Before the coming of the Community Shield, both Manchester United and Manchester City suffered certain losses in personnel. Manchester City's personnel losses came from the ongoing Olympic Games. Their defense core Kompany and midfielder Yaya Toure were due to participate in Belgium. Due to the national team of Cote d'Ivoire, he will miss this Community Shield match. At the same time, I am afraid that he will not have the chance to participate in the early games of the season. This will have a certain impact on Manchester City's strength, but Dick is not very After all, Manchester City also has many good players on the bench. For example, Richards can take Kompany's place, Deco can also take Yaya Toure's place, and Vidal and Button are all quite good. Not a bad player.
After returning to Manchester, Manchester City soon ushered in the Community Shield match.
There are not many transfers for Manchester United this summer. After last season's extravagant spending, Manchester United has been relatively quiet this summer. They have been pursuing Tottenham forward Berbatov, but they have not been able to win it yet. Out of the above, they sold young central defender Pique to Barcelona for five million pounds, and several young players also left. For Ferguson, after winning the Champions League last season, Manchester United's lineup was already very good. It's stable. Except for the center position, which needs reinforcement, other positions don't need much supplementation.
In this Community Shield match, whether it is Manchester United or Manchester City, the focus is more on training players. Manchester United has hidden the two superstars Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo in this match. Now the relationship between Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United is not That's great, because he hoped to transfer to Real Madrid, but Ferguson forcefully asked him to stay. Now Ferguson is also appeasing Ronaldo, hoping that he can stay for two more years, at least not to leave easily.
And Dick did not send all his main players. Except for the three new players, many main players were absent. The goalkeeper sent Schmeichel, but the main players on the defense were sent, with Alves on the right. On the left, Barnes, the center back is partnered by Richards and Samuel. In the midfield, Barton is deployed as a deep back, Vidal and Deco form a midfield combination, while Torres and Ribery are hidden on the front line. , Bell, Benzema and Di Natale formed a forward partnership.
The process of this attention-grabbing game was not particularly good. In the end, the two sides tied at a score of zero to zero. During the game, the players on both sides did not show a very good state, and they were not able to achieve anything good under the opponent's defense. In the penalty shootout, Manchester City's four penalty kickers all performed well, including Benzema and Alvey. Si, Deco and Bell all scored penalty kicks, but Manchester United's Carrick and O'Shea failed to score the penalty kick. Manchester United finally lost 2 to 4, and Manchester City won the Community Shield championship this season!
"This is also a championship that I have never won. I am very happy to win such a championship. Even though many main players did not play, our players still withstood Manchester United's attack and won at the final point. Winning the ball battle means that our overall strength is already very goodRichards? My performance against him is very good. He is a top defensive player, whether he is playing as a full-back or a central defender. Excellent, I think he and Kompany can complement each other. We have five excellent central defenders, which allows us to not worry about defense under any circumstances. The new season is coming, and Manchester City will show a good performance. Condition and better results in the Champions League.¡±
After winning the game, Dick didn't care too much about the victory. After all, he was just planning to let the players get a feel for the game. In the second half, he replaced Cahill and Ashley? For substitutes like Yang and Sun Jihai, the final penalty kick victory can be said to be a little bit lucky. Such a victory is not enough to make people feel happy.
However, shortly after the game ended, a certain idle reporter came to a conclusion in astonishment after some statistics
"Dick is the first head coach to win the league championship in Serie A, La Liga, the Premier League, and the Bundesliga. However, this is not enough. After leading Manchester City to defeat Manchester United and win the Community Shield last night, he Became the first head coach to lead his team to win all the top honors in the four major leagues! La Liga champion, Copa del Rey champion, Spanish Super Cup champion; Bundesliga champion, German Cup champion, German League Cup champion; Serie A champion, Italian Cup champion , Italian Super Cup champion; Premier League champion, League Cup champion, FA Cup champion, Community Shield champion In addition to the UEFA Cup, Champions League and European Super Cup champions, Dick got everything a coach can get. Championships, including any championship in any league he coaches! Such a record is unprecedented. I think it seems unlikely that a head coach will be able to win so many championships in the future, except when he started coaching. It has disappearedIn addition to the European Cup Winners' Cup, he has won all championships at the club level, including all top championships in the four major leagues! This is an achievement that has never been achieved before! Even in the Toyota Cup and World Club Cup, he has a record of winning championships. No head coach has ever won so many championships like him. Will he want to join the national team in the future? How about getting so many honors? "
After such a report came out, it immediately caused an uproar. After all, Dick's current results are indeed a bit outrageous. At the club level, he has won all the championships. No one has noticed it before. Now when the statistics are counted, Dick has won all the championships. Ke is simply a perfect net. He has caught all the champions he can and has not let any one go!
"Is that so? That's really good news."
When Dick was asked about this situation, he cheerfully replied that he had never done statistics before. As a result, he really won all the championships he could win. If he did it at home, In a small exhibition hall, it is estimated that at the level of the four major leagues and European clubs, as you can imagine, Dick has won the championship in all the competitions that Dick led the team to participate in and was able to compete for. There are famous commanders under him at all levels. It is no exaggeration to say that he is invincible in the world.
In the Chinese media circle, Dick is even given the nickname "Grandmaster". It is believed that if world football is a martial arts world, Dick is not only a great master who founded a sect, but also a standard , a peerless master who is invincible in the world during this period of time, and no one can compete with him!
"To say that I am a master is a bit exaggerated. At least I have not left behind any systematic tactics that people can talk about, nor any schools that people can learn from But there is no way, the top master Coaches are always difficult to copy. I have only left one champion after another and trained one player after another. Maybe some people will be jealous of me, but it is just because I can't let them plagiarize or let them. It would be an honor for me to imitatethat they hate me like this."
This is what Dick, who has retired, said in an interview a few years later, because at that time many people wanted to study Dick's tactical arrangements and tried to learn Dick's coaching rules and succeeded, but they all failed All failed. At this time, there was a voice that although Dick had dominated football for a long time, he had not made any progress in the tactics of the entire football world because everyone was suppressed by him, which made the entire Europe Football is at a standstill
Dick quickly responded to such voices: "I don't have any tricks or rules. My tactical arrangements are based on my in-depth study of my opponents and my incomparable understanding of my own players. At this point, no one can Do better than me. If they want to learn from me, I suggest they learn this instead of looking for shortcuts, let alone saying, "Although I didn't win the championship, I left a legacy for the football world." Lots to learn' wake up kid, no one cares."
Of course, at this time, people are still envious of Dick's achievements and are looking forward to what results he will achieve this season.
After winning the Community Shield, Dick began to prepare for the next league. The Premier League started on August 17, but the first few rounds were played once a week, so the pressure was not too great and it gave him a lot of time. This gave Dick more opportunities to train his team.
With the main players absent in the first few rounds, such a game can be regarded as a test and warm-up.
Dick's goal this season is to win the Champions League. Even if he has to stop his record of leading the team to win the league championship every year, Dick will not hesitate. After all, the league champion only gets a bonus of 20 million pounds. If you get it, it will be 200 million, ten times the profit! Not only because of money, but because such a huge sum of money can realize one's dreams to a great extent.
Of course, this does not mean that Dick will give up the league championship, but that given the choice, Dick will value the Champions League championship more than the league championship.
Under this general premise, whether it is the league championship or cup championships such as the League Cup and FA Cup, they must all make way for the Champions League.
On August 17, the new Premier League season kicked off.
Manchester City's opponent in the first round is the mid-range team Aston Villa. Last season, Manchester City successfully defeated their opponents. Although this round is an away game, for Manchester City, they also have great possibilities. Win the game.
However, when the game ended, all Manchester City fans were surprised, and those who couldn't stand Dick were running to tell each other
In the absence of two main players, although Manchester City relied on strike partners Torres and Di Natale to score two goals, Manchester City lost to Aston Villa 2-4 away from home. Stonevilla's local youngster Agbonlahor shined brightly in the second half of the game. He used lightning speed to continuously tear apart Manchester City's defense with counterattacks. In the second half of the game, he completed a hat-trick with a single shot. Thanks to a goal from Norwegian center Carew, Aston Villa was upset in the first round and defeated defending champion Manchester City 4-2!
"After just completing a sweep of personal honors, Manchester City led by Dick suffered a heavy setback in the first round of the league This was the first time since Dick took charge that he suffered a defeat in the first league game of a single season. Previously, his The winning rate is very high, and there are very few draws, let alone losses. However, this time, Dick suffered a defeat in the first round. Could this be the beginning of the shattering of his myth? "
