The most low-key superstar

Chapter 314 The Curtain Opens

Due to the World Cup, the English league this season is a few days earlier than in previous years. Correspondingly, a big meal before the start of the league. Of course, this big meal is only relative to the Football Association. The time is advanced to August 8th .

With less than a week to go before the game, Manchester United are still making physical reserves.

As a last resort, Mr. Ferguson finally gave up the traditional thinking, changed the training plan, and learned Mourinho's training method, that is, physical training combined with the ball.

Nicole has heard of this kind of training before, but this is the first time he has experienced it personally. This training method actually increases the intensity of player training, while maintaining physical fitness, he can also conduct tactical drills at the same time.

After training every day, every player feels abnormal fatigue, although the doctors in the laboratory have some criticisms about this training method, thinking that it will affect the players' physical recovery.However, for a player with excellent physical fitness like Nickell, this is much more interesting than boring physical training.

But there is a bad news, that is, the old goalkeeper Van der Sar accidentally hit the post in the training game. After the inspection, Ferguson had to accept the bad news that the Dutchman was absent for a month. Before the start of the league, Van der Sar Sa's injury has cast a shadow over Manchester United's prospects this season.

On August 8th, the 9/2009 England Community Shield was contested at Wembley Stadium. The two sides of the competition were last season's FA Cup champion Chelsea and the league champion Red Devils Manchester United.

The two sides have confronted 153 games in history, and Manchester United has the upper hand with 68 wins, 46 draws and 39 losses.

Starting lineup, Manchester United, Foster replaced the injured Van der Sar, Evans started, Vidic was absent due to feeling unwell before the game, Rooney and Berbatov partnered forwards, the newly joined Owen and Valencia Entering the bench, Nicole sits in midfield.

Blues Chelsea coach Ancelotti chose Ivanovic as right back, John Terry and Carvalho partnered at center back, Drogba and Anelka joined hands as striker.

After the start of the game, Manchester United opened the scoring first. After Nicole broke through to the middle, he suddenly returned the ball. Nani kicked the world wave and gave the Red Devils the first place.

Nicole is in good form as always, but in this game, Nichols obviously changed some of his previous styles, paying more attention to coordination and cooperation between teammates. In Nicole's heart, he will never forget last season's Champions League Barcelona's smooth cooperation in the final was most unwilling to admit it, but Nicole knew that if they played again, it was unlikely that the winner would be Manchester United.

After conceding the ball, Chelsea launched a counterattack and quickly took advantage of a corner kick to equalize the score with a header from Carvalho. Goalkeeper Foster's attack error allowed Carvalho to score easily.

Subsequently, Chelsea counterattacked with Lampard scoring a controversial goal to overtake the score. At that time, Nicole was pushed from behind by Essien in midfield, but the referee turned a blind eye and allowed Chelsea to counterattack successfully.

The lagging Manchester United team launched a counterattack. Ferguson adjusted the lineup continuously. Owen, Giggs, Valencia, Fabio and others played one after another. Everyone didn't take this game seriously. This is a tacit understanding formed long ago. However, Ancelotti was not idle and made full use of the five substitutions. It seems that he is also inspecting players.

In stoppage time, Rooney, who was active in this game, relied on a cold shot in and out to bring the game to a penalty shootout.According to the competition system, if the game is tied after 90 minutes, the penalty shoot-out will be played directly. Manchester United is obviously not very lucky in penalty kicks. Petr Cech saved the penalties of Giggs and Evra one after another. Winning Manchester United 4-to-1, winning the Community Shield for the third time in history, this is also Ancelotti's first official game and first championship since he entered Stamford Bridge.

After Manchester United exited, the Chelsea players held a celebration ceremony with great interest, but it was also very brief. Perhaps this game really made the Manchester United fans who had already experienced the Champions League finals really uninterested, and there were very few Red Devils fans who came to watch the game. Not many, but quite a few Blues fans came, one was right outside the house, and the other was to see how the new coach was doing.

After the game, the performance evaluations of both sides of the media team were very objective. After all, it was 2:2. However, the young England goalkeeper Foster, who replaced the injured Van der Sar, was responsible for the two goals conceded,'he Could have done better, made some saves but nothing in the penalty shootout.Manchester United's goalkeeper position will become their biggest weakness. '

"Our performance is very good. Although we lost the game, it is acceptable from the process point of view." Ferguson is satisfied with the players' rapid entry into the game.

This game can be described as the most valuable warm-up match for Manchester United, looking for problems from the game, and the week after the game will be a good time for Manchester United to continue targeted training.

On August 8, the Premier League officially opened. On the first day of the game, both Chelsea and Manchester City won.Compared with Chelsea's 15:2 victory over Hull City, Manchester City's 1:6 rout of Blackburn is surprising.

The strength of Manchester United's first opponent Birmingham this season is comparable to that of Hull City facing Chelsea. The team has more players with Premier League experience than the other two newly promoted teams. posed more difficulties.

In the 67th minute of the second half, Nicole made a successful steal in midfield, and then quickly launched a long pass to counterattack. Rooney quickly crashed into the opponent's penalty area and volleyed into the net before the opponent's goalkeeper attacked.

Manchester United's 1-0 victory in this game is more convincing than Chelsea's 2-1 yesterday, because they created more chances in front of goal.It's just that the state of the Manchester United players is still adjusting. They hit the goal eleven times in the game, but only scored one goal.

However, the chubby Rooney quickly entered the state. This is a highlight of Manchester United's game. Bet, Rooney has set a goal of 20 goals in the league, which he has never achieved before.

Judging from the Community Shield and this league game, Rooney has entered the role and scored two consecutive games. Last season, he sacrificed many of his shooting opportunities because of the team's tactical reasons. It is more to contain the opponent. Now he has returned to the center. The position is the mainstay, the role in the offense and the grasp of opportunities are remarkable.

In addition to scoring goals, Rooney's many shots showed a strong desire to score. He also completed the task very well at the center position. He deserved to be elected as the best player in the game. I believe that as long as he is not troubled by injuries, Rooney will complete the 20-goal target It is perfectly possible.

"I must drink that bottle of wine." Rooney vowed to win the bottle of Scotch whiskey in the wine cabinet in Ferguson's office.

Another bright spot in the game is the eye-catching wing players.Compared with Manchester United's weakness on the wing last season, their performance will play a very critical role this season. In the game against Birmingham, Evra broke out. His assists are extremely sharp, almost equivalent to a left winger; defense It is not the first time that Evra has saved a dangerous ball on the goal line. In the Community Shield, he blocked Ivanovic's attack.

The other is the newly introduced Ecuadorian winger Antonio Valencia. His personal ability is outstanding. The joint attack with Fabio has caused great trouble for the opponent. There is no need to worry about the right road.

But Manchester United is not without problems, Rooney into the role, but another striker Dimitar Berbatov still needs to work.The cooperation between Berbatov and Rooney is not proficient in this game. With sufficient wingers, he needs to make more contributions and create more threats in the penalty area.

Of course, Mr. Ferguson is most relieved about Nicole. During the last team speech before the season, Nicole was officially appointed as the team's first captain, Vidic was promoted to the third captain, and Giggs was no longer the captain. job.
