The Community Shield, the pre-season appetizer, is Arsenal's first competitive game of the new season.

At Wembley Stadium.

Arsenal vs Manchester United!

The Community Shield is a preview of the Premier League season before it kicks off.

The two sides usually play the league winners against the FA Cup winners.

But because Arsenal won the league and the FA Cup last season.

So the opponent of this Community Shield has become Manchester United, the runners-up of the Premier League last season.

Manchester United were beaten twice by Arsenal in the league last season.

Especially for Manchester United.

Their drive for revenge is particularly strong.

The painful memory of being beaten double last season can certainly add a lot of extra motivation to United's players.

At the pre-match press conference.

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney was murderous: "We'll prove our quality in this game. It's a shame to be beaten three times by Arsenal in one season, and we need to wash it off ourselves! ”

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is under a lot of pressure.

Succeeding Ferguson, who is not under much pressure.

Compared to Manchester United.

On Arsenal's side.

From the manager to the players.

Facing this Community Shield match, it was much calmer.

After all, they won three consecutive games against Manchester United last season.

It's not a particularly important game.

There is no need for them to fight the blood.

'We hope to win the title and get the league off to a good start.'

Arsene Wenger was reluctant to say more in his pre-match press conference.

Faced with questions from reporters about the team's starting XI in this game and the like.

Arsene Wenger said he could not comment.

Ye Luo was interviewed by reporters as the player representative of this game.

"Of course we want to win!"

Ye Luo smiled at the many microphones and recorders in front of him.

"Supposedly Arsenal's goal is to win all the titles?"

"Of course! ”

Ye Luo said.

The game will be played at two o'clock in the afternoon local time.

August 2, 2014.

The England Community Shield is played at Wembley Stadium.

Before the game, Wembley Stadium was full of people, and fans from both sides entered early.

The two-month offseason has suffocated fans who are looking forward to the start of the new season.

Arsenal fans sang and danced.

Last season was undoubtedly an unprecedented success for Arsenal.

If you win the Community Shield again.

This is the fourth championship trophy of the year!

Inside the stadium.

Fans from both sides occupied a slice of the stands.

The game hasn't started yet.

The competition between the fans began.

Manchester United fans tried to silence Arsenal fans with louder voices.

However, Arsenal fans taunted their opponents with models of three trophies held alof.

So much so that many Manchester United fans were short of breath when they saw it.

Manchester United, who are all four empty, do not know what to say when facing Arsenal's treble.

Arsenal fans have flaunted the trophies they won last season.

It is even more popular for Manchester United fans.

"What arrogance! Last season was last season, this season is this season! We'll see what our team has to teach you! ”

"Champions League winners? We have three! ”

"We still have 12 Premier League titles!"

Manchester United fans can only respond with their own team heritage.

At the same time, they are also looking forward to the team teaching Arsenal a good lesson throughout the game.

Things do not turn out the way you want.

When the game starts.

Manchester United's fans are gradually dying down.

Because at this moment at Wembley Stadium.

The situation of the game was different from what everyone imagined before the game.

Before the game, people analyzed that the Community Shield was not a very important game in the first place.

So usually in order to please the fans, the two sides will fight each other.

After all, a game that has nothing to do with league points.

Neither side is likely to play particularly utilitarian.

Add to that Arsenal and Manchester United, if you analyze purely from the lineup.

The two teams are really not much different in terms of strength on paper.

So the pre-match media was previewing the game.

They all think that this is a battle of opening and closing.

Who can win on both sides.

It depends on which striker on both sides can take advantage of the opportunity.

However, when the game starts.

People find out.

Their pre-match analysis.

It's just out of the blue.

Arsenal are on the attack.

But United shrank – and of course, they didn't take the initiative.

Rather, it is a passive contraction!

Yes!

Ten minutes from the start of the game to now.

Arsenal are besieging Manchester United in a positional battle!

It's been ten minutes.

Manchester United didn't even get the ball many times.

The scene in front of you.

It really surprised many people who thought that Manchester United could at least have the strength to fight Arsenal.

"It's been ten minutes, Arsenal are besieging Manchester United! Manchester United were suppressed from the start! They're struggling in their own backyard! ”

"It's a surprise to see the names of both teams, and if you just look at the 10 minutes of match stats, you would think it's the Spanish national team vs. the Dragons national team."

The commentators were surprised.

Yes, on the pitch right now, Arsenal are showing a crushing advantage.

That's not to say that United are really weak.

It's that they're a little unprepared for the current situation.

It was supposed to be according to Manchester United's vision.

Manchester United will not win this game safely.

However, with a more mature midfield combination, it is possible to play Arsenal's adjusted tactical system.

How can you also take some advantage.

So when they were completely suppressed by Arsenal.

Manchester United's players couldn't believe it.

They turned out to be in ten minutes.

I didn't even touch the ball a few times.

The United players' touches were basically clearances, passive blocks, and attempts to dribble forward alone and were strangled.

Arguably.

Such a game situation.

It's the first time for Manchester United.

"Arsenal's midfield system is surprisingly smooth!"

"Ye Luo went to the most dangerous place, Manchester United did not dare to let the defenders press up because of Ye Luo's strong deterrence, so that in the midfield, Manchester United was completely at a disadvantage! Thanks to the deterrent power that Yelo brings, Arsenal's midfielders can get more space! ”

Even the commentators can see it.

Now Arsenal has put on a line-up that does look very impeccable.

Defender line.

Virgil van Dijk and Alderweireld teamed up.

The left and right wing-backs are Joao Cancelo and Luke Shaw respectively.

In midfield, Fabinho, Cazorla and N'Golo Kante are a combination of three midfielders.

Cazorla is more inclined towards attacking playmaking.

Fabinho and N'Golo Kante, on the other hand, are more defensively inclined.

The division of labor is clear.

In fact.

In Arsene Wenger's heart.

If N'Golo Kante can adapt well to the Premier League, he can be used as a midfielder in a midfield three after a period of training.

So.

Fabinho can be up front.

and Cazorla formed a double central midfielder to give full play to Fabinho's attacking ability.

This can make Arsenal's attack power even stronger!

At least on the books now.

Arsenal undoubtedly have a very good core of their squad.

Van Dijk, Cazorla, Yelo.

Such a central axis is definitely the best in the world.

The central axis is strong.

The team couldn't be any worse.

What's more, Arsenal's two wings are not bad players!

So it's no surprise that ill-prepared Manchester United were suppressed by Arsenal.

The eleventh minute of the game.

Arsenal launched an offensive.

Cazorla picked up the ball in midfield and opted to split the side to find Mane.

There's not much Mane needs to do in this Arsenal tactical system.

His tasks are two: to disrupt the opponent's defense with running without the ball, and to break through with speed when he has the ball!

Usually the coaching staff doesn't give too complicated tasks to young players.

Contrarily.

In Harry. Kane's side.

Harry. Kane has a lot more tactical tasks to take on than Mane.

On the football field.

Those who can work harder.

It's always true.

And what about Yelo?

He had so much more to do.

For example, now.

"Mane! He took the ball and faced Manchester United's full-back Patrice Evra, oh oh oh! Pretty get rid of the breakout! Mane's speed is so fast! ”

"Straight crosses !!"

"Mid !!"

"Yelo !!"

In the midst of the narrator's exclamation.

Ye Luo first made a move to rush to the back point.

Wait for him to rush halfway.

Suddenly turned back, spared the side of the centre-back Smalling, and grabbed the front point!

Smalling is even pulled.

It didn't stop Ye Luo from jumping.

I saw Ye Luo jumping high.

Throw the ball in the direction of the goal.

De Gea was quick to respond.

Shot, slapped the ball out hard.

Van Persie on the periphery wants to grab the first point.

As a result, he was suppressed by Alderweireld.

Alderweireld didn't go to grab the ball either.

He suppressed Van Persie.

The task of going to get a little belongs to Van Dijk.

Van Dijk easily stopped the ball and then pressed forward with the ball himself.

Sometimes.

The counter-attack launched by the centre-backs after getting the ball for the first time.

The threat is huge!

Virgil van Dijk's passing ability is good, but his new partner Alderweireld also has a good long-form ball, and both centre-backs have the ability to play the ball, which is obviously a big benefit to Arsenal's attack.

Van Dijk surprisingly dribbles forward.

Adding to the confusion of United's already chaotic defence.

In the midst of chaos.

Van Dijk's eyes were fixed on Yelo.

Ye Luo grabbed the point with a header and landed on the ground.

Immediately run back.

Avoid falling into the trap of being offside for Manchester United.

And when he ran back.

Van Dijk's pass also arrived.

"Van Dijk straight stop!!"

"Ye Luo!! Nice turn!! ”

Still facing Smalling's defense, Yelo let the ball turn and pull the ball by the way, and passed past Smalling.

Smalling did not dare to foul.

Give Yelo a penalty and forget it if he gets a red card

Then Manchester United will not play this game.

And it turned out.

Yelo turned past Smalling.

Directly facing the Manchester United goal!

Faced with such an opportunity.

How could Ye Luo let it go?

He looked at De Gea's position.

Shoot straight with your right foot!

Select one in the upper right corner.

De Gea only symbolically raised his hand.

Football before he reacted.

It was already whistling over his head.

Hit the net!

Twelfth minute of the game.

Arsenal's siege reaped the goal!

Yelo easily slotted the ball into the Manchester United goal!!

"Yelo !!!!!!"

At the moment when Yelo shoots the ball into the net.

The commentators jumped to their feet.

"Finally a goal! Although everyone knows that under such a siege of Arsenal, Manchester United will not hold out for long! However, when the goal comes, it still feels incredible! Could it be that Arsenal is so strong? ”

Andy Gray exclaimed.

After sending away a group of veterans and fringe players.

Arsenal's squad is even more lean.

Their tactical style of play has also become more mature!

Like now.

"The midfield three of Cazorla, N'Golo Kante and Fabinho completely freed up Yelo and he only needs to think about one thing now, and that is . . . How to get the ball into the opponent's goal! ”

Lineker sighed.

"That's the best way to use Yelo, the best player in the world!"

Andy Gray also nodded again and again when he heard this: "Yes, Yelo is very good, but Arsenal must also protect Yelo so that he can be more relaxed on the field, so as not to overdraw Yelo's energy." ”

Arsenal's use of Yelo last season actually caused criticism from many people in the football circle.

They felt that Yelo's talent was destined to leave his name in the history of football.

As a result, Arsenal can be said to have been basically carried by Ye Luo last season.

It's been an okay season.

If only it were like this every season.

That Yelo is the Iron Man.

I'm afraid it's going to be smoothed out.

In fact, Arsene Wenger can't help it.

To know.

Arsenal before Yelo joined.

In terms of strength, it is only a middle and upper team in the Premier League.

Except for a handful of star players.

Other Arsenal players.

And what Tottenham Everton players are not much different.

Therefore, he can only make full use of Ye Luo's ability.

And now Arsene Wenger is building a really strong team.

The same revolves around Ye Luo.

Last season's Arsenal squad can be said to be a drag for Yelo.

And Arsene Wenger has built a system this season.

It will truly become a multiplier of Ye Luo's abilities.

Integrate the abilities of the stars into the team's system.

That's the way it should be.

Mourinho looked solemn on the sidelines.

He saw it too.

The current Arsenal is no longer the same as last season's Arsenal.

Last season.

All you need to do is keep an eye on Ye Luo - although most of the time it's hard to keep an eye on.

But at least, when it comes to dealing with Arsenal.

Yelo wants to score, he has to push from midfield to the front.

This is a bit of a cushion for the team.

And now?

Ye Luo took the ball directly in the most dangerous position.

He doesn't need to pass, two-to-one, three-to-one, and even pushes the ball directly himself.

He only needs to catch the ball and make a slight adjustment to shoot!

This makes the pressure on Manchester United's backline suddenly become infinite!

Their defenses are under mortal threat at all times.

The stress that comes with this threat.

It made the United players very nervous.

So much so that the consumption of physical energy will become faster in this case.

What to do?

Mourinho frowned.

For a while.

He really didn't have any other way. (End of chapter)
