Chapter one hundred and eighty second thoughts
The new seasons of each national league start with the Super Cup, but the names of each country are different. They are called Super Cup in other places, but in England this cup is called the Community Shield Cup.
It was a match between the Premier League champion and the FA Cup champion last season.
Manchester City won the championship in this competition last season.
There was once a so-called curse of the Community Shield Cup, which means that anyone who wins the Community Shield Cup at the beginning of the season will definitely not be able to win the league championship.
However, this curse did not last long before it was broken.
Few people have mentioned it again before Manchester City.
Manchester City won the Community Shield Cup last season and also won the league championship last season.
Manchester City participated as the FA Cup champion last season when he participated in the Community Shield Cup.
Last season, Manchester City won the league championship but lost the FA Cup championship.
So this time they participated in the Community Shield Cup as the league champion. Their opponent is Chelsea. Although Ancelotti's team did not compete to win Manchester City in the league last season, they won the championship in the FA Cup.
This is also the continuation of the competition between the two teams that competed until the end last season in the Community Shield Cup.
Before this game, because many players participated in the World Cup and did not participate well in the pre-season training camp, Benitez did not intend to send out the strongest lineup in this Community Shield Cup match.
In addition, it can also be given a chance to show off those newly joined teams.
However, what everyone is most concerned about is whether Glory and Ibrahimovic will start at the same time in this game.
Before this, Manchester City played four warm-up matches, and none of the four games had the same starting lineup. Benitez was testing various personnel combinations.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or Benitez did it on purpose. In the multiple lineup combinations of these four games, Rongguang and Ibrahimovic have never played on the court at the same time...
So will the Community Shield become the first time that two people fight side by side?
※※※
From transferring to Manchester City to now, Ibrahimovic has been in this new team for more than a month. He and Rongguang are in peace to a large extent. Glory is grateful to Rongguang for being elusive. Generally speaking, Ibrahimovic rarely encounters Rongguang when he is in the locker room. When Rongguang encounters Rongguang on the training ground, he is also training. The two have never been together alone at once, which also avoids embarrassment.
But Ibrahimovic would not think that's good. In fact, he has always cared about this matter in his heart - what exactly did Rongguang think about coming to Manchester City? Is he curious about why he chose Manchester City, and what does he think of his arrival in his heart?
These thoughts fill Ibrahimovic's mind, and occasionally cause some minor troubles to Ibrahimovic, such as being distracted during training...
Such an idea had a deeper and deeper impact on Ibrahimovic, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore.
He decided to go straight to Rongguang and ask him clearly. No matter what Rongguang thinks of him, he must know it.
Three days before the Community Shield, Glory finished all the training day and returned to the locker room.
What surprised him was that the locker room that was probably empty in the sky was sitting at this time.
Ibrahimovic sat in his position with a golden sword. After seeing Glory coming in, he was not surprised, but stared at Glory like this.
Moreover, his eyes were always locked on Rongguang, and he kept moving with Rongguang. At first, he just moved his eyes, but later he directly twisted his neck, and he was staring at Rongguang like this anyway.
Glory also looked at Ibrahimovic in turn.
"Rong." Ibrahimovic finally spoke.
"Hmm? Is there anything wrong?" Rongguang replied.
"I have a problem, Rong," said Ibrahimovic.
“What’s the problem?”
"Don't you want to know why I came to Manchester City?"
"Anyway, it's not about being self-destructive." Rongguang said.
Ibrahimovic rolled his eyes. When Rongguang went to Manchester City before, he called him to angrily criticize him for his depravity. Unexpectedly, Rongguang used these words to mock himself.
"I came to Manchester City to win the championship," said Ibrahimovic. "I want to avenge Barcelona and Guardiola."
Rongguang thought of what he said to Sneider before, but he didn't expect it to really become the "Avengers"...
"You must laugh at me in your heart, right?" Ibrahimovic said, staring at Rongguang.
Rong Guang shook his head: "How is that possible?"
"Don't deny, you must have done this." Ibrahimovic said firmly. "But it doesn't matter. Since I'm all here, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. You laugh at me, but I must take revenge on Barcelona."
Ibrahimovic said as he clenched his fists.
"I want to win the championship at Manchester City, beat Barcelona, and prove to them that I Geratan is the best center to give up. I am their biggest mistake."
After Ibrahimovic said in anger, he stood up.
Then he walked straight to the locker room door.
"The day after tomorrow, I will prove this with the championship - I came here to win the championship."
After saying that, he left the locker room.
Rongguang looked at the door after he left, was stunned for a while, then shrugged and went to take a shower.
He didn't quite understand why Ibrahimovic wanted to say this to himself.
Is it just to tell yourself?
I also waited specifically in the locker room to tell myself after finishing training... As for?
※※※
Rongguang didn't understand why Ibrahimovic had to say this to himself specifically.
But Ibrahimovic, who had left the locker room, was in a good mood and even a smile appeared on his face.
He said everything he held in his heart to Rongguang and got a not bad result. Rongguang did not laugh at him, which made him feel relieved.
However, what made Ibrahimovic happiest was actually not that Gengguang did not laugh at himself, but that he finally ended this thought.
Now he can focus on facing the Community Shield Cup against Chelsea.
He knew the speculations of the outside media about his relationship with Glory. Although he came to Manchester City, this does not mean that he wants to be friends with Glory.
Just as he told Rongguang, he came here to win the championship. In order to win the championship, he could not fall out with Rongguang and maintain peace.
He also said his plan to Rongguang that was the same - I came to win the championship, and I was not interested in the grudges and hatreds between us.
Judging from Glory's reaction, Glory's idea should be the same as Ibrahimovic.
They will not focus on the relationship between two people. They will neither maintain a good relationship in order to show unity in front of the media, but they will not make any trouble and quarrel in the locker room.
※※※
Since Ibrahimovic came to Manchester City, the media have been looking forward to his bomb suddenly explode.
In the locker room, quarrel with teammates, and on the training ground, Glory Live...
But none of these things happened.
Now they still have one expectation, that is, when Rongguang and Ibrahimovic start at the same time in the official game, see what Ibrahimovic will do to Rongguang...
Will the two of them not pass the ball to each other?
With his current status, all his previous experiences have long been dug up by journalists, so those experiences in St. Paul are not unknown secrets.
Everyone knows that when he was in St. Paul, he had a bad relationship with Kaka. How bad was the relationship between the two?
Haven't passed on each other in almost a season
So will he and Ibrahimovic do the same this season?
If he and Ibrahimovic completely ignore each other, it will be difficult for the two to connect, and Manchester City's offense will have to fight each other.
This is not the result that Benitez wants.
But the media may hope that such a thing will happen...
※※※
Three days later, Manchester City and Chelsea gathered at the New Wembley Stadium to compete for the Community Shield.
This game also means that the new season of the Premier League has officially begun.
For Manchester City, Rongguang and Ibrahimovic started, but David Silva did not play, and Milner was the one who replaced him.
Sneijder also did not start, and the one who replaced him was Ellano. Although Ellano won the start in this game, there are many rumors that Ellano will definitely leave Manchester City.
Manchester City is undergoing a less obvious purge...
Other locations, Matuidi, Gareth Barrie, Lucio and Kompani, Zabaleta and Barnes, Joe Hart.
These are similar to the main lineup of last season, and the biggest change is the offensive combination.
The reporters in the media table all looked at Rongguang and Ibrahimovic who appeared. The TV broadcast also knew everyone's thoughts. After giving Rongguang a close-up, Ibrahimovic was given a close-up.
But no one can find anything from the expressions of two people.
The suspense can only be left to the game.
As the captain, Rongguang lost in the sidelines, so Manchester City got the kick-off.
Rongguang and Milner, who had just joined the team, stood on both sides of the football and were preparing to kick off. Ibrahimovic stood not far behind them, in the middle circle.
After all the players were in place, the referee whistled and Glory gently rubbed the football out, and then he went to the side.
At the same time, Ibrahimovic directly crossed the center line and rushed into Chelsea's half.
Milner passed the football back directly.
Manchester City's first official game of the season has finally begun. This is also the first time that Gengguang and Ibrahimovic have started at the same time in the game.
What kind of sparks will the two of them create?
