The Community Shield, the last time Chelsea won the trophy, was exactly 13 years ago.

As the first championship of the new season, although it has a certain friendly nature, the club still attaches great importance to it.

During the pre-match training, Qin Xi performed very well.

No one would believe that a Chinese who has just entered the Premier League would perform so well.

Tuchel did not announce the starting line-up for the match in advance.

Many people believe that combining the preseason and the performance of the training ground, Qin Xi will start.

30 July 2022, Wembley Stadium.

The 22/23 season of the England Community Shield is on the verge of a start.

The bad news came before the game that Ngoro suffered a hamstring injury and will be out for at least six weeks.

"I really didn't expect that the old assembly would let Zick start."

Gallagher sat on the bench and sighed to Qin Xi beside him.

Tuchel used a midfield combination of Zick and Jorginho for this match.

"It's okay, man, it's the same for anyone." In fact, Qin Xi's heart is full of disappointment, he knows that this game is the first official game of his Chelsea career, which is different from the pre-season.

The young lady, who must be sitting somewhere in Wembley, is praying with Petr Cech for her first trophy at the Bridge.

Qin Xi guessed correctly, things at home fell behind for a while, and she and Linda both returned to London.

'Tuchel didn't put Qin Xi on the pitch in this game, I asked him and he said it was a tactical need. Cech explained to Boss Qi beside him.

"It's okay, I totally understand and I trust Thomas, he's one of the best coaches in the world." Qi Xin looked very relaxed.

Even so, her eyes were still on the bench not far away, and she could vaguely see Qin Xi's big back.

.......

"Hey Norwegian boy, welcome to the Premier League."

During the handshake period, Timo Werner greeted Manchester City's new signing Haaland warmly.

They have known each other for a long time, having met Haaland at RB Salzburg at Timo Werner in Leipzig.

"Long time no see, Timo." Haaland looked very young, and his face was even covered with pimples.

Thomas Tuchel shook hands with the Manchester City boss and questioned that the two world-famous managers will have their first game of the new season.

The brief opening ceremony ended slowly.

Referee Anthony. Taylor blew the whistle that started the first half.

"Oh my God, this guy is too strong."

Haaland started with a decent chance, almost carrying Torres and getting a shot.

"Yes, Torres, we have to fight 120,000 points, this guy is really difficult to deal with." Conde on the side defended in time to destroy the ball.

Qin Xi was off the field, witnessing every move on the field.

His gaze is more on Zick and Jorginho.

"If I'm on the field, then I will..." Qin Xi likes to deduce his own action, he likes to analyze himself, if he is on the field, what choices he will make at each step.

"Oops, this ball angle is too tricky."

After witnessing Haaland's goal, Gallagher on the bench covered his head.

In the 15th minute of the game, Manchester City led Chelsea 1-0 thanks to Haaland's goal.

'The ball is Chilwell's pot and he shouldn't have let Cancelo rush to the wing. On the bench, Kovasić, who was sitting behind Qin Xi, analyzed.

He had a point, and the goal was played on a loop on a big screen in the stadium.

Joao Cancelo's assist was fantastic and Haaland's shot was impeccable.

After playing Haaland's goal, the camera once again captured Petr Cech and Zihin in the audience.

It can be seen that they are in a good mood and look confident.

"Hey, West, look quickly, the boss is really here." Gallagher deliberately teased Qin Xi on the side.

"How? Do you want to play and give performance to your new boss? Qin Xi asked rhetorically.

"No, no, no, I'm talking about you, you can see, your relationship is not simple."

"Big brother, concentrate on watching the game, our team is still behind." Mount, sitting in the front row, turned his head and yelled at Gallagher.

In the first half, neither side scored again and Chelsea organised a couple of decent attacks.

But the heart of Manchester City's defence is Ruben. Dias is in good form and can easily defuse Werner's breakthrough every time.

The team went into the halftime with a 0-1 scoreline.

"Gallagher, you go warm up."

Hearing the manager's words, Gallagher excitedly changed into a warm-up vest and left the dressing room.

Tuchel was upset and criticised the two wingers who started the line-up: Rafinha and Christian Pulisic.

"Rafinha, go take a bath, you still need a certain amount of time to adjust to your state."

"Okay, boss, I'm sorry, I'll get back in shape as soon as possible." Rafinha has also been extremely disappointed with his performance, and indeed, he has only been in Tuchel's system for a short time and he needs time to adapt.

"Listen to me, boys, you noticed too, the new owner is in the stands, this is the team's first championship of the season, like I said before the game, we have to win it!"

"Understood!" Everyone's voice was very loud, and it was clear that everyone was eager for this trophy.

Qin Xi listened carefully to Tuchel's tactical arrangements, although he has not yet appeared, but he is making preparations, and his intuition tells him that this game will have his own chance to play.

.......

Fifteen minutes later, the second half begins.

Gallagher came on and appeared on the team's wing.

But his first touch was disastrous.

It may be that he did not adapt to Wembley's turf and accidentally slipped while dribbling the ball.

The ball was cut off by Kevin De Bruyne and a long pass over the top was taken by Haaland.

The Norwegian crosses Grealish from inside the box and the latter scores the ball.

After the goal, the Manchester City bench on the sidelines was excited, while Tuchel and his disciples behind him looked demoralized.

On 48 minutes, the team trailed 2-0 to Manchester City.

"Havertz! Ziyech! Change your clothes and go warm up! 'You can see that Tuchel is very unhappy with the team's performance.

Manchester City's possession is the best in the world.

After a two-goal lead, they were in no hurry to attack and kept the ball at their feet.

Pulisic tackles Grealish during the counter-attack.

The referee, Taylor, showed him a yellow card.

He was replaced by Hai Yech and Havertz replaced Timo Werner.

The game had entered the 70th minute, and Qin Xi was sitting on the bench.

He looked at Tuchel, who was standing on the sidelines, waiting for his call.

"Kovacic, go warm up!"

It wasn't him, Tuchel chose the Croatian this time.

And just as Qinsi was watching Kovacic jog on the sidelines, Chelsea were given a chance from a set-piece in front.

Hakim Ziyech stood near the ball and prepared to take the penalty.

He drove the ball out with his left foot and the ball quickly flew into the box.

Havertz broke away from Stones' defence and flicked his head into the net.

Goalkeeper Ederson made a brilliant save to knock the ball out.

Just as the Chelsea players were lamenting, a miracle happened.

The ball was back at the feet of Ziyech again.

He dangled past the defender in the arc of the box and shot from distance.

Goalkeeper Edson was distracted by the defender and the ball went into the net.

The score became 1:2.

"West, go warm up!" After a frenzied celebration, Tuchel finally said the words he dreamed of.

Qin Xi put on his vest and rushed to the sidelines with an arrow.

......

"It seems to be him."

After celebrating with Boss Qi next to him, Petr Cech spotted the action of the bench.

Qi Xin looked at Qin Xi's back, this moment was finally coming.
