Midfielder.

Chapter 196

Whether it is Chelsea or Manchester United, before the curtain of the Premier League kicks off, they are frantically sharpening the team. This start is very important to both parties.

However, for Mourinho, who has just arrived in England, he does not have any record to convince him. The media and colleagues in England will not pay too much attention to the honors of last season. Those trophies are important to them. Said that it is just the glory of the past, and it does not represent anything.

Sir Alex is also a Triple Crown champion, and the Premier League champions and FA Cup champions are much stronger than the Portuguese Super League leader and the Portuguese Cup.

Anyway, there are many people who don't like Mourinho and Chelsea. The problem of hating the rich is not caused by one or two people, but that many people like it.

As long as those who are used to using money to solve problems have trouble, these people who have been watching coldly will immediately swarm up.

Ever seen a wolf pack?Those who have a critical heart and can't find a way to vent it are like a pack of wolves, waiting to bite you to death at any time.

For these comments, Mourinho ignored them, because you can never manipulate everyone's thoughts, especially those who don't like you.

Of course, Lin Yi's response to the nonsense of those critics was more direct, "It's okay, don't compete with a group of idiots, wouldn't it be a pain in the ass."

Playing the first game of the new season well is what Mourinho needs to consider now. As for how those reporters are making noise in the newspapers, he doesn't want to know at all. Anyway, anyone with a brain knows what they will say Something, that is, those old sesame seeds and rotten millet that turned over and over.

But Mourinho really wants to thank Ranieri for his achievements last season, because he doesn't have to bother to prepare for the Community Shield.

Chelsea, empty-handed, can now sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight with peace of mind. It seems that they got nothing last season, and it’s not that bad. At least before the start of the new season, Chelsea don’t have to work hard to prepare for a deadlock, while Manchester United and Arsenal This pair of old enemies is about to take the lead in war.

If Ferguson does not want to put himself at a disadvantage in the battle with Mourinho, then the person he least wants to lose in the Premier League is probably the old French man from Arsenal. The war between the two of them, It has long been a beautiful landscape of the Premier League.

Of course, there is nothing to see about these two old men, but their fighting skills on and off the field have long become the most delicious meal in the Premier League.

Those tabloid reporters and columnists, before Chelsea turned out, the collision between Manchester United and Arsenal was the most anticipated every season.

Because as long as these two old men bump into each other, there will be absolutely no shortage of news, and every time they bump into each other, they will keep drooling.

At that time, Wenger would not show his French elegance, he would choose tit-for-tat. The war of words between him and Ferguson is nothing new. From criticizing the opponent's lineup and style of play, this Two old guys can even argue all the way down to each other's taste in clothes.

These are the two greatest old guys in the Premier League. Not only do they lead the team's record to make people feel jealous, but their news effect in the eyes of the media is also hundreds of times stronger than many people. It can be said that These two guys are a valuable asset to the entire Premier League, no one can compare.

But only before Mourinho appeared, because the Portuguese is also the focus of the media, although this focus is not necessarily good or bad.

But now these two old guys are about to meet again in the Community Shield game. Maybe Ferguson and Wenger are cursing God's arrangement.

While facing the pressure brought by Chelsea at the same time, the old enemies have to take the lead in a bloody battle, which is really cheap for the Portuguese.

But at this time, if someone wants to take a step back between Ferguson and Wenger and give up the Community Shield trophy, it is nothing more than a dream. Are they willing to lose to each other?Isn't that bullshit? Even if he broke his head, Ferguson couldn't lose to his old enemy in the game.

On August 2004, 8, the deathmatch between Ferguson and Wenger kicked off again. Everyone wanted to use this match to start their league debut.

Most of the main players on both sides are playing. It can be seen that everyone wants to get off to a good start. For those who are a bit superstitious, the start may trump everything else.

But it is obvious that Arsenal, which won the Premier League last season, will take the initiative on the field, especially their sharp offensive line, completely controlling the rhythm of the game. After a summer of polishing, he finally showed his excellent state.

Throughout the first half, Arsenal basically continued to attack. Manchester United goalkeeper Howard became the busiest person on the field.

Henry, Bergkamp, ​​Pennant, Reyes, these beastly guys, used strong shots to test Howard's reaction time and time again.

If it weren't for this American's high and low block, perhaps Manchester United's goal would have been knocked down by the opponent. Even the host who was in charge of explaining the game was constantly admiring. Mechel is possessed, he is simply the new goalkeeper of Manchester United!

I just don't know what kind of expression Ferguson will have when he hears this praise. I guess he can't laugh because his team is too embarrassed, without the deterrence of Ruud van Nistelrooy in the opponent's penalty area. Arsenal's defenders can be pressed out unscrupulously.

Alan Smith and Saha couldn't cause trouble for the German goalkeeper Lehmann at all in the frontcourt. Their shots were always far away from the goal.

It was really a kind of luck that Manchester United could defend the 0-0 result in the first half, but this kind of luck could not be with them forever. At the beginning of the second half, Robin van Persie, who replaced Henry, rushed in front of Howard. A header looking back at the moon knocked on Manchester United's door.

When the Dutchman headed the goal, he didn't even have a Manchester United player to keep up with him. This mistake made Ferguson completely angry.

This old guy, in front of all the fans, ruthlessly threw the water bottle in his hand, the anger shocked everyone!

1:0, this goal almost drove Ferguson to a dead end. The old Scottish man replaced 3 people in a row to strengthen the attack.

Saha was replaced by Rooney. When the Frenchman walked off the field, Ferguson didn't even stand up and pat him on the shoulder. It can be seen that Ferguson has lost confidence in this shooter who once shined in the Premier League, or he I have no patience to wait for the other party to explode.

And after Rooney came on the field, he immediately made those diehard Manchester United fans forget the existence of Saha. His first touch made Lehmann make a world-class save. It still hit the goal post hard, and Alan Smith followed up with a supplementary shot in time.

In less than 3 minutes, the score on the field had been tied by Manchester United. It took Rooney less than 3 minutes to conquer those fans with his performance.

When the fat man waved his hand to celebrate the goal with Alan Smith, the Manchester United fans on the sidelines had already cordially called his name.

"England's striker ace in the next ten years, maybe with his existence, we don't have to worry about Owen's injury, because this kid can score more goals, just like his performance on the field today, he can definitely become this The brightest new star in the Premier League this season."

When the host commented on Rooney's performance on the field, he was not stingy with the kind words. It can be seen that Rooney has successfully integrated into the team.

And Ronaldo, who gave him this chance to shoot, showed his sharpness in the European Championship in the next two or three breakthroughs.

Now no one continues to criticize his high transfer fee at the beginning, everyone is praising Ferguson, and he has made another discerning transaction.

But there are not only two young people shining in this arena. There are also many new guns produced in Arsenal's arsenal. Especially after Henry left the field, the entire Arsenal's frontcourt has completely become the world of young people. And their core has been replaced by a Spanish kid.

Cesc Fabregas, a name that was still unfamiliar before the start of the game, used his performance on the court to prove Wenger's ability to discover young players. Keeping the rhythm on the field, he became a well-deserved commander.

In the 70th and 78th minutes, this kid from Spain broke the balance of the field with two through balls with strong penetrating power.

Reyes and Ashley Cole each had one-on-one chances against Howard, and neither of them wasted Fabregas' pass.

One kick shot, one kick pierced the crotch, and scored two goals in 8 minutes. With a score of 3:1, Ferguson could only return to the coaching bench this time.

Although Manchester United also set off a fierce counterattack since then, when facing Lehmann, Rooney's header and Ronaldo's long-range shot from the outside were all saved, and Giggs' direct free kick was also very impressive. Unfortunately, it hit the crossbar, and Manchester United's chance of winning also went away.

3:1, this score has been maintained until the end of the whistle sounded, Ferguson can only very helplessly watching Arsenal win the championship trophy.

Wenger's team lifted the Community Shield for the 11th time. Although the weight of this trophy is not heavy, it is a blessing of good luck for him.

As for the media's questions about Ferguson after the game, all of them were rejected by the old Scottish man, because he was in a bad mood at the moment.

Losing to his old enemy before the official start of the new season is not a good sign for Ferguson, and the team's technical and tactical problems in the headwind situation also give this old Scottish man a Wake up, his Manchester United is not a perfect team.

When young players lose their way, there is no one in the Manchester United team who can guide them. Keane, a tough guy, can't play. It is indeed a loss, but even Ferguson can't guarantee that the Irishman will be unscathed throughout the season. Standing on the field without loss to direct.

According to that guy's fiery temper, he has to receive several red cards every season, but once this happens, who can become the soul on the field?

Ronaldo?Rooney?Or rely on Giggs to command them?I am afraid that even Ferguson himself has no way to answer this question, he can only continue to explore.

Manchester United's problems cannot be solved in a day or two. This defeat is simply a disaster for many diehard Manchester United fans.

Losing to Arsenal is not terrible, but the level of the entire team on the court, it seems, is not much better than last season.

This is what worries Manchester United fans the most. You must know that in the first five rounds of the league, the teams that Manchester United will encounter are not weak teams.

If there is an eventuality, perhaps Manchester United may become a chaser in the standings from the beginning of the league, and it will be very passive.

If the start in the league is not smooth, it will not be a good thing for Manchester United, which is gradually adjusting the age structure of its personnel.

Young people who cannot withstand the pressure are likely to face a spiritual test. Even if there is a collapse, it is not alarmist.

It's just that I don't know how the old man will deal with this unfavorable situation. Maybe this old Scottish man will use his magical wisdom again?

Who knows, maybe as a Manchester United fan, the best thing to do now is to go to a bigger church and pray for the fate of the Red Devils.

However, in the entire Community Shield game, many English media once again discovered a large number of new players from the lineups of the two teams.

Cesc Fabregas, Van Persie, Ronaldo, Rooney, these players may become the brightest stars in the Premier League in the next few years.

However, when the newspapers mentioned the performance of these players on the field, many newspapers and reporters mentioned Lin Yi's name intentionally or unintentionally. It can be seen that these media are picking future opponents for Lin Yi. I also want to see what the top bidder in the transfer market has.

If Lin Yi can't conquer these picky guys with his performance on the field, maybe he will be labeled as high salary and low ability by these people.

While these media promoted Ronaldo and others, they also indirectly transferred a kind of pressure to Lin Yi, but there is no way to do it. Who made Lin Yi's transfer worth so high by Chelsea? To such an extent, even if he didn't want to be the target of others' attention, it was impossible.

Many people are waiting to see the first match between Manchester United and Chelsea to see if the black-haired kid is really more practical than Rooney.

For such a game, Mourinho will naturally not miss it, but he was not at the scene, but just watched the peak match on TV.

"The highest level of confrontation in the Premier League, it seems that we do have a lot of opponents this season." Mourinho said to Brito after watching the game.

Indeed, this is not the Portuguese Super League. The Porto team only needs to pay attention to Benfica and Sporting Lisbon every season. This is the Premier League. Traditional giants and newly emerging teams are mixed in. The strong teams capsized in the gutter Sometimes, Chelsea will have many opponents.

It can be said that Chelsea must play [-] points from the beginning of the league, otherwise, no one will guarantee what will happen during the game.

However, after watching Manchester United's performance, Brito didn't seem to be so worried about the first game. The performance of the Red Devils seemed to be very sluggish.

"If Manchester United were excited, I wouldn't worry about it, but now, I have to be careful that these guys will explode very suddenly."

Mourinho is not as optimistic as Brito, because when Ferguson refused to accept the interview, he could see what the old man was thinking, how could such a person who is very obsessed with winning allow his own ball If the team is in such a downturn, he will definitely accumulate strength.

Losing to Arsenal has made him feel very embarrassed. Will this old guy allow the team to continue the losing streak?The first game is bound to be tough.

Although Manchester United conceded three goals today, apart from the two passes made by Fabregas after he came on the field, there were not many loopholes in their defense.

Most of the wounded defenders from last season have recovered after summer adjustments this time, which has made Manchester United's defense much stronger.

It's just that Ferguson didn't send all the main players in the back line. Only Brown and Gary Neville started, and Sylvester only played in the second half.

Lost the game 1:3, the performance of the back line can't be said how good it is, but these guys just ignored those two passes, the rest of the time was solid, maybe Fabregas turned out to hit them A surprise, or a desire to attack puts them too far ahead.

At least they didn't have the sense of powerlessness they showed against Porto last season, and don't forget, Ferdinand hasn't played yet.

Although England's number one central defender did not play in the Community Shield game, it does not mean that he will be absent in the first round of the league. Judging from the performance of that guy in the European Championship, Mourinho dare not say that this is the case. It's not that the old man is laying an ambush for himself, or hiding his strength.

After all, the Community Shield game is not a top honor, and it is not impossible for that old guy to keep a hand at a critical moment.

If Ferdinand can play and Brown can also start, with Sylvester and Gary Neville, then the Red Devils' defense is not a display.

Even if Mourinho is to knock on this line of defense, he will have to spend a lot of thought. The current Manchester United is not the incomplete army of last season.

This game at Stamford Bridge will be a fierce battle, and even Mourinho himself has no way to predict who the final winner will be. . .

(Tonight, the men's football team will play against Qatar. If we win, the group will basically qualify, and I should prepare for the tenth round...)
