Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

After playing Blackpool, Manchester City fans set their sights on the Community Shield final that is coming soon!

Manchester City vs. Leicester City!

Last season, the two teams played against each other twice, both home and away in the league.

In the first game, Vardy made two penalties and a hat trick, and Leicester City won 5-2 away from home against Manchester City.

After returning to the King Power Stadium, Leicester City lost to Manchester City 0-2.

Both teams had their wins and losses.

It is conceivable that this Community Shield game will not be a game where Manchester City is suppressing the opponent as the outside media and fans say.

At least Leicester City has proved that they can beat Manchester City! They have the strength to win!

However, after watching Manchester City's two pre-season games, Rogers was very worried.

In terms of offensive ability, Rogers does not think that his disciples will be worse than Manchester City. Vardy, Maddison and Perez are all very strong attackers.

He is worried that he has not found a good way to limit Manchester City's midfielders, especially Chen Chen!

One De Bruyne is tough enough, and here comes another!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the pre-match press conference the day before the Community Shield final.

At the meeting, Foxes coach Rogers said,

"Manchester City has many outstanding players! This game is not easy for us."

"But we will win the Community Shield, and we will show our best!"

"How do you evaluate Chen Chen? He is a football genius. Of course, I don't mind letting geniuses taste failure."

Vardy, who attended the pre-match press conference with Rogers, said,

"I admire Chen Chen very much, and I am very pleased that he can help the national team win the European Championship, but it's a pity that I'm not here, hahahaha!"

Vardy's performance last season was pretty good, ranking seventh in the league scorer list, but Southgate did not choose to bring him.

Because England has too many strikers to choose from.

"The winner of the game? No doubt, it must be us!"

"The team's cooperation is very good. I believe that at Wembley Stadium, we (Leicester City) will have a very wonderful journey to win the championship!"

Guardiola, who attended the pre-match press conference, chose to bring Gundogan with him.

Guardiola said that he did not care much about the Community Shield championship. His main goal was to win the Premier League championship in the new season.

Of course, no one would complain that they had few championships. At the last stage of the press conference, Guardiola also stated that the Community Shield championship would belong to Etihad!

Gundogan was even more straightforward.

The German midfielder boldly opened the microphone and said that starting from the Community Shield, the Blue Fox Leicester City would not win any game against Manchester City!

This is much crazier than the declaration of winning the championship in the new season!

And these remarks also greatly mobilized the fans' desire to watch the game!

August 8.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon local time in London.

The buses of both sides arrived at Wembley Stadium one after another.

Chen Chen and Yaozi are very familiar with this place.

After all, it was here that they won the European Cup a month ago!

Sterling hooked Cancelo's shoulder and vividly told the Portuguese about his journey to win the championship, without considering the pain of Cancelo's early elimination...

At the pre-match press conference the day before, the two teams drew the right to use the home and guest locker rooms in Wembley Stadium today.

Manchester City drew the home team.

They will play in sky blue home jerseys.

Leicester City's jerseys are also blue, and the home and away jerseys are the same.

In order to avoid confusion, the English Football Association asked them to wear the third away jersey, which is black but the cuffs and collar are navy blue.

This is designed for them by Adidas.

Adidas has been madly pursuing Chen Chen recently, and they have pushed up the annual endorsement fee to 17.6 million euros.

The English and Chinese markets behind Chen Chen are very attractive to Adidas, and they have conducted investigations and market evidence collection.

The management believes that they can compete.

However, Chen Chen has been very close to Puma recently.

Puma is the sponsor of Manchester City's jerseys, and this wave of contact can be said to be the first to get the moon.

And it is worth noting that Adidas and Nike have Messi and Ronaldo, but Puma does not.

In other words, Puma now wants to bet on Chen Chen.

The Sun revealed that Puma offered a very sincere price that would exceed the imagination of countless people!

They also said that if the contract is really successful, Chen Chen will directly surpass Mbappe and Haaland, and sit firmly in the third place in the world in terms of value and commercial contract endorsements!

Guardiola got off the bus first.

The Manchester City fans waiting on both sides were instantly excited and cheered!

Of course, the cheers after Chen Chen got off the bus were the loudest.

Chen Chen is a Chinese-British hybrid. His face has an exotic handsomeness, and the English are very fond of his looks.

In the "Top Ten Most Handsome Football Players in England" of The Sun, Chen Chen ranked second.

The first is Beckham.

There is no way, Beckham is really too popular!

After Chen Chen got off the bus, fans on both sides held out their jerseys or scarves and asked Chen Chen to sign.

Chen Chen wanted to sign, but the team staff stopped him.

With so many people, I was afraid of some security accidents.

So Chen Chen greeted the fans and then followed his teammates into the player tunnel.

Soon, the Blue Moon players changed their training clothes in the locker room, and everyone stepped onto the court to warm up before the game.

In today's game, Manchester City's players were still quite relaxed, while Leicester City on the other side seemed a little serious.

As more and more fans entered the stadium, the two teams also ended their respective field training.

In the player tunnel, Chen Chen saw Vardy chatting with Kyle Walker and Stones.

Then Chen Chen walked over and shook hands with Vardy and hugged him to say hello.

Vardy can be said to be a typical inspirational figure. The year when the Blue Fox won the championship was also very legendary.

It is worth mentioning that Vardy's teammate Mahrez who won the championship that year is now in Manchester City.

Vardy, Kyle Walker and Stones were teammates in the national team. Everyone is familiar with each other. The topic they talked about was this European Cup journey.

Seeing Chen Chen join the chat, several people talked about Chen Chen's performance.

In the end, Vardy smiled and asked Chen Chen to be gentle.

For Vardy, it is a pity that he did not win a major championship in the national team.

When he was in the national team, he lacked a Chen Chen who was good at offensive organization and connection.

Ali and Lingard are really not as strong as Chen Chen now.

After returning to the locker room, Guardiola saw that everyone had come in, so he began to make detailed arrangements and adjustments for today's game.

After finishing the arrangements, Guardiola looked at all the players on the field, clapped his hands, and attracted everyone's attention.

"This is our first game of the new season!"

"In the new season, we must get all the championship trophies we can get! Today is the first championship game!"

"Use this Community Shield trophy to announce the start of the new season! Do you have confidence!"

All the players said in unison,

"Yes!"

Guardiola nodded and continued,

"We are a team. When we are on the court, we must pay attention to the coordination between the positions."

"Don't give the opponent any chance!"

Guardiola clapped his hands again,

"Come on! Boys!"
