Chapter 172 Li Mingyu's first game of the new season, the Community Shield
2022 8 Month 28 Day.
The Premier League kicks off on September 9, but today marks the first game of each season in England.
England Community Shield.
This is a cup with a very long history.
Since 1908, the predecessor of this cup, the Charity Shield, has appeared.
Until 2002, the British government pointed out in a report that the FA had violated the relevant regulations on the use of funds when using the income obtained from the Charity Shield.The Charity Shield has since been forced to be renamed the Community Shield.
Unlike other cup competitions, the prize for the winning team of this event is not a trophy, but a shield.
The two sides of this event are generally between the Premier League champions of last season and the FA Cup champions. If the champions of these two events are the same team, then the champions and runners-up of last season's Premier League will compete.
Last season, Manchester City not only won the Premier League, but also won the Community Shield, the FA Cup and the League Cup. If they can win the Champions League at the end, then they will become five crowns.
Therefore, this time the Community Shield will be played between the Premier League champion Manchester City and the Premier League runner-up Manchester United.
The Manchester derby, after rising from Manchester City, has become the best derby in England.
Wembley Stadium is a regular venue for the Community Shield.
Manchester City fans have been waiting for a whole summer, and finally they can see the debut of Li Mingyu, whom their team bought for [-] million euros.
Over the years, the Manchester United team is no longer the Premier League Red Devils that terrified the whole of Europe.
Since 2008, Manchester United has not touched the Champions League trophy again!
Since 2013, Manchester United has never touched the Premier League championship.
Since the restructuring of the Premier League in the 1992-1993 season, Manchester United has dominated the crowd with 13 championships.
Since Manchester City defended the Premier League title last season, they have surpassed Chelsea's 6 with 5 Premier League titles, becoming the team that has won the second most championships in history after the reorganization of the Premier League.
Since the United Arab Emirates consortium took over Manchester City in 2008, Manchester City has undergone tremendous changes. From the 2011-2012 season, Manchester City has won six Premier League titles in a full ten years, which is perfect.
This time, Manchester City did not hesitate to spend 3 million euros to buy Li Mingyu, not only because of De Bruyne's departure, but also because Manchester City is eager for the Champions League trophy and can't wait.
Just like Juventus in Serie A, Manchester City has longed for their first Champions League trophy.
Interview before the Community Shield.
Li Mingyu said lightly, "I came to the Premier League to help Manchester City win the championship. The Community Shield is just the first trophy of this season. I will get the second and the third until I finish all the trophies."
Li Mingyu's speech shocked everyone.
When he was in Barcelona, although Li Mingyu often showed his sharpness, because there was Messi on top of him, Li Mingyu didn't want to regard himself as the boss of Barcelona.
However, this time, Li Mingyu's arrival has convinced everyone in training and friendly matches. The transfer fee of 3000 million euros, the annual salary of [-] million euros and various bonuses have established Li Mingyu's core position in this team.
Moreover, he still has the trust of Guardiola. Li Mingyu's declaration is also to confirm his status.
In the city of Manchester, the blue ocean boiled, but the red ocean was furious.
It's red and blue again. Could it be that Li Mingyu can't do without these two colors all his life?
Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandez said with a displeased face, "Boy, this is England, not Spain. Here, don't show off your skills. I hope you can say such things on the pitch!"
B-Fei's words drew applause from the fans of the Manchester United team. They clamored that they must give Li Mingyu a big blow on the pitch, and let him know that the Premier League is the number one league in the world, and your La Liga is just a rural place.
English fans have always been very upset that La Liga ranks at the top of the top five leagues.
Except for Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, the other teams in La Liga are all fat, how can they be compared with the "Little World Cup" league like the Premier League!
It is true that the number of viewers of the Premier League in the world is increasing year by year, and La Liga suffered a huge loss after Ronaldo left. It was not until the arrival of Harland and the rise of Li Mingyu that there was some improvement.
But after Li Mingyu left, the attention of La Liga plummeted. In Asia, especially in China, the attention of La Liga showed a cliff-like decline, while the Premier League attracted the attention of these fans.
Before the game even started, Li Mingyu's Manchester City jersey had already been sold all over the world, becoming the best-selling jersey this season.
Manchester City can make a lot of money just relying on the jersey.
……
Wembley Stadium.
December 8th, 28pm.
The summer sun is still very dazzling.
But Wembley Stadium is already full of voices inside and outside.
Wembley Stadium, which can accommodate 90000 people, is already full.
After three months of waiting, England fans, whose football is in their blood, can't wait.
Inside Wembley Stadium, red and blue have taken over all places.
The South Stand is a diehard Manchester United team, while the North Stand is full of fans of Blue Moon.
The double-double fans used their singing and shouting to render this unattractive Community Shield match like the Champions League final.
In the dressing room of the Manchester City team, Li Mingyu looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a blue jersey, white shorts, and deliberately short hair, which made Li Mingyu, who was already handsome and aggressive, look even more energetic.
This is Li Mingyu's second visit to England.
The first time was at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge during the UEFA Champions League group stage last season.
That game let Li Mingyu know how good England's football hooligans are.
However, Chelsea also suffered a huge loss, and their home games will be played behind closed doors for a season.
Last season, Chelsea did not even make it to the top four in the league, and finally ranked fifth. If they hadn't won the Europa League, they would not be able to participate in the Champions League this season, and the loss would be too great.
Wembley Stadium is the home of the England national team and the venue for many major English games.
Moreover, this season's Champions League final will also be held on this stadium.
Li Mingyu's heart was agitated. If he could win the first game of this season at Wembley Stadium and win the Community Shield, and then win the championship on this field in the last game of the season, the Champions League final, and win the Champions League, then this season will be completely complete.
However, after Li Mingyu came to England, one of the news he was told was that England had more games than Spain, such as the League Cup, FA Cup, and Community Shield.
And the FA Cup has another thing that makes people speechless. If there is a tie, a rematch is required. This makes many Premier League teams not attach much importance to the FA Cup. Like the League Cup, they usually send their own substitutes to participate.
After all, the lengthy Premier League requires a very good physical reserve.
"Tencent Sports viewers and friends, good evening everyone, welcome to watch the England Community Shield match we brought to you."
"The England Community Shield is a cup with a very long history in England. Its predecessor is the Charity Shield. The prize for the final winner is a prize shield, which is the biggest difference from other cups."
"In previous years, the Community Shield matches were not very eye-catching. Even in England, only the fans of the two participating teams would pay attention. But this year is different. Everyone knows that the Chinese player Li Mingyu transferred from Barcelona to Manchester City for a record [-] million euros this summer, becoming the most expensive player in world football."
"This game is Li Mingyu's first performance since he came to Manchester City, so it has attracted the attention of fans all over the world. According to statistics, the number of people watching this game will definitely exceed the 10 billion mark."
"It can be seen how popular Li Mingyu is. Everyone wants to know whether Li Mingyu can quickly recover his previous ability after suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon last season. Let everyone know whether the [-] million spent by Manchester City is worth it!"
"Players from both sides have already entered the field. Let me first introduce the lineups of both sides."
"For Manchester City, a 4-3-3 lineup is formed. The goalkeeper is No. 1 Ederson. The four defenders are Ukrainian defender Oleksandr Zinchenko, John Stones, Aymeric Laporte and Kyle Walker. This season, Manchester City's defense has not changed at all. These players are already very familiar with each other."
"In terms of midfield, midfielder Rodri Hernandez is very trustworthy. The two attacking midfielders, Gundogan and Li Mingyu, form a terrifying frontcourt combination."
"Gesus, Sterling and Riyad Mahrez's front three are enough to scare all opponents."
"Manchester City didn't make any major moves in other positions this season except for the purchase of Li Mingyu. After all, the transfer fee of 3 million euros, even a big dog like Manchester City would feel very pressured!"
"This season, the total value of Manchester City has exceeded 10 billion euros, becoming the first team in Europe and even the world with a total value of more than 10 billion euros. The second-ranked Liverpool is only more than 8 million euros, which is worth more than De Bruyne less than Manchester City."
"Let's take a look at Manchester United's lineup. It's still their usual 4-2-3-1 lineup. The goalkeeper is De Gea who recovered in the second half of last season. The four defenders are Wan Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire and Luke Shaw."
"The two defensive midfielders are Fred and McTominay, and the three attacking midfielders are B-Fee, Rashford and Pogba."
"The forward striker is Greenwood."
"Manchester United's lineup is both offensive and defensive. However, I don't know if Manchester United can win against Manchester City with Li Mingyu. Let us wait and see!"
In the player tunnel, Guardiola, a handsome bald man with a beard, stood in front of everyone in the Manchester City team. He was wearing a white T-shirt and looked lazy. He didn't look like a head coach at all.
The two linesmen checked the equipment of the players on both sides one by one, making sure that they did not have those prohibited items on them.
Li Mingyu's middle position in the Manchester City team is not very special, but he got a lot of shots.
This was Li Mingyu's first official game in Manchester City. I don't know how many people were focusing on him, hoping to see if this [-] million euro man would still be as unstoppable as he was in Barcelona.
The departure of De Bruyne has made many Blue Moon fans doubt whether Manchester City will be able to maintain their dominance in the Premier League in the new season. After all, Li Mingyu's recovery after a serious injury is unpredictable, and no one knows whether he will be able to return to his best state.
Manchester United, the former Premier League Red Devils, is definitely a very good touchstone.
Manchester United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was belated, and after a friendly handshake with Guardiola, he stood in front of the Manchester United team.
The staff reminds everyone to enter the venue.
Manchester City captain Fernandinho has announced his retirement after the end of last season.
Now the captain of Manchester City is midfielder Ilkay Gundogan. The German international has played for Manchester City for 6 seasons and just signed another 4-year contract with the team this summer.
The 31-year-old Gundogan is an indispensable figure in Manchester City's midfield. This time, due to Fernandinho's departure, Guardiola handed over the captain's armband to Gundogan.
After the players from both sides entered the field, Li Mingyu saw the team logos of two large teams on the field, one was the team logo of the Blue Moon, and the other was the team logo of the Red Devils.
Players from both sides and the referee stood in the middle, and officials from the FA came out and shook hands with the players, coaches and referee respectively.
The two captains introduced their team members to the officials.
FA chairman Peter McCormick shook everyone's hand graciously.
But when he came in front of Li Mingyu, looking at this young face, the smile on Peter McCormick's face became more sincere.
It is this young man who has brought unexpected ratings and attention to the FA, making it easier for the Premier League to surpass La Liga and become the world's number one league.
In the past few years, the excitement of the Premier League has increased year by year. Since Ronaldo left Real Madrid, the attention of La Liga has begun to decline, and the number one position in the five major leagues has been shaky.
In addition, in the Champions League in recent years, the Premier League teams have always been able to enter the finals, and Liverpool's two consecutive championships and Manchester City's runner-up last season have allowed the Premier League to gradually surpass La Liga.
