Chapter 836

"The Community Shield, like last year, is also a strong dialogue this year. Last season's Premier League champion Blue Moon played against the redesigned Blues Chelsea." Although this is only a Community Shield, it is the first time that the National Sports Channel broadcasts a Premier League game.

"This summer, Manchester City hasn't changed much. Although Balotelli left Manchester City, with the joining of Van Persie, Manchester City's strength has been faintly enhanced. At the same time, Rodwell, Shaqiri and Sun Xingmin are young players who are also worth looking forward to." Duan Xuan's familiar voice spread to the ears of Chinese fans for the first time.

"On the contrary, Chelsea's changes have been very big. Up to the head coach has become the Italian marshal Mancini, down to leaving with many meritorious deeds. The monster Drogba came to Shanghai, Kalou went to Lille, Povassin went to the other side of London, and Essien went to Spain."

"However, the replacement of the old and the new is inevitable in the football world. This summer, the owner of Chelsea spent [-] million transfer funds. The arrival of Arza, Oscar, Azpilicueta, Moses and others is bound to cause huge changes for Chelsea. Judging from the previous friendly matches, this change does not seem to be very good."

In the past, Chelsea was full of muscles, and the first impression was tough, but now, Mata, Torres, Arza, and Oscar are all technical players.

Before the Community Shield, Manchester City's two friendly matches were questioned by many media, but Chelsea was worse than Manchester City, because they had lost three consecutive friendly matches.

"Players from both sides are on the stage, let's see the main lineups of both sides."

Manchester City lineup: 433
Goalkeeper: Pantilimon

Defenders: Kolarov, Kompany, Boateng, Zabaleta
Midfielders: De Jong, Yaya Toure, Li Feng

Forwards: Silva, Van Persie, Aguero
Joe Hart suddenly felt unwell before the game. For safety reasons, Van Basten let Joe Hart stay in Manchester and brought in the young No. [-] goalkeeper Johnson.

The four new players, including Van Persie, got the starting lineup, and the other three sat on the bench. Together with Lescott, Dzeko and Minaar, they formed Manchester City's bench for this game.

Chelsea squad: 433
Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Defenders: Ashley Cole, Terry, Luiz, Ivanovic
Midfield: Lampard, Mikel, Ramires,
Forwards: Mata, Torres, Hazard

It is said to be 433. In fact, Chelsea's formation is more like 451. Torres has a single arrow, Mata and Hazard occupy both sides, and there are three players in the middle. After all, Li Feng's impact is not a cover.

In terms of player configuration, Chelsea is actually the same as Manchester City. Chelsea's main lineup is also dominated by old players. Only Arza got the chance to start, and the others sat on the bench.

Manchester City's consistent style is to attack. In terms of side selection and offense, Captain Kompany chose to attack without hesitation.

Therefore, when the referee Kevin Frank blew the game whistle, Van Persie touched the ball, and Aguero passed back to Li Feng. For a while, there was a huge cheer in the stadium of Villa Park.

And amidst the cheers, boos were naturally indispensable. The ones cheering were Manchester City. After two months, Manchester City fans naturally wanted to vent their inner excitement when they saw this familiar scene again. As opponents, it is impossible for Chelsea fans to look at their opponents indifferently.

But these cheers and boos didn't affect the guy on the field at all. Since the two teams are blue, the Manchester City players passed the away jersey today.

This season's away jersey is completely different from last season. Last season, Manchester City's away jersey was red and black stripes. People who don't know Manchester City will definitely mistake it for AC Milan.

And this season, Manchester City's away jersey has become wine red. I have to say that Li Feng has been unable to complain about this jersey, because Li Feng's aesthetics are simply ugly.

As for the home jersey, there is no change, but this is normal. The home jersey generally does not undergo any major changes. After all, the home jersey is very representative.

Li Feng crossed the center line with the ball, and Lampard and Ramirez were staring at him. As opponents, they really knew Li Feng's ability. As long as they had a chance, they might be caught by this guy.

But this time, Li Feng was obviously not going to force himself. He chose to pass the ball. Kolarov and the Manchester City left back made a high-speed drive.

Ivanovic, slow turning has always been a big problem for Ivanovic. Usually, he has been able to avoid this weakness. However, he obviously did not expect that the first wave of Manchester City's attack would start from his side, and even the opponent was so fast.

Behind Ivanovic, Kolarov was at full speed, but Ivanovic did not give up. If it was Clichy at this time, he might have thrown off Ivanovic, but Kolarov was the starter in this game.

Manchester City's full-backs just barely made a pass. Although Van Persie struggled to grab the position, under Terry's defense, Van Persie did not have the advantage. In addition, Kolarov's pass level was really limited, which was easily confiscated by Cech who rushed out.

However, Manchester City's offense is not over. Even for Manchester City, the next wave is the real opportunity, because Manchester City won a direct free kick in a pretty good position.

As soon as Petr Cech kicked open, Mikel rushed forward and the ball flew into Manchester City's half, but no one responded. Mata and Hazard are not tall enough, and their header ability is really not flattering. As for Torres, although he is still tall, he has never been good at headers.

In the previous Chelsea, such passes were usually won because they had a fulcrum in the frontcourt, but unfortunately, this fulcrum left Asia this summer.

Ground fit?Chelsea is still working hard, which is why Chelsea's previous three-game losing streak in friendly matches, the arrival of Mancini, the departure of meritorious service, and the joining of new players, Chelsea almost overturned everything before.

This is a long process, but what Chelsea lacks the most is time. Just look at Mikel's pass and you will know that if it was in the past, such a pass would be no problem at all.

But now, such a pass is destined to become an opportunity for the opponent, Yaya Tourei controlled the ball, and then sent it forward to Li Feng's feet.

But Li Feng didn't look up at all, and passed it directly to Aguero's feet on the right. The latter moved laterally to the center, Ashley Cole quickly followed, and finally brought Aguero down outside the penalty area.
