Chapter 1062 The Gap
What makes Chelsea players more desperate than falling behind by two goals is the way these two conceded goals.

The first goal was Ibrahimovic passing the football to Rongguang, and the second goal was Rongguang passing the football to Ibrahimovic.

This fully shows that the two of them have been linked together.

That's the scariest thing.

Many of the reporters in the media seats fell silent.

What they all wanted to see before the game was that Ibrahimovic and Rong Guang did not pass the ball to each other, did not cooperate, and completely fought on their own.

In that case, no matter how powerful Rong Guang and Ibrahimovic are, it's useless.

But now, Rong Guang and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have let go of their suspicions. The two pass the ball to each other and connect!
These two goals undoubtedly gave those reporters who insisted that the bad relationship between Rong Guang and Ibrahimovic would affect Manchester City's performance...

And among these two goals, Ibrahimovic assisted Rongguang first, and Rongguang assisted Ibrahimovic with the second goal!

These reporters who claim to know Zlatan Ibrahimovic very well can't figure out why the always proud Swede would take the initiative to assist Rongguang?
Didn't he always claim to defeat Rong Guang?Being willing to transfer to Manchester City where Rongguang is located and being teammates with Rongguang is enough to surprise them, and now they are willing to be green leaves to set off the red flowers of Rongguang...

Why exactly?
※※※

The reporters in the media seats were full of question marks.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the court is enjoying the game.

This is the first time he has played against Rong Guang.

Only then did he discover why so many players are willing to come to Manchester City... Of course, some of them came for Manchester City's money, but some of them really didn't come for money.

Playing in the same team with Rongguang is really a very comfortable thing.

Because they are both high-level players, their thought circuits are all in the same realm. He knows what the opponent wants to do, and he also knows what he wants to do.

In this way, there will be a sense of fluency when combined.

This feeling is very comfortable.

For example, for the first ball, after he got the ball with his back, it would be very difficult and tiring if he wanted to hit it forcefully, but now he only needs to flick the football to the side, and he knows that someone will definitely come up to respond.Sure enough, Rong Guang appeared there, and everything that happened next came naturally.

If the teammates are not strong and don't think so much, the ball passed by themselves is just a white pass, because no one can receive it.

Another example is the ball just now.When Rongguang made a series of breakthroughs on the wing, most people's eyes would stay on Rongguang, watching him perform alone, whether it was fans or Manchester City players.

But Ibrahimovic decisively chose to go forward into the penalty area and ran to the goal.His off-the-ball running position has also been rewarded. When he ran to that place, Rongguang's ball had already passed, and he could even calmly stop the ball and take a shot when there was no one marking him.

Although Ibrahimovic has always regarded defeating Rongguang as his goal, he also has to admit in his heart that being a teammate with Rongguang is a very cool thing...

※※※

When Manchester City took a two-goal lead in the opening [-] minutes, and Rongguang connected with Ibrahimovic, this Community Shield game was actually over in a sense.

In the next game, Manchester City, which established the victory, played very easily and the pace was not fast.No more emphasis on goals.

They turned their feet more upside down and played possession tactics.

And Chelsea's morale is not high.

Think about it too, when they face Rong Guang and Ibrahimovic, they can’t help but think in their minds—whether Rong (Ibrahimovic) will pass the ball to Ibrahimovic (Rong Guang) this time.

When they start thinking this way, it becomes very difficult to defend Rongguang or Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Because these two people are opponents who can be caught by them to break through if you lose your mind a little bit in defense...

In the next game, Manchester City firmly controlled the situation.

Benitez started to make substitutions.

Although the Community Shield Cup is a "Super Cup" type of competition, this competition has as many as six substitutions.

This makes this game look more like a warm-up match.

In the past, the honor of the Community Shield Cup was not valued too much, but now, it has become a game that many coaches use to pile up honors.Therefore, the competition for the Community Shield is becoming more and more fierce.

Especially Manchester City.As a newly emerging team, Manchester City attaches great importance to the Community Shield Cup.

After all, it's a championship honor.

Manchester City needs a champion right now.

※※※

Benitez began to make substitutions when he thought he had won, and he seized everything to run the lineup.

Sneijder and David Silva were replaced successively.

Now in the frontcourt, Manchester City's offensive lineup is basically the strongest.

After Sneijder came on the field, Manchester City's offense no longer relied solely on the cooperation of Rong Guang and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Sneijder took over the task of organizing the offense.However, this made Manchester City's offense more difficult to defend.

In the minute, Manchester City scored another goal.It was not Glory or Ibrahimovic who scored this time, but David Silva.

3:0, Manchester City completely sealed the victory with four and 10 minutes left in the game.

Then Benitez began to give more players opportunities to play, making this game look more like a warm-up match...

After Ancelotti found that there was no hope of winning, he also began to give many players who joined the team this season a chance to play.

The two sides teamed up to completely turn this game into a warm-up match and a friendly match.

Ibrahimovic was replaced at No. 706 minutes, while Rong Guang was replaced at 83 minutes.

In such a game, when the win is certain, there is really no need for the two main players to waste energy, and staying on the court will increase the risk of injury.

※※※

In the end, Manchester City defeated Chelsea with a score of 3:0 at the new Wembley Stadium and won their first championship honor of the new season. At the same time, they also defended the Community Shield.

A good start to the new season.

However, after the game, what everyone cares most about is not that Manchester City defended the Community Shield champion, but what Manchester City showed in this game.

In addition to still strong individuals, Manchester City's overall strength has reached another level.

In addition, the combination of Rongguang and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is also what everyone is most concerned about.

At the press conference after the game, Benitez answered questions from reporters.

"We had it in training. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was passing the ball proudly in the box... He did it very well, as you saw in this game. I know there are a lot of rumors about them, but I would say that's just rumors, they get along very well, very well..."

Such an answer can indeed make many people believe it is true, thinking that the two people really have a good relationship.

But none of the reporters present was a fuel-efficient lamp, so naturally they would not easily believe the answer given by Benitez.

They didn't believe that Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Rong Guang would just smile away their grievances so easily.Just say that Ibrahimovic is not such a person.

But what if they don't believe it?

So far, neither Rongguang nor Ibrahimovic has explained this change, and it seems that they do not intend to explain it.To dig out the truth behind the story, one must persevere and tirelessly explore. Perhaps at some point in the future, they will accidentally uncover a corner of the truth of all the stories...

It's just that I don't know what their expressions will be if they really know the truth...

※※※

Ancelotti admitted the team's defeat after the game, but he was very helpless about the defeat: "When Rong and Ibrahimovic pass each other, what else can I say?"

After working hard to the end last season, Chelsea still failed to win the league title, and only won one FA Cup in the end.But for Abramovich, this is absolutely not enough for him.

Didn't he invite Ancelotti because of Ancelotti's ability to lead the team to championships, especially the Champions League?

After accepting AC Milan, he won two Champions League titles. There are not many coaches who can win two Champions League titles among the active coaches in European football.

As a result, Chelsea performed mediocre in the Champions League last season and failed to win Manchester City in the league.

Even a game like the Community Shield can't be won now.

And in the process of losing to Manchester City, Chelsea's performance was not good. Chelsea basically had no power to fight back in front of Manchester City.

Abramovich believes that with Chelsea's strength, it shouldn't perform so badly.

In terms of the number of stars and fame, Chelsea may be better than Manchester City.

Although Manchester City has been in the limelight in the past two years, after all, the time to rise is too short, and Chelsea has accumulated.

He was very dissatisfied with Ancelotti's performance in the Community Shield, thinking that when the team fell behind by three goals, Ancelotti gave up the game too early.

He wanted Chelsea to fight to the last man, but Ancelotti didn't show it.At this time, he suddenly missed Mourinho who was driven away by him...

At least Mourinho's team is still bloody.

And now Mourinho has won the Triple Crown at Inter Milan, with added honors, and has gone to Real Madrid to reach the pinnacle of his coaching career.

Although the new season has just started, Abramovich has already started to miss Mourinho and consider changing coaches...
