Although Manchester City introduced Sneider from Real Madrid, Sneider was not able to enter the roster in this Community Shield Cup. After all, he has only been with the team for two days and has only been training with the team for one day. He is not tacit enough to make him play. Instead, it will add trouble to the team.

So he sat in the stands in this game and watched the game as an audience with other teammates who were not included in the roster.

In this Community Shield Cup match, Benitez's starting lineup was not much different from last season. Because David Silva was injured, the offensive lineup was completely unchanged. The starting center Berbatov was followed by Glory and Robinho. In the back position was Ellano, followed by two defensive midfielders, Gareth Barrie and Haman. On the back line, the changes were slightly bigger. Dunn, the centre-back, no longer continued to start. The replacement was Lucio, Lucio and Kompani, started in this game, with the right back still Zabaleta, and the left back was replaced by Leiden Barnes.

Goalkeeper is still Joe Hart.

This lineup is the strongest lineup that Benitez can currently rank, which shows his importance to this game. In any case, this is also a championship and will be counted as his honorary title.

Manchester United also has the strongest lineup they can rank. Ferguson also plans to fight Manchester City to the death in this game. However, after losing Cristiano Ronaldo, what performance Manchester United can do is confusing.

The newly built Wembley Stadium has no iconic twin towers, replaced by the Rainbow Bridge. Today, Wembley Stadium is still full, and the grand occasion is just like the FA Cup final a few months ago.

Before the game started, Manchester City and Manchester United fans started singing in the stands with a crisp sing. Manchester City fans seemed very relaxed and didn't look like they were going to play against their arch-rivals in the city. The team's performance last season gave them confidence, especially in the last two matches against Manchester United, they won.

But the media and experts are not as optimistic as them.

"...I know that someone will definitely bring up the FA Cup final and talk about it now. Yes, even the venue is exactly the same, it will inevitably make people think of this. But what I must say is that Manchester City's victory in the FA Cup final last season does not represent the real strength gap between the two teams. After all, those who have watched that game should know how Manchester City won that game - they rely on Rong's personal performance, three free kicks, but such things really require luck. I don't think Manchester City can still have that luck in this game..."

As the competition is about to begin, the TV station is ready to broadcast live, and the commentators and commentators are doing previews of the competition.

Everyone thinks this game should be a close match, but it is impossible for Manchester City to beat Manchester United 30, just like the last FA Cup final.

The outcome of this game is not easy to say now.

In the locker room, the head coaches of both sides were also making the final mobilization.

Ferguson was roaring at his players: "This summer, we sold Cristiano Ronaldo, so the whole world is saying that Manchester United is finished. If this happens, I hear calluses. Will Manchester United be finished because of the departure of one person? No, if that happens, we will not be Manchester United. This game is the first opportunity. Let's prove to those who look down on us, who is the boss in the city of Manchester."

The Ferguson hair dryer is fully powered.

At the same time, in another locker room, Benitez, the head coach who is not good at tirades, is also cheering his teammates: "This is a city derby. Gentlemen, I don't think I need to say anything more anymore, right? Last time, we beat them in the FA Cup final and got such an opportunity. But there are still many people saying that the reason why Manchester City won the FA Cup championship was related to Rong's performance alone. We rely on Rong alone, luck, and easily denied the team's contribution and contribution. I think this is a good proof that gives them the opportunity to see. The reason why Manchester City can beat Manchester United is because we are a combat-ready group."

After saying that, he let the players play.

Rong Guang was the last one to appear because he was wearing the captain's armband.

It was a little uncomfortable to wear this for the first time, so he took some effort.

Tied the captain's armband to his left arm and tightly clamped it. He even raised his arm, not very adaptable...

Then he tilted his head and looked at the captain's armband on his arm.

With his simple understanding of the identity of "captain", he believes that since he is the captain, he must achieve some results, just like a village chief. As the head of a village, you have the obligation to lead the villagers to become rich.

He is not the village chief, and the team's task is not to get rich. But the team needs to compete for the championship.

Since he is now the captain of the team, he has the more responsibility to lead the team to the championship.

This game will be decided to win a championship immediately, and it is also his first game as the captain. If the championship is lost, how shameless will he be like this captain?

So he has to decide this champion anyway

While the players on both sides were waiting to play in the player channel, when Rongguang walked forward from the team the last way, he attracted the attention of every Manchester United player next to him. Everyone was attracted by the yellow captain's armband on Rongguang's cheating, and then looked at Rongguang with surprise until Rongguang stood in the front row of the team, even ahead of goalkeeper Joe Hart.

That is where the captain stood.

Manchester United captain Vidic, next to him, couldn't help but look at Rongguang a few more times, but Rongguang didn't even look at him, just stared at the stadium outside the passage.

Manchester City actually let him be the captain...

When the players on both sides appeared, the fans on the scene and the audience in front of the TV also discovered that Rong Guang was the person walking in the front row of the team, and he wore the captain's armband on his arm.

Captain, Rong Guang

With his glorious level and strength, he is the absolute core in every team, but the core is not equal to the captain, so he has never served as the captain of any team before, neither the first captain nor the second or third captain.

People's impression of glory is that he is an extraordinary and talented player, he has the ability to solve problems that many people cannot solve, and he scores goals easily, helping the team win without stopping.

But no one thinks he has a leader temperament and can be the captain of a team. After all, he is too young... and he doesn't seem to be keen on participating in the team's internal affairs. He spends all his spare time training, so such a person doesn't seem to be willing to be the captain.

But now, the glory of wearing the captain's armband is walking in front of everyone. On Manchester City's sky blue jersey, the yellow captain's armband is very eye-catching and conspicuous, so people will never misread it.

He actually...really...became the captain

Captain Rongguang, an image that people never dared to imagine before, is now truly in front of everyone.

Can he be a good captain? Will let him be a captain cause him to be distracted? It will affect his performance in the game?

These questions emerged as everyone saw the captain's armband on his arm.

"Rong was appointed as the new captain of Manchester City this season. In the next game, he will wear the captain's armband to play. We can understand Benitez's decision. After all, in this Manchester City team today, Rong's prestige can be said to be the highest. His performance in last season made all Manchester City players willing to accept him. But what I must say is that high prestige does not mean that you can be a good captain. Sometimes the captain needs not only prestige, but also some ability as a leader. In this regard... To be honest, I am not very optimistic about Captain Rong... I think after a season, Rong should find Benitez and take the initiative to return the captain's armband..."

Commentator Alan Hansen is still reserved about Rong Guang being the captain, although he does not doubt Rong Guang's ability on the court at all...

※※※

As the captain, Rongguang was at the forefront of the team. Everyone was the first to shake hands with him. Then he had to represent the entire team and the captain of Manchester United to participate in the side selection.

These programs are a bit clumsy when done, and are not as familiar as Vidic.

After shaking hands with Vidic, he even forgot to exchange team flags with Vidic, so the Manchester United flag handed out by Vidic seemed a little embarrassed and was ignored by Rong Guang...

It was still at the reminder of the referee that Rongguang realized that the captains of both sides should exchange the team flags after shaking hands.

So he quickly apologized to Vidic and completed the ceremony of exchanging team flags.

Vidic also smiled and patted Geng's shoulder.

Such a captain is really rare and simple...

After the next set of procedures, Rong Guang lost the coin to pick the edge and won the kick-off.

Then he shook hands with Vidic again, shook hands with the three referees, and the two took photos with the three referees, and then returned to his team.

Alan Hansen has been observing Glory’s approach in this program.

After seeing Rongguang forgot to exchange the team flags, he shook his head: "It's so hard to be proud... He shouldn't have been the captain..."

Motson smiled and said, "Everyone will have a first time, it's inevitable."

"But isn't Manchester City's important purpose now the team's performance?" Alan Hansen shrugged. "The most important thing is to ensure the team's performance and to have an environment that is not affected and disturbed."

"The position of captain is very important. It is not only about wearing the captain's armband to show off on the court, maintaining the unity of the team's locker room, building a communication bridge between the team and the coach, but also solving various problems within the team... I don't think Rong Guang is competent. And Manchester City's team is very prone to problems like this. If Rong can't do it, it will affect the unity of the team and thus affect the team's performance... For Benitez, I think this is probably not what he wants to see..."

Alan Hansen snorted coldly.
