324 Red Devils Derby

After the old mad gang moved out of London, changed the name of the club to Milton Keynes Keynes Football Club this year, AFC Wimbledon with the help of Xiao Yu, applied with the FA, and after a series of operations, finally got the title of Wimbledon Football Club, and the crazy gang fans named this new team the new mad gang!

Wimbledon's rented stadium was full of 5,000 fans for the match against the Red Rebels, and last year, their home attendance was also quite hot, and Xiao Yu suggested in a conversation with Samuelson and others that they should build a new stadium, which is expected to cost £4 million and have a capacity of 10,000 people, and could be expanded again.

Xiao Yu personally donated 2 million pounds, the Red Rebels will also donate 1 million pounds to the Crazy Gang, and the remaining 1 million pounds will be raised by the members of the Crazy Gang, the new stadium will be completed in 2 years, and the training base of the Crazy Gang is also being built, and the Red Rebels will also help the Crazy Gang improve the academy.

In fact, with Xiao Yu and the Red Rebels' current financial resources, they can completely help the Crazy Gang build this stadium and training base, but Xiao Yu feels that it is not interesting, and it is easy to give people the illusion of controlling the Crazy Gang, so Xiao Yu's support for the Crazy Gang has always been only to pay money, and he doesn't ask anything at all.

Despite the fact that he has the title of Vice Chairman of the Berserk on his head, the Berserk is also one of the satellite clubs of the Red Rebels.

In addition to the Furious Gang, the expansion of the Butcher's Knife Stadium has been completed and the team's academy is doing well, all with the help of the Red Rebels.

Xiao Yu would like to see Droysden and Crazy Wimbledon enter the Premier League one after another, so that there are three closely related teams in the Premier League, although they do not play match-fixing, but they also take care of each other to some extent.

Like other warm-up games, in the warm-up game against the crazy Wimbledon, Mourinho also replaced most of the starting players when he was leading 0-1 at half-time, in order to test the substitutes.

In the end, the score of this warm-up game was 0:2, and the Red Rebels were once again questioned by the outside world, believing that the team did not show the momentum of last year against the teams in the amateur league, and Beckham did not play the role that a superstar should have, and several passing errors reflected that he was out of place with the team.

This is also a problem that Mourinho is more concerned about, so after returning to Manchester from London, the Red Rebels immediately adopted closed training to the outside world, and the Newton Heath training base suddenly became a forbidden area for all the media, even Scarlett, who is most closely related to the Red Rebels? Elan couldn't get any clues from the team.

It should be said that Mourinho's focus on Beckham's integration into the team's closed training still played a role, but in this Newton Heath Cup game, Droysden sat at home and performed equally well, putting the Red Rebels under tremendous pressure throughout the game, especially their full-court forced defence.

Jose Mourinho played a front four of Didier Drogba, Ronaldo, Palacio and Kaka in this game, with David Beckham and Essien at the back and Patrice Evra, John Terry, Curtis and Kolo at the back from left to right. Toure, goalkeeper Petr Cech, is also expected to be the main squad for the Red Rebels this season.

The only suspense is Arjen Robben, the Dutchman has also performed well in the warm-up games, but he has had a bit of a foot injury recently, so Mourinho did not let him start, but as the season progresses, he is likely to be one of the main wingers.

David Beckham's performance in this game was better than before, especially in the combination of team-mates, two accurate long balls almost assisted his team-mates to score, and there were also wonderful combinations with Kaka and Ronaldo, especially with Kaka, who played Droisdon's defenders in a brilliant back-to-back in the first half.

However, the game still failed to score in the end, although the Red Rebels took the initiative in the whole game, but luck was never on the team's side, and the final 0-0 ended in the Newton Heath Cup, which was also the first draw in the Newton Heath Cup in recent years.

…………………… Manchester United returned from training in the United States at the same time as the Newton Heath Cup, they also welcomed opponents Sporting Lesbon at Old Trafford, which was supposed to be the decision to move to Manchester United, but in the end Ferguson did not see his desired target.

Quaresma had a mediocre performance in the game and there were no impressive spectacles, and United were rumoured to be interested in him, but Ferguson was clearly not prepared to take him to Old Trafford and are currently in full swing on Barca's Puyol, for which he has offered a hefty £14 million price.

After Laporta came to power, after a series of reinforcements and efforts, Barcelona is currently in debt of up to 164 million pounds, and the heavy debt burden makes Barcelona have to consider the team's offer for players, but Puyol is a local star that Barcelona focuses on cultivating, can play right-back and central defender, and occupies a very important weight in Rijkaard's plan.

In addition to Puyol, Manchester United are also looking to package £20 million to bring in Ajax number one star Van der Vaart and right-back Trabelsi. Neville is injured and will miss the first few games of the Premier League season.

However, although the squad is incomplete, Manchester United's warm-up results are very good, successively beating Celtic, Juventus and Barcelona, scoring 11 goals in three warm-up games, but conceding only 2 goals, very much the style of the Red Devils Manchester United in the peak period, Ferdinand and Silvestre The center-back partnership is also reassuring.

On the other hand, the Red Rebels, the warm-up opponents are not strong teams, but the results are very disappointing, which is not at all the performance that last year's European Treble should have, and the fans who had high hopes for the Red Rebels before also seemed to be poured cold water.

Some people believe that Manchester United will decide the league title within two months after the start of the league, because this year's Manchester United is still strong despite the loss of David Beckham and Veron, as can be seen from the repeated opponents in the warm-up games.

At the press conference before the Community Shield, when reporters threw the question to Red Rebels manager Jose Mourinho, the latter couldn't help but laugh.

........................ "Maybe it's true, as you say, Manchester United can decide the league title in two months, but that's the league, at least I don't think they're doing anything in this Community Shield!" ”

A reporter immediately raised his hand, "Do you think your team can beat Manchester United?" ”

"Of course, why are we here, Mr. Reporter?" Mourinho sneered, as if mocking the journalist's stupidity in question.

"Mr Mourinho, I think I need to remind you that your team's results in the warm-up games are terrible, everyone knows that Beckham's best position is at right midfield, he plays this position both in the national team and at Manchester United, but you let him play in the midfield, he is 28 years old!"

Mourinho smiled even more proudly, "First of all, it was a warm-up game, should the warm-up game also be counted in the league standings?" As for David Beckham, I don't think he's having any problem playing at the back, he's getting better and better, you don't see that Alex Ferguson has recently transformed Silvestre into a centre-back, and he has changed his recklessness in the past, and he has performed very well! ”

Mourinho's words simply put himself on the same level as Ferguson to evaluate, which immediately caused an uproar among many reporters at the scene.

"Ferguson's opponents are Juventus and Barcelona, but who are your opponents?" Some reporters were sarcastic.

Mourinho was thick-skinned, stood up with a smile, pointed at the reporter and said: "My current opponent is Manchester United, I will prove in this game what I said, Manchester United is not too strong to be invincible!" ”

After speaking, he didn't care whether the press conference was over or not, turned around and left.

In another place, Ferguson faced one question after another from reporters, and he began to answer it patiently, but when the question touched on the grievances between the Red Rebels and Manchester United, and touched on the transfer turmoil of Beckham, Ferguson immediately pulled his face down and left the press conference in anger.

…………………… Although both sides of the game deliberately avoided team grievances and avoided causing psychological pressure on the players, outside, fans had already played up the game in the streets.

Originally, the Community Shield was a charity match, formerly known as the Charity Shield, which was equivalent to a friendly match, and both sides didn't take this game too seriously, but this year is different.

It has been 5 years since the Red Rebels defected from Manchester United, and in the past five years, the Red Rebels have been making great progress, rising to the Premier League every year, and is known as the fastest team to rise to the top league in the history of English professional football.

The Red Rebels and Manchester United have a long history of grievances, from Edwards' bombardment of Xiao Yu to Beckham's defection to the Red Devils to the Red Rebels, this series of grievances has created a complicated relationship between the two sides, especially the fans, many fans still maintain the habit of watching the Red Rebels on Saturday and Manchester United on Sunday.

However, in the past five years, the Red Rebels have performed very well in the cup competitions, and they have indeed encountered many Premier League teams, such as bitter rivals Arsenal, but so far, the Red Rebels have not met Manchester United.

The Community Shield is the first time in the history of the Red Rebels that they have faced Manchester United, and it was also at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

It was a game that will go down in history, and both the Red Rebels fans and the Red Devils fans paid a great deal of attention to the game, even if the team itself deliberately ignored it, but the fans almost went crazy about it.

Both Sky TV and the BBC will focus on the live broadcast of the game, and the Red Devils derby has also been followed by fans in Europe and around the world, attracting the attention of countless TV stations, who have decided to broadcast the game live.

The Premier League and the FA are also very serious about this game, and the Red Rebels have risen to the top with the aura of the European Treble, making it impossible for them to ignore the feud between the Red Rebels and Manchester United, and the Community Shield is just a warm-up before the league, which seems insignificant, but this is the first time in the history of the Red Rebels against Manchester United.

The Europa League has not yet started, and the Community Shield, which was not taken seriously, has become a hot cup match because of the legendary surname of the Red Devils derby, which has become insignificant in previous years, and fans around the world are paying attention to what kind of scene the Red Rebels who have just won Beckham will meet Manchester United.

Who will win this game between the two sides?
