During the offseason, Everton achieved an important victory in the player transfer market - they brought back the famous Wayne Rooney to the team.
Although some fans had doubts about the 'Toffees' choice, the 31-year-old striker silenced all critics in the first Premier League match by scoring the only and decisive goal against Stoke City (1-0).
"When I returned to the team, there were high expectations.
Of course, some fans thought I wasn't good enough, but I was determined to prove them wrong.
I worked hard and I am ready for the challenge. I could have moved to another Premier League team and retire in a few years. But to come back here? I have to show the best possible game", Rooney stated.
"I supported this club since childhood and I wanted to play here. I don't want to regret anything. I knew that when I return, I will feel a lot of pressure, but I like to play like that."
