Muhammad Zaki; 25 de mai. de 2026 11:21+03:00; Traduzido por Wayne Rooney criticou a guarda de honra formada por Bernardo Silva e John Stones no meio da partida de despedida do Manchester City contra o Aston Villa. O ex-jogador do Manchester United declarou-se “furioso” com a interrupção, argumentando que a homenagem aos ícones do clube que estão de saída prejudicou o clima competitivo do confronto da Premier League. Wayne Rooney criticized the mid-match tributes given to Bernardo Silva and John Stones during Manchester City’s game against Aston Villa. Both players received a “guard of honor” when substituted in the second half. Rooney deemed the timing “totally inappropriate” for a top-flight match, despite acknowledging the players’ “immense contributions.” He argued that such celebrations should take place after the game and that, if he were on the opposing team, he would be “furious.” Alan Shearer shared the same frustration, noting the substitutions occurred while the score was tied. Such attitudes harm the integrity of the Premier League, especially as Villa still had European qualification to play for before the final whistle.
Former Newcastle United striker Alan Shearer shared Rooney’s frustration, admitting he was perplexed that Unai Emery’s team had agreed to take part in the celebrations. “I was surprised that Villa agreed to do that, especially with so much time left,” Shearer noted. “I mean, with half an hour, just over half an hour to go, and with a substitution still to be made, so yes, I’m on Wayne’s side. I’m not a big fan of that while the game is going on.”
