On the afternoon of August 11, the Charity Shield match was held at Wembley Stadium.

Manchester City's Wen Sheng's mind is still training, but the lack of Kroos, this training is actually a shortcoming, the new season Kroos is a key figure, Wensheng intends to spend about two months on Kroos at ease, so that Kroos can adapt to the Premier League game, the second half of the season to the most critical moment, Kroos played a role, a few technical players in the front of the field grinded into shape, Manchester City should be the time to exert power.

Kroos has only been in the team for two days, and Wen Sheng can only use this game as training.

In the previous warm-up matches, Manchester City won and lost, and in the International Champions Cup, Juventus, Benfica, and Manchester United all made moves, but did not show convincing ability.

In the final analysis, the reason is the adaptation of tactics and the degree of attention, such a game Wensheng can not only look at the state of the main force, he also has to look at the state of the substitute players.

This Charity Shield Cup is essentially the same thing, that is, to see everyone's state, so Wen Sheng also has reservations in arranging troops.

The goalkeeper is Hart, and the backline is dominated by Kyle. Walker, Virgil van Dijk, Albiol and Shears are combined, with Dembele and Casemiro partnered in midfield, Silva in the midfield position, Costa and Nasri on the wings, and Sergio Aguero as the lone striker.

De Bruyne, Dzeko and James Milner were all on the bench, while Kroos was left in the stands.

On the Wigan side, Coyle played the main force with a formation of 433.

The goalkeeper position is Carson, the back line is Boyce, Pecch, Barnett, and Crainey, the midfield is McCarthy, Watson, and Macarthur, and the forward line is Maloney, Holt, and McLean.

Referee Antonio's whistle blew and the game quickly got into the rhythm.

Coyle is actually a flow control manager, and he likes to control the ball, but why isn't being a manager an easy job?! Coach Gaine has to assess the situation, and Coyle's success in Wigan is not to say that he wants to play this game in front of Manchester City is a bit of a big game.

Of course, his idea is also good, the original intention is to follow Wen Sheng's blueprint, strengthen the control in the backfield, and rely on counterattacks to win.

However, Wensheng's intention in the new season is to be more inclined to an aggressive attacking style, so from the beginning of this game, Manchester City actively promoted high-pressing tactics.

Coyle's team insisted on the tactics from the first minute to be wrong, lack of technical ability, the team is not tacit, it is better not to play this trick of backfield control, maybe you can play in the Championship, in the Premier League Coyle's approach makes Wensheng feel that it is strange not to lose a few games at the beginning.

Although Wen Sheng has a hunch that his team will score goals soon, he still keeps directing the positions of the players on the sidelines, especially Casemiro, the young man is still very young, and he got a lot of training at Liverpool last season, but he is still somewhat unfamiliar with Manchester City as a whole, and there will be some problems in the selection of defensive positions.

In fact, it is categorically impossible to play any role on the pitch without using your brain, especially in the midfield position, Casemiro's task today is relatively heavy, Dembele's freedom has risen, and it is inevitable that Casemiro sometimes needs to defend alone, interpret the opponent's offensive direction, and if you can carry out a pre-ambush in advance to stifle the opponent's attack, it will be better.

In the sixth minute, Coyle's team couldn't hold on, they made a mistake in the back pass, and were cut off by Gouyu, just when Gouyu was entangled with Boyce, Shears quickly inserted to receive Gouyu's pass, and then crossed, bypassing central defender Porchi, Aguero made a successful tackle in front of the goal, helping Manchester City take a 1-0 lead.

Wen Sheng applauded Hills hard, Hills is more and more decisive, first of all, he is very decisive, he is not very close to the high position, about near the middle circle, but when the dog is left unintentionally steals the ball at the opponent's feet, his upward decision is very fast, and finally that pass also reflects his very good decision, some people say that it is not good to kill himself with the ball, but he immediately passed the ball with his eyes to the gap in the middle. Love

Secondly, this passing skill is also very good, maybe he has been a team-mate with De Bruyne for a long time, and Hills has also learned a lot from De Bruyne, such as passing skills, the cake he made for Aguero is very good in terms of arc power and precision.

Manchester City scored first, and Coyle's life was even more difficult, and it really confirmed that sentence at this moment, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

It's good to have the determination to win and win the trophy, but without the right strategy and tactics, no matter how good the determination is, it will be in vain.

After conceding a goal, Coyle really learned to be smart, he no longer encouraged his team to play the same game as before, and simply began to set up the bus neatly.

Wen Sheng also seemed very helpless, and he had no choice but to put the bus on the opponent's side, so the team could only attack.

Nasri was a little silent, but Costa on the right was doing well, and the dog was considered the strongest blasting point on the pitch, and he was very capable of fighting alone, and in the 18th minute, he broke down the wing and passed back to the middle, Silva played the ball, and Dembele cut in a long-range shot to penetrate the Wigan goal again.

But after this goal, Gou Yu was injured after a sprint.

Dog leftover's kicking style hurts the body, Peter Pan Robben used to play like this, there were more injuries, and later came to Bayern Munich There were also a lot of injuries, and Dog Leftover also belonged to that kind of kicking, thinking that he would use the change of direction so frequently to use acceleration, the joints and muscles of the body would be greatly tested, and injuries were normal.

Wen Sheng has no intention of changing Costa's style of play, because he is the explosive point that the team needs, and without this characteristic, the dog is not the dog leftover he needs.

Of course, the dog himself also thinks it's cool to kick like this.

Wen Sheng had no choice but to replace the dog with the newly joined Chamberlain, and secretly prayed that the dog was injured.

In the first half, Manchester City was still good in creating chances, Aguero's old mistakes were still repeated, and sometimes he was really anxious to seize the chances, and at the end of the 45 minutes, Wen Sheng could only accept the score of 2:0.

At the beginning of the second half, Wensheng replaced Aguero with Dzeko, and there were five substitutions in the Charity Shield, which was almost a warm-up game, so Wensheng naturally used the substitutions as soon as possible to try to give the substitutes some time.

In the second half, City's attacking tempo slowed down a lot, the opponent swung the bus, the team was ahead again, and the players could not find much way but to use long-range shots and take advantage of Dzeko's high point.

When the 60th minute came, Wensheng replaced Casemiro with Wanyama and Nasri with Aspas, and the team's attacking quality began to fail, always empty momentum, and did not create any chances.

Wigan, for their part, did not create any dangerous chances, and their relegation from the Premier League was not without reason, with poor chance-creating ability and poor defensiveness.

Later, everyone made substitutions on both sides, Coyle obviously did not have the spirit to win the championship, blindly let his team defend to the death, Manchester City's players are still very hard-working, but there are also reservations, it is estimated that the injury of the dog left has given them some shadows, and no one wants to be injured before the official game is played.

In the end, the game ended 2-0, and Manchester City won the first trophy of the new season, the Charity Shield.
