Chapter 0670, Community Shield, lost

On the sidelines of Wembley Stadium, Jose Mourinho meets Pep Guardiola again.

At this moment, Guardiola does not have the tense state of last season, and his face is full of peace.

It's like the temperament that once had the peak of Barcelona, the clouds are light and the wind is light.

Mourinho looked him up and down: "Look at you like this, you seem to be confident about this game." ”

Pep Guardiola smiled: "Not for this game, but for this season. ”

Mourinho also smiled: "Yes, you are still quite blindly confident." ”

"Whether it's blind confidence or not, you will know at the end of the season, but it's you," Guardiola looked at Mourinho meaningfully, "Your time at Manchester United this season is not expected to be particularly easy, maybe you will be in big trouble, hehe." ”

Looking at Guardiola, who turned to leave, Mourinho's face was full of disdain: "This crow-billed guy, he is jealous." Today I want to see what kind of capital he has to be confident in. ”

At this time on the court, two old acquaintances were also chatting.

Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola, both friends and foes.

Xia Xing and Mahrez, the same goes for the two.

When they were in Leicester City, the two had a good relationship and were good partners.

But even so, the two compete with each other in the team, but this is a healthy competition and does not affect the brotherly relationship.

Later, Xia Xing transferred to Manchester United and met again, and the two became completely rivals.

The two who used to have similar strength have embarked on different paths, one is getting stronger and the other is declining in popularity.

Therefore, Mahrez regards Xia Xing as a competitor in his heart.

In his heart, he always felt that what Xia Xing had gotten, he was also qualified and able to get.

The reason why Xia Xing is not as good as Xia Xing now is because he stayed in Leicester City, and Xia Xing left the team.

Therefore, he left the team in a hurry last summer and ultimately failed to make it.

This summer, he had to fall out with the club and leave, and finally joined the competitive Manchester City as he wished.

The 27-year-old is in his prime and is looking forward to everything this season.

Seeing Xia Xing at this time, his face also showed a strong sense of confidence.

"Xia, long time no see."

"Man, you've finally got your wish and joined a big team."

"yes, I'm happy with the status quo."

"If you wanted to join a big club, why didn't you think about coming to Manchester United?"

"I think it's going to be fun to play against you, haha."

"Okay, then I'm looking forward to your performance in this game."

The two high-fived hard, and Mahrez turned decisively and ran towards the Manchester City camp, seizing the time to warm up.

Looking at Mahrez's back, Xia Xing felt a little emotional.

The brothers in Leicester City are now in different circumstances.

Of course, the best mixed is Xia Xing, the core of the six-time champion team, and he is in the limelight.

Then there is N'Golo Kante, who, although he did not win any club title at Chelsea, has become the absolute heart of the team's defence, and has even been called one of the best midfielders of this era. And in the past World Cup, he also won the World Cup championship as the main force. The prestige is second only to Xia Xing.

In third place is Mahrez. Although he still stuck with Leicester City, and even fought for relegation at one point, it is because of this that his ability has been maximized. At present, Leicester City is only regarded as world-class by him and Vardy, and Mahrez continues to rank among the top attacking players in the Premier League with his outstanding performances, which is why Guardiola has always wanted to dig up, and finally got his wish this season.

Once there were four Leicester City brothers, and the worst one was Drinkwater......

Today, in the face of his former brother, Mahrez broke out!

Manchester United did not field a full squad for this game.

For example, Lukaku, who is not yet physically up to standard, is still on the bench, and then Ashley Young, who is not in good physical condition, and Valencia, who was slightly injured in training, and so on.

Manchester United's starting line-up for this game was a bit stretched.

Up front, Jose Mourinho arranged for Marcus Rashford to burst forward, followed by Xia Xing, Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez.

The back pair brought on Nemanja Matic and Fred.

At the back, Luke Shaw and Darmian split between the left and right.

Overall, the squad is similar to last season.

But unexpectedly, he was almost disabled by his opponent in the game.

Today, Manchester City are still in a 3-4-3 formation, with heavy players in the midfield and attackers.

The front three were Leroy Sane, Sergio Aguero and Riyad Mahrez, with new signing Riyad Mahrez moving to his favourite right wing.

In midfield were Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Gundogan and Fernandinho.

Good both offensively and defensively.

Compared with last season, Mahrez has only been adjusted by one position, and there is not much change.

But it's this lineup that pushes Manchester United to the ground and rubs it.

As soon as the game started, Riyad Mahrez was very active on the right flank.

In this game, Pep Guardiola clearly wants to use the right side to make things happen.

Riyad Mahrez pressed down the right flank and De Bruyne was a frequent threat behind him.

The sharp attacks of these two people made it a little difficult for Xia Xing, who was defending them on this side.

It's not easy to defend the two of them with the strength of a single person.

In the midfield, although Matic and Fred are good, they have just run in and need more time.

In the 14th minute of the game, Mahrez took advantage of Xia Xing's being held back by De Bruyne and suddenly stepped forward quickly!

De Bruyne scurried out and found Mahrez accurately!

On the edge of the penalty area, Mahrez changed direction in a row, and finally pulled decisively!

Luke Shaw was directly passed!

Outside the box, kick up, blast!

The ball goes straight into the far corner!

There is no solution to this shot!

1 to 0!

Manchester City scored the first goal, and it was amazing!

In the next period, Mahrez was even more excited.

In front of United's defence, he often used his skill and speed to tear apart the defence.

Compared to Raheem Sterling on the previous side, he has more advantages, especially his ability to attack goal.

Xia Xing was also pinned down by him and De Bruyne on this side, and there were not many opportunities to get forward throughout the first half.

At the end of the first half, City maintained a one-goal advantage.

In the second half, it was easy to fight again, and then it was time to perform in the middle.

Mourinho frowned on the sidelines.

He can see that Gundogan and B Xi are making rapid progress!

Compared to last season, their technique and ball intelligence have improved a lot.

No wonder Pep Guardiola was willing to let David Silva play on the bench, no wonder he didn't bring in new midfielders this summer, so it was.

In the 65th minute of the game, Gundogan cooperated with seat B in a row, and finally Gundogan shot low at the top of the arc of the penalty area!

Insert the ball into the net!

2 to 0!

Manchester City scored another goal!

In the end, this was the score at the end of the game.

At Wembley Stadium, Manchester City beat Manchester United 2-0 to get off to a good start to the new Premier League season.

Manchester United, on the other hand, struggled and lost their first game.

Community Shield, lost...... (End of chapter)
