Chapter 216 Community Shield Cup (1)

So far, Chelsea has made 9 out of 6 in the summer's signing work, and 5 signings have spent 18 million on Jerkov, Sturic's 5 million, Matic's 1.5 million, as well as Turnbull who was free transfer, Pepe who was 12 million and Qin Tian who was 100 million.

Chelsea's profit and loss are more than 90 million, close to 100 million, which is second only to the crazy Real Madrid. According to Abraham's arrangement, Chelsea will basically not have any particularly large expenses in the transfer this summer, but there may be some minor repairs.[]

After observing several warm-up games, head coach Di Matteo also felt that his team was still a versatile player in the frontcourt and was able to play in both positions. Gabriel Obertan of Bordeaux came into his sight. The young player was called the new Henry and could play in multiple positions in the midfield and on both wings. The biggest feature was his speed, so he fully met Di Matteo's requirements, but the current problem is that Manchester United people also took a fancy to this player.

The Bordeaux owner, who was already planning to trade Obertan to Manchester United, after Chelsea suddenly made a kick, perhaps Abu spent a lot of money on Qin Tian, ​​which made his eyes full of the light of the euro. He began to insist that Obertan was the successor they tried their best to train, and belonged to the team's "non-sale product". This is of course a means. The Bordeaux owner wanted to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and whoever bidd was the higher would get it.

This made Ferguson very angry. Several lobbying failed to make the Bordeaux boss let go, and the Manchester United boss was obviously unwilling to spend too much money on such a young player. So after Abraham went to the Bordeaux club in person, Gabriel Obertan's transfer problem was solved.

Then, the young player was announced on Chelsea's official website at the first time, and he came to Stamford Bridge with a net worth of 5 million euros as an important supplement to the team in the midfield and frontcourt. Originally, Obertan had a certain resistance to coming to Chelsea. His original expectation was to join the Red Devils, but the final result was to come to London.

However, after Obertan arrived, Kenyon carefully prepared a fan meeting and media conference for him of a large scale, which made Obertan feel a little flattered. When facing the long spear and short cannons, Obertan also admitted that he felt like he was home here. He would do his best to help the team win every victory under the coach's arrangement.

Although many media believe that this is another winning performance of the Ruble Legion, head coach Di Matteo firmly stated that Obertan's strength is really the last supplementary section he needs, and this French young player will become a sharp knife for the club in the future.

Before we knew it, it was August. During this period, Chelsea also completed two other warm-up matches, defeating Amelic 2:0 and defeating Reading 5:0. Such a warm-up match result was Chelsea's only complete victory in recent summers. In addition to the club's satisfaction, it also made the English media particularly optimistic about Chelsea's new season journey.

As the pace of the new Premier League season gets closer, each team is completing their preparations in an orderly manner, but before the start, Chelsea still has an important game. As the FA Cup champion last season, Chelsea club will play a Community Shield Cup match at the Millennium Stadium and last season's league champion Manchester United.

The Community Shield Cup, also known as the Charity Shield Cup, is a competition hosted by the FA England FA. According to the qualifications of both parties to the competition, it is the same as the "Level Cup" that started before the season of other national leagues. If the two champions are the same team, according to the rules, the league runner-up and the FA Cup champion will be changed to the league runner-up.

At the beginning of the game, the FA was not valued by everyone because of the poor quality of the game. The FA also arranged for the end of each season, and knew that the dishes were changed to pre-season in 1959.

As for him, also known as the Charity Shield, it is because the ticket revenue of this game is used for charity, and the beneficiaries are designated by both parties in the game. From 1974 to 2000, a total of 5 million pounds of charity funds were raised. It was not until 2002 that the name was changed to the Community Shield, mainly because the funds were finally used to improve community conditions.

Regarding this event, there was a very evil "curse" a long time ago, that is, any team that won the Community Shield Cup championship will lose the league championship in the new season. Dating back to history, this curse first began in 1997 and was fulfilled for eight consecutive years.

Some experts once laughed and said that the Cantona era and the 1992 Golden Generation Manchester United team were invincible, and they once completed the three-year Premier League championship in 1998-99, 99-00,00-01. Is it because Manchester United lost three consecutive years in 1998, 199, 2000. What's even more strange is that Manchester United won the 1997-199, and then handed over the championship to the Gunners Arsenal in the Premier League in 1997-1998.

After the Charity Shield was renamed the Community Shield, Arsenal, who won the championship that year, thought the "curse" had disappeared, but an accident happened. Manchester United, who performed averagely in the first half of the season, miraculously seized food from Arsenal's tiger's mouth with his strong performance in the second half.

In the summer of that year, Beckham left Manchester United, but the passionate Manchester United won the Community Shield in the summer. But soon in the new season, Arsenal showed everyone what the "forty-nine unbeaten" myth is, and the Premier League champion was won without any suspense.

In 2004, the Community Shield Curse still reappeared, Arsenal defeated Manchester United, but at the end of the season, the world only remembered one team, Abram's "Rubleith" Chelsea.

Just when everyone thought that the spell of the Community Shield would not be cracked, the madman Mourinho firmly said no. In the summer after winning the championship, they won the championship of the Community Shield, and when the title was successfully defended, the aura of the magical aura was overshadowed in front of the more magical magic birds.

Immediately in 2007, after Manchester United led by Ferguson defeated Chelsea, the defending league champion of the season. The same situation happened in 2008, and it was the Red Devils Manchester United. So far, the curse about the Community Shield disappeared and could only become a topic that fans talk about after dinner.

When Qin Tian first heard this topic, he showed great interest. His expression was completely a professional expression of a gossiper, which made Lampard laugh and cry. After being proud of his team's history, Qin Tian also cooperated with Mourinho very much. Although the madman is indeed crazy, he is crazy with capital and capable.

The Millennium Stadium is located in Cardiff, the capital of Wales. It is the National Stadium of Wales. It is mainly used in the national main stadium of the British Rugby Federation and the international rugby events.

It was once the largest stadium in the UK, capable of accommodating 74,500 spectators, with an open-close roof, and now has 82,000 seats in the back, which is now rated as a five-star football stadium.

When Chelsea arrived here, it was around 4 pm. At this moment, there were quite a few fans outside the stadium. The season had not yet begun. The long offseason had already suppressed the fans' desire for football games to the extreme. So after seeing the Chelsea bus, both Manchester United fans and Chelsea fans showed their enthusiasm.

Outside the car window, Qin Tian saw many British Chinese or Chinese living in the UK, and international students were all wearing uniforms with Qin Tian’s number. After seeing Qin Tian, ​​his brother seemed very excited. For them, Chelsea won the championship with the championship, but it didn’t matter if they couldn’t. Anyway, everyone is watching Qin Tian’s performance. As long as Qin Tian performs well, it’s OK.

When I saw that many fans outside the window were Qin Tian’s fans, Pepe, who was sitting next to Qin Tian, ​​also said jealously, "I didn’t expect you to be so popular in England."

"No, you have a lot of them. Look at the aunt opposite, damn, I printed your avatar in front of my heart. How much I love you," Qin Tian said, pointing to a woman not far away.

"Where, where?" Ozil, who was sitting in front, stood up and looked out the window, "Pepe, the fans you attract are indeed heavy-tasting, tsk tsk."

"I was so angry that I was angry" Pepe immediately clamped Ozil's head with his arm and threatened loudly, "Let you say, you are the one who is heavy."

The other Chelsea players in the car had long been laughing and fell back and forth, with Drogba and Essin whistling at Pepe.

When I entered the stadium for warm-up, the Thousand Years Stadium was occupied by the fans of the two teams, one red and one blue, each occupying half of the country. The crowds were everywhere, and the liveliness of almost caught up with the Champions League and the league, which surprised Qin Tian very much, "Frank, didn't you say that such a game is not valued by everyone? Why are you now..."

"It's normal. After such a long offseason, these fans have been in the army for three years. When they see women, they think they are beautiful women. They are hungry," Frank said indifferently while crossing the ball.

This explanation is very powerful? Qin Tian gave Lampard a blank look, "This guy is just a reluctant man."

Without warming up for a long time, Manchester United players also arrived. The fans at the scene, especially the red ocean, immediately surged, with a very amazing momentum. The Red Devils fans shouted loudly about the names of each player, of course Wayne Rooney the one who shouted the most. After Rooney C-Royce transferred to Real Madrid, Manchester United's flag of the new season naturally became Rooney. Whether it is the fans or the club, they hope that Rooney will shoulder the burden of winning the team.

Seeing the performance of Manchester United fans, Chelsea fans naturally were unwilling to fall behind and also sang the team song loudly to fight against the Red Devils.

Competition is not just on the court!
