Micah Richards takes us back to one of the most unforgettable moments in Premier League history as he talks about Wayne Rooneyβs legendary bicycle kick against Manchester City in the Manchester Derby. π²β½οΈ The goal is remembered as one of the greatest finishes ever seen in English football, but Richards gives an interesting insight into what was actually happening from the defensive side of the play. Richards explains that he doesnβt believe he should be blamed for Rooney finding the space to score. He says his responsibility was to stay with the βwide man,β while Vincent Kompany was the player who slipped at the crucial moment. That slip helped create the situation that allowed Rooney to attack the ball and produce an unbelievable overhead kick. ππ₯ From Richardsβ point of view, he was simply doing his defensive job, while Kompanyβs mistake changed the entire sequence. Rooneyβs finish went down in history as one of the most iconic goals in Manchester Derby history, and Micah Richardsβ story adds another fascinating layer to the moment. The positioning, the defensive movement, Kompanyβs slip and Rooneyβs perfect technique all came together in a few seconds to create a goal that football fans will never forget. πβ½οΈ This is the kind of behind-the-scenes football story that shows how much can happen before a legendary goal is scored. π₯ Source : https://youtu.be/oKVJwfhe7Yk?si=NZ3OGAfBFiwculaN | Micah Richards on THAT Rooney goal #waynerooney #micahrichards #manchesterderby #manchesterunited #manchestercity #premierleague #football #soccer #bicylekick #overheadkick #rooney #vincentkompany #footballshorts #youtubeshorts #footballstories #premierleaguehistory #iconicgoals #footballlegends

Im with micah on this one
It is clearly Kompany's fault, Micah was already marking Giggs.
What was Micah meant to do ?He's behind Rooney lol
Kompanys fault
He didnt went back and googled it. Its been bothering him from the day it happened, been sitting on that one for years.
That cross always seems so crisp to me with the curve edit: guys I know now thank you
I am a defender and its the fault of kompany bc's he sliped
Thatβs one of those goals where you just say βnothing they could do about thatβ. Even if Komoany hadnβt slipped Iβm not sure if he would have been able to stop it
He only slipped because he had too much ground to make up. He entirely lost his man
I didn't know the fault went for Micah damn I with Micah
so basically he is getting blamed because he didn't put the head for rooney to kick it and send it top bins
It wasn't anyone's fault, just Rooney and no one expected him to have the ability to pull off a kick like that..
Vincent Kompany watching this: π’
There was no stopping that
I donβt think that even Vidic wouldβve tried to head that away
Not big meeks fault
Mans has been keeping this Shi in for the past few years π
the deflection from Zabaleta while Nani was crossing changed Kompany's man marking and that's why he slept
"Your fault , your fault " got me rolling ππ₯
Definitely wasn't this poor man's fault. That's the game for yuh
