Chapter 1075: The Gap

What made the Chelsea players despair more than the two-goal deficit was the way they conceded the goals.

The first goal conceded was Ibrahimovic passing the football to Glory, and the second goal conceded was Glory passing the football to Ibrahimovic.

This fully shows that the two of them have been connected.

That's the scariest thing.

Many of the reporters in the media gallery were silent.

What they all want to see before the game is that Ibrahimovic and Rong Guang don't pass the ball to each other in the game, don't cooperate, and play completely separately.

In that case, even if Rongguang and Ibrahimovic are outstanding, it will be useless.

But now, Rongguang and Ibrahimovic have released their previous suspicions, and the two of them have passed the ball to each other and are connected!

Those two goals were undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face to journalists who insisted that the bad relationship between Glory and Ibrahimovic would affect Manchester City's table......

And among these two goals, it was Ibrahimovic who assisted Rongguang first, and Rongguang assisted Ibrahimovic with the second goal!

How could these journalists, who claim to know Ibrahimovic very well, wonder why the Swedes, who have always been arrogant, would take the initiative to assist Glory?

Hasn't he always claimed to defeat Glory? It was enough for them to be surprised that they were willing to transfer to Manchester City, where Glory is located, and to be teammates with Glory, and now they are willing to be green leaves to set off Glory's many red flowers......

Why, exactly?

※※※

The reporters in the media gallery were full of question marks.

Ibrahimovic in the stadium was enjoying the game.

This is the first time he has played against Rongguang.

He then discovered why so many players are willing to come to Manchester City now...... Of course, some of them came for Manchester City's money, but some of them really didn't do it for the money.

It's really comfortable to play in a team with Glory.

Because they are both high-level players, the thought circuits are all in the same realm, and he knows very well what the other party wants to do, and he also knows what he wants to do.

In this way, there will be a sense of smoothness when combined.

It's a very comfortable feeling.

For example, after the first ball, after holding the ball with his back, if he wants to play hard, it will be very difficult and tiring, but now he only needs to flick the football to the side, and he knows that someone will definitely come up to catch it. Sure enough, the glory appeared over there, and the next thing that happened was logical.

If your teammates don't give you the best and don't think about it so much, you pass the ball to it, and it's just a white pass, because no one can catch it.

Another example is this ball just now. When Glory breaks through a series of changes of direction on the wing, most people's eyes will stay on Glory and watch him perform alone, whether it is the fans or the Manchester City players.

However, Ibrahimovic decisively chose to cut forward into the box and ran to the goal. His off-the-ball movement paid off, too, and by the time he got there, the ball was already in full swing, and he was even able to calmly stop the ball and shoot again when he was unmarked.

Although Ibrahimovic has always regarded defeating Rongguang as his goal, he has to admit in his heart that it is very cool to be teammates with Rongguang......

When City took a two-goal lead in the opening 12 minutes and Glory was linked to Ibrahimovic, the Community Shield was in a sense over.

In the next game, Manchester City, who established the victory, played with ease and not at a fast pace. No more emphasis on scoring goals.

They were more upside down and played possession.

And Chelsea's morale is not high.

Thinking about it, when they face Glory and Ibrahimovic, they can't help but wonder if Glory (Ibrahimovic) will pass the ball to Ibrahimovic (Glory) this time.

When they start thinking like that, it becomes very difficult to defend Glory or Ibrahimovic.

Because these two guys are opponents who you can get a little distracted in defense and can be caught by them to break through......

For the rest of the game, Manchester City were firmly in control.

Benitez began to make substitutions.

Although the Community Shield is a Super Cup-like competition, it has as many as six substitutions.

This makes the game look more like a warm-up game.

In the past, the accolades of the Community Shield were not too important, but now, it has become a game that many coaches use to pile up honours. So the competition for the Community Shield is becoming more and more fierce.

Especially Manchester City. As a newly rising team, Manchester City are very serious about the Community Shield.

It's also a championship honor.

Manchester City now need the title.

※※※

Benitez started making substitutions when he thought he had won, and he grabbed a chance to grind in on the lineup.

Sneijder and David Silva were substituted.

In the frontcourt, Manchester City's attacking lineup is basically the strongest.

After Sneijder came on the pitch, Manchester City's attack no longer relied solely on the cooperation of Glory and Ibrahimovic, and Sneijder took over the task of organizing the attack. However, this made City's attack more difficult to defend.

In the fiftieth minute, City scored another goal. It wasn't glory or Ibrahimovic who scored this time, but David Silva.

At 3:0, Manchester City completely sealed the victory with 40 minutes left in the game.

Benitez then started to give more players a chance to play, making the game look more like a warm-up game......

Carlo Ancelotti also began to give a number of players who had only joined the team this season a chance to play after discovering that there was no hope of winning.

The two sides teamed up to completely turn this game into a warm-up match and a friendly match.

Ibrahimovic was substituted in the 76th minute, while Glory was substituted in the 83rd minute.

In such a game, in the case of winning, there is really no need to let the two main players waste their bodies, and continuing to stay on the court also increases the risk of injury.

In the end, Manchester City beat Chelsea 3-0 at the new Wembley Stadium to claim their first title of the new season, and they also defended the Community Shield.

It's a great start to the new season.

However, after the game, the main concern was not Manchester City's defending of the Community Shield, but what Manchester City showed in this game.

In addition to the individuals who are still strong, Manchester City's overall strength has gone to the next level.

In addition, the combination of glory and Ibrahimovic is also what everyone is most concerned about.

In his post-match press conference, Benitez answered questions from reporters.

'We've had this tactic in training. Zlatan Ibrahimovic passes the ball proudly in the box...... He did a great job, as you can see in this game. I know there are a lot of rumors about them, but I'll say it's just rumors, they get along very well, very nice......"

Such an answer can really make many people believe that the two people really have a good relationship.

However, none of the reporters present were fuel-efficient lamps, so they naturally did not take Benitez's answer lightly.

They didn't believe that Ibrahimovic and Rongguang would laugh at each other so easily. Let's just say Ibrahimovic, he is not such a person.

But what if they don't believe it?

So far, neither Glory nor Ibrahimovic has given an explanation for this change, and it seems that they do not intend to explain. To uncover the truth behind the story, it is necessary to persevere and diligently explore, and perhaps at some point in the future, they will accidentally uncover a corner of the truth of all the stories......

I just don't know what their expressions will be if they really know the truth......

※※※

Carlo Ancelotti admitted the defeat after the game, but he was frustrated by the defeat: "What can I say when Wing and Ibrahimovic pass the ball to each other? ”

Last season went on until the end, but Chelsea failed to win the league title and only won the FA Cup once. But for Abramovich, this is absolutely not satisfying him.

Didn't he invite Ancelotti to come because of Ancelotti's ability to lead the team to win the championship, especially the Champions League?

He won two Champions Leagues after accepting AC Milan, and there are not many managers who have won two Champions Leagues in European football.

As a result, Chelsea had a mediocre performance in the Champions League last season and were unable to win against Manchester City in the league.

Now you can't even win a match like the Community Shield.

And in the process of losing to Manchester City, Chelsea's performance was not good, and Chelsea basically did not have the strength to fight back in front of Manchester City.

Abramovich believes that with Chelsea's quality, it should not be so bad.

In terms of the number of stars and fame, Chelsea are probably better than Manchester City.

Although Manchester City has been in the limelight in the past two years, after all, the time to rise is still too short, and Chelsea has accumulated it.

He was unhappy with Carlo Ancelotti's performance in the Community Shield, believing that Ancelotti had given up the game too early after his team was three goals down.

He wanted Chelsea to fight to the last man, but Carlo Ancelotti didn't show it. At this time, he suddenly missed Mourinho, who was driven away by himself......

At the very least, Mourinho's team is still bloody.

Now Mourinho has won the treble at Inter Milan, and has gone to Real Madrid to reach the peak of his coaching career.

Although the new season has only just begun, Abramovich has already made him miss Mourinho and think about changing the manager......
