Chapter 467: Manchester Derby in the Community Shield
Chapter 467: Manchester Derby in the Community Shield
(Reply to the two updates tomorrow~~~ I want to try to make a classification monthly ticket list, so I will add updates on the basis of the two updates, brothers, please leave the monthly tickets to me)
In the three friendly matches in North America, Manchester City's performance was not good, even completely different from what the fans expected. In these three games, Manchester City only won one game.
In the three games, they lost 1:3 against the Mexican American team, and lost 2:3 against the Vancouver Whitecaps. Until the final face of the Los Angeles Galaxy, Manchester City finally won a victory with a score of 3:2.
The biggest reason for the loss in the first two games was the chaos in Manchester City's midfield. Last season, Manchester City's tactics revolved around Yaya Toure, Silva and Tevez.
But this season, the addition of Li Feng will inevitably cause huge changes in Manchester City's midfield. At the same time, the addition of Aguero will also have a huge impact on the striker.
In these three games, except for goalkeeper Joe Hart, Manchester City's starting lineup is different. Obviously, this trip to North America is just a training trip for Van Basten.
After the game against the Los Angeles Galaxy, Li Feng exchanged jerseys with Beckham as he wished, and then Manchester City officially ended their trip to North America.
After returning to Manchester, the time has entered August, and there are only two weeks left before the opening of the league, but before the opening of the league, Manchester City still has a game to play.
The English Community Shield Cup, which is organized by the Football Association, is a contest between the league champions of last season and the FA Cup champions.
Life does not need a script, but sometimes life is more exciting than the script. Last season, the Premier League champion was Manchester United, while the FA Cup champion was Manchester City.
In other words, this year's Community Shield will become a Manchester civil war. It is undoubtedly a kind of enjoyment for the fans to see such a match, even a super enjoyment.
So far, Manchester Derby has played 150 eight games. Manchester City has only won 43 games in total, 22 games less than Manchester United, and the remaining 50 games ended in a draw.
In the derby in the cup, Manchester United also took a slight lead. The two sides had a total of 14 contests, and Manchester City had 6 wins, 7 losses and 1 draw.
In terms of the number of times they have won the Community Shield, Manchester City cannot compare with Manchester United. In the 18-year history of the Community Shield, Manchester United has won 1908 championships. The earliest can be traced back to 3. Most recently, last year, Manchester United defeated Chelsea 1:[-], and Manchester United has participated in this event for four consecutive years.
However, Manchester City has only a pitiful 3 times. The last time they participated in the Community Shield dates back to 1972. It has been nearly 40 years since now. The two sides can be said to be completely incomparable.
Especially in this season, after Manchester City's crazy investment, its strength on the bright side has not lost to Manchester City at all, and even slightly surpassed it.
After the end of last season, Manchester United's legendary midfielder Scholes officially retired, which is one of the reasons why Manchester United pursued Li Feng frantically in the summer.
As for the result, there is no need to describe it, and then Manchester United will turn to Inter Milan in Serie A. Unfortunately, Inter Milan's asking price is too high. After weighing, Manchester United gave up Sneijder.
Turned to Tottenham midfielder Modric. However, Manchester United is not the only one interested in Modric, but also the arch-rival Chelsea. Unfortunately, when the two teams were fighting for blood, the chairman of Tottenham actually stood up, and then Modric was marked as not for sale.
In the end, Ferguson turned his attention to Arsenal and the French attacking midfielder. Before that, Nasri had reached a stalemate with Arsenal due to salary issues, and then Arsenal used the Frenchman as a supplement when they pursued Li Feng.
This move immediately aroused Nasri’s dissatisfaction. The proud French genius issued a declaration of leaving the team during the introduction and interview. The conflict between the two parties could no longer be reconciled. In addition, the Frenchman’s contract has only one year left. In order not to lose everything, Arsenal can only push Nasri into the transfer market.
Although there are quite a few teams pursuing Nasri, not many are willing to pay high prices. After all, Nasri’s departure from the team is a foregone conclusion. At this time, no one wants to be taken advantage of. They even prefer to wait a year and get Nasri for free.
However, when the two sides fell into this deadlock, an offer from Manchester United made things turn around. Finally, after high-level discussions at Arsenal, Arsenal agreed to Manchester United's offer.
Immediately, Manchester United officially announced on the official website that Arsenal's French attacking midfielder has officially joined Manchester United. The transfer value is 2000 million pounds.
Manchester United lost not only Scholes this summer, but also their legendary goalkeeper Van der Sar. For this reason, Ferguson spent another £1780 to bring back the 21-year-old De Gea from Atletico Madrid.
The Manchester Derby is of extraordinary significance to both sides, especially for the new players who joined the team. This is their first time participating in the Manchester Derby. This is the best opportunity to gain recognition from the fans.
As for the media, they started jumping up and down as early as when the Manchester City duo were still in North America. After all, there are too many things worth reporting this summer.
Not to mention the old grudges, but the new grudges are football. Facing the simultaneous pursuit of the Manchester City duo, Li Feng actually rejected Manchester United and chose to join Manchester City. This behavior is enough for Manchester United fans to hold grudges.
In addition, the media also brought Li Feng and Nasri together. In order to pursue Li Feng, Arsenal used the Frenchman as a supplement. This is also the main reason why Arsenal and Nasri fell out.
Moreover, Manchester United's initial choice was not Nasri. In the media, Nasri was just a helpless choice for Manchester United after pursuing Li Feng to no avail.
Although what you said can be regarded as the truth, there are several meanings for your blatant slap in the face, so although Li Feng and Nasri have not met each other, Nasri already hates Li Feng.
Even Ferguson jumped out unwillingly, "Marco? I only know that he was a great player, the head coach? Oh~~~Sorry, I haven't played against him yet, so I don't know, but~~~ I still welcome Marco to coach in the Premier League."
"Sir Ferguson is a great coach. His achievements at Manchester United deserve everyone's respect. In terms of coaching, I am still a newcomer and I still have a lot to learn." When hearing this, the disappointment of the reporters on the scene was beyond words.
However, Van Basten's next words fully expressed his ambition, "I recently read such a sentence in a Chinese book, the waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead, and the new people in the world catch up with the old." Although the English media did not quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but judging by Van Basten's expression and tone, this sentence is obviously not a good word.
