king of world football

From the official disbandment on June 6th to the offseason, the Manchester City training camp did not reopen until July 5th. Wang Feng and Lu Yao had just returned to Manchester the day before after they had settled all matters in Madrid.

During this period of more than a month, the Chinese superstar has not participated in any commercial activities, and the group affairs are mainly conducted remotely, so as to spend a good time with their families.

This is also to compensate for the separation during the season, especially when the schedule is dense, it is almost difficult to spare time for family members.

Of course, the price is that his physical condition has become a bit worse. Although daily routine exercises and ball touch training continue, after all, he lacks field equipment.

In addition, there are many styles of Chinese food in various places, which are really delicious. When I was young, I could resist with perseverance. Now that I am full of honors, it is easy to feel slack and eat a little bit.

However, after a detailed inspection by the team doctor, he thought that the problem was not serious, and he could recover after half a month of regular exercise.

Wang Feng is still a relatively normal player, and Gundogan has gained a round of weight with the naked eye. Even if his injury recovers, if he wants to return to the starting lineup, he may have to work hard.

The old captain Kompany wished to completely let go of himself, and he suddenly gained more than ten catties. The other main players also gained weight. The players who are in the best condition are Walker, Danilo and other players who have just transferred.

While Guardiola was angry, he also had a headache. These guys really want to rest on their laurels, this is not possible!

So he and the coaching staff urgently discussed a set of devil training methods, which greatly increased the intensity of physical exercise for the players, enough to be exhausted after a day.

Manchester City immediately wailed, and many people wanted to take the lead in protesting, but seeing that the biggest star in the team, Wang Feng, was meticulously implementing the arrangements, they couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, and could only grit their teeth and persist.

Seeing this situation, the Spanish coach nodded secretly. He truly understood why Inter Milan and Real Madrid can always achieve good results in a row, and how important it is to have an excellent example and leader!

Many giants were ruined by their core players, who took the lead in engaging in privileges, laziness in training, and even publicly protested against the head coach. The other players naturally followed suit, and they ignored all the arrangements of the coaching staff.

.........

Ten days after the devil's training camp, the entire Manchester City team went to the United States to carry out summer training, with some commercial activities attached. Wang Feng also used this time to focus on dealing with many of his commercial endorsements.

They played several warm-up matches with Manchester United, Real Madrid, Tottenham and West Ham United. Except for losing to the Red Devils at the beginning, Blue Moon played more and more smoothly in other games and won all of them.

Guardiola also used these contests to polish the main lineup for the new season, with Ederson as the goalkeeper replacing Bravo in the starting lineup.

The 24-year-old Brazilian played well in Benfica last season. He started 40 games and scored 24 clean sheets. He became one of the biggest contributors to the team's double crown in the Portuguese Super League and Portuguese Cup.

His agility, reaction speed and save accuracy are all better than the 34-year-old Chilean veteran, and he is believed to be able to carry the banner of the Blue Moon goalkeeper in the future.

Four defenders Danilo, Benjamin Mendy, Otamendi and Walker.

Stones made rapid progress. He and Danilo formed a competitive trend. It was difficult for Kompany's physical condition and strength to continue to meet the starting level, so he entered the rotation and the captain's armband was handed over to David Silva.

In addition, Delph, Laporte, and Zinchenko are also the main substitutes.

The three midfielders De Bruyne, Fernandinho, David Silva, and Gundogan are also in the focus of Guashuai's investigation. The Spaniard hopes that he can take over Fernandinho's position.

There is also Phil Foden, a 17-year-old teenager born after 18. He was born in the youth training of Manchester City. With his outstanding performance in the U[-] echelon last year, he was promoted to the first line by the head coach.

The three strikers B-Silva, Wang Feng and Sane, Aguero, Sterling and Jesus are on standby.

.........

Before the opening of the new season of the major European leagues, there are warm-up Super Cup matches. The two sides of the competition are the domestic league and cup champions, and England is no exception.

It's just that it's not called the Super Bowl here, but the Community Shield.

The game originally called the Charity Shield was founded in 1908. At that time, the form was a confrontation between professional teams and amateur teams, and it was intended to strengthen exchanges between the two.

It was not until 1974 that it was changed to a strong collision between the league champions and the FA Cup champions, attracting more and more fans' attention.

If Manchester City wins the league and the FA Cup at the same time, it will be supplemented by the runner-up of the league, so Blue Moon's opponent this time is still the old face Chelsea.

It is the first official game of the Premier League season, marking the start of a new journey, and it is also raising funds for public welfare, with a very high reputation.

However, at the beginning of the new century, British investigations found that the FA's use of income from the Charity Shield had violated fund regulations and could no longer be called charity, so it was forced to change its name to the Community Shield.

Different from other cup competitions, the prize won by the winning team is not a trophy but a shield, which is octagonal and inwardly recessed, with moiré decoration and name engraved in the middle.

Under the new system, Blue Moon has almost no qualifications, and it was not until 2012 that it won the award shield for the first time.

Guardiola attaches great importance to this contest and tries his best to win it.

The addition of the new aid he personally selected did not disappoint the fans, which greatly improved the stability and strength of the pass control lineup, and Manchester City controlled the scene more smoothly.

In the first half, Walker went forward from the wing and knocked De Bruyne across. The latter slanted into the penalty area.

Chelsea, on the other hand, showed great patience and resilience. On the one hand, they pushed across the board to defuse the opponent's continuous attacks, and on the other hand, they waited for the opportunity to turn into Rufeng.

In the 71st minute of the easy side battle, they organized a counterattack through a long pass from the backcourt to find Hazard at the front of the penalty area. The Belgian forward feinted twice in a row to deceive the Manchester City defender, and then pushed and scored from the far corner.

Approaching stoppage time, Wang Feng pulled to the left to form a cooperation with Sane, then sent a low pass, and then David Silva outflanked and pushed the near end and succeeded.

With this quasi-lore, Manchester City finally beat Chelsea 2:1 to win this pre-season game.

.........

In addition to the Community Shield, before the start of the league, Manchester City will also compete with the last Europa League champion Manchester United to compete for the European Super Cup.

The big blue moon never had a chance to get their hands on it, so many Manchester City fans came with the team to the Philip II National Arena in Macedonia, wanting to cheer for the home team and witness them break through history again.

Guardiola only fine-tuned the lineup, Aguero started instead of the B seat, and the rest of the staff remained unchanged.

In the first half, an attack by Manchester City was cleared. De Bruyne controlled the ball on the right side of the penalty area.

Changing sides to fight again, Sane waded through two defensive players in a row, and then passed back in an inverted triangle. The Chinese superstar moved to attract the defense, but cleverly gave way, and the ball passed through him to the top of the arc.

Fernandinho rushed to the horse, swung his right foot and fired vigorously, piercing through De Gea's ten fingers.

After that, the score did not continue to change. Manchester City defeated Manchester United 2-0 and won the first European Super Cup in team history.
