Chapter 552 Community Shield Cup
The match between Barcelona and Millwall ended, and the two sides fought [-]-[-]. At the end of the game, it was completely a performance. The result of the draw was not bad, but the moods of the two sides were different.

The Millwall players were all in a good mood. They felt that the game was played smoothly, but the result was actually not important, because they didn't play seriously in the following games.

The game also gave Millwall confidence.

Barcelona is the top giants in Europe, but they used the new tactics and played without difficulty. They scored two goals in the first half and gained the upper hand.

After the game, many players were also discussing new tactics. Most players had confidence in Zhang Yang's tactics, but they didn't know the real effect if they didn't actually use it. Now it seems that the effect is really good.

Zhang Yang's view is very general.

The overall performance of the team was not bad, but the first half played smoothly because Barcelona did not pay too much attention to the game. In addition, Barcelona's performance was not very good. Ronaldinho did not show his strength. The memory of his previous life He also let him know that Barcelona in the new season is not a strong team, and there will be many problems in the team. After that, Ronaldinho will leave, and the head coach Frank Rijkaard can only leave sadly.

In the memory of the previous life, it developed like this.

Don't know now.

After watching Barcelona's performance, Zhang Yang felt that there would not be much change. Barcelona could only remember worse than his previous life, because he also helped Arsenal win the championship that should have belonged to Barcelona.

Rijkaard did not win the Champions League for Barcelona, ​​how many players and fans would be reluctant to leave him?
Of course, these have nothing to do with Zhang Yang.

This game can be said to be a complete victory. First of all, it won the victory of public opinion. Millwall performed very well, especially in the most important first half. It seems that Barcelona is not Millwall's opponent.

This impression matters.

The situation in the second half doesn't matter. Substantial substitutions and adjustments are obviously not serious. The outcome of a warm-up is meaningless.

The same is true for the reports of the Chinese media after the game. When they talked about the score, they said that the two sides were "drawn". However, most of the analysis reports were about Millwall, including Millwall players. been mentioned continuously.

Zhang Yang is the most frequently mentioned.

The most frequently reported sentence in the media is, "Millwall created by Zhang Yang is more competitive than last season!"

"In the new season, we can look forward to Zhang Yang continuing to lead Millwall to achieve good results!"

----

After the match against Barcelona, ​​Millwall carried out some activities, such as the meeting between players and fans, and a public press conference. The sponsor also organized players to walk into the primary school campus to teach children to play football together.

In Zhang Yang's view, most of the elements are for show, but it is interesting for the players to guide the children to play football in English. It is very funny to watch them struggling to interact with the children one by one.

Perhaps the children who were "interacted" were also in a good mood, and taking pictures with the stars can also be hung on the bedside as a memory.

of course there are exceptions.

Wes Morgan scared the kids to tears.

Wes-Morgan's dark skin, paired with some fierce eyes, coupled with a big appearance, is really not in line with the aesthetics of children. The person interacting with him is a little girl, and the little girl dare not talk to Morgan , the few English words learned came out, and Morgan just kept asking, "What? What?"

Then the girl cried.

The teammate next to him laughed. Morgan looked at his teammate innocently. He had no experience in coaxing children, so he didn't know what to do. Zhang Yang walked over and coaxed and persuaded the girl for a long time before letting the girl stop. There was a cry.

Next, Millwall participated in several activities arranged by the sponsor. The whole morning passed quickly, and all the staff returned to the hotel to rest. In the evening, they packed up and went to the airport.

They are going back to London on an evening flight.

After returning to London, the team took a day off to let the players rest for an extra day. When the holiday returned, the team's final intense preparations began.

----

There is still less than a week before the start of the season, and the media has already looked forward to the new season. Various reports of preparations have been published one after another, and the analysis articles of each team are also dazzling.

The media is still generally optimistic about three teams, one is Manchester United, one is Liverpool, and the other is Millwall.

Manchester United are the favourites.

Some media said last season that Manchester United has entered a mature stage, and the young players have all grown up.

Even more so now.

C-Ronaldo is considered to be the top star, and he is already recognized as Manchester United's number one star.

In the summer, Manchester United spent a lot of money to supplement the lineup, buying Nani, Anderson and Hargreaves one after another. The three players spent more than 7000 million euros.

At the same time, the Manchester United striker also added Carlos Tevez.

Carlos Tevez joined West Ham United last season, which was operated by the MSI investment group behind him. He and Mascherano packaged into West Ham United, but the dispute over its ownership caused West Ham United to be fined 550 pounds.

After Tevez joined West Ham United, his performance was not optimistic. Perhaps because of the trust of the head coach, he could only act as a substitute player, but West Ham United Club was dissatisfied with the results. Reuse, at the end of the season, his performance was very crazy. In the last 10 rounds of the Premier League, Tevez contributed seven goals and five assists, which immediately attracted the attention of the major giants.

Manchester United coach Ferguson was moved.

Since Van Nistelrooy left, Manchester United's striker has not been optimistic. Rooney alone can't drive it. Others, such as Saha and Alan Smith, have performed somewhat disappointingly. Manchester United urgently needs to introduce a striker who can score goals. .

For Manchester United, it is easy to win a Carlos Tevez.

However, the transfer of Tevez is still very complicated because there are still disputes over his ownership. Only part of the ownership of Weiss is in West Ham United, they did not fully buy Tevez.

West Ham have again been hit with a hefty fine for 'playing players in Premier League games without buying full ownership'.

This is pretty serious.

The Football Association stipulates that the ownership rights of Premier League players must be in the club, or they can be bought out or leased. If there is only a part of the ownership rights and it is not completely leased, it is equivalent to an investment, not a purchase. Players, such players are not eligible to play in the Premier League.

So West Ham United received a heavy fine of 1500 million pounds.

Such a heavy amount is based on Tevez's worth. Tevez didn't have a big list in Europe before, but he is an Argentine national team player. West Ham United did not pay Tevez's worth in full because of the MSI Group. The quotation is too high.

In the summer, "French Football" assessed Tevez's worth at about 2000 million pounds, and the FA's fine was entirely for West Ham's "unpaid part of the money".

In addition, West Ham also relied on Tevez's crazy performance to successfully complete the difficult relegation, and other relegated teams must not be satisfied.

This money can also be used to compensate the relegated teams to a certain extent.

Such a complicated ownership behind Tevez also makes Manchester United feel a big head.

In the end, they reached a lease agreement with MSI Group and Brazil Corinthians Club-Tevez was leased for two years. Within two years, Manchester United has the right to buy out directly.

Manchester United paid nearly 1000 million pounds for this loan agreement, not including the salary paid to Carlos Tevez.

To some extent, Carlos Tevez can also be regarded as a transfer to Manchester United.

Manchester United is equal to the introduction of four heavyweight stars: Tevez, Nani, Anderson and Hargreaves.

Such crazy signings have also greatly increased Manchester United's strength.

The British media believes that Manchester United already has the strength to compete for the championship with the original team, and after making generous supplements, they already have a "championship appearance" and are the team most likely to win the championship.

The second team to have a 'championship face' is Liverpool.

In the summer, the second most attractive transfer was in Liverpool, that is, the joining of Spain's "golden boy" Torres. The transfer fee of 4000 million euros created the highest transfer income in Atletico Madrid's history and also refreshed the highest in Liverpool's history. transfer value.

In addition to the heavyweight Torres, Liverpool also spent 1700 million pounds to introduce Ajax talented striker Babel, and spent 1200 million pounds to introduce Brazilian genius midfielder Lucas.

Others also use Amo, Benayoun, Leto, Pacheco and other stars.

Putting it all together, Liverpool's transfer expenditure is even more than Manchester United's big money.

As the defending champion, Millwall is ranked third. Millwall's transfer expenditure is not much. The main signings are only Sneijder, Luca Tony, Maxi Rodriguez and Suarez.

These players are all 'low-priced players'. Among them, Sneijder is relatively well-known, but he has only participated in the Eredivisie League. Maxi is the main winger of Atletico Madrid, but he is also a 'half' blue-collar player.

Luca Toni is considered a blue-collar striker because he has no experience playing for giants.

Suarez, simply can't understand.

Why did Millwall spend a lot of money to buy a Uruguayan player who only played for one season in the Eredivisie or played for a small club?
Millwall is ranked third because of last season's performance, Millwall almost swept the Premier League, and won the Champions League, won the 'Triple Crown' title, but a minus point is that they sold Head shooter Darren Bent.

The main shooter is gone, what else can we expect?

If you count the income from selling Darren Bent, Davis and other players, Millwall has hardly made any transfer investment. In the eyes of the public, it means that its strength has not improved.

So Millwall can only rank third.

In the past few seasons, Chelsea, which has been the focus of attention, has tragically dropped off the list. Chelsea is similar to Millwall. They sold Robben and Johnson, and their income was as high as 4250 million pounds. The transfer investment only bought Malouda. , Belletti, cost only 2550 million pounds.

Chelsea netted £1700 million!
This is the first time in several seasons that Chelsea does not seem to have any desire to buy stars, which makes the European media feel a little helpless, because they have nothing to report about Chelsea, and the transfer market seems to have become much more harmonious.

The reason why the media is not optimistic about Chelsea lies in the departure of coach Mourinho.

Mourinho's departure is not a big problem, especially for a team like Chelsea, where the role of the head coach is not so prominent. With a large number of stars, it seems that finding a coach to lead the team can achieve good results.

but……

Then there must be a coach!

So far, Chelsea's head coach position has not yet been settled, because the big-name European coaches are all staying in their posts, and they cannot invite suitable coaches.

The new season is about to start, and there is no head coach yet, which is really a bit incomprehensible.

Is Chelsea going to run naked?
In Millwall's first game, they encountered Chelsea like this.

----

The first project of the new season is the Community Shield. In the past two seasons, due to conflicts in game time, the Community Shield was placed after the second league game. This season there is no such problem. The Community Shield can be played normally .

On August [-]th, the Community Shield Cup officially started, and the two sides were Millwall and Chelsea.

Millwall were league champions last season.

Chelsea are the FA Cup winners.

Millwall and Chelsea compete for the Community Shield, which seems a bit tiresome to watch, because last season was a match between the two teams. At that time, Millwall defeated Chelsea led by Mourinho and won the Community Shield.

It's still a match between the two teams.

Millwall came to Wembley Stadium with the title of 'Triple Crown', and Chelsea received more attention because their coach has landed.

This mysterious coach is Grant from Israel.

Grant?
Who is Grant! ?

When the media learned of the name, most of them looked blank, and then checked the information to find out about Grant. Grant is a 52-year-old Israeli coach who has served as the head of the football department in Portsmouth for a season. The old coach Redknapp has cooperated.

Later, Grant got to know Abramovich. With his rich knowledge of football theory, he conquered the Russians and jumped to become the head of Chelsea's football department.

Grant only served as the head of the football department for more than two years. When the club couldn't find a suitable head coach for a long time, he stepped in and acted as a 'firefighting coach'.

Chelsea have not yet issued an official statement, but it is certain that Grant will serve as the team's head coach temporarily until the new coach takes office.

Now Grant leads Chelsea to face the 'mortal enemy' Millwall.
