In the new Wembley Stadium, the starters of Liverpool and Manchester City came out with their heads held high.

Coman and Mancini shook hands on the sidelines before the game, Mancini was ambitious, Coman was calm, and the status and role of the Reds and the Blues in English and even European football determined that the current mentality of the two sides was completely different.

"I believe everyone has been looking forward to the new Premier League season for a long time, and before the new season starts, the first thing that will be played is the continuation of last season's title battle.

Liverpool, who have won the Premier League twice in a row, face Manchester City, the FA Cup winners last season!

Liverpool and Manchester City have a relatively large transfer move in the summer, Liverpool has introduced Brazil's top central defender Thiago Silva and French midfielder Cabaye, Manchester City has recruited Argentina's top scorer Sergio Aguero and Arsenal fullback Klich and other big players in the transfer market, and now Manchester City is still operating the transfer of Nasri and De Rossi, and Liverpool has paid for it in the transfer market.

Neutral fans who like the Premier League must be very interested in the big additions of the Premier League giants, as well as the big investment of other teams, which will make the new Premier League more competitive and the game will inevitably be more enjoyable.

Let's take a look at today's starting lineup.

Liverpool started 433.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Flanagant, Thiago Silva, Skrtel, Baines.

Midfielders: Tiot, Alonso, Gerrard.

Forwards: Kuyt, Suarez, Qin Xiong.

Liverpool's Johnson was unwell in the pre-game warm-up and was temporarily withdrawn from the starting line-up, with Academy youngster Flanagan becoming the starting right wing-back. As an 18-year-old young player. It was a test for him to start for Liverpool today. Hopefully he can withstand the pressure and play well.

Mascherano was hidden by Koeman today, according to Liverpool's local newspaper Echo, Koeman was unhappy with Mascherano's physical condition, and today may have been a punishment, but perhaps to give Mascherano more rest time so that he can make a greater contribution to the Reds in the Premier League opener.

Take a look at Manchester City's starting line-up.

Manchester City started 433.

Goalkeeper: Hart.

Defenders: Richards, Kompany. Lescott, Chrissy.

Midfielders: De Jong, Bari, Yaya Toure.

Forwards: Adam Johnson, Dzeko, David Silva.

Sergio Aguero, who came in the summer, is not in the starting line-up, and Roberto Mancini is still giving the Argentine time to settle into the team, but we have to say that Manchester City's current forward line is really full of talent, or too much.

Tevez hasn't left yet. Balotelli, who doesn't stop, Dzeko who started today. There are also Sergio Aguero and so on, Manchester City has so many center forwards, but there is only one starting position, at least under the 433 system, the center forward only needs one player, unless Mancini can change the formation and play, which may be able to add a striker.

Well, the game is about to begin, so let's take a look at how the Reds and the Blues are in shape on the eve of the new season. ”

Once the game started, neither team picked up the tempo of the game.

The Community Shield is just a warm-up game.

On the contrary, the two teams pay more attention to the run-in of their own technical and tactical systems, after all, both teams have new signings to join, plus a summer of rest, and now it is the stage of returning to the competitive state and finding the state of the game.

In the 6th minute of the game, Liverpool took the lead in blowing the horn of attack.

Alonso crossed the ball diagonally across the flank at the back, and Baines led the way up the flank, and after half-time, he crossed the ball to the middle of the pitch in the face of De Jong's interception.

Steven Gerrard scrambled the ball to the left before Yaya Toure could interfere with it.

The moment Qin Xiong ran into place to stop the ball, he dribbled the ball backwards, dodged Barry's press, and then took a diagonal step towards the ball, and he shook off the pass gap.

Suarez ran diagonally in the middle to the left side of the hinterland of the penalty area, driving Kompany and Lescott, and Qin Xiong picked the ball behind Lescott.

As the ball flew lightly over Lescott's head, the City defence spotted Kuyt in the box and he slid diagonally towards the City goal to get a shot on goal.

Facing the falling football, Kuyt was full of confidence, and did not stop the ball and directly got up to volley.

Joe Hart was startled and didn't make a save at all, but Kuyt's shot was deflected off the net and into the stands.

"Kuyt wasted a great opportunity! Qin Xiong's pick pass is already impeccable, Kuyt is in a hurry, he can stop the ball and adjust it to shoot, the difficult volley is very ornamental, but unfortunately he did not do it perfectly. Football flew into the stands, and Liverpool at least played the momentum of the championship. ”

Manchester City's side seem to have found a suitable system in attack.

In other words, Mancini has a lot of fierce generals, but how to blend the current squad into a whole that can generate positive team chemistry and create a suitable tactical system, they have not yet done it.

For example, Silva plays winger, Yaya Toure is a midfielder, which is destined to have a heavier organizational task than Silva!

Unless Silva can become a brilliant wing-midfielder like Ronaldinho did many years ago!

Or he has the strength of Qin Xiong to walk on the ground in the front cross-section now.

Silva is a great organiser, but unfortunately he can't reach the heights of Ronaldinho and Qin Xiong.

As a winger, he can't reach the limit of his talent.

Adam Johnson's performance as a right winger has never been as impressive as he was before his move to Manchester City, and he has become more and more mediocre after a season.

How to adjust Manchester City's technical and tactical system is now the most important problem for Mancini to solve, and how to cook delicious dishes is a test of his professional ability.

It's hard for City to play an inscrutable attack, often straight to the point, with a clear end at a glance.

Either a cross from the wing, or a push down the middle finds an opportunity to shoot from distance in front of the box.

But that doesn't mean they can't create a threat, it's just that Liverpool often needs a hard power competition to contain their opponents!

Just like most opponents can predict Qin Xiong's next move, but if the speed can't keep up and is broken through in a one-on-one offensive and defensive confrontation, what can be predicted?

Hard power is crushed, which is the most helpless thing.

Manchester City are like that now, looking for Liverpool's weak links to create chances, which allows them to be targeted in attack. (To be continued.) )
