Chapter 18 is not easy to integrate

On August 8, the Community Shield struck.

With Manchester United winning the Premier League and FA Cup, the Community Shield will face Leicester City, who are second in the Premier League.

Ancelotti has been frowning a lot lately.

He was thinking about how United's tactics would change with Pogba.

There is no doubt that Paul Pogba is definitely a quality player, as evidenced by the madness of Manchester United and Real Madrid.

But when you have a strong star, how to maximize his strength is something that the manager needs to consider.

The team spent a transfer fee of 120 million, so naturally it will not just want to buy a substitute, so when Pogba joins, Ancelotti will inevitably have to consider Pogba's integration into the team.

......

On a sunny afternoon, Carlo Ancelotti and Ranieri shook hands at Wembley Stadium.

The United fans in the stands looked more relaxed, and although United had only bought one player so far, there was nothing wrong with the team's recruitment – it was Paul Pogba, who is considered the best midfielder of the future.

The Leicester fans weren't too aggressive, sitting in the Wembley stands and waiting for the game to begin, and last season's miraculous second-place finish in the league was already very satisfying – what more could they ask of the team.

Although Leicester City did not perform well in the summer warm-up matches, suffering a 2-4 defeat to Barcelona in the last game, suffering three consecutive defeats and four winless, and two wins, one draw and three defeats in six games in all competitions this summer, the only two wins have been won against weaker teams, and there is no way to fight back against strong Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

In addition, the transfer of key defender N'Golo Kante to Chelsea is a big loss for the team, and there is a question mark over whether Edouard Mendy will be able to replace him. Vardy has shown his loyalty to renew his contract early, but Riyad Mahrez, the Premier League player of the best player last season, has not signed a contract extension with the team, although he is still training with the team, and it is reported that the team has decided to give him a pay rise to keep him in the team.

Leicester City have a lot to do this season, with a lot of work to do on multiple fronts, as well as the Community Shield in the upcoming Premier League and early preparations for European competition.

The Community Shield of England, formerly known as the Charity Shield, was founded in 1908 as the London Shirebber (DeWaal) Shield in 1898. Initially the tournament was held at the end of each season, but later around October each year. In March 2002, the UK Government stated in a report that the FA had breached the rules governing the use of funds when using the proceeds from the Charity Shield. The Charity Shield has since been renamed the Community Shield.

Unlike other cups, the winning team in this event does not receive a trophy, but a trophy shield, so the name of the competition is not called a certain cup.

The Community Shield is not considered by many teams to be an important trophy, and like the so-called "Super Cup" in many countries, the Community Shield is more of an exhibition match for the opening of the new season, and in the eyes of many coaches, it is a warm-up game with a championship nature.

Carlo Ancelotti fielded last season's main players in this game - except for new signing Paul Pogba, all of them were the main players of last season.

Carrick sat on the bench, and the combination of the three players in the midfield became the partner of Kramer, Fellaini and Pogba, Fellaini stood in the middle, Kramer and Pogba were separated on the left and right, and the position was higher, and the United midfield was an inverted triangle position.

The two wingers in the front, Di Maria and Mata, spread out to both sides, widening the width, and at the front was the center forward Li Qingshan.

The backline was also the same as last season's, with goalkeeper David De Gea, right wing-back Valencia, centre-back Hummels partnering Marcos Rojo and left-back Alex Sandro.

On the bench were Carrick, Luke Shaw, Jesse Lingard, Marcus Rashford and others.

On the Leicester side, striker Jamie Vardy returned as scheduled and started the game, with Japanese striker Shinji Okazaki joining him up front.

In the midfield, Mahrez, Drinker Linkwater, Andy Mirror, and Albrighton lined up to form a parallel four-sided midfield, and at the back, the golden combination of right back Simpson, central defender Hut and Morgan, left wing-back Fox, and goalkeeper Schmeichel Jr.

With both sides at their best and both coaches standing on the sidelines with serious expressions, this game can be said to be a preview of the new season, and for Carlo Ancelotti, the problem of Pogba's integration into the team has not been well resolved, and he needs to watch for a while. For Ranieri, Leicester City, with a thin squad, has a very heavy burden in the Champions League in addition to completing the task of the league. It is indeed very difficult for such a small team to play in the Champions League.

From the very beginning of the match, Carlo Ancelotti was in a bad mood.

Once again, Pogba is caught in a solo trap, with no chemistry with the rest of his team-mates and seemingly too confident in his ability to dribble.

The goal was also conceded very quickly.

In the 16th minute, Pogba conceded the ball after being surrounded by opponents.

Although Manchester United's players returned to defense at high speed, it was too late to face Leicester City's high-speed counterattack.

On the edge of the penalty line, Vardy pulled out his foot and fired a fierce shot into the net.

Leicester City lead Manchester United 1-0.

The second goal came quickly, just four minutes later.

It was Pogba who was cut off by the midfielder, Drinkwater immediately passed the ball to the side after breaking the ball, Mahrez took the ball and crossed, and the Japanese striker Shinji Okazaki shook his head and scored the second goal.

Two to zero!!

Ancelotti, who was on the sidelines, had a blue face, and if it weren't for Pogba's pride, he would even want to replace this guy now.

Pogba seemed to be caught in a strange circle in the next game, he desperately wanted to show himself, but was tackled again and again. Fortunately, Manchester United's players also noticed Leicester's defense, and in the first half, United did not concede another goal.

Pogba was substituted at the start of the second half.

It was in the dressing room that Carlo Ancelotti waited until all the players had walked out of the dressing room before walking up to a frustrated Pogba.

"Paul, do you know why we were able to win the treble last season?"

Pogba looked up.

Ancelotti didn't answer either, he tapped Pogba on the shoulder.

"Look at the second half, think about what you can do in this team, don't just think about yourself, we're a team!"
