Chapter 275 The most watched Community Shield ever

With the arrival of the World Cup.

All football news gives way to the World Cup.

About signings, about the new season.

Everything seemed to be suspended.

until
France won the 2018 World Cup.

The French team, with Kante, Pogba and Griezmann as the core of the midfield and Mbappe as the attacker, successfully won the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Chinese media outlets are joking: Yang Guang’s Golden Globe Award is now secure.

And with the end of the World Cup.

The league has re-entered the fans' field of vision.

The focus of media attention.

It also shifted from the World Cup to the league.

Liverpool's signings are proceeding in an orderly manner.

"According to our report, Liverpool FC and Bayern Munich FC have reached an agreement, and Swiss player Shaqiri will wear the Red Army jersey in the new season"

“.Liverpool and Real Madrid have reached an agreement. Real Madrid B-team players Odegaard and Ashraf will join Liverpool on loan. It is said that the loan contract contains a buyout option and a high-profit transfer clause.”

".Ashraf said in an interview with the media that he flew from Madrid to Liverpool at the call of his good friend Sunshine. He made the decision without a second of hesitation when he received the call from Sunshine."

".The World Cup is over and all the major clubs have entered the pre-season. The International Champions Cup North America is underway. Liverpool has defeated Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus in succession and won the International Champions Cup North America trophy. Perhaps Liverpool fans can be happy because they have already won their first championship trophy of the new season."

".Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois has moved to Real Madrid. What worries Chelsea fans is that their replacement target Alisson is getting closer and closer to Liverpool. It is reported that Alisson's plane has taken off in Rome and his destination is Liverpool!"

“.Liverpool officially announced that Alisson has signed with the team. Chelsea turned to pursue Spanish goalkeeper Kepa”

Inside Chelsea's training base.

Chelsea's new coach Sarri was holding a cigarette and puffing out smoke.

Sarri, a heavy smoker, almost never puts down his cigarette.

But at this time.

In the midst of smoke,
The Italian coach frowned slightly.

He really wants Alisson.

However.
In terms of attractiveness.

Chelsea now.

Not as good as Liverpool.

After all, the opponent is the defending champion of the Champions League and seems to be on the rise.

Chelsea
Uncertain future.

but.

In Sarri's opinion.

Chelsea's squad is very strong.

Kante, Kovacic, Jorginho.

Few clubs in the world of football can match this midfield configuration.

Frontcourt.

The trident of William, Morata and Hazard.

He is a little bit behind Liverpool's Mane, Sunshine and Salah - mainly in the center position.

But this is not Chelsea's problem either.

In the center position in the world, who can compare with Liverpool?

Chelsea's defense is also strong.

Azipi, Caquetá, Luiz, Rudiger, Alonso.

Is this line of defense not competitive in the Premier League?
The only weakness is the goalkeeper.

Courtois went to Real Madrid crying and shouting.

The only goalkeeper available to Chelsea now is Caballero.

so.
Just strengthen the goalkeeper position.

Chelsea has great potential in the new season.

Sarri is full of confidence in his future as Chelsea manager.

He called Chelsea's top management.

"We need a goalkeeper, a top goalkeeper."

"That's our only weakness."

Sarri hangs up the phone.

he thinks.

Chelsea needs to prove themselves to the top management in the Community Shield.

Let’s start by beating Liverpool and winning the Community Shield.

The new season is getting closer.

As in all Premier League seasons.

The Community Shield, a traditional event, is a warm-up for the new season.

The opponents in the Community Shield are last season's Premier League champions and last season's FA Cup champions.

This year's opponents are Liverpool vs. Chelsea.

In this game, the fans didn't have too many expectations about the outcome.

Because this is just a warm-up cup match, similar to the Super Cup of other leagues.

But because the Sunshine had already made it clear at the end of last season.

They want to win the "Seven Crowns".

And to get seven championships.

The Community Shield is naturally one of the trophies.

therefore.

This year's Community Shield is a little special.

Because this is the first "cup competition" that Liverpool will participate in before the start of the new season where they can win the championship - next they will also participate in the European Super Cup, which is in the middle of the week after the first round of the Premier League. The opponent is Atletico Madrid. After this game, UEFA will hold the group draw for the new season's Champions League and Europa League, as well as a series of awards for last season's Champions League.

".The Community Shield is coming soon. Sunshine's seven-time champion declaration at the end of last season has given this year's Community Shield a different meaning. If Liverpool loses to Chelsea in the end, Liverpool's morale will probably be dampened before the new season officially begins."

".The words have been spoken. If they are slapped in the face at the beginning of the season, where will Liverpool's reputation and Sunshine's reputation be?"

The media will not hype this matter in the future.

They enjoy watching the fun and don't mind making trouble.

Can Liverpool win seven titles?

This is the first step.

It all depends on whether we can beat Chelsea.

and so.

For fans of other Premier League teams.

Chelsea.

Now it is highly anticipated and watched.

You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders.

"Come on Chelsea!"

"On Community Shield day, I will be supporting Chelsea."

"Seven crowns? What a joke!"

"Chelsea made a complete joke of them."

Fans of other teams left messages on the Internet.

A media conducted an online survey.

In the Community Shield match.

Do you support blue or red?
result.

The proportion supporting red is as high as 93%!

The vast majority of fans.

It’s not even just Premier League fans.

Many fans of Championship teams and League One teams came to join in the fun.

This has led to such a huge disparity in proportion.

This is also normal.

After all, Liverpool was the champion last season.

Liverpool won the Premier League title.

Then they are the ones who stick their heads out.

It is the object of challenge for every team.

Just like those times when Manchester United dominated the Premier League.

Just start a poll asking "Which team do you hate the most?"

Then Manchester United must be at the top of the list.

When the England national team plays at Wembley.

One of the reserved programs for the fans at the scene.

There will inevitably be people who will start to cheer: If you hate Manchester United, please stand up and cheer.

then.

It was thunderous cheers, even louder than when England scored a goal.

This shows the image of Manchester United in the eyes of other Premier League teams.

Who has won more Premier League titles than all other teams combined? Who are the champions?

Whoever is the target of public criticism.

Manchester United hasn't won a championship for several years now.

The degree to which they are "hated" has decreased.

Still annoying though.

But teams like Chelsea, Manchester City and last season's Liverpool are gradually catching up.

Although Liverpool only won one Premier League title.

However, considering that they were once the league champions, and how strong this Liverpool team is.

Now Liverpool has replaced Manchester United.

It has become a trend for fans of other Premier League teams to hate the team the most.

On the Internet all over the world.

There is a meme circulating: Behind Captain America, who is leading Chelsea as a benchmark, there are a large number of "superheroes" supporting him. The labels on these superheroes are the benchmarks of major Premier League clubs.

The only teams standing behind Liverpool are Fulham and Southampton - Fulham is Chelsea's mortal enemy, and the emergence of Southampton is a satire on Southampton for always liking to sell the young talents they have cultivated to Liverpool, giving points to Liverpool every year.

Except for the Fulham fans who remained silent.

Southampton fans were very unhappy.

"We don't f**king support Liverpool!"

"Death to Liverpool!"

"Come on Chelsea!"

In order to get rid of the title of "fellow villager".

Southampton fans also tried their best.

The Community Shield match is Liverpool's first game of the new season.

And at this time.

At Liverpool's training ground.

The new players have gradually integrated.

As Henderson was injured while participating in the World Cup, it is conservatively estimated that he will not be able to join the team training until mid-October.

and so.

The current captain of Liverpool is Sunshine and the vice-captain is Van Dijk.

This is also a decision Klopp made after careful consideration.

So now Yangguang has the responsibility of integrating the new teammates.

but.

His name is here.

No new player dared to put on airs in front of him - Odegaard and Ashraf were his good friends during his youth training at Real Madrid, so they naturally wouldn't go against Yang Guang.

Alisson, Keita and Shaqiri will not be dissatisfied with the sun.

As for the other Liverpool players.

Naturally, I have no objection to Yangguang being the captain.

therefore
Pre-season training.

Captain Yangguang has a lot more work to do.

So much so that when he called Mbappe to congratulate him on winning the World Cup.

Mr. Turtle laughed out loud.

"What did I say? What did I say? I told you back then that you have the potential to be the captain."

Sunshine rolled his eyes.

"By the way, are you confident in the Community Shield match?"

"Of course, I said, I want seven championships."

"You can only win six championships at most!"

"Can you still stop us in the Champions League?"

"We'll see."

"I am waiting."

The two of them exchanged some words on the phone and then hung up.

After winning the World Cup.

Mbappe's confidence is at an all-time high.

He felt that he was qualified to challenge the sun.
Community Shield, pre-match press conference.

Klopp attended with sunshine.

"Chelsea is a strong opponent and we will be careful with them in this game."

Became the captain.

Yangguang seemed much more stable when he spoke.

But this stability only lasted for a minute.

"Last season you said that Liverpool would win seven titles. If you lose this game, it will be impossible to win seven titles. What do you think about this?"

"So we won't lose." Yangguang shrugged. "That's the answer you want, right? I can tell you that this has nothing to do with Chelsea. They just happened to be unlucky to be our opponent. No matter who the opponent is, we will win the championship, the Community Shield, the European Super Cup, the Club World Cup, the League Cup, the FA Cup, the Premier League, and the Champions League!"

Yangguang's words echoed at the press conference.

The reporters were stunned by these arrogant words.

until.

They heard Klopp's laughter.

Klopp saw that these reporters were repeatedly humiliated by the sun.

Can't help but laugh.

Let this guy be the captain.
To some extent, he also wanted to satisfy his own bad taste - he quite liked seeing the confrontation between Yangguang and the media.

Thus.

All the focus is on the sun.

It stands to reason.

This puts pressure on the players.

But is sunshine afraid of pressure?

Anyway, Klopp doesn't think there is any pressure in this world that can make the sun afraid.

He could even say before the game that he wanted to win seven championships.

Still afraid of pressure?
When all the focus is on him.

The pressure on the entire Liverpool team naturally decreased a lot.

He is tall.

Took on all the pressure.

Yang Guang's remarks at the press conference immediately caused an uproar.

The media will naturally not miss the opportunity to hype it up.

They asked Chelsea players these questions.

Hazard: "That's his opinion, he has his opinion, but it doesn't do him any good other than irritate us."

Morata: "We are all determined to win this title."

Louis: "I know Sunshine is very powerful. I have played against him many times, but he is too arrogant. I don't like his arrogance."

Azpilicueta: "I hope he can have more respect for other teams."

Chelsea's players hit back at Sunshine's words.

The media will naturally not let Liverpool players go.

They went to interview Liverpool players.

Van Dijk: "This is not arrogance, this is his style, you all know it, he is not targeting anyone or the team."

Mane: "Disrespect for Chelsea? I don't think so. We give our all in the game and that's respect for Chelsea, isn't it?"

Salah: "I support Yang, we have no intention of disrespecting any opponent."

In addition to asking the players on both sides,
Players and coaches from other Premier League teams were also involved.

Mourinho as a news-making machine.

Naturally, he would not be let off by the media.

"Did he really say that?"

Mourinho looked surprised.

"Correct!"

Reporters were expecting Mourinho to say something shocking.

But Mourinho did not satisfy them.

“It doesn’t do him much good.”

Mourinho shrugged.

"Of course I support Chelsea. Are you kidding me? I am the former coach of Chelsea and the current head coach of Manchester United. You want me to support Liverpool? You want me to lose my job, right?"

Manchester City player B Silva was also asked about the recent turmoil.

He grinned and said, "I don't think it's a big deal. I know Yang, he means no harm."

A Community Shield match.

Players from both teams, players and head coaches from other Premier League teams, and Premier League stars were all involved.

Some media lamented: This is the most watched Community Shield event in history.
