Manchester City defeated Manchester United 5-3 and won the Community Shield!
After the game, the entire UK was in a state of excitement.
No one thought that the Community Shield before the game could be played so excitingly.
The two teams scored a total of eight goals, making it a goal-scoring battle.
Although they missed out on the Community Shield, Manchester United head coach Ferguson still spoke highly of the game in an interview with the media after the game, saying that Manchester United's players showed a good spirit.
"In fact, this is a charity warm-up match. Neither of us pays too much attention to it. It is more about adjusting the lineup."
Ferguson said that he was satisfied with Manchester United's players and believed that after another week of rest, the team would be able to greet the new season in better shape and mental outlook.
After winning the Community Shield, Gao Shen was equally excited.
While the players won the Community Shield, he also expressed excitedly on the sidelines that he was satisfied with the performance of his players and the performance of several new players. At the same time, he did not forget to fight back against the media reporters.
"Van Persie delivered a wonderful duel!"
"He directed three goals by himself. I don't know what other people think, but I have always felt that he is an exciting and exciting star. I am looking forward to his performance in the new season.
"
Regarding Manchester City's new season, Gao Shen shouted unceremoniously, "We vow to win the Premier League championship!"
Not only that, Gao Shen even said that tonight's game gave him unprecedented confidence.
"Not only the Premier League, but also the Champions League. All of us will do our best to give our best performance in the Champions League. We will use hard facts to prove our strength again!"
"In the Premier League, we want the championship! In the Champions League, we also want the championship!"
Manchester City's players also heard the shouts from the head coach, and every one of them showed high morale. They all shouted excitedly that they wanted to win the championship and perform even better than last season.
Van Persie also accepted an interview with the media after the game and said that an important reason for joining Manchester City was the experienced head coach.
"He is a very amazing manager and has always been so from the moment I heard his name. I have always believed that he can lead the team to success. This is why I joined Manchester City.
"
"I want to win the championship!"
Robben also said in an interview with the media that this Community Shield will be a great encouragement to Manchester City.
"Perhaps, many people don't believe me when I say this, but the fact is that we have not tried our best."
"In the new season, we have to fight on two fronts, the Premier League and the Champions League. This is very difficult, especially in the Champions League. We will encounter strong opponents starting from the group stage, but I want to say that we are not afraid of any opponent!"
"As our head coach said, we feel unfortunate for all the teams that were drawn into the same group as us!"
…
Manchester City is also very ambitious and ambitious.
The outside world also gave high praise to Manchester City's performance in the first official game of the new season.
The score of five to three is the highest score since the Community Shield was restructured in 2003. Even if it goes back to the previous Charity Shield, in the history of nearly a hundred years, this score is still quite high.
The last time eight goals were scored in a single game in the Community Shield was fifty-seven years ago in 1953. Wolves and West Bromwich Albion drew 4-4, with the two teams sharing the charity
Shield cup.
Going back further, in 1932, Everton defeated Newcastle 5-3.
Obviously, these are already quite distant history.
Entering the Premier League era, whether it is the Charity Shield or the Community Shield, it is rare to see such a big score, which can be called a feast of goals.
The performance of Manchester City players has been basically recognized. Van Persie directed three goals by himself and basically showed his own strength. Let everyone see that after taking the lead in the front line, he has gained enough trust and trust in the frontcourt.
The strength that explodes after support.
More importantly, this is only his first official game after joining Manchester City.
Sacchi, who is the most popular in the world, officially signed a contract with The Times this summer and became a columnist for this newspaper.
He commented in his column about Manchester City's first official game of the new season, believing that Van Persie would never be a parallel import.
"I went to watch his games at Arsenal. It was obvious that he did not get enough support at Arsenal, especially on the front line. Adebayor is the core of Arsenal's offense."
"But from the Community Shield match, I saw that a very outstanding center is rising in the hands of Gao Shen."
"Before this game, like everyone else, I was skeptical about Gao Shen's remarks about Robin van Persie, thinking that he was overly praising his players. But after watching this game, I began to understand the source of Gao Shen's confidence."
"Van Persie does have the ability to become a top center forward, but he still needs further training."
"Don't forget, everyone's ability to train players is definitely second to none in today's European football."
"Even if we just talk about centers, a little further away, he trained Negredo at Real Madrid, Cavani and Pellet at Naples, and now at Manchester City, Suarez became even more famous last season."
"This gives us reason to believe that Van Persie will also succeed!"
In his column, Sacchi still insisted on his true nature of boasting and praised Gao Shen without hesitation. Even when he was praising Manchester United or Ferguson, he never forgot to bring out Gao Shen.
At this moment, when Gao Shen is facing overwhelming doubts, Sacchi is unique.
…
Gao Shen didn't pay much attention to the hype from the outside media.
He knew very well that this kind of thing was the exclusive treatment for the winner.
The media has no integrity. If you win, they will praise you to the sky. But once you lose, they will immediately change their attitude, faster than Sichuan Opera, and want to step you into hell.
If you play in professional football, you have to get used to them.
The media and professional football are like two sides of an interdependent coin.
On the night they won the Community Shield, Manchester City returned to Manchester from London overnight.
The next morning, the team conducted post-match recovery training as usual, but then the team analyzed and summarized the Community Shield match and discussed various problems that arose during the match.
Overall, Gao Shen affirmed the players' performance. After all, they won the championship and won the game.
In terms of individual players, Gao Shen named and praised three new players, namely Yaya Toure, Leighton Baines and Robin van Persie.
In the Community Shield, except for De Bruyne, all the other new players basically appeared. However, Jerome Boateng made several big mistakes in the game. Although he also deserved credit, overall his performance was still insufficient.
Gao Shen did not criticize him by name, but he had told him in private that he hoped he would continue to work hard.
Yaya Toure's performance was really good. He played as a defensive midfielder in the first half of the game and performed very well. He also made several long passes to instigate the attack and was very impressive.
Sometimes, Gao Shen even thinks that if he can focus on playing as a defensive midfielder, it will basically be perfect.
But unfortunately, this guy is not content with the status quo.
Later, Gao Shen changed to a midfield diamond position of 442, with Yaya Toure and Rakitic in the middle. As a result, Yaya Toure really played very bravely, passing the ball several times, especially to the ball at the end.
Giroud's two attacks were really beautiful.
Not in the deep position, he also let go of his hands and feet, and was very threatening when he advanced with the ball several times.
Gao Shen also felt a headache about this.
Let him play as a single defensive midfielder. It's a pity for his offensive talent. Let him play as a midfielder. In Gao Shen's tactical system, he is a bit unmatched. Gao Shen tried the four-two-three-one double midfielder, and still
He performed well in any midfield diamond position.
This can also become a big surprise for Manchester City's tactical adjustments.
After all, whether in the Premier League or the Champions League, Manchester City cannot conquer the world with just one set of four, three, and three packages.
Today's European football is not that easy to deal with.
Leighton Baines performed really well on the left. Facing Manchester United's main attackers Valencia and Rooney, he defended well. Although he made mistakes, it was understandable.
Valencia was trained by Gao Shen. Gao Shen knows how fast he is and how good his body is.
It is really not easy for Lydon Bynes to achieve this level.
More importantly, he has not yet used his offensive advantage in this game.
As for Van Persie, do I need to say more?
When Gao Shendu was being interviewed, he almost praised him as a flower.
After winning the game and winning the championship, everyone is looking forward to the new season.
But after Gao Shen affirmed the team, he poured some cold water on it, saying that Tottenham will be very strong in the new season.
Especially after Van der Vaart and Dzeko joined, Tottenham's overall strength has improved dramatically compared to last season.
"We must be fully prepared!"
More importantly, the first game of the new season is very difficult to play, especially away from home.
"But I believe you will be able to overcome it and we will take away a victory from White Hart Lane!"
Gao Shen said with confidence.
For the new season, Gao Shen can be said to be very ambitious.
He has repeatedly warned his players to take every game seriously. Manchester City only needs players who work hard and like-minded players with him.
"I reiterate once again, in the new season, our goal is to win the championship, all championships, especially the Premier League and the Champions League!"
"My request is very simple. I want you to show your best performance and state from the first round, because what awaits us will be a very difficult schedule!"
Many of the players in the Manchester City team have experience in European competitions, and some have even won championships, so they all know that with Manchester City's current situation, it will definitely be a group of death in the Champions League group stage.
And everyone knows how difficult it is to play in the group of death.
Naples, who were better than two years ago, also suffered a bloody blow in the group of death?
"Don't worry, no matter how difficult our schedule is, no matter how strong the opponents we encounter, I will definitely lead you out of the siege. And all you need to do is to go on the court in every game.
Give me your best effort and show your best!"
The profound request was also responded to by the players.
As for the death group, it is still unclear who will be drawn.
But Gao Shen was thinking, he wouldn't be so unlucky to be drawn against Real Madrid again, right?
