Rooney Can Score In Many Different Ways – Fernandinho

Fernandinho says Manchester City must be careful with danger man Wayne Rooney ahead of their Premier League clash with Everton on Monday night.

“He’s a great player, he showed that during the preseason and the first game as well,” the Brazilian midfielder said. “He is a very good player and we will have to be very careful with him.

“He can score in many different ways. We will have to be close to him and not give him any chance to think or to create any chance of goal.”

“It’s always tough to play against a team like Everton, no matter home or away. They have a good team and good players,” Fernandinho added.

“With a lot of changes they made they are getting better, they improved a lot. It’s going to be a tough game on Monday night. I hope we can be ready to keep growing up and try to win our first home Premier League game.”

“There’s always pressure here to win something,” he added. “Since I came four years ago, the pressure is there. You always have to win. This year isn’t going to be different.

“We have been together for one month already. There are many players that have been here with Pep Guardiola from last season, we already know the way he likes to play.

“The new players that have joined the squad are learning, and they are intelligent players who get it very quickly. That’s not a problem at all.

“Of course, it will take some time to get everybody together. All of them [the new signings] are good. They showed it in their previous teams and we hope all of them can make the difference for us.”
