After a series of warm-up matches for the International Champions Cup, Manchester City returned to England immediately.

The new Premier League season is just around the corner, and teams are gearing up for the new season.

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

However, none of this has much to do with Manchester City, and after returning to England, the team is about to have an official match!

A pre-rehearsal match before the start of the new season, the England Community Shield.

With Manchester City winning the Premier League and FA Cup last season, the 2013 Community Shield will be played against second-placed Manchester United.

Manchester City and Manchester United, and perhaps Chelsea, are considered the top contenders for the Premier League title this season!

Of course, Arsenal seem to have ambitions in this season's transfer window, but it is widely believed that Arsenal's title title is still a bit worse than these three teams.

Arsene Wenger's side have not been able to win the league title for many years, which has left them seemingly out of the media discussion.

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

The winner of the Community Shield is not a particularly important trophy, it is like the Super Cup before the start of the season in the major leagues, most of which are just a pre-season pre-season cup competition.

Therefore, winning or losing is not particularly important for 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 Manchesters are battling it out at Wembley Stadium. The red and blue sides are clearly divided.

As the players lined up, cheers rang out!

With more than two months of off-season, fans can't wait, and they are eagerly looking forward to the start of the new season!

"Good audience friends, now that the two teams have lined up, the start of this Community Shield match also means that the first round of the new Premier League season is about to start!! The match was between Manchester City and Manchester United, and the Manchester derby in the Community Shield was also considered the two most likely to win the title this season! ”

On the commentary seat, Lightkinson said very excitedly.

The opening of a new season is always exciting.

"It's true, Manchester United's signings this season can be described as big, and I'm afraid their signings are not over yet!" Redknapp added.

Indeed, this season's Manchester United have been very strong in the Premier League's summer transfer window.

They first brought in Brazilian winger Douglas Costa from Shakhtar Donetsk! It cost United £18 million, and the Reds then brought in Argentine centre-back Otamendi from Porto to replace the ageing Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.

In early August, Manchester City announced that they had bought Tottenham full-back Kyle Walker for £30 million!!

After eating Kyle Walker, Guardiola's action is still not over, and Evra is also in his thirties at the left wing-back, so Guardiola bought Atletico Madrid's full-back Alba - this is still the player that Gao Bo brought to Atletico Madrid. And eating Alba cost Manchester United 17 million pounds!

After successive acquisitions of Douglas Costa, Kyle Walker, Otamendi and Jordi Alba, it has been revealed that United are also hoping to acquire a top midfielder in the transfer market.

'Manchester United's transfer is not over yet, and now there are 20 days left before the transfer window closes. "Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides! ”

On the Manchester United side, goalkeeper De Gea, the center-back combination is Otamendi who replaced the veteran Ferdinand, and Hummels played alongside Hummels, the right wing-back is the newly introduced Kyle Walker, the left wing-back is Evra, and the new signing Alba is sitting on the bench, in the midfield, Carrick, Thiago, Modric starts, the three forwards are Pedro on the left, and Brazilian winger Douglas Costa on the right, due to Rooney broke his shoulder in a warm-up game, The striker who started this game was Little Pea Hernandez! ”

"On the Manchester City side, the starting goalkeeper is Oblak, the centre-back combination is Kompany and Umtiti, right wing-back Kieran Trippier, left wing-back Kolarov, Casemiro and Fernantinho in the back, the front, Griezmann in front, Sanchez on the left, David Silva on the right, and Hazard in the striker!"

"Both teams are the main players!"

At this time, on the field, the players of both sides have already stood still, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for the end of the game.

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

"Gao Bo and Pep Guardiola! Their La Liga rivalry has continued into the Premier League, can Pep Guardiola gain the upper hand this time? We'll see! ”

In front of the camera, Guardiola has a serious face, he puts his hands in his trouser pockets and stands on the edge of the pitch.

Compared with Guardiola, Gao Bo is much more relaxed.

He sat in the coach's seat, 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 - until now, he has not won against Gao Bo once, so every time Guardiola touches Gao Bo, he will always hold his breath.

This is not the case with Gao Bo.

The Community Shield was not too important for him, so he did not put pressure on his players before the game, and even encouraged the players to attack in this game.

Manchester United are his main rivals, so he wants to see if there will be any changes to them this season, whether Pep Guardiola's new personnel mix can have some unexpected chemistry, etc.

On the Manchester United side, they are also not playing conservatively.

So from the beginning of the game, it entered a fierce attack state!

In the second minute of the game, Manchester City took the lead!

Griezmann received a pass from David Silva in the middle and drove it straight to the ribs!

Sanchez follows up with a right-footed shot!

The ball is slightly off the crossbar!

Just a minute later, Manchester United were back in color!

Douglas Costa and Modric collided with the wall on the wing, then burst into the penalty area and crossed to the middle!

Little Pea Hernandez grabbed the point successfully, and the football was saved by Oblak on the bottom line!!

The pace starts from the first minute!

In the sixth minute, Carrick tripped Antoine Griezmann and City won a free-kick!

Griezmann's free-kick hit the goal with a heavy left-footed shot directly against the wall, slightly higher than the crossbar and out of the bottom line!!

And after Manchester City's corner kick, Otamendi in the middle cleared the ball headonly!

Thiago gets the ball and sends it to Modric!

Modric turns around and sends a long pass!

Pedro chests the ball and cuts inside!

Right foot shot!!

"Pedro!!!

In the midst of the commentator's exclamation, Pedro's shot hit the post!!

Attack battle!!

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