This is an upsetting summer transfer!

David Moyes stood nervously in front of the coach's seat at Wembley Stadium, staring at the front with a mountain of brows. There were dark fans everywhere, just behind him, which was enough to make people shudder.

It turns out that being the head coach of a wealthy team has to bear so much!

Moyes is only now beginning to understand a little bit why Ferguson would say such a strange thing to him a few months ago.

"I don't doubt your ability on the court at all, what I worry about is outside the court!"

In Moyes' ears, it seemed as if Ferguson was talking to him again.

At that time, he had just watched Southampton defeated Stoke City on live TV and cruelly received a death sentence. In the last season of his coaching career, after leading for more than half a year, he lost the league championship he won at the last moment!

At that moment, he saw an old man who was about to die.

He had never seen such an old feeling in Ferguson, but at that moment, he felt it.

I'm afraid that on the day when Ferguson walked into the grave, he would not forget the shame he encountered that day!

And now, as Ferguson's successor, he has been given a lot of titles by the media.

The originally useless Community Shield Cup competition was hyped by the British media into a revenge battle with a very Hamlet flavor.

This invisibly put a heavier pressure and burden on Moyes.

From the start of preparations this summer, Manchester United's overall performance has not been convincing, especially in the International Champions League match, where Manchester United suffered three consecutive losses in the group stage and was shamelessly eliminated.

After returning to the UK, the performance can only be described as disaster.

The performance on the court is unsatisfactory, and the turmoil under the court is even more worrying.

With Ferguson's retirement, Moyes brought his coaching team that he had worked with for many years, including former chief assistant coach Mike Ferran and famous Dutch coach Mullensteen, and he had to make room.

Scholes, the most creative core of the midfield, retired. Although Giggs continues to stay with the team, strengthening the midfield has become the focus of Manchester United's transfer.

If the transfer of European professional football is a soap opera, then the unlucky and tragic Manchester United plays a role of a disgraceful and unlucky person who picks up soap in this soap opera.

From buying Fabregas to fill the vacancy after Scholes left, to Vidal and Thiago, the players Manchester United liked were one after another and missed each other again and again.

In the past, when Moyes was in Everton, he usually considered economical and practical. Sometimes, for a transfer fee of only a few hundred thousand pounds, Moyes would allow Everton's team to argue with the other party for several months.

But the situation is obviously different now!

Manchester United is a giant, and the players they are targeting are all popular. If you don’t have enough courage to start as soon as possible, then you will be snatched away by someone else immediately. You don’t even have time to cry.

This is true for Vidal, and so is Thiago!

Moyes felt that he was completely unacceptable to Manchester United's transfer operation method. What he was used to and good at was slow heating and time fighting, but this style was obviously not suitable for transfers to giant teams that were performing arms races all the time.

Now, Fabregas announced his stay in the team, Thiago went to Bayern Munich, Vidal went to Real Madrid, and none of the players Manchester United targeted came.

Not only the midfield, but also the problems on the defense line are even more serious.

Fullback, central defender, and Manchester United's entire defense line need to be reorganized, but now there are no targets to be set up.

Moyes was so busy that he was overwhelmed, but he was unable to achieve any results. Instead, it caused all Manchester United fans and British media to be dissatisfied, believing that his performance was quite poor and was not qualified at all!

In this case, Moyes's shoulders were so stressful that outsiders could not imagine it!

He needs a championship trophy to prove himself and relieve the pressure on his shoulders. Even if it is just a useless Community Shield, can it make him feel relieved.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Southampton on the court.

The Saints' performance this summer is not convincing. After losing three generals, Gareth Bale, Neymar and Vidal, Suarez and Sanchez were still adapting, and the team's offense was not good.

So, yesterday, at the last press conference before heading south to London, Moyes made it clear in an interview with the media, "I will work hard to make the Community Shield a good start for me to coach Manchester United!"

In order to be more confident, Moyes did not use the team's tactics and starting lineup, and still used the lineup and tactics of the Ferguson era.

The goalkeeper is De Gea, the defense is Evra, Vidic, Phil Jones and Raphael, the midfield is Giggs, Clevili, Carrick and Valencia, and the double striker is a combination of Van Persie and Rooney.

Southampton is also afraid to be careless.

The goalkeepers are Neuer, and the defenses are David Alaba, Javi Martinez, Varane and Azpilicueta.

The double midfielder is still the partner of Modric and Tony Cross, but after Vidal's transfer, James Rodriguez is replaced.

The frontcourt Trident was also adjusted. Hazard performed well in the International Champions League, firmly occupying the left winger, while Ibrahimovic was the center, which was a bit surprising on the right. Bielsa chose Sturic.

The two new players Suarez and Sanchez were both arranged on the bench by Argentine madmen.

At the beginning of the game, Southampton expressed his intentions.

That is to use the left side composed of David Alaba and Hazard to attack Manchester United's right side.

The first shot of the game was Hazard cut inside from the left and passed to the right to find Sturridge. Although it was not dangerous, it was shocked.

After that, Southampton still did not change his past fierce character and insisted on taking the left to attack.

Although Moyes has coached Everton for many years, there has never been a game as nervous as it is today.

He stood on the sidelines, browsing like a mountain, staring at the stadium without moving.

“We have trouble on the right!”

Assistant coach Steve Round came over, shook his head and said worriedly.

"Southampton has many left-wing routines, Hazard has a very strong ability to dribble the ball, and it is very threatening whether it is down or inward. Raphael has struggled to deal with it, and with a David Alaba who is inserted in the back!"

Southampton's current tactic is to attack the left side very firmly. Once David Alaba inserts it, Javi Martinez, Varane and Azpilicueta are a bit like the configuration of three defenders.

"Phil Jones is too easy to lose his position, which is quite deadly!"

As soon as Steve Round finished speaking, Southampton organized another attack on the court.

After Hazard cut to the middle, he received a pass from Modric and made a delicate small-range two-pass and one-on-one cooperation with James Rodriguez, and passed directly to the penalty area. Ibrahimovic followed up and shot, slightly off.

This wave of attack shocked everyone in the Wembley Stadium and let out a sigh.

Almost scored a goal!

Moyes also sighed. Manchester United's midfield is very weak, but the defense line is worse?

Ferdinand sat in the stands in this game. Phil Jones was known as the flying general. He was very fierce, but he was not reliable.

Vidic and Evra are old and no longer as brave as they were.

It can be said that Manchester United's midfield is a pitiful, but it is not as good as the defense line!

"David, do you want all the players in the frontcourt to come back and stabilize the situation first?" Steve Round suggested.

Moyes was a little hesitant. Will anyone scold him for being conservative when he returned?

You know, Manchester United and Southampton are both strong Premier League teams. If the Red Devils are suppressed by the Saints, where will the Red Devils fans face? Will the fans take their anger on me then?

But just as Moyes was hesitating, Southampton on the court launched another attack.

After Tokros intercepted the ball in a midfield, he quickly poked the ball to Modric. After the Croatian got rid of the defensive player, he passed it to Hazard's feet.

The Belgian took the ball and faced Raphael, and resolutely chose to dribble the ball and cut inward horizontally.

The Brazilian right-back had to follow, but Hazard suddenly passed it to James Rodriguez who was inserted.

The unguarded Colombia midfielder passed the ball with a pick-up pass and moved the ball to the left side.

David Alaba rushed to the left, and steadily removed the pass from James Rodriguez on the left side of the penalty area, rubbed his left foot and made a cross to hang the ball into the penalty area.

I saw that Ibrahimovic quickly followed in the middle of the penalty area, blocked Vidic with his body, and faced the ball, and directly shook his head, pushing the ball towards the lower left corner of the goal.

The ball rebounded after hitting the bottom and hit the goal line!

De Gea was powerless to face this close shot!

After Ibrahimovic completed his shot, Phil Jones, who was supposed to be stuck in front of Ibrahimovic, came late at this time!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

"In the ninth minute, just nine minutes into the game, Southampton threw away and knocked on Manchester United's goal!"

"Left-back David Alaba assisted Ibrahimovic to score a header, which was a wonderful cooperation!"

"From the slow motion replay, Southampton intercepted the ball from the midfield and quickly launched a counterattack. After passing it continuously, he arrived at the frontcourt. James Rodriguez's pass was so wonderful, and his vision was really wide. I saw David Alaba who was inserted in the back!"

"Phil Jones lost his position too easily. He should have clamped down on Ibrahimovic from left to right with Vidic, but after he left the position, Ibrahimovic was like no one defended!"

"Manchester United's defense line is still a problem with the defense line!"

"In fact, as early as last season, when Ferguson was coaching, the defensive issue has always been the focus of everyone's doubts, because among the top seven teams in the league, Manchester United ranks second to last goals, only a little better than Tottenham Hotspur, which is completely inconsistent with Manchester United's goal of winning the championship!"

"Since Moyes took over the team, there have been a lot of calls for a defensive line, but judging from the International Champions League or this Community Shield game, Moyes has not improved Manchester United's defensive problems."

When the on-site commentator analyzed here, the camera just gave Moyes a big close-up with a grim face in front of the coach's seat.

This made the commentator sigh with emotion: "The outstanding performance last season has exhausted Manchester United's last strength. When Scholes retired and the team's offense was in a dilemma, the defensive problem could not be solved well. Manchester United is in danger this season!"
Chapter completed!
