Vol 3 Chapter 19: Trophy 1

After leaving the hospital, Wan Sheng returned to the club to continue working. Even if the team is not in training, he still has a lot of work to do. The most important thing at present is to prepare for the community shield cup game.
The Community Shield Cup, formerly known as the Charity Shield, the first game was held in 1908-09, replacing the County of London Charity Shield that started earlier than 1898-99 (although this competition was held two times later and coincided with the Charity Shield appear). The early game maintained the form of the London Sheriff ’s Charity Shield from professional teams to amateur teams (traditionally against the gentleman and the Pokémon), and the first game was from Manchester United (professional league champion) to Queens Park Rangers (amateur southern league champion ), Tied 1-1 in the first game, Manchester United regained 4-0, both games were played at Stamford Bridge Stadium, and since then Charity Shield has not taken a rematch to decide the outcome.
At that time, the game was not paid much attention. At the end of the season, the game was often mixed up, and eventually the professional team was replaced by the amateur team, but there was no fixed form to choose the team. For example, in 1950-51, the England national team The FA team that is about to visit Canada, and the venue of the competition also changes frequently.
It wasn't until 1959 that the FA determined that the game time would be August at the beginning of the season.
In 1974, the FA Cup secretary song was added to the game. The first league match against the FA Cup leader was held at the National Stadium (Wembley Stadium) as the opener of the new season. The tickets are all for charitable purposes and donations. Designated by the two sides of the match, from 1974 to 2000, a total of more than 5 million pounds were raised.
The format of the game is currently a decisive victory. A tie will result in a penalty shoot-out, but the tie will be tied between 1975 and 1993. If the two sides draw in 90 minutes, they will jointly win the championship and retain the charity shield trophy 6 months.
In 1993, the penalty shootout was reactivated and Manchester United won by a penalty kick after a tie with Arsenal.
With the establishment of the Super League in 1992-93, the Charity Shield team was logically changed from the Super League champion to the FA Cup leader. In 2002, the Charity Shield was renamed the Community Shield Cup.
Derbyshire was the FA Cup champion last season, and their opponent was last season's Super League champion Arsenal. This is a belated match between the two teams, because the two teams have just played in the first round of the league.
Normally, the time of the Community Shield Cup should be before the first round of the league, but because Wembley Stadium has been under renovation in recent years, it is impossible to hold large-scale events, and the venue can only be set at Cardiff Millennium Stadium in Wales, so The game was postponed until August 20.
The confrontation between Derby County and Arsenal at the Millennium Stadium is still very eye-catching. The Community Shield Cup itself is nothing. Fans are more concerned about the fact that Derby County beat Arsenal in the league. Then in the Community Shield Cup, Can Derbyshire maintain its excellent form and once again defeat defending champion Arsenal?
This is a concern for many fans.
Therefore, this community shield cup competition has attracted the attention of many fans. Many foreign fans who do not know Derbyshire have noticed the game. Many English fans are very concerned about the game.
This kind of game is much more concerned than the first round at Highbury Stadium. Although it is not as good as the FA Cup final at the end of last season, it is also the first trophy of the season. Wan Sheng also He hoped to get this trophy, he told the players must not carelessly, in the game, they must stabilize their mentality.
Soon as the two teams came to Cardiff, the match officially started the next afternoon.
The victory over Arsenal in the league Derby County obviously made Arsenal pay more attention to Derby County. They no longer have any lightheartedness. Instead, they regarded Derby County as a real serious opponent. The same is true of Derby County. For a trophy, Derbyshire has never received a community shield since its history. They even participated only once. They still wanted to take the trophy competition back.
But the game is different from what was imagined, this Derby County played very difficult.
Arsenal obviously learned the lessons of the last confrontation. They have been tightly defended from the beginning. Although they have always been good at offense, they can do well when they are solidly defending. In the face of this, they do not follow the routine. Card, suddenly Arsenal focused on defense, Derby County players are somewhat uncomfortable, they have been trying to attack in the first half, but the only two good chances have been missed, fortunately the team The defense also did well, and as a result neither team scored in the first half.
After seeing Arsenal's play, Wan Sheng also had to scold Wenger in his heart that "old tyrannical cunning", if it is a normal attack, Derbyshire is not afraid of Arsenal, and the two sides will be equal to fifty five. There is still some confidence in this victory, but after Arsenal strengthened their defense, it was very difficult for the team to find opportunities through normal offense.
Although the team's tactics are okay, the player's personal ability is still some. The offensive ability of the team can play. It takes some luck to break the solid defense and score the ball.
So in order to be more stable and to win, Wan Sheng asked the team to change its strategy during the halftime break and focus on the defense.
In this way, one can imagine the second half of the game.
Many fans had expected this to be a wonderful match, but the two teams that were good at attacking chose a solid defense in the second half. As a result, the game looked drowsy, but the coaches of the two teams They all sat steadily on the coach's seat and didn't change their style of play at all.
"This game ... is really boring ..." Many commentators are expressing similar meaning.
But their statement will not have any impact on the two teams' play and the situation on the court. In such a boring game, neither team scored in the second half.
The game entered overtime.
In the 30 minutes of overtime, both teams are still the same. They are defending firmly. The first priority is to ensure that the goal is not lost, and the second is to strengthen the offense. Both sides can't find much chance at all. Arsenal's defense, Derby After the county shrank the defense, the defense was also solid.
But in the 27th minute of overtime, the game finally turned.
This is a controversial penalty in front of Arsenal.
Van der Vaart received a pass from Morris and wanted to complete a shot with his head. At this time, he was squeezed by the opposing center defender Campbell and fell directly to the ground. The referee stepped forward and pointed directly to the penalty spot.
Penalties!
With less than three minutes left in overtime, the referee awarded Derby County a penalty, which means that anyone knows well. If Derby County seizes the opportunity to score the ball, then they are almost equal to a direct win. The game.
Under everyone's attention, Morris did not disappoint the trust of Derby County fans and teammates. He sent the ball firmly into the right corner of the goal and helped Derby County lead Arsenal 1: 0 with a penalty kick.
This goal almost made Arsenal desperate.
This is the last time of the game, and there are only a few three minutes before the whole game will end. Arsenal coach Wenger argued loudly with the fourth official on the sidelines. He even scolded the referee on the court. Fortunately, the referee may also You know, the penalty just now was a bit serious, and Wenger was ignored.
But in any case, Arsenal is behind. When all overtime is over and the referee sounds the end of the game, the score on the court is 1: 0, which means that Derby County defeated Arsenal and got a new The first trophy of the season.
"Champions! We are champions!"
After the game, the stadium in Derbyshire cheered with a trophy.
In contrast, Arsenal are naturally very dissatisfied. After the game, their players are still entangled with the referee trying to say something. At the post-match press conference, Wenger also angered that this is a referee's decision to win or lose '' S game ', but this does not help, after all, no matter what you say after the game, you can not change the result of the game, the community shield trophy already belongs to Derbyshire.
After the game, the media also asked Wan Sheng about the penalty penalty. Wan Sheng said, "I don't think this is a game where the referee decided to win or lose. At that time, Raphael fell down and you can see, He has physical contact with Campbell, it is not clear whether there is a fierce physical collision, this is a ball that can be judged, but if you do not make a penalty, it is unfair to us. Arsenal will definitely not Will say so now ... "
Wan Sheng didn't refute anything, but stated in fact.
This is the case in the professional arena, some of the ball can be judged or not, it all depends on the meaning of the referee, like this ball gets to other leagues, 80% of the ball may be directly a penalty, and in England, there are also five The probability of success depends on the opinion of the referee, but it is definitely unfair to Derbyshire to not make a penalty, so there is nothing to say about the game itself.
In the end, Derby County got the Community Shield ~ EbookFREE.me ~ As for Arsenal, it does n’t matter what they say and how they say it, because what they do ca n’t change the outcome.
Wan Sheng wouldn't spend his thoughts on sympathizing with his opponent.
It felt good to get the first trophy at the beginning of the season. After returning from the Millennium Stadium, Derbyshire took the community shield silver disc trophy back to the club. The club and fans celebrated that night, but it was only a small one. Celebration, after all, the Community Shield is not a heavyweight trophy. Derby County fans are more happy to see the team beat Arsenal again, which proves the strength of the team and also makes them look forward to the new season.
However, the results of the third round of the league, but let Derbyshire fans slightly disappointed.
This is the first home game in Derbyshire and the opponent is Aston Villa.
Originally, fans thought that Derby County could kill Arsenal in two battles. Aston Villa should win in the league, but in the end Derby County only played 0: 0 with Aston Villa. The county achieved repression, but until the end of the game, Derby County did not score a goal, Aston Villa with a solid defense to keep the goal. r1152
