Chapter 420 Community Shield Cup
The Community Shield, which existed as the opening match of the Premier League, was previously called the Charity Shield, but was later renamed the Community Shield due to legal issues related to the operation of the fund.

The participating teams are last season's FA Cup champion and Premier League champion. If the two are the same team, then the FA Cup champion and the Premier League runner-up will face off instead.

Therefore, the two sides in this cup match are Manchester United and Chelsea.

The Community Shield is the highest-level friendly match between Premier League teams. There is no appearance fee for the participating teams, and no bonus for the winner. All the ticket revenue from the game is used for charity donations.

Although for the team, the direct commercial value of this game is not as good as playing a friendly match, the long-term value it generates has gone beyond the scope of friendly matches.

Therefore, Manchester United and Chelsea will do their best to deal with this game.

At 12:25 noon, the Chelsea bus arrived at the new Wembley Stadium, and the players entered the channel already covered with huge Chelsea posters and Community Shield posters.

The flashes went off non-stop.

Meiyan did not accompany the team as expected.

At 12:30, the Manchester United bus arrived, and the players also entered their own channel and entered the dressing room.

The reporters who have been here for a long time can't wait to fill their memory cards with photos of Manchester United generals who performed well in the warm-up match, especially the big man!
He played a few minutes in the last warm-up match, which proves that he has basically recovered, but it is just a state problem, and will this game be his first comeback game?

Journalists are waiting.

At 12:56, the list of matches was announced.

For Manchester United, because Rojo, Shaw, and Young are still on the injury list, Jones and Bailey are also suspended, and in three days, they will play a more important European Super Cup, so, Mourinho had to stay put and put two young players who performed well in the warm-up match in the lineup.

Ibrahimovic did not start.

Mourinho has a 3-4-3 formation, goalkeeper Romero, defenders Blind, Lindelof, Mensah, midfielders Carrick, Ye Tian, ​​Herrera, McTominay, strikers Martial, Rashford, Mata.

Ibrahimovic, Matic, Fellaini, De Gea, etc. are all on the bench.

Conte's side is still 3-4-3, goalkeeper Courtois, defenders Azpilicueta, Cahill, Luiz, midfielders Moses, Fabregas, Kante, Alonso, striker William , Pedro, Batshuayi; Rudiger, Bakayoko, and Morata are all on the bench.Azar is injured.

This start is similar to last season's start, except that Cesc Fabregas replaced Matic, who had left the team, and Batshuayi replaced Costa, who had not returned to the team.

It seems that Conte is trying to make up the gap between Batshuayi and Costa with the attack power of Xiaofa.

At 13:12, the two teams warmed up, 42 points warmed up, 54 points, lined up at the exit, held the hands of the little caddy, and played!

After various opening songs, handshake and photo taking, coin guessing, etc., the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

Compared with Chelsea, Manchester United's defense has changed a lot, from 4 defenders to 3 defenders, plus Ye Tian, ​​a free agent. After the opening, Chelsea hoped that they could try the water of Manchester United's new defense line. They faced Manchester United. On the right side of Chelsea (Chelsea's left side), the rookie Mensa attacked wildly.

Even Moses came to Alonso's side to cooperate. After continuous passing, Moses got a chance to single out with Mensa outside the penalty area.

Fiddled with the football along the penalty area line and cut to the middle, Moses felt that it was not difficult to deal with Mensa.

When he was about to pass Mensa and go deeper into the restricted area, he caught a glimpse of Ye Tian from the corner of his eye who had come to assist him.

So, he immediately passed the ball to the center, thinking, since Ye Tian came over, there must be an open space here, and his teammates must be able to run there.

Moses was concentrating on the breakthrough, and his head was lowered. After he passed the ball, he realized that there was indeed an open space, but his teammate Cesc Fabregas was caught by another Manchester United rookie, McTominay. Tucked in behind, Herrera has easily intercepted his pass.

Then, his eyes blurred, Ye Tian had already rushed towards them halfway.

Herrera successfully intercepted Ye Tian who passed back forward. Ye Tian didn't stop and dribble the ball to compete with Chelsea's offensive players, but kicked the ball directly to the frontcourt.

The ball landed near the center line, this is a counterattack by Manchester United!
Chelsea had three at the back, with Luiz trailing behind, Cahill chasing back and Azpilicueta on the ball.

United had three up front, but Mata dropped deep and the ball was over his head.

Martial met the ball and fought for the ball with Azpilicueta. Rashford ran forward from the center to the right, between Cahill and Luiz.

Azpilicueta touched the ball first, but the ball had a strong spin and he couldn't control it, the ball stopped a little too wide and that gave Martial a chance.

Martial is a player who prefers to attack. His ball handling skills are almost top-notch, and he is also very fast.

Azpilicueta stopped the ball too much, and Martial immediately circled the opponent, took the ball forward, and quickly followed up.

In this way, one is still in place, the other has moved forward, and the two immediately differ by one position.

Azpilicueta's defense was weak, and he knew it was going to be bad. After Martial moved forward, he used the ball as a boundary. In Chelsea's backcourt, only the goalkeeper and Luiz were left behind. Charles and Rashford, Cahill has long been left behind by Rashford.

Martial can move forward by himself or pass Rashford. This is an excellent offensive opportunity for Manchester United!

Azpilicueta ruined this chance!

He didn't catch up to Martial, but he grabbed Martial's jersey with his hand and pulled him to the ground.

The referee blew the whistle, and Azpilicueta knew that he had to take the card.

One yellow card.

No controversy.

Here, after Chelsea got a yellow card shortly after the start, Manchester United McTominay also got a yellow card.

This yellow card is not a tactical foul, but a rookie playing the game. The scale of the foul and the range of motion have not yet been grasped. When defending Xiaofa received the ball, he tackled the foot from the side.

After 10 minutes of playing, the Chelsea players felt very tired.

Among their 11 players on the field, except for Batshuayi, the others have played against Manchester United more than once, but none of them have been aggrieved for these 10 minutes!

Before, Manchester United had to use long passes through the midfield, and Fellaini, Ibrahimovic, and Ye Tian grabbed the high points in the frontcourt. This tactic was used to fight against them, but in these 10 minutes, Manchester United only played in the backcourt. The fence was set up on the field, and then, a few easy and simple passes posed a threat to their goal.

They are playing on the counter-attack, and they are extremely efficient.

This is not the way to go!

Conte began to command from the sidelines, signaling the team not to press too much.

The players understand in seconds, and we are also very good at counterattacks!

Conte really wanted to fight back, but the meaning of this counterattack was to pull Ye Tian to the frontcourt.

He has already seen that Manchester United's offense is still on Ye Tian, ​​and he is the first pass of the offense.

So, if Manchester United is allowed to push forward on the ground, Ye Tian's first pass must be changed, will he not pull to the frontcourt?
If Ye Tian went to the frontcourt, Manchester United's backcourt defense would drop to a level.

After all, although he had only 10 steal and 1 interception in the past 1 minutes, Conte could see clearly that Ye Tian kept shaking his head from side to side, shouting and gesturing to his teammates on the field, he was Manchester United Defense Commander.

Conte doesn't understand how Mourinho transformed a frontcourt commander into a backcourt commander in a short period of time, but he has already seen the efficiency of Manchester United's backcourt, and Ye Tian has made great contributions.

Therefore, to lure Ye Tian forward and penetrate the defense without Ye Tian, ​​this is Conte's impromptu response after watching the game for 10 minutes.

Seeing that Chelsea's formation was no longer pressing, Mourinho glanced at Conte, who was gesturing to his own disciples, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

He knows that Conte has understood Manchester United's defense, but there is no way to solve it for a while, so he wants to change his thinking.

However, don't I have a countermeasure?
In order to avoid confusion in the team, Mourinho still raised his hand and gestured on the sidelines, reminding his disciples not to worry according to the practice during training.

Ye Tian really stepped forward.

曼联的阵型开始发生了变化，如果说，之前是3-1-3-3的站位，现在就变成了3-2-2-2-1的站位。

Ye Tian raised it, but Herrera was protecting him, Mata retreated, and Martial and Rashford frequently switched positions.

The three defenders in the backcourt did not move, and Carrick and McTominay formed a barrier in front of the three defenders.

The attack was instigated by Mata and Herrera, who had a good understanding with Ye Tian.

Martial and Rashford frequently switched positions.

This is their squad attack mode.

In this mode, because there are not many participants, it is difficult for him to use the width of the court, pay more attention to the control of the ball, and use various methods to complete the penetration of the enemy camp.

Various methods can be understood as pass and cut cooperation, and...extraordinary.

Therefore, the fans were pleasantly surprised to find that the former Serie A dribble king, only Ye Tian, ​​who averaged 1.9 dribbles per game in the Premier League last season, frequently dribbled the ball...

Use surmounting to penetrate the opponent's defense. If successful, the blow to the opponent will be fatal. The three people in MSN all have extremely strong surmounting abilities. Of course, there are still super and top-level points, but just because they are super Strong ability to surpass people, which makes it almost impossible for the opponent to organize effective defense after the combination.

Because of various defensive methods, after being passed, there is only one option left for fouling.

Ye Tian looked at Kante on his side, and Fabregas in front of him, and heard Herrera reminding William behind him that he was trying to form a siege, so he firmly pushed the ball forward to face Fabregas. .
