Ferguson did indeed call his players dogs at half-time.

Because it's true that the team has a problem defensively, otherwise how could it have allowed Glory to score?

If there is a person who can follow Rongguang all the time, jump close to him, and get stuck in the inner line, Rongguang's ball will not be so lightly pushed in.

Every Manchester United player was scolded by Alex Ferguson to the point that he couldn't hold his head up.

On the other side, Benitez was not happy that his team was leading in the first half, in fact, he was finding fault with his players, telling each and every one of them what was wrong with their table in the first half.

“…… Robinho, you have too much in the first half, don't always keep your head down, pass the ball, pass more, when you pass the ball you make it harder for the opponent to defend......"

"Elano, you had a little too many passes in the first half, if you only pass back, I'll replace you......"

"Dimitar Berbatov, you ran too little in the first half......"

……

It's really that every player has been criticized by Benitez, even Rongguang, who criticized Rongguang for getting into the groove too slowly after the start of the first half, and didn't even have a shot on goal before the long-range shot that caused the corner, which may be normal for other players, but on Rongguang, Benitez can be considered abnormal.

Even the goalkeepers can be criticized, that's the characteristic of Benitez, everyone has worked together in the second half of last season, they are all used to it, Benitez is such a person, you rarely see him smile after winning, he is always very strict.

There was such an incident last season, a player scored a goal in a game, the table was very good, and after coming down he was full of joy, he thought that Benitez would praise him, but he heard Benitez say to him: "There are still three areas where you can't do well in this game......

That's Benitez.

So the players who have worked with him, there are really few people who like him.

However, the changes he brought to Manchester City were indeed immediate, so no matter what Manchester City's players said about Benitez in private, they were still very convinced by his style in football.

On top of that, their leader, Glory, didn't show any disdain and anger after being criticized by Benitez, and they were even less qualified to say anything.

After Rongguang was criticized by Benitez this time, he didn't have any dissatisfaction, he just nodded: "I know." ”

Rongguang and Benitez have zero personal friendships, and the two of them left football without a word, not about the weather, not about recent TV shows, and without talking about "Have you eaten?" "Such a question.

If you only look at that, you would think that the relationship between Rongguang and Benitez must be terrible.

But that's not the case, and Benitez's most loyal followers in the dressing room may be glory.

Why?

No one knows why, Glory never said it, and Benitez naturally wouldn't explain such a thing to others.

Maybe...... It has something to do with the desire for both of them to keep getting stronger......

In order to make himself stronger, Benitez once traveled to various European countries at his own expense, watched the training of those famous coaches in various famous clubs, talked to them, and learned from them. It's just to make myself stronger as a manager.

And how Rongguang worked hard to become stronger does not need to be traced.

In terms of making himself stronger, Rongguang and Benitez are really a bit similar......

So the two of them don't need to like or attract each other, as long as they understand each other, they are people who work together because of the same goal, they don't need to be friends, as long as they can win together and become stronger.

After the break, the two sides returned to the pitch.

Both teams did not make any adjustments at the same time and the game continued.

In the second half, United were one goal behind and used the first seven or eight minutes of the second half to launch several waves of fierce attacks, but failed to find the back of the net, and then they quickly reverted to the form they had seen in the first half.

Ferguson is very experienced and knows that two goals behind is the deadliest thing compared to one goal down, so even if it is still 0-1 in the end, as long as there are ten minutes left, United still have a chance, they only need to score one goal to equalise and then drag the score into extra-time.

To know that an equaliser in the final moments of the game is a huge thrill for the team that scores the goal, and a heavy blow for the other team that has been leading until then.

The two sides will go into extra time with completely different mentalities, so the table will be completely different......

So although the score is behind, it can be seen that Manchester United is not in a hurry, but very calm.

Alex Ferguson's blow at half-time was effective.

Benitez naturally knew what Ferguson was going to do, but he didn't press it out to let the team try to score a second goal and end the suspense of the game early, and he also let the team play unhurriedly.

Anyway, in the last ten minutes, if Manchester United want to press hard, then hit them on the counterattack and see who is afraid of whom.

With a player of Glory's calibre, Benitez is not afraid of being equalised by United in the last minute.

The game is indeed going in that direction.

Eighty minutes into the game, both sides played tepidly, but just into the 80th minute, Manchester United suddenly came out of force and launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on Manchester City's goal.

But after Glory ran dozens of meters with the ball, shot at goal, and was pushed off the bottom line by Van der Sar with his fingertips, Manchester United's attack was clearly not as fierce as before - this was the most painful thing for them, the score was behind, there was not much time left in the game, and if they wanted to fight to the death, it was very likely that they would die before they could succeed...... Fighting to the death is not really going to die, but to take out the momentum of desperateness, but in the end you still have to survive, if you die in the end, then what's the point of fighting?

Manchester United have made the pace of glory annoying, but they can't think of a better way.

The same goes for Ferguson.

He could have pounced on all the attacking players and really ended up with City, but does that make sense?

It's just a Community Shield, and if you win, you won't necessarily win the league and the Champions League.

To put it bluntly, this is just a relatively official warm-up game before the season. Didn't you watch the substitutions in this game not three, but five?

I really can't fight with Manchester City in this game, even if it's a sworn enemy in the same city.

The old and spicy Ferguson takes a long-term view, not caring about the gains and losses of one city and one place, but looking at the whole season.

So in the end, he didn't ask the team to fight to the death, he used up the five substitutions in his hands, but the last one to be replaced was the young Italian striker Macheda, how could he put the burden of equalizing on Macheda, a rookie? This is clearly for the young players to go up and exercise and feel the atmosphere of the official game......

Eventually, when the referee blew the full-time whistle, there was a huge cheer in Wembley Stadium, which was made by the City fans.

"It's over! Manchester City beat Manchester United 1-0 and they finally beat Manchester United again in the new season thanks to a header from Young! This is the third time in just three months that Manchester City have beaten Manchester United! I think it's even more meaningful than they have won the Community Shield for the first time in 36 years! ”

Narrator John Mortenson said.

"In a sense, Manchester City are safe enough to compete with Manchester United. And it's worth noting that neither David Silva nor Sneijder, whom Manchester City have spent a lot of money on this summer, have yet to play...... And Benitez did not announce that Manchester City's transfer transfer has ended here, which means that there may be new arrivals in the future...... Manchester City will get even stronger. And what about Manchester United? After the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo, the team has not been able to bring in enough players to fill the void he has left behind, and Ferguson does not seem to have found a suitable solution...... If you think about it, maybe Manchester City will be a good spoiler team in this year's league? ”

"Alain, though. It was Young's first competitive game as Manchester City captain and he is now set to take the stage to lift the Community Shield trophy...... How do you feel about this? Didn't you say before that he might be distracted by being the captain, or that Manchester City's results would slip? Why didn't you see it at all in this game? John Mortensen asked Alan Hansen, who had just finished a serious analysis of the two teams, with a wicked smile.

Alan Hansen didn't expect Mortensen to mention this stubble at this time, he was stunned for a moment, and then prevaricated: "I'm talking about the future, but I didn't say now, it's still a short time, and I can't see anything." But it's hard to say what will happen in the future, the season is very long...... The impact is also gradually revealed, how can anyone see it from the beginning......"

While Alain Hansen was searching for a reason, the awards ceremony in the venue had reached its climax.

Glory, as the captain of the team, walked on the podium.

First he lowered his head and hung the gold around his neck, and then he took a disc, which was the Community Shield!

When Glory received the trophy, a large amount of blue and white confetti erupted from behind the podium, and the chorus of Manchester City fans resounded in the sky.

Manchester City's players swarmed around and scrambled to touch the Community Shield.

We are the champions!

Each of them looks at this trophy plate and thinks...... It's the right time to come to Manchester City!

And while the fans of Manchester City were singing and cheering, they couldn't help but think - is Manchester City's golden era coming?!
