Super Marshal

After all, it was the last game before the new season, and it was the Community Shield. So Chelsea also ranked the main lineup in this game. Scolari changed his previous four-three-three play and changed into a four-four-two formation.

The goalkeeper is Hilario, the defenders are Ashley Cole, Terry, Ivanovic and Ferreira, and the midfielders are Malouda, Essien, Mikel and Lampard. The double striker is Robinho's partner Drogba.

Alpine's game also used the main force to play, and formed a three-four-three formation.

The goalkeeper is Cech, the defenders are Kompany, Xavi Martinez and Mascherano, midfielder Xavi Alonso is behind, David Silva and Modric are in the center, and the card is In front of the card, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Sanchez are the front trident.

This is also the main lineup that Gao Han has in mind.

The two sides played too many games last season and both knew each other well. After the game started, there was not much temptation and went directly into a fast-paced offensive and defensive battle. Chelsea were not to be outdone, and the two sides fought very fiercely in the midfield.

The first threatening offense of this game was born in the fourth minute. Benzema suddenly succeeded in stealing the ball and caught Chelsea by surprise. At the same time, it also made the surrounding teammates too late to react. He passed from the top to the left and Cristiano. Ronaldo followed up with a shot, but was stopped by goalkeeper Hilario.

This time the offense was so sudden that the Portuguese did not have time to prepare.

The game started to be controlled at the feet of Manchester City, especially the pass and control of the midfield. Chelsea was a little passive on the scene.

In the eighth minute, Manchester City attacked from the right. After Sanchez took the ball on the right, he threw away Ashley Cole and made a pass, but Kaka who followed in the middle made a volley and failed to hold down the ball. Kicked away.

But after Manchester City attacked for ten minutes, Chelsea also quickly seized the opportunity to fight back.

Mascherano made a pass to his teammate and missed the ball. Chelsea seized the opportunity. Drogba made a straight pass behind him. Robinho quickly countered after receiving the ball. Harvey Martinez pressed forward every step of the way. , Hurriedly took a long-range volley, but the ball was easily obtained by Cech, and Chelsea's first attack came to an end.

Due to the warm-up nature of the game, both sides played very unrestrainedly and did not keep their hands at all. Chelsea played against each other, but they failed to create excellent attack opportunities and lacked threats in front of the goal.

Finally in the 19th minute of the game, Harvey Alonso made a precise long pass and gave it to the frontcourt. After Benzemaa went to the right to receive the long pass from his teammate, he forced the ball to break through Terry. The flat ball was passed to the penalty area, and Kaka from the back row made a push to send the ball to the bottom of the goal net, one to zero.

This goal also opened up the momentum of Manchester City's attack.

Only three minutes later, Manchester City succeeded in stealing the ball again. Sanchez sent a precise cross from the right and sent the ball to the penalty spot. Cristiano Ronaldo made a direct kick without marking. But hit the left column and bounced back to the penalty area.

After a while of chaos, Ivanovic was the first to clear the siege with a big foot, destroying an attack by Manchester City.

But when the game went to the 29th minute, Manchester City once again played a sharp attack. Sanchez on the right side faced the double-teaming of Ashley Cole and Malouda, and he just took the ball from the gap. Out, a cross from the right side of the penalty area to the back point, Cristiano Ronaldo calmly seized the opportunity this time, leaped high, hit the header, two to zero.

Just two minutes later, Modric sent a precise through pass from the middle, Sanchez Gao obliquely inserted into the penalty area from the right, after receiving the ball, he formed a single shot, but the last push was saved by goalkeeper Hilario.

After that, the two sides continued to fight against each other. Manchester City relied on the advantage of passing and controlling the ball to create more and more threatening attack opportunities. However, Chelsea also performed very tenaciously. Although they were two goals behind, they were not discouraged at all. The team played fiercely.

Until the end of the first half, Manchester City made another move. Benzema received a pass from Kaka, forcibly broke through the defense of Ivanovic and Terry, broke into the penalty area, and faced the goalkeeper. Shot, once again broke Chelsea's goal, three to zero.

After scoring three goals, Manchester City played a smooth offense in the first half, and let everyone see with their own eyes that the Alpine team is continuing the amazing performance of the second half of last season.

But Gao Han is very clear about this.

The main reason why the first half of this game was able to play so smoothly was that Chelsea was not conservative in playing, and the two midfielders arranged by Scolari, Mikel and Essien, were behind in the double Some of the waist position is not strong enough.

Therefore, Gao Han is very doubtful whether Scolari will really use 442 as Chelsea's main formation?

In the second half, Manchester City had three goals in hand. It can be said that they are in their hands. Gao Han also replaced four substitutions in one go, replacing Cristiano Ronaldo, Sanchez, Kaka and Modric. Replaced by Gareth Bale, Sturridge, Adam Lallana and Milner.

The purpose of Gao Han's substitution is very clear, that is, to use Chelsea to run the team with these new players, especially the players in the midfield. Gao Han wants to see how they can play against Chelsea.

Although he has fallen behind by three goals, Scolari obviously has not given up the fight for the Community Shield. He did not make a significant substitution like Gao Han, but continued to play in the main lineup and increased his offensive efforts in the second half. .

After this made Manchester City into trouble for a while, Alpine even had to use defensive cards and confrontation cards to stabilize the team's defensive position, but even so, Chelsea still had the advantage on the field in the second half.

Until the 65th minute, Gao Han used two substitutions again, replacing Kompany with Vertonghen and Xavi Alonso with Sabaletta.

But less than two minutes after this change, Chelsea also made a substitution. Falcao replaced Drogba. The team also changed four or three again. Falcao became a single striker, Robinho. Separated from Arshavin, Malouda, Essien and Lampard form three midfielders.

As a result, less than a minute after Falcao came on the field, Essien intercepted the ball in the middle and sent a fatal through. Falcao succeeded in offside and scored a single goal, scoring Cech's goal and regaining Chelsea's goal. ball.

After recovering a goal, Chelsea's morale boosted and began a fierce offensive against Manchester City. Falcao soon received a pass from Arshavin from the right in the 85th minute and took the ball from the front of the small penalty area. Pushed, scored again, and rewritten the score to three to two.

After scoring two goals in a row, the Blues' morale was like a rainbow, and they had a good stance to tie the score, but Manchester City also quickly played a wave of counterattacks, especially with the blessing of the alpine skill card, Sturridge took the ball from the right. Inside cut, a volley hit the crossbar, making Chelsea startled in a cold sweat.

After the two sides entered a stalemate, no one was able to score again.

In the end, Manchester City beat Chelsea in a thrilling score of 3 to 2 and won the Community Shield.

This is also the first Community Shield Cup champion since Gao Han's coaching career.

But Manchester City also exposed a lot of problems in the game. For example, the bench lineup was not strong enough, and several new players did not show convincing performance, even in the second half of last season at Tottenham. Gareth Bale who shines.

In the second half of this game, Alpine consciously asked Harvey Alonso to retreat the overall formation, mainly focusing on the center line, the purpose is to play Gareth Bale and Sturridge on the two wings. impact.

But on the one hand, Chelsea did a good job of pressing and pressing, and on the other hand, the players were not skilled enough with each other. As a result, Gareth Bale did not play well on the left. On the contrary, Sturridge on the right performed several attacks. Not bad.

As for the mid lane, Adam Lallana continues to behave well. His reference is the transformed Kaka. This kind of performance has made Gao Han very satisfied. Milner is not as good as Modric in passing and controlling, but he is defensive. Great contribution.

The only problem is what Gao Han said, the tactical awareness is weak, and it needs to be strengthened.

Vertonghen was regarded as the saddest performance in the second half of the game. He played on the bench for 30 minutes, and the two goals lost were related to him. This made the Belgian lively and vigorous before he went on the court, but he looked like a bereaved dog at the end.

But Gao Han didn't plan to talk to the players after the game. He felt that sometimes appropriate blows would not necessarily be a bad thing for a player with a big heart like Vertonghen.

…………

The Community Shield was taken away from Wembley Stadium, but Manchester City’s performance in the first and second halves was very different, making many media reporters' evaluations polarized. They believed that the first half was a dream and the second half was a disaster, with angels and demons coexisting.

Gao Han did not care about this at all. In an interview with the media, he said that he was very satisfied with the performance of the players in both halves. Some problems did occur in the game, but this also means that the team has continued to improve and improve. Room for improvement.

"As I have always emphasized, my duty is to solve problems when the team has problems."

"If the team is perfect enough, then I should also be unemployed."

This is what I said to the outside world, but the attitude of Gao Han in the team is relatively tough.

In the early morning of the second day, at the summary meeting after the team's recovery training, Gao Han pointed out the problems exposed in the upper and lower half of the team, especially in the second half, two goals should not be conceded.

One time, although Feltonghen returned to the defense for the first time when he was on the robbery, he did not close in in time, causing him to be too far away from Harvey Martinez and torn apart by Essien’s through ball. The line of defense.

And the second goal conceded even more shouldn't.

After Vertonghen came off the bench, he occasionally acted a little at a loss. It seemed a little lost, but he was seized by the keen Colombian forward. Together with Arshavin's right passing assist, he knocked again. He's goal.

It should be said that the two goals conceded were personal issues, and Gao Han also pointed out it unceremoniously at the summary meeting after the game.

But at the same time he also gave Vertonghen affirmation~www.readwn.com~ because the Belgian central defender has shown strength and level in several tackles and defenses. Gao Han believes this is a very good phenomenon and firmly believes in Vertonghen. After being integrated into the team, there will be outstanding performance.

Carrots and sticks, this is also a common method used by Alpine to beat young players.

In addition to Vertonghen, many other players have also been criticized by Gao Han, but Gao Han finally believes that there is still a week before the new season and the team has plenty of time to prepare and improve.

After finishing the morning's restorative training, Gao Han announced that the team would be off for one day, and the players adjusted themselves to prepare for the new season.

Just when Gao Han disbanded the team and drove home, he suddenly received a call.
