After seeing the "Blue Moon" lineup, the commentators from major TV stations on the scene could not calm down...

"What's going on? Why is Manchester City's lineup like this today? What about David Silva, Bernardo Silva? Aguero didn't play? He wasn't even on the bench!"

"Julian Brandt, who spent a lot of money on Manchester City's transfer in the summer, actually sat on the bench? It was so surprising!"

"Don't Manchester City want to win this game today? Why are many of the stars in their team not playing, and they are not even on the bench?"

"What did Guardiola think? Can others defeat last season's four-time champion "Red Devils" Manchester United with such a lineup? Is this too bold?"

"Guardiola said before that he attached great importance to Manchester United, but the reality is that he did not rank the strongest lineup of the team!"

When Guardiola shook hands with Ole Guardiola, his face was always full of confidence, and Solskjaer didn't understand why he had such a obviously weaker lineup?

I walked back to my seat and sat down, unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip of Guardiola, and smiled again: What's the point of a Community Shield? In such a game, I just can't show too much, otherwise I would rather my team not participate in this kind of game!

The main reason why Guardiola did not make any efforts in this game is that this game is a... Community Shield Cup!

In the Super Cup in England, this thing has no meaning to Guardiola. What if you win?

If the European Super Cup is worth a fight, whoever wins can shout the title of "the strongest in Europe", but the Community Shield...haha!

On the other side, Solskjaer never expected that Guardiola would not care about this community shield. After all, Solskjaer's vision... had only been in the Norwegian domestic league before.

With Solskjaer's way of thinking, how could he understand the thoughts of a world-leading head coach like Guardiola?

In Solskjaer's view, a Community Shield Cup is a test of the strength of the two participating teams and is a very important game. If you win, it will have immeasurable benefits to the team's morale and confidence.

But in Guardiola's eyes, the team's confidence... is not something that a community shield can affect!

Nowadays, the "Blue Moon" has become so strong that ordinary people cannot imagine. His real task this season is to enable these players to display their strength. It would be a natural thing for Manchester City to win the championship in various events.

Guardiola's thoughts made the bystanders unable to guess, but the situation after the game started made all the audience a little confused...

Normally, in all their games, "Blue Moon" will try their best to control the ball, then surround the opponent and press down... The big penalty area that is facing the opponent is attacking one after another.

As for Manchester United... it should be that they keep grabbing the ball on the court, right?

Otherwise, Manchester City will play by themselves and will not bring Manchester United!

But this game is not like this. After the game started, Manchester United became the side that kept pressing on their opponents. Manchester City... I don't know if it was because the players they played today were not strong enough. Anyway, they did not take the initiative in today's game, but were instead pressed by Manchester United in their own half.

"Manchester United are attacking around Manchester City, but Manchester City is playing defensively counterattacking!?"

"How did the tactics of these two teams completely change? This... this... is incredible!"

"Can you say that Guardiola has made changes this season and the 'Blue Moon' will fight a defensive counterattack in the future?"

"Manchester United is in control of the game, they keep pressing high positions in the frontcourt, and attack when they get the ball!"

"Manchester City is defending...their defense is actually very strict, and it has made a lot of progress compared to last season!"

The audience was a little confused. If it weren't for both teams wearing their traditional jerseys in this game, they might have admitted that they had misunderstood the two teams on the court.

In the 24th minute, Manchester United took a corner kick from the left frontcourt. B Fei sent a tactical corner kick and directly gave the ball to the captain Herrera in the corner of the penalty area on the left. As a result, when Herrera stopped the ball and controlled it, she was stabbed by Laporte who rushed up.

After retracing, Jesus ran to the right position to receive the ball, turned around and drove the ball towards the front.

The Brazilian shooter took the ball and rushed forward along the side road. He was almost at the corner flag and only made a cross!

With this cross, Jessus's kick was very powerful. The player who followed Manchester City in the middle didn't follow up, so he kicked the ball directly outside the small penalty area on the left...

Here on the left, Sane, the German winger, was still very amazing. The ball flew over and the person arrived!

Stop the ball with his left foot, and shoot with his right heel...bang!

De Gea, who had moved over, made a leap to save, but it was a beat slower. When the man was still moving in the air, the ball had already flown into the goal... 0:1, Manchester United fell behind!

The Manchester City players were very happy after scoring the goal. Even Guardiola stood on the sidelines and kept smiling and nodding, applauding... The defensive counterattack is just the simplest tactic on the football field. My team can also play, but such football is not what we Manchester City pursue.

Manchester United, which became the "four champions" last season, has long been a very mature team. When they were behind in the score, not only did they not launch a counterattack immediately, but instead, under the organization of Herrera and B Fee, the team's formation has been retracted a little, and stabilized the scene first...the kingdom is the way!

Manchester United does not lack the ability to break through opponents' goals, but if the opponent is scored again because of counterattack, then the game will be lost.

Manchester United shrinks, so Manchester City naturally inevitably pushes the formation forward a little, and then... Manchester United's counterattack opportunity comes!

In the 32nd minute, De Bruyne passed the ball to the right in the center circle, but was snatched by Martial, who was retreating with speed. Then the French winger turned around and kicked the ball into the frontcourt in the middle with a "bang" kick...

Next, Manchester United's classic counterattack routine was launched!
Chapter completed!
