The two sides met last season, with Pep Guardiola's side beating the Gunners home and away, so the Arsenal squad will also be looking to humiliate at Wembley.

Led by the referees, players from both sides walked past the Community Shield placed at the entrance of the players' tunnel, flanked by Arsenal's FA Cup trophy and Manchester City's league winners' trophy.

Beginning with the traditional national anthem singing ceremony, the captains of both sides will pick sides, and the Community Shield will begin immediately.

"Alain, whether you agree or not, I still think that Sun will become that dazzling star today, this is a hunch." Martin Taylor looked at Sun Xiangdao, who was jumping on the spot on the field to warm up.

"Alright Martin, let's make a bet that if Sun can score today, then I'll wear his shirt and work with you in the next Arsenal game."

Martin Taylor decisively accepted it, and it didn't hurt him at all.

…………………………

In the sixth minute, Arsenal launched a wave of attacks.

Cazorla took the ball on the left side, attracted Walker and picked the ball to Sun Xiang in front of him, Sun Xiang faced Otamendi's defensive use of the change of frequency and suddenly broke into the penalty area, and Otamendi, who started a little slowly, was left behind.

Raiding to the bottom line, Sun Xiang hit the ball back to the middle, and at this time the Manchester City penalty area was crowded, and the slightest change of direction would threaten the goal.

The Arsenal fans at the scene stood up, and Sun Xiang's first appearance gave them such a performance!

But unfortunately in the end, no one could touch the ball, although Lacazette ran to the position, but the vision was affected and could not reach, the ball rolled out of the other sideline, and Blue Moon escaped.

In the eighth minute, Manchester City were in danger again.

Sun Xiang was active on the right side of the pitch at this time, and Bellerin sought a one-two with Sun Xiang, but Delph's close defense prevented Bellerin from pulling out space. So Sun Xiang directly changed his thinking and took the ball to the middle on one side of his body.

Manchester City's defense has been solid, and the ground pass control cannot be effective at all, and there is a kind of big knife in front of Guan Gong.

Just as the City defence was focused on the next spot, Alexandre Lacazette, who was cruising on the back line, suddenly activated.

At the same time, Sun Xiang, who dribbled the ball horizontally, sent the ball over the top.

Kompany, who reacted, turned back to chase but it was too late, and could only watch Lacazette head the ball easily unguarded.

Perhaps because it was too easy, Lacazette's header had power but no angle, and it happened to be held by Moraes.

Lacazette looked up to the sky and gave a thumbs up to Sun Xiang, who gave a beautiful pass.

"Sun was so excited after the opening! Both effective attacks were launched by him. Mr. Allan, it looks like you'll need to go buy a shirt after the game. While evaluating the field, Martin Taylor did not forget to remind Alan next to him about the bet.

"It's best if you can score goals, but the sales of Sun jerseys seem to be very good right now, so it's definitely not easy to get them."

On the field, Wenger's face is indeed full of flowers.

"It seems that Sun's adaptability is still very good." The teaching assistant on the side said.

"So far, I haven't seen Sun engage in physical confrontation, maybe he doesn't want to do it, just like the other party's Silva, like an elf who is always agile." Arsene Wenger replied.

Spaniard David Silva was not favored when he first arrived in the Premier League, the reason is that his body is too thin, and Spain has never been a power-seeking country. But then Silva slapped the gang in the face with a stunning performance. He showed Spain's agility to the fullest, so that his opponents couldn't touch him with their bodies.

Sun Xiang is now a bit close to Silva. However, he is much stronger than Silva, which at first glance is a bit unaccustomed.

As the game progressed, the movements of the players on both sides slowly increased. In the fifteenth minute, Bellerin received a yellow card for bringing down De Bruyne from behind.

"Referee, I touched the ball!" Bellerin complained.

'A behind-the-back tackle is a dangerous move and a yellow card is for sure. Bellerin doesn't need to complain. Martin said.

The referee also insisted on his decision, giving a yellow card and giving City a free-kick opportunity.

Tintin's free-kick hit the crossbar and sent Arsenal fans in a cold sweat.

Kevin De Bruyne has been one of the best midfielders in England and the world over the past two seasons, especially last season, and Arsene Wenger sent two players to guard him at the same time.

But he has too many attacking tools and set-pieces are one of the sharp weapons.

"The Belgians must not be given another chance!" Mustafi, the captain of the field and also the backbone of the defence, shouted.

……………………………………

In the 22nd minute, Arsenal threatened Manchester City's goal again.

In the first half of this game, Arsenal seemed to have the upper hand, and last season's league table seemed to have reversed.

Alexandre Lacazette dropped back to midfield to pick up the ball, and was unmarked before the meeting, so he dribbled forward.

City defended and retreated, and when it was almost time for Lacazette to get to the box, he passed the ball out.

Sun Xiang on the left side of the penalty area gets the ball. Walker and Fernandinho were attracted by Sun Xiang with the ball.

Sun Xiang didn't stop the ball, attracted the defenders and then passed the ball back to Lacazette.

The latter took a step to the right and then took a shot at the far post.

With a "bang", the ball hit the far post.

The two sides exchanged courtesies, kicking the post once in 10 minutes. So this time it was the turn of Manchester City fans to wipe their cold sweats.

"It's really intense! It feels like it's been a long time since I've been so excited! "Martin Taylor's enthusiasm gets the game going.

"Looks like you took enough leave last season." Alan Smith sneered and joked in the English style.

"You're right! But don't forget your jersey! ”

The two are in a good mood right now, so why not be able to have a peak showdown before the season?

…………………………………………

On 35 minutes, City also threatened Cech's goal.

De Bruyne dribbled the ball in the middle, Mustafi stepped forward to defend, Tintin split the ball to the left in time, and after winning the ball, Sane burst into a cold arrow near the penalty line. Koscielny had a touchline on his leg, but Cech was focused enough to fight the ball off the line.

From the ensuing corner, De Bruyne's corner found Kompany in the box, but the Belgian centre-back's header was slightly higher and flew off the crossbar.

After that, there was no threat between the two sides, and the score went into the break with a score of 0:0.

"Alain, what do you think of the first half?"

"I have to say Martin, Sun was as you said, he was the star player in the first half. Almost every Arsenal attack passed under his feet. He passes the ball like a magician. Alan Smith praised.

"I'll just say, he's a fantastic player, a fantastic player everywhere! I can't wait to see the second half! ”
