Ferguson did call his players a dog at halftime.

Because this is indeed a problem with the team in defense, otherwise how could Glory score a goal?

If someone could follow Rong Guang, jump against him, and get stuck in the inside line, Rong Guang would not have pushed in so easily.

Every Manchester United player was scolded by Ferguson so much that he couldn't raise his head.

On the other side, Benitez was not happy because the team was leading the first half. In fact, he was making mistakes for his players and telling each player one by one what was wrong with their performance in the first half.

"...Robinho, you get too many balls in the first half. Don't always lower your head and drive the ball. You have to pass the ball, and you have to pass more. When you pass the ball, you will make it harder for your opponent to defend..."

"Elano, you made too many reposts in the first half. If you only know how to repost, I will replace you..."

"Berbatov, you ran too little in the first half..."

It is really that every player was criticized by Benitez, and even Glory was no exception. Benitez criticized Glory for being too slow to get into the state after the first half. He did not shoot a shot before the long shot of the corner kick. This may be very normal for other players, but if it is in Glory, Benitez can think it is abnormal.

Even the heroes of the goal can be criticized. This is the characteristic of Benitez. After working together in the second half of last season, everyone has become accustomed to it. Benitez is such a person. You rarely see him smiling after winning the ball. He is always very serious.

There was something like this last season. A player scored goals in the game and performed very well. After he came down, he was full of joy. He originally thought that Benitez would praise him, but he heard Benitez say to him: "You have three more places in this game that you have not done properly..."

This is Benitez.

So few players who have worked with him like him.

However, the changes he brought to Manchester City were indeed immediate, so no matter how Manchester City players commented on Benitez in private, they were still very convinced of his style in football.

The most important thing is that after their leader, Rongguang, was criticized by Benitez, did not show any disdain and angry expressions, and they were even less qualified to say anything.

After this time, Glory was criticized by Benitez, he was not dissatisfied. He just nodded: "I understand."

Rongguang and Benitez had zero personal relationships. They left football and had never talked about a word, had never talked about the weather, had never talked about the recent TV show, and had not talked about the question "Did you eat?"

If you only look at this, you will think that Glory and Benitez must have had a bad relationship.

But in fact, this is not the case. Benitez's most loyal follower in the locker room may be glory.

Why?

No one knows why, Rongguang never said it, and naturally Benitez would not explain such a thing to others.

Maybe...it has something to do with both of them longing to keep getting stronger...

In order to make himself stronger, Benitez once traveled to European countries at his own expense, watched the training of famous coaches in various famous clubs, talked to them, and drew nourishment from it. It was to make himself stronger in the head coaching matter.

And how Rongguang works hard to become stronger doesn’t need to be traced back.

When it comes to making himself stronger, Rongguang and Benitez are really a bit similar...

So the two of them don’t need to like or attract each other, just understand each other. They are people who work together because of the same goal. They don’t need to be friends, they can win together and become stronger.

After the halftime break, both sides returned to the court.

Neither team made any adjustments at the same time, and the game continued.

In the second half, Manchester United, who was one goal behind, took advantage of the start of the second half just seven or eight minutes to launch a few fierce attacks, but failed to score. Then they quickly regained their defense and returned to the state of the first half.

Ferguson is very experienced. He knows that falling behind with one goal is the most deadly thing. So even if it is a 0l score in the end, Manchester United still has a chance if it is ten minutes left. They only need to score one goal to equalize the score and then drag the score into overtime.

You should know that equalizing the score at the last moment of the game is a huge thrill for the goal side, and a heavy blow for the other side who has been leading before.

Both sides will enter overtime with completely different mentalities, and their performance will be completely different...

So although the score is behind, it can be seen that Manchester United is not in a hurry, but is very calm.

Ferguson's blowing during the intermission was effective.

Benitez naturally knew what Ferguson was going to do, but he didn't push the team out and try to score the second goal. The suspense of ending the game early, and he also made the team play slowly.

Anyway, in the last ten minutes, if Manchester United wants to push forward, then they will fight back, and whoever is afraid of whom when they see it.

With a player like Rongguang, Benitez is not afraid of being equalized by Manchester United at the last moment.

The competition is indeed moving in that direction.

Eighty minutes ago, both sides played quite tepid. As a result, just as the game entered the 80th minute, Manchester United suddenly exerted force and launched a wave of fierce attacks on Manchester City's goal.

But after Glory ran a few dozen meters away, shot with a shot, and Van der Sar used his fingertips to push the ball out of the baseline, Manchester United's attack was obviously not as fierce as before - this was their most painful thing. The score was behind, and there was little time left for the game. If you want to fight to the death, you are likely to die before the fight was successful... A fight to the death is not really about to die, but about showing a desperate momentum, but you still have to survive in the end. If you die in the end, what's the point of fighting?

Manchester United made Glory's speed very annoying, but they couldn't think of a better way.

The same goes for Ferguson.

He can swim with all the offensive players and really die with Manchester City, but does that make sense?

This is just a community shield. If you win, you may not necessarily win the league championship or the Champions League.

To put it bluntly, this is just a relatively formal warm-up match before the season. Are there no substitutions for not watching this game but five?

It really is impossible to fight Manchester City in this game, even if it is a mortal enemy in the same city, it is impossible to deal with it.

The experienced Ferguson looks at it longer-term, not caring about the gains and losses of one city and one place, but looking at the whole season.

So in the end he did not ask the team to fight to the death. Instead, he used up the five players in his hand to replace them. However, the last one to be replaced was the young Italian forward Macheda. How could he put the heavy responsibility of equalizing the score on a new rookie like Macheda? This is clearly to let young players go up and exercise and feel the atmosphere of the formal game...

Finally, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, huge cheers rang out at Wembley Stadium, and these cheers were made by Manchester City fans.

"After the game, Manchester City beat Manchester United 0, and they finally beat Manchester United again in the new season with a header. This is just three months. Manchester City beat Manchester United for the third time. I think it makes even more sense than they won the Community Shield after thirty-six years."

commentator John Mortson said.

"In a sense, Manchester City's strength is safely able to compete with Manchester United. It is worth noting that in this game, David Silva and Sneijder, who Manchester City spent a lot of time to introduce this summer, have not yet made it... and Benitez has not announced that Manchester City's transfer signings have ended here, which means that there may be new players in the future... Manchester City's strength will become stronger. On the other hand, what about Manchester United? After losing Cristiano Ronaldo, the team has not been able to introduce enough players to fill the gap left by him. Ferguson seems to have not found a suitable plan... If you think about it this way, Manchester City may become an excellent disruptor team in this league this year?"

"However, Alan. This is Rong's first official game as the captain of Manchester City. He is about to go on stage to win the trophy of the Community Shield... What do you think about this? Didn't you say before that his captain may cause him to be distracted or lead to a decline in Manchester City's performance? Why didn't you see it at all in this game?" John Motterson asked Alan Hansen, who had just seriously analyzed the two teams.

Alan Hansen didn't expect Motson to mention this at this time. He was stunned for a moment, and then said evasively: "I'm talking about the future, but I didn't say that now, the time is still short, and I can't tell anything. But it's hard to say what's going on in the future. The season is very long... The impact is gradually emerging, and there is no way people can see it from the beginning..."

Just as Alan Hansen was constantly looking for reasons, the award ceremony in the venue had reached its climax.

As the captain of the team, Rongguang walked onto the podium.

First, he lowered his head and hung the gold around his neck, and then he took the square disc, which is the Community Shield Cup

When Glory took over the trophy, a large amount of blue and white paper confetti sprayed from behind the podium, and the chorus of Manchester City fans resounded through the sky.

Manchester City players gathered up and rushed to touch the Community Shield.

We are the champion

When each of them looks at this prize plate, they will think... It's really right to come to Manchester City.

While singing and cheering, Manchester City fans began to think: Is Manchester City's golden age coming?
