Čech: Zhang Kuang Is Humiliating Me! I Conceded Five Goals, and He Still Said I'd Improved!

During halftime, the locker room was buzzing with excitement.

Pogba was sitting in the corner, lowering his head and thinking about something.

Zhang Kuang came in from outside and walked to sit next to him.

"The pursuit in the first half was better than before. But you also missed your defensive position twice, and the second time you were almost cut in by Mata."

Pogba raised his head, with a confused expression on his face. "I know, but I'm always not sure which direction to go when running."

Zhang Kuang held out two fingers. "Two options. First, who is the person you are facing? If Mata is on the left, you move to the middle and let him play.

He has no speed and is not a big threat when crossing from the bottom. But if he is on the right, you have to stay close because his inward shot is very dangerous. You have to adjust your position according to the characteristics of the opponent."

Pogba blinked and digested it. "What about the second one?"

"Second," Zhang Kuang patted him on the shoulder, "Marking people is not about watching the ball, it's about watching the people. It doesn't matter where the ball is, it's where your opponent is. If you keep an eye on people and run, you won't be led astray.

Of course, this must be adjusted according to the head coach's arrangements. If the head coach requires you to mark people while cooperating with your teammates to complete the overall defense, then in addition to keeping an eye on the person, you must also prevent the person you are marking from taking you off track and causing gaps in the overall defensive system.

If the head coach asks you to only keep an eye on a certain person, then you analyze this person's ability. How is his speed? How about passing the threatening ball? How about the penetration ability? How about cutting inside?

If the speed is not good enough, you can let him go down to the bottom, and his teammates can stop him. If he can't pass the threatening ball, you only need to force him to play the ball. If the ball is not at his feet, he will not be a big threat. If the ball is not strong at his feet, you can use your body to block him, and you will usually get stuck and steal his ball. If cutting inside is not possible, you can prevent him from passing the ball and letting him cut inside. It doesn't matter.

In short, you have to analyze specific people and use different tactics when facing different people. Defense does not mean that there is only one routine, but that there are many routines."

Pogba was silent for a few seconds, then nodded. "I'll try."

Carrick, Ferdinand, Phil·Jones, Evra and others sitting next to them were shocked. They looked at Zhang Kuang in surprise.

Ferdinand: "Zhang, when did you gain so much defensive experience?"

Zhang Kuang raised his chin and said proudly, "How's it going? I've learned a lot about defensive theory recently, right?"

Ferdinand: "Not bad, not bad, you can become a youth training coach."

Zhang Kuang touched his chin. "Are you just a youth training coach? I thought I could be a head coach."

Carrick laughed, "Haha... Don't tell me, maybe you will really be a genius head coach in the future..."

While they were chatting, Ferguson came in and began to lay out the tactics for the second half.

"Chelsea will definitely press higher in the second half. Boas is an offensive head coach. He is not the same as his mentor Mourinho. According to our research, Boas's football philosophy is: active ball control + high pressure offensive football.

If this is the case, then our counterattack space will be greater in the second half.

Zhang Kuang, Wayne, Berbatov, the three of you rushed forward when you saw the opportunity. Carrick and Pogba were responsible for sending the ball out as soon as possible.

In defense, keep an eye on Chelsea, the new signing Mata, and don't let him cut inside..."

--

The second half begins.

Chelsea has really stepped up its offensive.

Lampard and Mata are connecting more and more frequently in the frontcourt, and Ramires's impact on the right also makes Evra feel the pressure.

Manchester United was suppressed in the half in the first ten minutes, and De Gea made two consecutive saves.

He saved Drogba's header once and Mata's in-cut shot once.

Pogba was very unconvinced. Zhang Kuang obviously told him to guard against Mata's inward cut during midfield, but he still couldn't guard against it. It looked like he had to think of something.

But Chelsea's oppression also gave Manchester United room to counterattack.

In the 54th minute, Manchester United stole the ball in the backcourt. Carrick made a long pass and found Zhang Kuang, who was running in at high speed on the right.

The moment he caught the ball, he saw the problem with Chelsea's defense: Bosingwa was too close, and there was an open space behind him.

Zhang Kuang did not catch the ball and stop it, but directly volleyed the ball forward with the instep of his feet.

The speed and direction of the ball rolling forward are as precise as measuring them with a ruler.

Zhang Kuang accelerated and sprinted like a red lightning bolt along the right corridor.

Bosingwa turned around and chased after him, but was thrown away by Zhang Kuang by two lengths.

Ashley Cole came to defend from the inside, trying to block Zhang Kuang's inward cutting route.

But Zhang Kuang does not cut inside.

He raised his head and glanced at the situation in the penalty area: Berbatov was outflanking at the front point, Rooney was cruising at the back point, Terry was positioned in the middle, and David·Luiz was guarding Berbatov.

Zhang Kuang made a cross.

The ball drew a low arc, accurately passed through the gap between Terry and Luiz, and landed in front of the small penalty area.

Berbatov is there.

The Bulgarian stopped the ball gracefully, and the moment the ball stuck to his feet, David·Luiz was already behind him. Instead of rushing to shoot, he first flicked away the defending Bosingwa laterally, and then calmly pushed into the far corner.

Čech jumped out, but he misjudged the direction. He thought Berbatov would hit the near corner.

The ball rolled into the far corner and hit the side netting.

Manchester United 4:2!

After Berbatov scored, he ran to Zhang Kuang, high-fived him and then hugged him.

There is no way, now Manchester United attacks the whole court to see who Zhang Kuang is willing to give the ball to. Basically, the midfielder and backfield will look for Zhang Kuang when attacking.

It can be said that Zhang Kuang now controls 70% of the offensive power. If he distributes the ball, others can share the pie. If not, they can only help Zhang Kuang open the defense line.

Although this is unfair to the other two members of the trident, it also has an advantage, that is, Zhang Kuang's points can generally lead to assists, making the other two goals more efficient.

The red wave in the stands boiled for the third time.

Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL, 4:2! Manchester United expanded the lead! There is no suspense in this game. Zhang Kuang's cross is as accurate as a scalpel, and Berbatov's stop and shot are as calm as a walk.

Manchester United With Zhang Kuang in the frontcourt, the offensive efficiency has greatly increased. Although Rooney and Berbatov have fewer chances to hold the ball, their number of goals has increased. More, last season Zhang Kuang assisted Berbatov and Rooney with 12 and 13 assists respectively, and there were also a few assists for Hernández."

Neville: "Yes, Zhang Kuang is so versatile. He can score goals and assists. Players like this are really rare. The only ones we can see now are Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo who can compare with them.

Other top stars are either better at assists or better at scoring goals, but very few are good at both."

Martin:"Yes..."

Boas put his head in his hands on the sidelines and waved his arms vigorously.

He made a substitution, Essien came on and replaced Mikel to strengthen the defensive strength of the midfield.

In the 65th minute, Chelsea got another chance.

Lampard received the ball from Essien at the top of the penalty area and took a long shot.

The ball hit hard and hit a tricky path, heading straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

De Gea flew to save, stretched his body to the limit in the air, and lifted the ball out of the goal post with one hand.

This is a world-class save.

After landing, De Gea showed no expression. He just stood up quickly and shouted to the defense, "Corner kick! Mark!"

Zhang Kuang turned around in the frontcourt and gave a thumbs up to De Gea.

This young man looks more and more like Van der Sar.

In the 68th minute, Chelsea's substitutions continued.

Anelka replaces Kalou, Lukaku replaces Drogba.

Boas Pendulum formed a desperate formation with three forwards in the last twenty minutes.

Ferguson also made adjustments: Phil·Jones and Evans played at the same time, replacing Ferdinand and Vidić to maintain the physical fitness of the back line.

Cleverley replaced Carrick to increase running coverage in the midfield.

In the 70th minute, Rafael replaced Evra, and the physical rotation on the wing was also completed.

Although Manchester United was once suppressed by Chelsea after the substitution, the defensive formation remained very compact.

Although Jones and Evans are young, they have strong fighting spirit and made several key interceptions and blocks without leakage.

In the 74th minute, Mata took a free kick from the left and the ball flew to the center of the penalty area.

Terry leaps high and headers the goal!

The ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

De Gea once again made a divine save. He flew out almost based on instinct, and pushed the ball over the crossbar with his fingertips.

After the ball went out of the baseline, De Gea got up from the ground, patted the team logo on his chest, and waved his fist toward the stands.

Manchester United fans responded with a burst of thunderous applause.

Martin: "Manchester United is a really good goalkeeper. De Gea is as capable as Čech, Joe Hart, Reina, Howard and others."

Neville: "I think De Gea is stronger than these people. It's not that I want to help Manchester United's players, but..."

In the 81st minute, Chelsea made a mistake in the backcourt under pressure. Bosingwa's return pass was too weak. Terry did not receive it, and Zhang Kuang rushed over from the side.

He poked the ball away before Terry, and then dribbled the ball into the penalty area alone.

Terry chased behind, David·Luiz attacked from the other side, and the two formed a final encirclement.

But Zhang Kuang starts up too fast.

After entering the penalty area, he first withstood Terry's push with his body, and then passed the ball horizontally before David·Luiz's tackle arrived. Berbatov failed to catch up, but Rooney rushed over.

Empty gate.

Push.

The ball slowly rolled into the net.

Zhang Kuang scored twice in goals and assists.

Manchester United 5:2 sealed the victory.

Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL, Manchester United scored a goal, Rooney, received an assist from Zhang Kuang and then shot into the empty goal."

Neville: "Haha, sure enough, with Zhang Kuang, Berbatov and Rooney can be invisible in the whole field. Their job is very simple: after receiving the assist from Zhang Kuang, they can easily push the ball into the opponent's goal."

Martin: "Haha, what you said is really appropriate!"

The entire red stand went crazy.

Tens of thousands of people stood up, raised their hands above their heads, applauded, cheered, and screamed. The rain hit Zhang Kuang's hair and flowed down his face, but he stood there with his hands on his hips and nodded slightly toward the stands.

Rooney immediately ran to the corner flag and started running, jumping, turning around, moving his hands down, and roaring.

Zhang Kuang and Berbatov ran over and celebrated with him!

Ferguson showed a happy smile off the court, winning his first championship this season, which is great.

Boas, on the other hand, was a little stunned. This attack caught him off guard. This was much stronger than the Manchester United that Mourinho faced back then, especially on the offensive end.

This Zhang Kuang cannot be prevented at all.

The following game was more than intense but not exciting enough. The two sides fought desperately in the midfield, and no one got a good chance.

After 94 minutes, the referee blew the whistle to end the game!

The score is fixed at Manchester United 5 vs. 2 Chelsea.

Manchester United won the first championship of the new season!

He Wei: "The game is over! Manchester United 5-2 defeated Chelsea to win Community Shield! It was a great showdown, with both De Gea and Čech making many extreme saves.

The best player in this game is undoubtedly Zhang Kuang, who scored two goals and provided two assists. He directly participated in the team's four goals and dominated the battle of Wembley."

Xu Yang: "Boas insists on the 433 offensive style, but there are frequent loopholes in the defense. Zhang Kuang wanders in the gaps in the defense, grabbing points and providing support. Such a brilliant performance, Chelsea's defender was never able to effectively restrain him. Even though Čech made many spectacular saves, it was difficult to withstand Manchester United's continuous offensive."

He Wei: "On one side is the experienced goalkeeper, and on the other is De Gea who is new to Premier League, but football will never let down the side that continues to create opportunities. Zhang Kuang's answer is amazing enough.

He volleyed through the wall and broke out of the siege, and the crowd's shouts shook the green. Even if the goalkeeper used his magic skills, it was hard to stop him from breaking through the camp! Community Shield has come to an end, and Premier League's journey to the new season is about to begin."

Xu Yang: "This game also serves as a wake-up call for both teams. Chelsea's defensive integration and the status of Manchester United's new players will become highlights worthy of attention in the new season."

"..."

Martin·Tyler: "The game is over! Manchester United 5-2 defeated Chelsea and won Community Shield! It was such an exciting game! De Gea and Čech took turns to make great saves and kept out the must-goals many times.

But no one can cover up Zhang Kuang's light tonight! With two goals and two assists, Chelsea's defense can't do anything to him!"

Gary·Neville: "You're right, Zhang Kuang has a large range of activities. He can not only rush into the penalty area to grab points and score goals, but he can also retreat to send wonderful passes.

Ashley Cole and Mikel took turns to guard him, but could not catch him. Boas focused on attacking, and the team pressed too far forward, leaving holes everywhere behind him. Even if Čech tried his best to save the situation, he could not block so many defensive gaps."

Martin·Tyler: "Chelsea actually created a lot of opportunities. Drogba and Mata frequently threatened the Manchester United goal. Unfortunately, they failed to seize the opportunities.

De Gea ushered in the official debut of Manchester United, which has withstood a huge test."

Gary·Neville: "You can clearly see how terrifying Manchester United's current frontcourt offense is. Zhang Kuang's ability is a major bargaining chip in Jazz Ferguson's offensive arsenal.

On the other hand, Boas still has a lot of work to do. With today's defensive level, it is far from enough to compete for the Premier League championship."

Martin·Tyler: "Community Shield ends here. This 5-2 win is a wonderful start to the new season. Tonight's Wembley belongs to Manchester United and Zhang Kuang!"

"..."

In the red stands of Wembley, Manchester United fans started celebrating wildly.

Someone raised a banner prepared in advance: 'Zhang Kuang! Manchester United King!', someone waved a red flag, and someone stood on the seat and sang "GloryGloryManUnited".

After the players from both sides shook hands, everyone returned to their locker rooms. After a brief champagne celebration and washing, they went out to complete the award ceremony.

Although the award ceremony for Community Shield was simple, the whole audience cheered when captain Vidić and Zhang Kuang lifted the trophy together.

In the interview after the game, Zhang Kuang was smiling and very happy.

Reporter: "Zhang, you have won a championship at the beginning of the season. How do you feel about it? What are your comments on today's game?"

Zhang Kuang: "I am very happy that the new season has got a good start. To use China's words: a good start is half the battle.

With such a good start, this season will definitely be a successful one. As for my views on this game, Manchester United's central defense still needs to be adjusted, but it is slowly getting on the right track.

As for Chelsea, this is a team that is very different from last year. First of all, their tactics are completely different. They advocate offense more.

And the most important thing is that their players' performance is different from last year. Yes, you should guess who I am talking about.

Although Chelsea conceded 5 goals, Čech's saving ability has indeed improved a lot. He made many great saves in a row. Čech's performance today is impressive."

Reporter: "What are your personal goals for this season? Can you break last season's scoring record?"

Zhang Kuang: "For sure, I will work hard to break the record, and I believe I can do it."

Reporter: "Well, I hope you can achieve your goals in the new season."

The reporter then interviewed many people, including of course Čech of Chelsea. The reporter told him that Zhang Kuang praised his ability to save a lot this season and made many outstanding saves, and asked him what he thought.

Who knew that Čech felt bad after hearing this, his face turned red, he was very angry and emotional, and he felt like he was about to cry.

Čech: "China guy bullies people, Zhang Kuang is humiliating me, I have already conceded 5 goals, and he also said that I have improved. Is he mocking me for conceding more than 5 goals before? I am not done with him, Zhang Kuang is my lifelong enemy!"

Reporter: "..."

--

At the press conference after the game, Ferguson was in a good mood.

"I am very happy to win the first championship of the season, which shows that Manchester United is still the invincible Manchester United. Although the team has undergone some personnel changes, the overall framework and strength have not changed significantly.

I believe that these new players will gradually get better and better with the team as the game progresses. For example, our new goalkeeper De Gea performed very well today, and Pogba also performed very steadily.

At the same time, our frontcourt is still the sharpest offensive sequence in the world, and they protect our team's victory."

The reporter asked, "I heard that Manchester United is introducing a new midfielder. Will Paul·Pogba be just a temporary replacement? Will he become a starter or an important rotation in the new season?"

Ferguson glanced at the reporter and chuckled. He knew that this reporter must have been invited by the fat agent.

Ferguson: "Of course, as long as he has no major problems and grows up healthily, he will become an important rotation player for Manchester United."

Reporter: "After you failed to introduce Modrić, now Manchester United has a new midfielder recruitment target?"

Ferguson:"Sorry, no comment!"

Ferguson got up and left after saying that.
