Chapter Three Hundred and Forty Seventh Confidence

The Community Shield is about to start at the new Wembley Stadium.

This is a match between Manchester United and Manchester City. The Manchester derby always attracts a lot of fans' attention. What's more, Manchester United and Manchester City are considered to be the two most promising teams to win the championship. The direct confrontation between the two teams attracts more attention. .

There were 20,000 Manchester United fans and 20,000 Manchester City fans, and the rest were neutral fans.

This is due to the fact that the FA has limited the number of fans in Manchester. Fans of any team hope to see the first game of the new season on the spot. Those fans who have not bought tickets can only play at the stadium. Watch the game up close in the square outside.

At this time, the new Wembley Stadium is already very lively.

The cheers of the fans filled the entire stadium, making the atmosphere very hot. When the players of the two teams came out of the tunnel, the shouting in the audience became even louder.

There were also some 'boo' sounds, which were 'gifted' by the fans of the two teams to the coach of the other team. They all heard what happened at the pre-match press conference, and naturally they wanted to express their support for their own coach.

The on-site commentator Joann Brown also said about this, "We just heard an interesting news. At the pre-match press conference, Manchester United coach Ferguson and Manchester City coach Wan Sheng attended together, and the two had an argument at the venue. Very powerful, completely disregarding any demeanor."

"The two have had a lot of grudges in the past. Wan Sheng used to be the head coach of Manchester United's youth team, and he left the Manchester United club after a conflict with the youth training director of the Manchester United club. After coaching Derby County, he defeated Manchester United to win the FA Cup. , and then coaching Manchester City, winning the League Cup, the FA Cup, and two league titles in a row, also cost Manchester United a lot of titles."

"Wan Sheng and Sir Alex Ferguson are in a direct hostile relationship. The two are almost on the same page. This also made the Manchester derby even more popular. Let's see, the fans of the two teams at the scene responded with 'boos' to each other. "

"Seeing the beginning, we can see how hot the game will be..."

With the introduction of Joann Brown, the two teams stood on both sides of the court. Under the whistle of the referee, the whole game began.

————

The beginning of the game was very bloody, and the game was quite bloody. Manchester City sent a 352 offensive formation to launch an offensive against Manchester United.

Although this was the first game of the season, Manchester City was not conservative at all, and without even a test, they launched the attack directly.

Many people were surprised to see Manchester City's style of play.

The reporters in the media booth couldn't help but sigh, "This Chinese is really strong, how dare he fight like this in the face of Manchester United!"

"He said before that Manchester City will definitely win, I'll see how they win!"

Many Manchester City support media are also looking forward to it.

In fact, they are still a little uncertain about what Manchester City will be like this season. Manchester City's strength is undeniable, and it has definitely not declined, but it is not necessarily the case.

In the history of football, many teams cannot “dominate” for a long time. Because winning consecutive championships will make the team lose their upward momentum, Manchester City encountered a similar problem. They won the league championship for two consecutive seasons.

So how much fighting spirit can Manchester City have this season?

Nobody can know.

On the contrary, Manchester United is different.

Manchester United haven't won a title in four years since 2003.

In 2004, Arsenal won the championship.

In 2005, Derby County's miracle year, they were the champions.

In 2006 and 2007, Wan Sheng led Manchester City to consecutive championships.

Losing the league title for four years has made Manchester United, the former Premier League overlord, lose face, so they boost their morale in the new season and will definitely be able to play better.

But no matter how you analyze it, at least at the beginning of this Community Shield, Manchester City played very strongly. Their 352 formation unfolded and they attacked Manchester United for more than 2 minutes in a row.

Manchester United's defense is also quite tough.

They built a solid line at the front of the penalty area, and a decisive tackle by Manchester United centre-back Vidic finally stopped City's continuous offensive.

Vidic's tackles were quite clean and won praise from many media commentators.

"Vidic has a beautiful tackle. Since joining Manchester United, he and Ferdinand have been very good partners. Many people even think that he is better than Ferdinand."

Wan Sheng was also very impressed when he saw this tackle.

Vidic!

The Sevilla defender was brought to the Premier League by himself. He played for Derby County more than two years ago and is the team's main centre-back.

In the two seasons at Derby County, Vidic's performance was quite stable, during which time, the football training master system also helped him to improve a lot.

Although after Wansheng coached Manchester City, Vidic did not have the ability bonus of various coaching skills, but the attributes he improved were real, and it was enough for him to become an excellent central defender.

Now that Vidic can perform so well, Wansheng is also very relieved. After all, he is a player who has been trained by himself. Even when he reaches the arch-rival Manchester United, he has already made his mark.

As Manchester Sports Channel's Peter Lott said at this time, "Vidic was brought to England by Wansheng. He played for Derby County for two years and was a player trained by Wansheng. Now he has become the arch enemy Manchester United. The main players of the Manchester derby, it is really interesting to be able to stage a master-apprentice match."

Wan Sheng doesn't care about this.

In the football training master system, he chose "Training Specialization". He was good at training young players. Now he is very pleased to see the players he has trained appear in the opponent's lineup and perform well.

It may be imagined that one day when the team he leads plays against the opponent, the opponent's players are all cultivated by himself... That's really interesting. At that time, he may be called the "Godfather" by the world football.

If that's the case, his team may not necessarily be able to defeat the opponent. After all, the opponent's strength is too strong, and relying on the bonus of skills can make up for the attributes, but if there is not too much gap, the opponent can win if they play well. .

But it's still too early.

There is only Vidic in the entire Manchester United squad.

————

Manchester United have been playing Manchester City for two seasons.

Manchester derby, Manchester United losing is nothing new, in the process of losing, Manchester United is also summing up experience, now they have a good understanding of Manchester City's tactics.

So when the game started, Manchester United showed a tough defense. They used every means to disrupt the offensive that Manchester City was going to start. They knew that they could not let Manchester City pass the ball happily, otherwise Manchester City would play a gorgeous offensive and their performance It will get better and better, and Manchester United will become more and more passive.

At the same time, in the offense, Manchester United also tried to reduce personal dribbling. Simply put, it means not to play head-on with Manchester City players, and to use the pass to stretch the space, so as to seek a good opportunity to score.

Targeted play in both defense and offense can indeed make up for some tactical gaps.

So in the opening stage, Manchester City was not able to enter the state quickly, and they were not able to play any advantages. They and Manchester United had each other's offense and defense, and the field was evenly divided.

In the stalemate of the scene, the football has been rolling around in the center line. The two sides launched a fierce fight for the midfield, and both wanted to gain an advantage in the battle for the control of the midfield.

Seeing the game on the field, many Manchester United media reporters thought that Wansheng's tactics have been thoroughly studied by Manchester United, and Manchester United's targeted play has already been able to gain an advantage.

"Next, soon Manchester City will be beaten like dead dogs..."

Many people thought.

They all believed that Manchester City was strong in the first two seasons because their tactical play had an advantage and had not been thoroughly studied by other teams.

In addition, since 2004, Manchester United has been in the process of 'exchange'. The veterans are old, the new stars have not grown up, and the team is somewhat inexorable. Coupled with the influence of the acquisition of the Glazer family, Manchester United is naturally unable to compete for the championship.

It's different now.

The Manchester United club has regained stability from top to bottom. New stars such as Wayne Rooney and C-Ronaldo have grown up. Coupled with the increased investment in the transfer market in the summer, Manchester United has re-emerged.

When Manchester United is back on the rise, what will Manchester City do?

What if they were the reigning league champions last season? Championship, that was last season, this season should belong to Manchester United.

In this game, Manchester United's goal is to beat Manchester City!

Didn't Manchester City say that Manchester United didn't beat them in two seasons? Then we'll beat them once and see what else they have to say!

That's what the whole Manchester United team thinks, and it's what the fans and the media think too.

So on the field, Manchester United played with high morale. With a strong desire to win, they competed with Manchester City in the midfield, launched a strong attack with Manchester City, and constantly released pressure on Manchester City at halftime, wanting to break Manchester City. line of defense.

Seeing Manchester United's performance, the fans in the stands also shouted excitedly to cheer for Manchester United.

Many media reporters are also looking forward to Manchester United's performance.

However, the truth is often cruel.

Although Manchester United and Wansheng's Manchester City have had a lot of experience in the past two seasons, and have studied Manchester City's tactics, the summer transfer has supplemented the strength, and the targeted play has also been arranged in the preparations... But these conditions are added to At the same time, it cannot be denied the fact that Manchester City is not much worse than Manchester United in terms of individual player ability and overall strength of the team. Coupled with the addition of Wansheng’s series of coaching skills, Manchester City has surpassed Manchester United in overall terms.

This is absolutely unbelievable. Manchester United is one of the top teams in the world. They have top stars one by one. No team dares to say that they are stronger than Manchester United.

But that's what it is, and that's why it's cruel.

If it was two seasons, or even a season ago, Wan Sheng would not have dared to say that, but now that he has coached Manchester City for two seasons, the situation is different. The young players in the team have grown up, they have strength and game experience, Not much worse than those famous stars.

So Manchester City is not afraid of Manchester United at all!

This is the foundation of Wansheng!

It is with such confidence that he dared to make a declaration of victory at the press conference in front of many reporters and Manchester United manager Ferguson. (To be continued ~^~.)
