middle of Fernandinho and Pogba. De Bruyne quickly inserted it and hit his right foot directly!

"Rooney's cross... De Bruyne shot directly!"

The ball flew towards the goal at an extremely fast speed, but it slightly rubbed the post and left the bottom line.

De Bruyne knelt at the forefront of Manchester City's penalty area, very regretful.

He was too anxious!

He has been waiting for the opportunity and has been waiting for Rooney to pass the ball. He always believes that Rooney can pass the ball. In fact, Rooney also passes it.

But when the opportunity came, he was anxious, which led to the team not being able to take the lead.

In a match with a powerful opponent like Manchester City, there will be no more good opportunities to score. Missing one result may lead to the team being unable to win or even losing!

……………………

Manchester United fans in the stands sighed disappointed again, but applause was soon received.

Many fans were shouting Rooney's name, and some were shouting De Bruyne.

"Marteway fans are supporting their players. After the second half, Manchester United kicked out their own offensive and played very well."

"Especially Rooney is extremely active and has created opportunities for his teammates frequently, but unfortunately, Manchester United players still lack the ability to seize opportunities."

Rooney just dribbled the ball and sprinted for twenty meters, which was also very expensive.

On the football field, the most consumed is this kind of fast sprint. Rooney can only perform more than thirty times in a game, and after each fast sprint, he needs some time to slow down.

He personally experienced what Ronaldo said to the media that he did not participate in defense, in order to retain enough energy to sprint during offense.

Rooney has good physical fitness, but he is almost thirty-one years old. Although Ye Su is cheating on him, his health is far inferior to his peak condition a few years ago.

"It's okay." Rooney walked over, pulled De Bruyne up, and encouraged, "It's okay, Kevin, I will pass the ball again, and try to seize it next time."

De Bruyne turned around and hugged Rooney, feeling full of apology.

This was an opportunity that Rooney finally won, but wasted by him.

Sometimes, in a game, such opportunities are no longer available. If they are wasted, they may not appear again.

"Believe me!" Rooney applauded vigorously, "Let's work harder, the goal will definitely come!"

Rooney's loud appeal attracted the attention and even hostility of Manchester City players. But so what? This is Old Trafford.

As long as you can defeat Manchester City, even if you are hated by your opponent's players, it will be a very pleasant thing.

Just as Ibrahimovic said, the most exciting thing is to score goals under the noses of opponent fans, and the opponent's booing is the best praise.

Manchester United wants to score a goal, this is not a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy. Rooney wants to help Manchester United score a goal under the gaze of Manchester City players!

……………………

"Manchester City quickly made a counterattack. David Silva passed a long pass to the frontcourt. Van Dijk quickly grabbed it and headed the ball to clear the ball."

"Kanter retreated and passed the ball to the left, Luke Shaw dribbled forward, Manchester United's counterattack."

...

After Luke Shaw dribbled the ball along the left to the front court, he quickly passed it straight to Mata in front. Mata had no advantage in speed, so he chose to cut in the middle after stopping the ball.

Rooney ran horizontally from the right side to the front of the top of the penalty area and brought the ball. Mata's pass happened to be in front of Rooney in a line that Fernandinho could not reach.

Rooney did not choose to stop the ball, but rubbed it gently to slow down the ball, but still rolled to the right, and he took a step forward.

Fernandinho reacted very quickly. He knew very clearly how strong Rooney was in the shooting ability. He immediately chose to wrap around and blocked Rooney tightly with his body, not giving him any chance to directly face the goal. But Rooney also blocked Fernandinho with his body, not giving Brazil a chance to reach the ball.

At this time, Pogba had already returned to defense quickly and was about to form a double-team with Fernandinho.

Rooney shook his head quickly and observed the situation around him. He found that when Kanter passed the ball to Luke Shaw, De Bruyne had turned around and quickly stepped forward, while David Silva also chased him and followed him back to defend.

Rooney and De Bruyne are teammates, while David Silva is old opponents. He knows the speed of the two very well.

After a quick decision, Rooney did not look back and blocked Fernandinho with his body. Before Pogba returned to defense, he knocked the ball with his right heel.

The ball almost went along a straight line, crossing the top of the empty penalty area arc and rolled to the left of the arc.

After seeing Rooney pass the ball, De Bruyne didn't understand it. He quickly threw away David Silva with one step, stopped his left foot, swung his right foot, and directly shot with a powerful shot.

Everyone at the scene heard a bang, and the ball was like a cannonball, drew an arc, almost rubbing the right post and circled into Manchester City's goal.

Manchester City goalkeeper Bravo flew to save, but still failed to touch the ball.

……………………

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

"In the 57th minute, Manchester United finally broke through Manchester City's goal!"

"1:0! A long-range shot from midfielder Kevin De Bruyne from the outside of the penalty area was very exciting to score. But for this goal, the Belgian midfielder should thank his captain Wien Rooney!"

After scoring the goal, De Bruyne rushed towards Rooney excitedly, hugged her with a bear in her hands, and directly picked up Rooney in the waist. After landing, the two rushed to the sidelines excitedly and celebrated the goal.

"Rooney's performance is really great! Most of the credit for this goal comes from him. Especially the imaginative heel pass just now, we have to wonder if he has eyes on the back of his head, otherwise how could he know that De Bruyne is thrusting forward?"

"And we have to admire Rooney's creativity. He is obviously very clear about the characteristics of his teammates. De Bruyne accelerated and left David Silva away. The Spanish veteran's speed is still slightly lacking."

"It can be said that although Manchester United's goal was scored by De Bruyne, Rooney made great contributions."

...

In the stands, countless fans were shouting the names of De Bruyne and Rooney. Obviously, everyone recognized Rooney's contribution, including De Bruyne.

The Belgian was so excited that he kept holding Rooney and thanking him.

Rooney was also very happy because Manchester United scored a goal, and the goal was scored by him and then scored by De Bruyne!

He said to De Bruyne loudly: "Kevin, I didn't lie to you, are you? I said I will pass the ball to you again! I will do what I say!"

De Bruyne nodded repeatedly and said, "Captain, you are the best!"
