Chapter 907 Community Shield Cup
Everything is ready for the new season, and Manchester United is ready to go.

The time has come to the beginning of August, and before the start of the new Premier League season, there are two games waiting for King Tiger's Manchester United.

One is the Community Shield, which will be held on August 8.

One is the UEFA Super Cup, which takes place on August 8.

Although these two games are not the Premier League, Kintag always feels that these two games are similar to the Premier League.

Because the opponents in these two games are old acquaintances from the Premier League.

The two sides in the Community Shield Cup are the league champions and cup champions.

But Manchester United won the domestic league and two cups last season, while Manchester City won three runners-up, so the two sides in the Community Shield this time became the Manchester derby again.

The UEFA Super Cup is the winner of the UEFA Champions League against the winner of the UEFA Europa League.

Last season's Champions League champion was Manchester United, while the Europa League champion was Liverpool. This time the UEFA Super Cup has become the English Derby.

At Wembley Stadium on August 8, the Community Shield game was officially staged.

Regarding Wembley Stadium, there is another episode.Some time ago, the stadium has been undergoing emergency summer repairs, which were just completed a week ago.Therefore, the farewell match of Double Virtues was placed at Old Trafford.

Because of the choice of stadium, some extreme Liverpool fans and Chelsea fans have expressed their dissatisfaction.They all believe that their respective clubs should hold another special farewell match to bid farewell to the legendary stars of their respective teams.

Another Premier League team, Tottenham, also forged a new relationship with Wembley Stadium.

In the summer of 2017, White Hart Lane completed its final mission and retired with honor.The new home is still being built at the original site, and Chairman Levy has already confirmed the name of the new home: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The new stadium is expected to be put into use in the 2018-2019 season. Prior to that, they will play all games next season at Wembley Stadium.

Kintag met Guardiola on the sidelines of the court, and the two shook hands.

Guardiola was full of spring breeze: "Tiger, the new season has finally begun. Last season we failed in the fourth-tier championship. Now I can't wait to fight you and avenge my failure!"

Kintag smiled slightly: "Josep, I'm afraid you will be disappointed again today. Manchester United will still win all the championships this season."

"See you on the court!"

"it is good!"

Looking at Guardiola's smug face, Kintag is very clear that Guardiola is full of confidence in the new season, especially Manchester City's aggressive signings in the summer, which makes Guardiola full of confidence.

In this summer, Manchester City spent a super high transfer fee of 2.5 million euros and introduced a total of seven players.

8000 million euros for winger Mahrez, 4600 million euros for England defender Kyle Walker, 4500 million euros for Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva, 3600 million euros for Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson, 2700 million euros for Brazilian defender Danilo, plus young Luiz, Kayode and other young players.

In addition to strong signings, Manchester City did not lose any players this summer. Except for letting go of the young Ishinacho and Onal, Manchester City retained all of the main lineup of the "Four Asia Kings" last season and completed it smoothly. Renew!

In this case, Guardiola has more expectations for this season!

In this game, Guardiola is still a 4-3-3 formation: the goalkeeper is Ederson; the four defenders are Danilo, Stones, Kompany and Kyle Walker; the three midfielders are Fernandinho, Silva and Pogba; the three forwards are Sterling, Aguero and Jesus.The seven substitute players are: Bravo, Otamendi, Mangala, Bernardo Silva, Nasri, Yaya Toure, Gundogan.

This lineup can be said to be the best lineup that Guardiola has arranged. The only regret is that Mahrez cannot appear.Because Kintag set the avoidance principle in the transfer contract, Mahrez was unable to play against Manchester United, which is Guardiola's regret.

But despite this, Manchester City's frontcourt is still very luxurious.Especially the attack line composed of Sterling, Aguero and Jesus, plus Silva and Pogba behind him, Manchester City is full of attack power.

On the defensive end, the debut of three new aids also added new guarantees to Manchester City's defense.

Danilo and Kyle Walker, one left and one right, updated Manchester City's two wing defenses; goalkeeper Ederson is the main goalkeeper chosen by Guardiola.

Manchester City is strong and strong, and they are full of confidence in the face of Manchester United.

In this game, Manchester United formed a 4-3-3 formation: the goalkeeper is De Gea; the defense is Van Dijk and Coulibaly partnering central defenders, Alonso and Kimmich are on the left and right; Te, Kroos and De Bruyne; the two wingers Salah and Griezmann are on the left and the right; Lewandowski is at the center.The substitutes are Romero, Ashley Young, Valencia, Nainggolan, Nabi Keita, Fekir, Mbappe.

Compared with last season, this lineup has exactly the same starting lineup.As for the bench lineup, apart from the addition of Mbappe and Nabi Keita, even the bench lineup is extremely similar.

Faced with this situation, many people raised doubts before the game.

At the press conference before the game, Kintiger said to everyone very proudly: "This is a seven-time champion team, and it has defended the Champions League. Almost all the best players in the world are in Manchester United, so we There is no need to sign in at all! As long as the players are healthy, the champions of the new season will still be ours!"

Hall, a reporter from the "Manchester Evening News" who was in the audience at the time, is now sitting in the VIP room, watching the players warming up on the field, waiting for the start of the game.

He saw Jin Taige below, talking and laughing happily with Guardiola, with the demeanor of a general.

He suddenly remembered a few years ago, when Kintag just took over as Manchester United coach.

At that time, Jin Taige was low-key and humble, and even spoke and acted a little cautiously, which made people feel that he was too cautious.

But now Jin Taige has completely changed.

At the beginning, Jin Taige always said to the media: "The opponent is very powerful, and we will work hard to defeat them."

But now Kintag often holds his head up and says: "We are the best team in the world, and our players deserve all the victories."

Whether judging from his press conference or his usual style of speaking and doing things, he is much more confident and proud.This kind of pride is not a derogatory term, but the kind of indifference and calmness that re-examines everything after experiencing great honor and disgrace.

But Hall was also extremely proud of Kim Tag.

He is the coach of the seven crowns, he defended the Champions League, he made Manchester United reach the pinnacle, standing on the top of the mountain in international football!
Such a person full of honor, why not be proud!
