Chapter 1118

After a month of summer training, the community shield cup, the appetizer of the Premier League's new season, has finally reignited.

The community shield cup, formerly known as the Charity shield cup, is an annual tournament hosted by the Football Association of England, in which the top league champions play the leaders of the FA Cup. With Manchester United winning the treble, the League runner up, Chelsea, and the FA Cup winner, Manchester United, are competing for the community shield this season.

There is no doubt that Manchester United are the big winners of the community shield cup, which they have won 19 times. Especially after the 2002 Charity shield cup was renamed community shield cup, Manchester United made eight finals and won five titles in nine years.

Once upon a time, community shield and its predecessor Charity shield were regarded as omens for a long time. From 1997 to 2004, for eight years in a row, there was an iron rule that those who took the community shield would lose the Premier League. On the contrary, the runner up repeatedly won the league. Manchester United won the Premier League three times in a row at the turn of the century, accompanied by the Community Shield "three times in a row".

After coming to the Premier League in 2005, he led Chelsea to beat Arsenal 2-1 in the community shield cup, and finally beat Manchester United by 8 points to defend the Premier League title.

Then the Premier League evolved into a limit game in which we had to try our best to score points at the beginning. They pay more attention to the community shield cup as soon as possible, hoping to play their morale and make a good start for the new season.

Manchester United and Chelsea are the most successful teams in the Premier League in recent years. At least one team of the two teams participated in the eight previous community shields. Manchester United have been in the community shield for four years in a row. They have played against Chelsea twice, and the winners eventually win the Premier League. In this community shield cup, both Manchester United and Chelsea are working hard, vowing to take the flag of their arch rivals.

Although the summer transfer of this season is not over yet, there are newcomers from the two giants, such as Manchester United's de GEA, Jones, Chelsea's Lukaku and Benayoun, and of course, new Chelsea coach boas. Their performance has also become the focus of fans and opponents.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Manchester United bus slowly drove into the parking lot. Some of the Manchester United players were wearing earphones, some were wearing sunglasses, and others were talking and laughing with each other. In addition to the newcomers de GEA and Jones, most of them walked into the dressing room with a relaxed look.

Ferguson and the coaches went to the coach's lounge, where the players were in charge.

With the retirement of Scholes and Edwin van der Sar and the transfer of old people such as O'Shea, brown and Hargreaves, the division of Manchester United's gangs has not been weakened, but has become more distinct.

Local gangs headed by Fletcher, Ferdinand and Rooney sit in the middle. Gao Xiaodong and his Asian African and Latin American brothers sit on the left. European gangs such as Vidic and Berbatov sit on the right.

Nani fever did not come to Wembley, the only alternative may be bogba, he sat beside Gao Xiaodong.

The players of continental Europe are obviously not interested in bogba either. They look at bogba like traitors.

Bogba did not feel uncomfortable at all. With Gao Xiaodong as his support, he was not afraid of the players from the European mainland to give him shoes.

Gao Xiaodong into the dressing room, want to find some captain's feeling, said: "fast game, put some music to stimulate."

Gao Xiaodong's younger brothers naturally responded one after another, and Rooney also responded. However, Vidic of the mainland Gang said, "what music do you play? I'll go out and warm up immediately."

Vidic and Gao Xiaodong failed to compete for the position of captain. He was unconvinced in his heart, so he gave Gao Xiaodong a sentence.

Gao Xiaodong did not speak, Ferdinand also said: "don't listen, or think about how the game."

Gao Xiaodong bared his teeth, two old guys, this is a feud with himself, Gao Xiaodong do not want to be the first official competition with them, but also do not want to be in front of his younger brother to lose face, then said: "do you like to listen, I let myself listen."

"We all love to hear it," bogba said

Anderson also yelled: "let's play it. It's boring without music."

……

Just as he was talking, Ferguson and two assistants came in, and a group of players who were preparing to bicker quickly closed their mouths.

Ferguson has rich experience. He glanced at the dressing room and quickly guessed what happened. There were too many things like this. Ferguson pretended that nothing happened and said: "last season, Chelsea lost to us in the league. This game must be like a revenge fight. The game is about to start. Don't be careless, just like the FA Cup We'll play in the finals. Let's go out for activities. I'll talk about our tactics today later. "

After the players went out, Ferguson sat down in Gao Xiaodong's seat and looked at the starting list of Chelsea for a long time. He said to mulenstine and Phelan, "what do you think of the starting list of Chelsea?"

"Boas is known as little Jose, but his game style is different from that of Jose. He likes to attack, but in a short period of time, I don't think he can change the football style of Chelsea dramatically. In this game, although they are discharging a 433 formation, I think they are still defending the counter attack."

"There's no Drogba, no Anelka in the starting line-up, there's Malouda and Kalou in the starting line-up. It's a bit interesting," Phelan said"It's said that boas is in conflict with Drogba and Anelka. It doesn't seem to be groundless," murenstein said

Ferguson said with a smile: "the 33 year old likes to play fast. Drogba, Anelka and others certainly can't keep up with his pace. Besides, he is so young that when he comes to a big club like Chelsea, even if he has the support of Abramovich, he has to take the veteran Liwei. Drogba and Anelka have a lot of influence in the team. Their prestige and status are not as good as Terry and Lampard. It's Bo The target of as's attack. "

"Do you think boas will be as successful as Jose

Ferguson said faintly: "God knows, but I'm more interested in boas than in the community shield cup."

Just out of the mixed channel, Gao Xiaodong met Inter's assistant coach boas.

When he was at Inter, boas was kind to Gao Xiaodong, and he had a good relationship with him. Later, they left Jose and never met again.

"Coach boas." Gao Xiaodong showed a look of surprise. In fact, he knew that he would meet boas sooner or later, and he had already been psychologically prepared.

"Ha ha, Xiao Dong, we meet again."

Boas smiles and holds Gao Xiaodong's hand, and claps Gao Xiaodong's arm very closely.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to be the manager of Chelsea, but congratulations." Gao Xiaodong sincerely congratulated.

Boas said with a smile: "I don't know what's going on. By the way, chairman da Costa of Porto misses you very much and often talks about you with me."

Gao Xiaodong said with shame: "after coming to the Premier League, the match is too tight and he has not been able to go back to see chairman Costa. Is he OK now?"

Boas said: "I'm in good health. I can do it for at least another ten years."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "the Porto fans will be happy."

After a few pleasantries, boas said with a smile, "go warm up. The game is about to start. Let's talk about it after the game."

"OK, I'll treat you." Gao Xiaodong waved with Boas and turned to walk to the court.
