There is no doubt about winning the Community Shield.
Pellegrini smiled and applauded before making substitutions.
There are more substitution places in the Community Shield.
Therefore, Manchester City directly replaced half of the team's lineup.
Hao Qiang, Aguero, David Silva, De Bruyne, Fernandinho and Zabaleta went off together.
Arsenal fans see the substitute players.
Nasri, Bony, Fernando, Sagna, Delphi, Navas.
Suddenly the defense was broken again.
"The thickness of Manchester City's lineup is really amazing!"
"If we had half the thickness of Manchester City's squad, we wouldn't have to worry about competing for fourth place every season."
"See? This is the magic of money!"
Manchester City retreated and trained their substitute rotation lineup.
Pellegrini returned to the coaching bench, looking calm and collected.
Wenger also sat on the coaching bench, frowning.
Manchester City is really killing people and killing people!
Regardless of technical and tactical play or lineup depth.
Wenger felt a strong sense of malice and hurt!
Manchester City made 442 changes after substitutions. Although the offensive efficiency and quality are not as good as before, the team's overall fighting spirit is still worthy of praise.
Everyone strives to be first, active and brave.
The only one who was a little depressed was Sterling.
After the replacement, he thought he would be the well-deserved protagonist.
But he didn't get many opportunities.
It seems that these substitute players have no awareness of treating him as the backbone.
Look at the score, it's already 4:0.
This is the performance moment of Manchester City's substitutes and rotation players.
They hope to perform well in the game.
When Manchester City's main players are on the court, they just don't want to worry too much about Sterling. They focus on the overall situation.
If there are many opportunities created, of course a lot of them will be given to Sterling.
But these substitutes can create few opportunities, and they are not willing to make him a wedding dress.
So Sterling had no chance to perform.
Arsenal's generals were outplayed.
Manchester City's wave of substitutions for most of the team really hurt their self-esteem deeply.
Wenger also made a substitution, with Giroud and Arteta making substitutions.
Arsenal's performance has improved significantly since coming on.
The main reason is that the style of play no longer pursues complicated and low-fault-tolerant team passing and coordination, but simply and crudely rushes into the penalty area.
The king of heaven overshadows the tigers of the earth, but I am the great Jilu!
Giroud's high point is that his tactical role is obvious, and there is a certain degree of certainty in attacking and attacking.
But it is completely contrary to the beautiful football that Wenger has always pursued.
Arsenal is no longer beautiful, but they are playing efficiently.
Constantly creating pressure on Manchester City's defense.
As the game approached the 85th minute, Giroud's header in the penalty area caused Joe Hart to make a save, and Cazorla made a supplementary shot in front of the penalty area.
Arsenal pulled a goal back.
It's like getting a face ball.
Manchester City fans don't care.
Arsenal fans have mixed feelings.
"Oops! After this goal was scored, the game was not too badly lost, and it gave Wenger a good excuse not to make any signings."
"What kind of excuse is this? We only lost to Manchester City by three goals?"
"And the opponent also replaced the main midfielders and forwards!"
"Are we still happy that we lost to Manchester City 1:4?"
Regardless of whether it gave Wenger a reason not to sign anyone.
It's impossible for Wenger to spend money anyway.
The game ended quickly, and Manchester City defeated Arsenal 4:1 to win the Community Shield.
The Arsenal generals were full of resentment and grievance.
Wenger became the focus instead.
Fleet Street couldn't wait to ask him if he wanted a "revenge" signing!
Wenger avoided talking about signings after the game, and Arsenal fans quickly began calling for Wenger's dismissal.
It's much earlier than usual.
Manchester City players celebrated winning the Community Shield at the new Wembley Stadium.
Fleet Street is full of praise for Manchester City.
"Manchester City's summer signings are almost perfect, strengthening their shortcomings and strengthening their forward line."
"Manchester City is undergoing a style change in the Champions League defending season!"
"What kind of storm will Manchester City create with a stronger attack than last season?"
Manchester City's new players enjoyed the joy and glory of winning the championship.
And small trophies like the Community Shield are actually a bit useless for the main players and core players.
It's not like I'm being hypocritical.
Although the new season has not officially started, winning a Community Shield first will have a positive effect on morale.
The team prepared carefully for the game.
Manchester City travel to Tbilisi, Georgia in midweek.
The European Super Cup is here as scheduled.
Champions League champion Manchester City faces Europa League champion Sevilla.
International Stadium.
The starting players of both teams are getting ready in the tunnel.
Hao Qiang reunited with his former Lille teammate French center back Lamy after a long absence.
The two smiled and shook hands before hugging each other.
We haven’t seen each other for many years, and each of us has gone on a long journey since our separation.
Hao Qiang was able to meet again with many of his former Lille teammates, which in itself proves that the Lille team back then was full of talented people.
Hazard, Cabaye, Rami, Debuchy, etc.
After a few words of greeting, the two returned to their respective teams, their expressions becoming extremely serious.
This is Hao Qiang’s second time competing in the European Super Cup, the last time he represented Naples.
Of course he is not nervous, he only has the ambition to win the championship.
The starting players of both teams made their debut.
The atmosphere at the scene was lively.
Manchester City fans and Sevilla fans were equally matched.
The momentum was overwhelming.
Manchester City started with 433.
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.
Defenders: Zabaleta, Kompany, Otamendi, Clichy.
Midfielder: De Bruyne, Fernandinho, David Silva.
Forward: Sterling, Hao Qiang, Aguero.
Sevilla started 433.
Goalkeeper: Beto.
Defenders: Koke, Krychowiak, Rami, Tremulina.
Midfielder: Banega, Deli, Ibora.
Forwards: Reyes, Gameiro, Vitolo.
With the referee's whistle, the European Super Cup officially kicked off.
Pellegrini stood on the sidelines supervising the battle.
After all, it is the European Super Cup, and winning it can make the honor book shine even more.
Sevilla coach Emery was also standing on the sidelines, but he looked a little nervous.
There is a level difference between the Europa League champion and the Champions League champion.
You can tell by looking at the lineup.
Manchester City started the game aggressively.
Sevilla concentrated on defense.
David Silva and De Bruyne smoothly advanced to the frontcourt with the support of the full-backs.
Hao Qiang serves as the fulcrum, Aguero cuts in from the left, and the best space and opportunity is on Sterling's side.
David Silva received Hao Qiang's return pass and sent a precise diagonal pass.
Sterling cut in and touched the ball, speeding up and changing direction to pass Rami from the outside, and then kicked the goal from a small angle.
Beto guarded the near corner of the goal and found that the ball hit the side netting directly.
Manchester City fans responded with applause and encouragement.
After all, this is the European arena. No matter how Sterling's strengths and weaknesses are highlighted at the same time, their own cubs and their own people still need to give more care.
After Sevilla's fast break reached the frontcourt, Reyes made a cross to find Gameiro, who was blocked by Kompany during the scramble.
Sevilla's overall advancement is fine, but its finishing ability will be tested today.
In the 7th minute of the game, Hao Qiang found De Bruyne with a header in the middle of the frontcourt, and then Hao Qiang turned and advanced into the penalty area.
Aguero cut directly in, and De Bruyne passed the ball into the right rib area of the penalty area.
Sterling is incredibly fast, as fast as the wind.
After entering the penalty area and touching the ball on the right rib, he had two good options.
Or pass the ball to a far point, and Aguero shoots from behind.
Either pass the ball back in an inverted triangle and insert Hao Qiang who just entered the penalty area.
But he chose to shoot directly.
If he is Manchester City's first striker, there is no problem with this choice.
But he is not.
The ball went in, no problem.
However, the ball didn't go in.
Beto blocked the ball.
Aguero was disappointed.
When Hao Qiang returned to defense, he turned to look at Sterling.
Damn it!
He saw a smile on Sterling's face.
baffling.
What are you laughing at?
Happy football people?
Sevilla launched a counterattack on the spot.
The technical foundation of La Liga teams is the highest among the five major leagues.
Sevilla's passing and cutting coordination was also very smooth.
This is still not quite the same as Arsenal's ground passing and cutting cooperation.
Sevilla values efficiency more.
He won't control the ball for the sake of controlling the ball.
A small triangle pass with one kick is not only active, but also a threat.
When Gameiro acted as a fulcrum in the frontcourt and passed the ball to Bitolo, Bitolo cut inside and had the opportunity to enter the penalty area and get a chance to shoot.
Fernandinho's interception from the side failed to touch the football and instead tripped it to the ground.
The referee's whistle sounded.
A direct free kick was given to Sevilla in a dangerous area.
Fernandinho looked a little unhappy.
While Fleet Street was complimenting and praising Manchester City's changes, as the main defensive midfielder, he took on more responsibilities and pressure in defense.
You must know that last season, when Manchester City's midfield and backcourt defense was strongest, they used two midfielders as the base, and three midfielders to maximize the intensity.
After De Bruyne arrived this year, not only was it impossible to have a three-back midfielder, he also lost a double back midfielder.
Of course, in theory, Manchester City can use offense instead of defense.
But reality means that Manchester City's defense cannot avoid being attacked by opponents.
Otherwise, the team could just add 10 offensive players and be done with it.
Moreover, due to the change from a double defensive midfielder to a single defensive midfielder, once Manchester City's defense encounters a threat from the opponent, it may be in a more dangerous situation than last season.
Because their defensive strength has declined.
At this point, Pellegrini has not made any improvements or adjustments.
At the beginning of the new season, we won a big win in the Community Shield.
When winning, it's hard to see specific problems.
Banega came to take the direct free kick.
Hao Qiang stood in the penalty area and acted as a human wall.
When Banega shot the ball, Hao Qiang took off and his height to block it was definitely high enough.
But David Silva and De Bruyne, who were also jumping around, were obviously not high enough.
The football flew right over David Silva's head.
Then it plummeted and flew into the upper left corner of the Manchester City goal!
"Banega scored directly from a wonderful free kick! Haha, Manchester City's shortcoming is obviously their height when defending set pieces.
Kompany and Otamendi have to mark people in front of the goal and place them inside the wall, so it seems that Zabaleta and Hao Qiang can block it after taking off.
David Silva was also helpless.
If he doesn't come to act as a human wall.
Do we have to count on Aguero and Sterling?
After all, Manchester City is not a team with an outstanding average height.
Sevilla leads Manchester City 1:0."
The Sevilla generals rushed to celebrate, and the fans were very excited.
Manchester City fans almost wanted to cover their faces.
It's a bit embarrassing.
However, the mentality of the Manchester City generals is unsettled.
David Silva doesn't have much mental burden either.
Otherwise?
Who is to blame?
After Sevilla celebrated, they were surprised to see Manchester City already in formation ready for kick-off.
Emery applauded and then reminded the team to strengthen their defense and not to relax at all.
Manchester City's offensive quickly swept up the frontcourt.
When Hao Qiang received the pass from Aguero in front of the penalty area, he quickly completed the collision with David Silva.
He did not choose to rush forward, but cut across to the right side of the top of the penalty area, and took a long shot without Lamy stepping forward to defend.
A heavy shot hit the far corner of the goal.
Looks like fun!
Beto made a wonderful save and saved the ball from the bottom line with one palm.
call!
Manchester City fans felt very sorry, but immediately applauded.
Since Hao Qiang's debut, the thing he has improved the most is his shooting skills.
Now he has reached the level of mastery in archery.
Looking at the entire European football world, he may not be able to score flashy goals like some players, but in terms of shooting threat, he is definitely no worse than Boss May and President among the super giants.
Under super giant, invincible.
Although Sevilla leads the score, it still faces tremendous pressure.
In the 15th minute of the game, Aguero passed the ball across the ball after cutting inside. Hao Qiang ran to cover. When David Silva came up to shoot hard, Banega's pressing turned into a foul.
The referee awarded Manchester City a dangerous free kick.
It's almost exactly the same position as Banega's previous goal.
It's just a half-time change.
De Bruyne, David Silva and Hao Qiang stand in front of the football.
De Bruyne saw that both of them wanted to take the penalty, so he took the initiative to walk away.
Newcomers naturally have to figure out their own position.
Hao Qiang and David Silva played rock, paper, scissors very simply.
When the Sevilla fans saw this scene, they laughed angrily!
"Haha, those who didn't know better thought Manchester City was ahead!"
"You are really shameless and shameless. You are still playing here when you are behind in the score?"
"It would be embarrassing if I couldn't score."
Hao Qiang Stone, David Silva Scissors.
Hao Qiang won, David Silva walked away.
Taking a few steps back, Hao Qiang took a deep breath and looked at the eye door with all his concentration.
He looks majestic in the camera, and the sharpness in his eyes is compelling.
When he took a run-up and fired an angry shot, the Sevilla players lined up on the wall were trembling inwardly.
If he is shot in a vital part, he will be half disabled even if he is not dead!
boom!
A heavy shot was shocking.
The football flew over the edge of the wall without any spin and hit the dead center!
Beto fought hard to save but missed by a hair.
The ball speed is too fast!
Manchester City fans cheer wildly!
"Wow! Hao Qiang performed a violent aesthetic of shooting! Just one word, strong!
The power explodes and the ball is as fast as light!
Even if he hit the far corner of the goal, Beto was unable to recover.
Manchester City equalized the score 1:1!
This game looks like it’s going to be a goal shootout!”
