Red Rebels

For the Newton Heath Cup, he also attaches great importance. On the contrary, for the Community Shield Cup a week later, Mourinho has some contempt, even if the opponent is Manchester United.

This is not to say that after winning the Premier League championship, it has become a big name. In fact, even Ferguson said that Manchester United intends to promote substitute players to play in the Community Shield, and let the main players better prepare for the upcoming new season. tacit understanding between each other.

The Community Shield has turned into the last pre-season warm-up match for the Premier League powerhouses, which is a no-brainer!

Mourinho made the main lineup in the Newton Heath Cup. The goalkeeper is Cech. The back line is Evra, Terry, Curtis, and Colo Toure from left to right. The double midfielder is Beckham and Essien, the midfielder Kaka, the two wingers are Ronaldinho and Robben, and the single forward is Drogba.

The Droysden team also sent their strongest main lineup, including Mascherano, Montari, Micah Richards, Joe Hart, Dzeko and others all appeared in the starting lineup.

Both sides are fighting against each other. From the perspective of the scene, they undoubtedly have the advantage. They are better than Droysden in terms of controlling the rhythm of the game and cooperating with each other.

The final score was 4:1, Dzeko scored a goal, and Mascherano, Micah Richards and others all performed well.

Xiao Yu watched the game for 90 minutes in the seat specially provided for him. He constantly praised Droysden's progress in the game to David Pace next to him, especially the team's passing on the field. The coordination, as well as the overall offensive and defensive conversion, have been greatly improved than before.

There is no doubt about Pellegrini's ability. Xiao Yu believes that under his leadership, Droysden will be a favorite for promotion this season, and he believes that with the rise of many potential English stars, Droyston's results will be even better.

The performance in this game has improved a lot compared to the previous warm-up match, but Ronaldinho and Robben, who have just experienced the European Cup, were not excited enough in the game. The laboratory believes that this is a sequela of the competition. Gotta give them some time to adjust.

On the other hand, Leo Messi, who played in place of Robben, showed a strong offensive ability on the right with one pass and one shot, especially his cooperation with Kaka in the middle was very tacit, and the two seemed to be wearing the same clothes. a pair of pants.

As the first official game held at the stadium, fans generally still support the team. The 55,000 seats in the stadium are all full. In addition, this season's season ticket sales are expected to exceed 40,000.

Through the popularity of season ticket sales, it is not difficult to guess that this year's stadium attendance will reach a new high. Coupled with the sales of VIP boxes and business seats, the Ministry of Commerce predicts that this year's ticket revenue is likely to hit the club's record high. Even more than last season when he won the title at Old Trafford.

The income of ball tickets has increased. With the opening of some service stores in the stadium, the income of the game day will also become another major income of daily operation, plus sponsors, theme park rental, broadcast fee income, and commercial operation income. Wait, this season is likely to be profitable early.

But the key question is how much profit it can make, and whether it can surpass Manchester United!

After winning the Champions League last season, Real Madrid's commercial value has already surpassed Manchester United by a lot. If you want to surpass Real Madrid in the short term, you must have outstanding achievements and stars. Beckham is one, but it is slightly weak. , and the team just won a Premier League title, there is not enough convincing.

Of course, results and stars are a gradual process. Xiao Yu is not in a hurry at all, but the Premier League is getting closer and closer. The first to ring the doorbell is the Community Shield.

……………………Before the Community Shield, Ferguson and Mourinho had a negotiation with the FA, and both hoped to send substitute players or reserve teams to play in the Community Shield, because relative The league is more important,

Moreover, many players of the two teams have participated in the European Cup and the America's Cup, and they need to buy more time to adjust their state.

The Community Shield is scheduled to be held at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, which requires two Manchester teams to run back and forth, especially considering that the league will start on August 14th, and on August 8th, there will be an innocuous community game south. Shield Cup, which is a bit dangerous for Manchester United.

Helpless, the FA has a tough attitude, and also hinted to the outside world that if both Ferguson and Mourinho want to let their assistants lead the team south to play the Community Shield, they are likely to usher in a penalty sheet, in addition to a fine, they will also be suspended. .

In this regard, Ferguson and Mourinho expressed their helplessness, especially Mourinho, in order to give the players more time to rest and adjust, he only brought some players south, including Ronaldinho, Robben, Baker Ham, Philip? Lahm and others were left in Manchester, led by Cassell training.

Manchester United also hid a number of main players in this game. The goalkeeper used Howard. The defense line from left to right was Fortune, Sylvester, O'Shea, Gary Neville, and the five midfielders were Djemba, Keane, Fletcher, Ryan Giggs, Richardson, the striker is Alan Smith.

The goalkeeper is Almunia, the back line is Evra, Vidic, Curtis, Kolo Toure from left to right, and Cesc Fabregas and De Rossi play double midfielders in the midfield. Ribery and Leo Messi play a double striker, Kaka is the attacking midfielder, and Drogba is the single striker.

In this game, it can be said that both sides did not pay much attention to this game, and they were more concerned that no players were injured, so when Manchester United O'Shea landed in a fight with Drogba in the first half, it was a bit unexpected. There was no big problem, but Ferguson was nervous to replace him with the new star Spector.

At halftime, they took a 1-0 lead.

But Mourinho started making substitutions in the second half. In the 50th minute, he replaced Cesc Fabregas with Michael Johnson, followed by Mikel for De Rossi five minutes later, and then Aguero. The next Kaka is the next city just now.

After making 3 adjustments in one breath, the situation on the field was a bit chaotic. Manchester United quickly seized the opportunity to regain 1 goal. Ryan Giggs made a breakthrough from the left and Alan Smith scored a goal, 2:1!

But after regaining a goal, Manchester United obviously relaxed the offensive. Ferguson also replaced Alan Smith with the youth team teenager Eagles. This is also Manchester United's third substitution. The previous substitutions were also replaced. Youth team player.

This makes the Community Shield a competition for the youth team, and according to live broadcast footage, at least half of the stands at the Millennium Stadium are vacant, which shows how enthusiastic the fans are for this game.

To say that the feud between Manchester United and the entanglement is a gimmick, but the three duels last season were enough of a sensation, plus both sides are targeting the league, especially under the attack of strong teams such as Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal. , Manchester United and there is no reason to fight to the death for a Community Shield.

The young players after that were obviously more active, especially Michael Johnson's several through balls and oblique long passes were in place. In the 81st minute, Aguero took advantage of a pass after receiving a pass from Michael Johnson. The ingenious heel knocked to Messi who was inserted in the back row. Messi shot from the far corner and succeeded, 3:1!

However, the flash of young players still failed to prevent the cup from becoming tasteless, especially in the media reports after the game, they all believed that neither side had any desire to win in this game. The only thing that can be proved is that, of young players are better than Manchester United's younger generation.

Among them, The Times justly pointed out that Leo Messi, Ismail, Michael Johnson, Mikel, and Aguero who just applied for the special talent clause this year, this group of players all have outstanding talents Talented, talented and they will be the backbone of the next few years.

On the other hand, Manchester United, neither Spector nor Eagles were able to pick up the baton, which is why Manchester United lost the Community Shield, but I believe that in the league, the main lineups of both sides will have a real fight. If so, winning or losing is still unknown!

……………………At the same time as the Community Shield was held, Chelsea ushered in the last warm-up match at home in London. Ancelotti's team faced the League One team, mercilessly 7-0 bloodbath On the other side, after two months of groping, he finally found the best lineup for Chelsea, which is the Christmas tree formation that he made famous in AC Milan in his previous life.

The superior name of this tactic is to play the powerful attacking power of Chelsea in the middle. With Shevchenko, Crespo and other top strikers acting as arrows, Joe Cole and Lampard who are inserted in the back row have both. Quite a lot of freedom, and Deco, who originally played the attacking midfielder, stepped back and played the lower midfielder. His forward insertion and midfield organization all made Chelsea's midfield more elegant and orderly.

Shevchenko hat-trick, Crespo scored 1 goal, Deco scored 1 long-range shot, Veron scored a direct free kick, plus Lampard scored a point in the penalty area, Chelsea's last game The warm-up match is in full bloom.

The outbreak of Chelsea also sounded the clarion call of the Premier League schedule in advance, especially in these games in August, these teams known as the favorites to win the championship did not meet in advance, although this reduced the attraction of strong dialogue. Power, but also gave these teams enough warm-up and running-in time.

It was not until mid-September, the fifth round of the league, that the away game against Chelsea started the prologue of the strong dialogue.

However, although the opponents in August are generally not strong, there are 4 league games to be played in half a month. The arrangement of this schedule is indeed a headache for many teams, especially strong teams such as Elephant and Chelsea. Take advantage of the underdogs early in the season to get as many points as possible, otherwise you will be distracted by the League Cup, League and Champions League group stage. [^[Half(.*)／[float*(sheng]~] w.n floats update fast

It is precisely because this schedule is relatively intensive and at the same time related to the start of the league, that every team attaches great importance to the August game, even giving up the Community Shield Cup to prepare for the league.

After Mourinho returned to Manchester, he started a 5-day closed training session and declined all activities and media interviews. Even the club's business department could not arrange for players to attend any occasions during this period. He wanted to take advantage of this. For a period of time, I concentrated on preparing for the upcoming new season.

Coincidentally, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool have also collectively silenced during this period of time. These teams are all suffocating and want to show their strength in the new season, especially Manchester United and Manchester United who signed a lot of money. Chelsea, it is said that Abramovich gave Ancelotti a death order to win the championship before the game!

As many experts have said, the situation of the top five in the Premier League has been formed, and the backbones of the second tier, such as Newcastle, Tottenham, Manchester City, and Everton, have also improved compared with last season. The Premier League is likely to stage a fight between dragons and tigers.

And the craze for the championship is likely to start from the first round of the league!

This has made countless eyes around the world focus on the Premier League, and they are all looking forward to whether the big signings Chelsea and Manchester United can get their wish, how long can the unbeaten season last for the record, and whether Arsenal and Liverpool can stage the giants. Jedi counterattack!

It was in the expectation and viewing of the fans that the Premier League finally kicked off, and indeed, as some people expected, it brought a series of good shows from the very beginning!
