Chapter 67: The powerful "Red Devil"

Leeds beat Manchester City!

The final outcome of this Community Shield shocked the entire English football world. No one had ever thought of such a strong return of the "Young Guards".

Manchester City, that is the champion team that has just broken Manchester United and Chelsea's monopoly and changed the English Premier League pattern. And this summer they have just invested huge sums of money to strengthen the team's defense. Serner is worth 17.75 million pounds, and Bochetti spent 16 million pounds on Manchester City. After adding to the championship lineup last season, everyone originally thought that Manchester City's goal this season should be at least the Champions League semi-finals. However, they thought that a small Community Shield and a small Leeds United actually made the "Blue Moon" fall.

Indeed, this Community Shield game has luck. If it weren't for Bochetti's own goal, the "Peacock Legion" would never have had a chance to defeat Manchester City, even if they "stole" Tevez from Manchester City this summer.

But this is how football matches are. If you win, you win. If you lose, you lose. Victory is above everything else!

As the failed side, Manchester City has been criticized by all parties...

"Blue Moon's heart is restless and his love rival's mentality is fully visible. If this continues, the league championship this season will be worrying!"

"Mancini's coaching level is limited, and his own psychological quality is very average, and the teams he brings out are naturally even more unbearable. If Manchester City wants to go further, they must change their coach!"

"The Italian international made a fool of himself in his debut, and Bochetti won Leeds United!"

Under the guidance of those who are interested, the defending champion "Blue Moon" was attacked by the English media before the new season began. Many people hope to use this to dampen their confidence. Teams who are willing to compete for the championship with Manchester City must not miss such an opportunity.

As the winner, Leeds United received unanimous praise. No matter whether the result of the game was due to luck, did Leeds United win in the end? Moreover, the performance of the "Young Guards" on the court cannot be said to be poor. Facing Manchester City's fierce attack, they used tenacious defense to block the opponent's attacks one after another and finally won. This is the ability of Leeds United!

Being able to lead the team to win is Simon Grayson’s ability!

"Faced with the powerful Manchester City, Simon Grayson led his disciples to a difficult victory. In this game, the young team made up for the lack of experience and ability with active running, and finally defeated the opponent!"

"Shake and Jonny Hausen have once again shown good competitive form. I believe Hodgson really needs to consider whether Jonny Hausen should also occupy a place in the England midfield combination!"

"Leeds United's English Gemini performed well. Shaq and Jonny withstood the multinational force composed of Nasri, David Silva, Yaya Toure, De Jong and others. They will definitely contribute more to the England team in the future! Hodgson's reform of England should be further strengthened!"

"Shake and Jonny Hausen have the level of playing for the giants. Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and other teams have begun to follow and observe them. If possible, they will surely sign this pair of rising Leeds Gemini."

Although it is just an appetizer for the English Premier League every season, this Community Shield Cup has been hyped up under the influence of various factors, extending from the game itself to the coaching ability and level of England coach Hodgson, and even the reform policies of the FA in England have been affirmed. After all, England fans are really tired of the old faces of the national team. Zach Thompson and Jonny Hausen continued their outstanding state last season, which also made fans begin to look forward to their transfer to the giant team. After all, it is still mid-August, and there is still ten days before the transfer market is closed, and everything is possible.

Moreover, some of these rumors are really groundless. Simon Grayson is already in a mess. The honor of the Community Shield has not brought him any enjoyment. After all, the first game of the new season of the Super League is about to come. Moreover, this time Leeds United is going to play with the "Red Devils" Manchester United as soon as they come. Although Simon Grayson dares not expect a victory, she racks her brains and doesn't want to go back empty-handed. Even if she only gets a point away, it will be a good start for Leeds United in the new season.

What made Simon Grayson feel even more pressured was due to the transfer market that was about to close. The transfer rumors of Zach Thompson and Jonny Hausen were true, and Leeds United had really received transfer offers from other teams.

Jonny Hausen attracted the attention of Chelsea and Arsenal. The Gunners offered Jonny Hausen a £6 million offer, while the Blues were a little more generous. They wanted to take away the captain of Leeds United for £9 million.

Relatively speaking, Zach Thompson, the midfielder who has just shown his strength, is the most popular, which is completely different from the tentative quotes last season. "Sir" Ferguson gave a quotation of 15 million pounds, while Chelsea gave a quotation of 18 million pounds. Even "Professor" Wenger was rare and generous, giving a quotation of 12 million pounds. Only the "Red Army" Liverpool, who is declining, gave a "low price" of 11 million pounds.

However, Liverpool has other actions. Gerrard publicly called Zach Thompson in front of the media: "Shack is an amazing little guy. He has the ability to play as a main player in any giant team. And Shack and I cooperated very well in England. I believe that if he can come to Anfield to play football, we will definitely make Liverpool stronger! And most importantly, I believe that with Shack's ability, he has the strength to become our leader of the 'Red Army' in the future!"

The offer given by Liverpool is not high, but Gerald's call is quite important. As a banner figure of the "Red Army" in the past decade, Gerald has absolute prestige in Liverpool, and this is also a team that pays great attention to tradition. If Gerald says that Zach Thompson can become Liverpool's banner in the future, then even if there are stars such as Renner, Suarez, Ag, Lucas, Stewart in Liverpool now, Zach Thompson will definitely be trained in a key way. As long as his personal ability is not a problem, he will eventually grow into a new generation of "Red Army" leaders.

However, Simon Grayson refused all of these transfer offers, and even Leeds United chairman Ken Bates fully supported his approach, because they all believed that Leeds United must not sell people this season, especially the core backbone forces of teams like Zach Thompson and Jonny Hausen, who must not be sold.

Not only does the club not want to sell, but even the players themselves do not want to leave, but the performances of Zach Thompson and Jonny Hausen are still quite different.

Zach Thompson laughed when answering reporters' questions about his transfer: "Transfer? No, I haven't heard of any team that is interested in me, and I have a great time here. I also want to contribute to the team's goals this season!"

Jonny Hausen's answer was very straightforward: "Transfer? Haha, what are you kidding? Don't you know? I grew up in the city of Leeds, my home and my family are here. I like everything here, so I will keep playing here until I can't play! It's no exaggeration to say that I want to be Steven Gerrard of Leeds, this is my goal!"

Although Zach Thompson and Jonny Hausen both expressed their willingness to leave, their answers still allowed other clubs to interpret other meanings, that is, Jonny Hausen, a native captain, plans to play for Leeds United until old age, while the famous "Shake" doesn't want to leave for the time being. Who can tell the truth in the future?

In the week before the new season officially started, Simon Grayson increased the training volume for his team. He didn't want his players to have too much thought to consider things that were unrelated to the game. He also believed that his team could use this to resist the pressure brought by the "Red Devils" Manchester United, including himself. He needed a lot of work to compete with the deterrence brought by the "Old Sir" who was arrogant, because in English football, no one can ignore this team from Manchester. Even if you can ignore the "Blue Moon", you must never ignore the "Red Devils" Manchester United, who has always been the backbone of English football in the past decade!

Simon Grayson would never have dreamed that when he led his team to train hard at Thorpe Arch training base, Manchester United's Carrington training base also seemed very nervous.

Leeds United was lucky enough to defeat Le Manchester City in the Community Shield Cup, which made the "Old Lord" raise his vigilance to the maximum. This old man who has seen the ups and downs and pushed the "Red Devils" to the peak several times is definitely not comparable to the young Mancini. He will not take any opponent lightly.

Last season, Manchester United lost the championship due to goal difference in the last moment. This season, "Old Sir" made up his mind to win the championship because he was already 70 years old and really reached the age to retire, but before that he wanted to win another championship.

For this goal, even if Manchester United already owns Rooney, Fellaini, you, Hernandez, Ashley Young, Ferdinand, Vidic and other stars, Ferguson still spent another money this summer. He used £24 million to poach the Premier League top scorer Van Persie from Arsenal last season, and then bought the 22-year-old midfielder Gansu from Brazil's Santos for £25.5 million.

In fact, it is not the first time Ferguson has used this method when the team has not won the championship. This method has been used by the old man many times to bring the team back to the top again and again.

This season, the team's attack power has been improved to the daunting "Red Devils" Manchester United, with only one goal...a champion!

Before the new season begins, the domineering aura of the "Red Devils" Manchester United has come to his face, and the first person to be affected is the promoted team...Leeds United!
