Manchester United's dynasty collapsed!

The Red Rebels' counterattack!

…… The next day, almost all of Europe's sports newspapers ran a sensational headline about yesterday's under-appreciated Community Shield.

Many experts believe that in this game, Manchester United was almost beaten by the Red Rebels without temper and was suppressed throughout the game, which is difficult to imagine for Manchester United, which has always been known for its tenacity, but it happened in real time, and it happened so suddenly.

So much so that many experts believe that Manchester United only lost 2 goals in this game, which is already very good, if the Red Rebels players are a little more capable of seizing opportunities, or the American goalkeeper Howard performs a little worse, then the Red Rebels can at least pour 5 goals into Manchester United.

Is this still the defending champions Manchester United?

This is a common appeal from pundits, because after letting Beckham and Veron go, Ferguson has not been able to find an exciting replacement from the transfer market, Kleberson? He does have some quality, but he can't replace David Beckham's role on the right side of midfield, and he's not the kind of player who can change a team.

The day after the Reds conceded goal, a group of Red Devils fans organized a demonstration outside Old Trafford to chant "Give me back Beckham", because Beckham was the best player in the Community Shield.

In the past, whenever David Beckham was voted Man of the Match, Manchester United fans were very excited, but this time, they felt a pain in their hearts, especially when they watched Beckham wear the Red Rebels shirt, it hurt even more!

Even Manchester United die-hard loyalty, the feelings for the Red Rebels are very complicated, this is a team that people can't hate, but they have risen strongly in recent years, but Manchester United has lost the madness of the Red Devils back then, and this year is a frequent failure.

Standing in his office at Old Trafford, watching the fans below demonstrate, Ferguson had his own problems.

When Veron was introduced, Ferguson had received intimidation from the board of directors, and this was the last time, because with the salary increase of the big names in the team, the team must open up sources and reduce expenditure, and the best way is to operate healthily, coupled with Veron's failure in the Premier League, Ferguson has been clearly told that when introducing big-name stars, Ferguson will lose decision-making power and must be submitted to the board of directors for decision.

This is undoubtedly Kenyon's restriction on Ferguson, because Veron's transfer to Manchester United cost the team 28 million pounds, but the value of selling to Chelsea is only 15 million pounds, and the loss of 13 million pounds in two years has annoyed Manchester United's board of directors, which claims to be independent and healthy.

And one more interesting thing.

A month before Beckham's transfer, the market came out with the news of Beckham's transfer, and Manchester United's stock price rose sharply, but after Beckham's low-cost transfer, Manchester United's stock price shrank seriously, and that's it, when Veron transferred, Manchester United's stock price fell again, if nothing else, because Veron's value shrank by 13 million pounds when he transferred.

How long will it take for United to recoup the £13 million, as well as the loss in share price?

Ferguson doesn't know how to operate, he doesn't pay attention to this, the only thing he knows is that he no longer has the decision-making power to bring in big names, and he can no longer buy and sell the players he likes as he wants, including Ronaldinho and Hleb.

Those vampire directors don't care about football at all, they only care if Manchester United can create value for them, whether Manchester United's stock price has fallen or risen, but as everyone knows, the stock price of football clubs around the world is also worth Manchester United, why?

Just because Manchester United is running a football club in the same way as a listed company, chasing profits!

…………………… At the Newton Heath training base, the Red Rebels' preparations were still in an orderly manner, and they were not at all complacent about their victory over Manchester United in the Community Shield, nor did they relax because they got the season off to a good start.

The Red Rebels, who won the FA Cup last season, will play directly in the official first round of the UEFA Cup this season, rather than starting in the qualifiers like Manchester City, who won the Fair Play Award and qualified for the League Cup, so the Red Rebels' UEFA Cup competition starts at the end of September.

Due to the FA's rules, all Premier League teams participating in European competitions can play directly from the third round of the English League Cup, so the Red Rebels, as a promotion horse, won this honor very eye-catching and directly entered the third round of the League Cup.

As a result, the Red Rebels have only six games to play in August, including four Premier League games, one Community Shield match and a UEFA Super Cup match against AC Milan, which is scheduled for 29 August at the Stade Louis II in Monaco.

The Red Rebels' four league opponents at the start of the season are Charlton Athletic, Blackburn Rovers at home, Manchester United away and Portsmouth at home.

Since the Red Rebels and Manchester United share the Old Trafford stadium, the FA will accommodate these two teams in the schedule and make certain adjustments, not allowing both teams to play at home in the same round of the league, or both playing away, and try to arrange one to play at home and one away.

For these four opponents in the early stage of the league, the Red Rebels have long paid close attention, not only these four teams, but also the other 19 teams in the Premier League except for the Red Rebels are closely watched by the Red Rebels.

As a promoted horse, the Red Rebels know every opponent as thoroughly as possible, because only by understanding the opponent can you defeat him!

…………………… Charlton Athletic, as a traditional team in the English top flight, entered the Premier League century after entering the Premier League, Charlton lingered in League One for many years, and did not return to the Premier League until the 98-99 season, but that season they finished 18th in the league and were relegated to League One again.

The following year, however, they won the League One title again and were promoted to the top of the Premier League, and they have been there ever since.

Charlton's strength in the Premier League has always lagged behind, they lack funds, can only reuse English local players, even the style of play is traditional English style of play, more than momentum, but lack of change, once they meet a team with strong control ability, Charlton can often only reap heavy defeats.

Charlton has spent almost nothing on reinforcements this season, the only money they have spent is £750,000 on Haaland from Ipswich, and others such as Italian stars Di Canio and Carlton? Players such as Kerr either went on free transfers or loanes, and they didn't cost them a penny.

Among the departing players, Charlton also did not receive a transfer fee.

Of course, Charlton Athletic is not the least expensive team in the Premier League, Leeds United, Leicester City, Middlesbrough and Bolton Wanderers have not made much movement, and even Newcastle, who are determined to break into the first group, have only moved freely from relegated West Ham to bad boy Bowyer.

With teams in the Premier League struggling to see how embarrassed teams in other leagues are in this world, Chelsea's golden dollar is undoubtedly undeniable for these teams.

Chelsea are still waving their cheques and are hoping to bring in a number of stars, including Juventus midfielders Davies and Thuram, as well as Crespo and Veron, who have already been the brightest focus in the transfer market.

The Red Rebels have a knack for dealing with a team like Charlton Athletic who lacks control, as they have used this kind of control tactic in the lower leagues, and they used it to beat their opponents against Celtic in last season's UEFA Cup final.

Now, Jose Mourinho has once again applied this tactic to Charlton.

If you look at it from the perspective of later generations, the starting line-up for the Red Rebels' first Premier League game against Charlton Athletic is undoubtedly a star-studded one, and there is probably no team in the world that can match the Red Rebels.

Didier Drogba up front, Ronaldo Jr. and Palacio on the wingers, Kaka up front, David Beckham and Essien at the back, Patrice Evra, John Terry, Curtis and Kolo at the back from left to right? Toure, goalkeeper is Cech.

It doesn't matter, look at the bench, McConn, Nemanjac Vidic, De Rossi, Arjen Robben and Villa, which of these five substitutes is not a star-studded superstar in the coming years, but in today's Red Rebels, they can only be used as substitutes.

However, the Red Rebels' main lineup is also very strong, and Beckham's performance in the team is getting better and better, especially in terms of cooperation with teammates and control of the game, he is more and more integrated into his role.

Defensively has Essien, who only needs to be responsible for organising and attacking, and then giving appropriate assistance, which greatly brings out Beckham's potential.

Against Charlton, the Red Rebels were in control of the field from beginning to end, Charlton simply could not withstand the almost unreasonable tide of attacks of the Red Rebels, they were breached in the opening less than a minute, and the first half was 0-3 down, with Palacio, Kaka and Drogba scoring a goal each.

Charlton did improve defensively after the break and did withstand the onslaught of the Red Rebels for a while, but in the end they were able to prevent a rout.

Palacio received two assists from Kaka and David Beckham in the second half to score his first hat-trick since joining the club, helping the team beat Charlton Athletic 5-0 to get the league off to a flying start.

However, the Red Rebels are not the most popular team in the first round of the Premier League, Blackburn Rovers played promoted Leicester City at home, and Chelsea beat Liverpool 1-2 with goals from Veron and Hasselbaink.

Manchester United, who hosted Bolton at Old Trafford, also swept away the Community Shield, beating 4-0, while Arsenal won 2-1 at home to David Moyes' Everton.

In this way, after the first round of the Premier League that lasted for two days, Blackburn Rovers ranked first in the league on goal difference, which also made Blackburn excited for a long time, and they finally tasted the top of the standings.

The Red Rebels came in second, followed by Manchester United.

However, everyone knows that the ranking in the first round of the league is nothing, and the real test is still in the long season, who can better ensure their condition, who can get better results.

Sure enough, in the second round of the league, Violent Ben visited Old Trafford, and after a week's rest, they were obviously in good shape, and they were confident that they wanted to get three points again on the promoted horses and defend their top position in the league, but the Red Rebels made them clearly understand what the gap is.
