Chapter 772
Manchester City returned to England immediately after the warm-up series of the International Champions Cup.

The new Premier League season is about to begin, and all the teams are gearing up to prepare for the new season.

The transfer period is not over yet, and the news about the transfer is one after another.

But none of this has much to do with Manchester City. After returning to England, the team is about to prepare for an official game!

A preview match before the opening of the new season, the England Community Shield match.

Since Manchester City won the Premier League and the FA Cup last season, the opponent in the 2013 Community Shield is Manchester United, which ranks second in the league.

Manchester City and Manchester United, and perhaps Chelsea, are considered to be the strongest contenders for the Premier League title this season!
Of course, Arsenal also seem to have investment ambitions in this season's transfer window, but it is generally believed that compared with these three teams, Arsenal's championship status is still a little worse.

Wenger's team has not been able to win the league championship for many years, which makes them seem to be excluded from the discussion of the championship in the discussion of the media.

"This Community Shield match may be a very good opportunity for both sides to test each other's strength!" This is what the media said before the match.

The champion of the Community Shield Cup is not a particularly important trophy. It is like the Super Cup before the start of the season in the major leagues. Most of them are just a pre-season cup match.

Therefore, winning or losing is not particularly important to both parties.

Of course, this is also a championship trophy after all, so everyone will definitely take it seriously.

Before the game, Wembley Stadium was also packed.

The Manchester men battle each other at Wembley Stadium.There is a clear distinction between red and blue.

When the players lined up, the cheers rang out!
With more than two months of offseason, the fans can't wait, they are eagerly looking forward to the start of the new season!
"Good audience friends, now that the two teams have lined up to enter the field, the start of this Community Shield match also means that the first round of the new season of the Premier League is about to start!! And the two sides in this game are Manchester City and Manchester United. The Manchester Derby was staged in the Community Shield. The two teams are also considered to be the two teams most likely to win this season!"

In the commentary seat, Letkinson said very excitedly.

The opening of a new season is always exciting.

"It is indeed the case. Manchester United's signings this season can be described as generous, and their signings may not be over yet!" Redknapp added on the side.

Indeed, this season's Manchester United is the Premier League summer transfer window so far the intensity of signings is very strong.

They first introduced Brazilian winger Douglas Costa from Shakhtar Donetsk!This cost Manchester United 800 million pounds. Subsequently, Manchester United also introduced Argentine central defender Otamendi from Porto to replace the aging Ferdinand and Vidic.

And Manchester City's signings have not yet ended. In early August, Manchester City announced that they had bought Tottenham full-back Kyle Walker for 3000 million pounds! !

After eating Kyle Walker, Guardiola's actions are still not over. At the left back position, Evra is also in his 30s, so Guardiola bought Atletico Madrid's full-back Alba-this is the player Gao Bo brought to Atletico Madrid.And eating Alba cost Manchester United 700 million pounds!
After successively introducing Douglas Costa, Kyle Walker, Otamendi and Alba, it is reported that Manchester United also hopes to get a top midfielder in the transfer market.

"Manchester United's transfer is not over yet, and there are still 20 days before the transfer window closes." Letkinson said, "Let's take a look at the starting lists of both sides first!"

"For Manchester United, the goalkeeper De Gea, the center back combination is Otamendi replaced the veteran Ferdinand, and partnered with Hummels, the right back is the newly introduced Kyle Walker, the left back is Evra, and the new aid Alba is sitting on the bench. In the midfield, Carrick, Thiago, Modric started, the three forwards are Pedro on the left, and Brazilian winger Douglas Costa on the right. The striker on the field is Pea Hernandez!"

"For Manchester City, the starting goalkeeper is Oblak, the central defender is Kompany and Umtiti, the right back Trippier, the left back Kolarov, the midfielder is Casemiro and Fernandinho, the frontcourt, the midfielder Griezmann, Sanchez on the left, David Silva on the right, and Hazard!"

"Both teams are doing their best!"

At this time, on the court, the players of both sides had already stood still, waiting until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The camera successively gave close-ups of the coaches of both sides.

"Gao Bo and Guardiola! Their La Liga competition has continued to the Premier League. Can Guardiola gain the upper hand this time? Let's wait and see!"

In front of the camera, Guardiola looked serious, with his hands in his trouser pockets, standing on the edge of the court.

Compared with Guardiola, Gao Bo seemed much more relaxed.

He was sitting on the coach's bench, whispering something to the assistant next to him from time to time, and his expression looked relaxed.

This game may be of great significance to Guardiola-up to now, he has never won Gao Bo once, so every time Guardiola meets Gao Bo, he will always hold back his energy.

This is not the case with Gao Bo.

The Community Shield game is not an important championship for him. Therefore, Gao Bo did not put pressure on the players before the game, and he even encouraged the players to attack in this game.

Manchester United is his main competitor, so he wants to see if there will be any changes in the opponent this season, whether Guardiola's new staffing can play some unexpected chemical effects and so on.

On the Manchester United side, they also played unconservatively.

So from the very beginning of the game, they entered a state of fierce confrontation!
In the second minute of the game, Manchester City took the lead!
Griezmann pushed directly to the ribs after receiving a pass from David Silva in the middle!

Sanchez followed up with an angry shot with his right foot!

The football went slightly off the crossbar!
Just 1 minute later, Manchester United retaliated!

Douglas Costa hit the wall with Modric on the wing and then broke into the penalty area and crossed the middle!
Little Pea Hernandez succeeded in grabbing the point, and the football was saved by Oblak! !

From the first minute of the game, the rhythm began to accelerate!
In the 6th minute, Carrick tripped Griezmann and Manchester City won a free kick!
Griezmann's free kick hit the goal with his left foot and was rubbed against the wall, slightly higher than the crossbar and out of the baseline! !

After Manchester City's corner kick was taken, Otamendi cleared the ball in the middle!
After Thiago took the ball, he passed it to Modric!

Modric turned around and sent a long pass!
Pedro chest stops the ball and cuts in!
Right foot shot! !
"Pedro!!!!"

While the commentator exclaimed, Pedro's shot hit the post! !
Battle! !

From the beginning of the game, the two sides have been unequivocal and directly launched a confrontation!
