Chapter 246: First crown of the new season

At the beginning of the new season, the equivalent of Manchester United, who was forced to make a big change, did not fall directly into the disadvantage as expected during the game!
One is because, after all, the season has just begun. After the summer commercial activities, the two teams have not adjusted to the best state of the game! In the case where both sides are not so good in their competitive state, the stable advantage of Chelsea's lineup is of course not so obvious!
Secondly, it is because, in this game, Ferguson, once again demonstrated his coaching ability, which is not in vain. Sir Alex Ferguson's red empire was built by his own talents! Based on the current line-up, Ferguson chose the tactical style that best suits his team, the most suitable tactical system for these starting players today!
This is the role of an experienced old coach who has enough mature tactical options in his hands. According to the composition of his players, he can select the most suitable tactics to polish the players and give play to their strength!
This Community Shield game, which is equivalent to the Super Cup of the Premier League, was the first meeting between Manchester United and Chelsea after the Champions League final at the end of last season. It started on time at Wembley Stadium!
At the beginning of the game, Manchester United's posture was very low. Although it was still a 442 tactic, in this game, Manchester United took the initiative to retreat to the defensive side. Starting from the defense, it did not give Chelsea too many opportunities. !
You must know that in the original Champions League final, Manchester United occupied a considerable initiative most of the time. The strength on the offensive end made Manchester United dared to control the ball and press the Ersi defense, but now, offense and defense are reversed!
As far as Manchester United’s overall defensive effect is concerned, after losing most of the main players and incorporating many new aids, the purely defensive system must have dropped a lot of tacit understanding with the previous Champions League finals. However, it has to What I admit is that, under Ferguson's constant emphasis, this team that has no superstars, on the defensive end, all members have contributed enough defensive power!
The Manchester United players on the field, from the beginning of the game, have been running with their full strength to make up for the lack of the team's defensive system.
In particular, the new aid Valencia Xia Chuang transferred over, the defensive performance on the right side is very positive.
This Ecuadorian player, who spent £17 million on Ferguson and brought in from Wigan Athletic, used himself to actively run on the field, and had excellent coverage and interception capabilities, and built the first solid defense for Manchester United's right defense. barrier!
On the left, Portuguese winger Nani, who rarely gets a chance to play because of the talents in the frontcourt of Manchester United last season, can be regarded as an ugly wife with the departure of Ronaldo and Tevez. Mother, can be the first choice for Manchester United on the left!
However, among the giants like Manchester United, the most indispensable is the talented players, so Nani still maintained a strong sense of crisis when he did not secure the starting position. In this game involving the championship prize, Nani also wanted to prove to Ferguson his ability and attitude towards the game!
Chelsea’s offensive end, because the team’s overall staff has not changed, with existing players, facing Manchester United, which is also a strong team, cannot implement a dimensionality reduction attack like the weak team. In fact, the offensive tactics are that simple. A few of them!
The left side relies on Malouda and Ashley Cole's double turn, while the right side attack can only rely on the right back Bosingwa who plugs in the attack, and Anelka who came to the right side in a cameo!
However, under the defensive defense of Nani and Valencia, the two full-backs of Manchester United are very fast and flexible, so for Chelsea’s wing attack, face these two men. The first line of defense formed by the two sideways is really not so easy to pass!
And even after passing the first line of defense, Evra on the left and Fabio on the right have excellent defense capabilities.
Valencia and Nani are running desperately, desperately interfering with Chelsea's conduction ball on the wing. For many offensive players, most of the time they don’t spend all their physical stamina on the defense. What position should be done, but because Manchester United itself is at a disadvantage due to the lineup, and Ferguson also Specially emphasized the full defense at the beginning of the game, then Valencia and Nani two players naturally have to work hard to prove themselves, even if all of their physical strength is consumed in such an empty running, the two of them There will be no complaints about the position in the team in the new season!
And Chelsea's two wings, in the hard defense of Manchester United players, really did not create too many opportunities for a while, it is because the players' bodies have not recovered to their best condition. In this abnormal game state, the player's instantaneous explosiveness and overall speed will be greatly affected. Chelsea is on the wing and cannot rely on the player's personal ability to forcibly open the gap!
As the main attack direction of Chelsea later, the center will also need to face the strong resistance of the two Ferguson midfielders, Scholes and Fletcher!
Because Rooney will reclaim a relatively low position in this lineup, and the top forward Berbatov, although he is still "cool" near the midfield, but through his height and leg length, Chelsea's organizing ball at the back of the lineup can also pose a certain threat. When defending, Manchester United, which is close to 451, including Rooney's three midfielders' defense, can indeed ensure that Chelsea cannot easily penetrate the pass!
During the game, Chelsea's main method of shooting is still a direct long shot after a proper angle from the center. Passes from the flank, as well as various through passes in the center, are not threatening. Manchester United is on the defensive end. The performance is extremely good!
This is the Chelsea lineup, the attacking firepower is not as strong as imagined. In a strong matchup, in addition to the threat of set-pieces, Chelsea faces the strict defense of the same giants and the ability to create opportunities is not Excellent!
But in the hands of Ancelotti, there is no big way in terms of offensive players. If Manchester United has maintained such a defensive position, then they can only follow Chelsea’s old path before and forcefully rely on the excellent long shots of several midfielders. Ability to create opportunities for long-range shots, or use set to pry open opponents’ doors!
However, now Chelsea is on the bench and there is an excellent walking player Zhirkov, so Ancelotti, naturally after giving unlimited fire to the center, the focus is on the left side of the attack!
Whether it's Malouda or Ashley Cole, they don't have to spare their stamina. Now on the bench, there is an excellent reserve force to ensure that Chelsea deliberately maintain a fierce left-sided offensive throughout the game!
Chelsea's possession rate has improved a little bit, but Manchester United has turned a blind eye to these. Manchester United only needs to do its own defense. The occasional counterattack has also caused a great threat to Chelsea!
Regarding the prospect of this Community Shield, at the end of the Champions League final, I thought it would be Manchester United wanting to complete the battle of revenge, but now, Manchester United, who is short of soldiers, is surrounded by old opponents violently in the game... …
The entire first half of the game was really boring for the audience!
Chelsea has gained a lot of control, but in terms of organizing offense, there are not many excellent offensive tactics to speak of. In the case that the team's offense cannot be fully opened, Manchester United's defense line shrinks and shrinks, and the defense is more confident!
Chelsea hit 13 feet at the end of the half, and 11 of them were direct long-range shots from the outside, but except for the 3-foot shot that threatened Ben Foster, the rest of the shots either missed the shot or hit a dense defender in the penalty area. Bounce off the body!
The midfielder can still control the ball and try to find a chance, but Yang Feng and Terry's center back line is a bit boring to stay behind. Because of Manchester United’s several counterattacks, Yang Feng took the lead in reacting, chasing the position, and completing the defense. On the other side, Terry wanted to compete with Yang Feng for a defensive opportunity. He was at an absolute disadvantage. The whole person stood in the middle. Near the field, the body is about to rust. Half-time running distance, except for the goalkeeper, Chelsea is Terry's "laziest"!
Due to the Community Shield Cup competition system, there is no overtime for a tie, and it goes directly to the penalty shootout!
So Chelsea, who clearly has an absolute advantage on the scene, don't want Manchester United to drag the 0-0 score to play a penalty shootout!
Ancelotti has no plans to change at the beginning of the second half for the time being, but for Malouda on the left, Ancelotti also gave enough tactical requirements to allow Malouda to enjoy himself within 20 minutes of the start of the second half. Galloping on the left, don't worry about whether there will be a mistake, it must be with the cooperation of Ashley Cole and Chelsea's other midfielders to pose a large enough threat and consumption to Manchester United's right defense! For Zhirkov's next appearance, he will accumulate enough physical advantage!
In the second half, Chelsea changed sides and fought again. Chelsea started on the left, frantically launching an offensive. Even if Manchester United’s defense has shifted to the right as a whole, Chelsea was "reckless" and failed, regardless of the right side being released. It was on the left. Lu continuously launched an offensive!
Malouda and Ashley Cole took turns to attack Manchester United's sideline defense. Especially Malouda, tirelessly accelerating on the left, and then accelerating, causing great physical exhaustion to Valencia and Fabio on the side of Manchester United!
As for Chelsea’s idea, how could Ferguson, who has been fighting in the Premier League for many years and has completely evolved into the "old fox", failed to discover it?
However, for Chelsea's offense, Ferguson may not have too many corresponding cards in his hand, which can effectively maintain the defensive strength of the right side!
The countermeasure Ferguson thinks about is very simple. You fight you and I fight mine. You know, after all, Manchester United is still an offensive team. The defense in the first half of the game is due to the temporary strength of the team's lineup. The best choice at the time! But in the final stages of the game, Manchester United does not have to hold a tie.
A Champion of the Community Shield Cup is nothing more than that, and it will not make Manchester United so embarrassed!
Chelsea’s attack on the left has not yet reached the final stage. Manchester United took the lead in making substitution adjustments in 55 minutes. Giggs went into battle and replaced Nani, who performed well on the defensive end. !
After that, Manchester United completed the switch between offensive and defensive ends in an instant, began to actively press high, pass the ball more boldly, and began to invest more people on the offensive end to complete the team's offensive cooperation!
For a time, the two teams began to fight against each other, and Chelsea's defense began to be beaten into several dangerous attacks by Manchester United!
Yang Feng and Terry suddenly became busy, especially Berbatov and Rooney. They began to press on at the same time. Manchester United's formation began to change to the team's normal offensive formation!
Rooney and Berbatov’s double forwards, although they are very good at headers, they are not the kind of forward players who rely solely on their bodies to feed themselves. Although both have good physical abilities, they rely more on it. Running, relying on technology, relying on their excellent ability to hit the door!
So when the two of them, with the passing of other Manchester United teammates, began to perform frequent shifts, it did bring a lot of pressure to Yang Feng and Terry!
Although this pressure is not as heavy as the pressure brought by Cristiano Ronaldo in the Champions League final, whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Carlos Tevez, who plays the forward position, his personal ability is strong and his physique is true. Zhuang, however, both of them are players who are willing to end directly at the forward position!
And now Rooney and Berbatov may be due to the retention of the previous playing habits. Although both of them have excellent shooting skills, they are better than Ronaldo and Tevez in sharing the ball unselfishly. Do better!
The sharing of the ball between the two forwards made Yang Feng even more difficult defensively!
In some specific receiving positions, Yang Feng needs to judge for himself whether to block the shooting angle or the possible passing angle...
Fortunately, Chelsea's line of defense, but it was made with real swords and guns. He has won the Champions League and seen blood!
Years of cooperation, after a short period of adjustment, Chelsea's defense has shown its strength! Even if Manchester United began to attack ~EbookFREE.me~, but Chelsea ensured that their attack and the threat of counterattack, the solidity of the defense still remained!
In Valencia's previous defensive end consumption, unable to support too many offensive situations on the right, Giggs and Evra on the left have become Manchester United's main attacking direction.
In the initial defensive line, after being hurriedly beaten by Manchester United's sudden counterattack, Chelsea began to focus on containing Manchester United's left attack!
The two sides attacked and defended back and forth very quickly, it is very likely that within 90 minutes, the attitude of the game will be resolved!
On Chelsea's side, the first substitution was the new aid Zhirkov, who replaced Malouda to continue to strengthen Chelsea's left offensive vitality!
Facts have proved that Ancelotti's substitution choice was very timely, and the entire tactical purpose was successfully achieved in the end!
In the 74th minute of the game, it was Zhirkov's forcible breakthrough on the left, wading through Valencia's defense, creating an excellent opportunity for a pass from the left!
In the Manchester United penalty area, Drogba plugged in from behind, beat O'Shea, and slammed his head to attack the goal. Chelsea took the lead!
After taking the lead, Chelsea immediately turned to the defensive in the subsequent games and began to play in their own way, defending!
On the offensive end, Manchester United has fallen by more than one grade. Facing Chelsea’s copper wall and iron wall, there is really no way this time. In the end, they can only silently choose to launch a strong attack, hoping to vigorously perform miracles. However, this game is doomed to not A miracle happened!
In the end, Chelsea won the first championship of the new season with a score of 1-0 with Drogba's goal!
The Chelsea team won the Community Shield, and after that, they will officially start a new journey in the Premier League!
