The strongest waist king of the Red Devils

Chapter 188 Community Shield Cup
Manchester United's first official game of the new season is the Community Shield against Chelsea.

At this time, Sun Qi had already returned to the team and sat on the bench.

During training, Sun Qi was in very good condition, and his physical strength was not a problem. The head coach Ferguson was very pleased, so he let Sun Qi join the squad, hoping that the team could win the first championship of the new season more safely and get off to a good start.

Because Manchester United won the Premier League and the FA Cup last season, in this Community Shield game, Manchester United played against last season's league runner-up, Chelsea.

In this campaign, both sides sent most of the main players to play.

Manchester United still adopts a 4-3-3 formation.

The goalkeeper is Edwin van der Sar.

At the back line, Vidic and Rio Ferdinand continue to partner at the center back, while Wes Brown and Evra are separated on both sides.

The trio in midfield are Carrick, O'Shea and new aid David Silva.

On the front line, Giggs and Ronaldo waited for opportunities on the two wings, while Rooney was at the forefront.

Sun Qi, Nani, Darren Fletcher, and Olic and other teammates sat on the bench.

In this summer window, there is still a lot of movement in the Manchester United team.

Alan Smith, who was in decline after his injury, eventually left Manchester United and moved to Newcastle United.

Sylvester was appreciated by Wenger and went to Arsenal.

Kieran Richardson, transferred to Sunderland.

Heinze, on the other hand, has just finalized his transfer to Real Madrid.

There are also many young players from the youth training and reserve teams who have left the team.

The departure of these people did not have much impact on the strength of Manchester United's lineup.

In terms of the introduction of players, Manchester United introduced Anderson, Nani, David Silva, and then dug Olic from Croatia.

In addition, Manchester United promoted Pique, Evans, Kieran Lee and other players from the reserve team.

With a series of operations, the Manchester United team has quietly completed the upgrade of the lineup, and still has the strong strength to compete for various championships in the new season.

Dong Fangxuan, on the other hand, is currently working on the possibility of being loaned to West Ham, and the progress is not bad.

Dong Fangxuan has gained a lot of confidence through various goals in the Toulon Cup and the Asian Cup. This makes him not satisfied with being the fourth or fifth striker for Manchester United, wasting his time, and wants to get more opportunities to play in the Premier League.

West Ham United is a good choice.

After Carlos Tevez moved to Manchester City, West Ham's striker lacked a strong center.

Dong Fangxuan's performance in the Asian Cup has made West Ham United very optimistic, and they are going to try a short-term loan first.

Because the loan matter is going on intensely, Dong Fang was not able to be selected for this competition.

Manchester United has no shortage of strikers.

The main striker is naturally Rooney.

Saha and Olic are also very capable and distinctive strikers, enough to complement Manchester United's important task of attacking the city.

At the same time, Ronaldo, as the double golden boot of the Premier League and the Champions League last season, is full of power and can reach the forefront at any time.

Coupled with Ryan Giggs, Sun Qi and other players who can score at any time, Manchester United will not lack firepower in the new season.

Moreover, Fraser Campbell and others from the youth training camp also have the strength of a substitute.

More importantly, Dong Fangxuan's strength is still relatively limited. Now, with Sun Qi in China, the huge influence and market appeal in Asia, Dong Fangxuan in the Manchester United team is not as important as before.

Rather than staying in the reserve team and wasting time, it is better to go out on loan and play up his worth. For Dong Fangxuan, it is a better choice.

On the other side, Chelsea, formed a 4-3-2-1 formation.

Cech is still the goalkeeper.

On the back line, captain Terry was absent due to injury, Carvalho and new aid Ben Haim started, and the partner central defenders, Glenn Johnson and Ashley Cole, served as both side backs.

The trio in midfield are Lampard, Mikel and Essien.

The two wingers are Wright Phillips Jr. and Joe Cole.

New aid Malouda served as the striker arrow.

For the Chelsea team, Xia Chuang also introduced many players, but most of them were exempted from visas.

The increasingly intensified conflict between coach Mourinho and club owner Abramovich has created a lot of trouble for Chelsea's prospects for the new season.

Mourinho has also become No.1 in the odds list. It depends on how long Mourinho can last and how much patience Abramovich has.

This Community Shield game is the 85th, and the game will be played at Wembley Stadium.

At the beginning of the game, the pace of both sides was not fast.

In the 3rd minute, David Silva nimbly got rid of Mikel, and then went straight to Rooney. Rooney entered the penalty area and shot with his foot, but was saved by Petr Cech.

In the 12th minute, Wright Phillips Jr. passed the ball and Joe Cole broke into the penalty area, but O'Shea blocked the ball in advance.

In the 18th minute, Vidic stole the ball and made a long pass to Ronaldo on the right.

Ronaldo dribbled and broke through at high speed all the way, entered the penalty area, and then passed back to David Silva who responded in the middle.

David Silva crosses the unguarded Giggs on the right.

Giggs shot angrily at the ball, but unfortunately hit the post and popped out of the baseline.

In the 26th minute, Giggs made a breakthrough from the left and made a pass from the bottom. Rooney scored a header in the penalty area and was blocked by Cech. David Silva shot again and was blocked by Ben Haim. Clear out.

In the 31st minute, Malouda made a free kick from the right, and Essien headed the ball, but Mikel was a step too slow and missed this close shot opportunity.

In the 33rd minute, David Silva went straight and Rooney shot from the penalty area, but he still failed to break Cech's ten fingers.

In the 38th minute, Ben Haim tripped Rooney in front of the penalty area and got a yellow card.

The chance of a free kick, Ronaldo's shot hit the wall and popped out.

In the 42nd minute, Ronaldo switched positions to the left and cooperated with Evra hitting the wall, avoiding Wright Phillips Jr. and Glenn Johnson. Evra continued to hit the bottom and made a cross.

In Chelsea's penalty area, both Mick and Carvalho had no choice but to miss the ball, and the ball flew to Giggs' feet at the back point.

The unguarded Giggs volleyed directly and broke through the goal guarded by Petr Cech.

1: 0!

Manchester United, with Ryan Giggs's goal, one goal ahead of Chelsea.

Unfortunately, the good times are not long.

In the 45th minute, Ashley Cole made a cross from the left and then made a pass from the bottom.

Malouda stopped the ball firmly and turned away from Rio Ferdinand, catapulting with the outside instep.

After the ball bounced on the grass, it just passed Van der Sar who was attacking and blocked, and flew into the Manchester United goal.

1: 1!

Chelsea, quick to fight back, equalized before half-time.
