Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 399

The English Community Shield is a traditional event that has lasted for nearly a hundred years since 1908.

Initially, the Community Shield was held at the end of each season, and was changed to October every year. The top professional league champions and amateur league champions will compete against each other, and all the proceeds will be used for charity.

So at the beginning, the Community Shield was called the FA Charity Shield.

Since 1974, the Charity Shield has ushered in a series of reforms, which has turned it into a strong confrontation between the league champions and the FA Cup champions of the previous season, and the time has been changed to before the start of the new season.

In the case of double champions, the two sides will be the first and second in the league last season.

The 2002 Charity Shield was also officially renamed the Community Shield.

......

August 15, 2006.

Su Fei followed his Manchester City teammates and landed in Cardiff, Wales, and took the player bus to the place where they once won the FA Cup.

The National Stadium of Wales, also known as the Millennium Stadium!

Manchester City's performance last season won the team countless fans outside Manchester.

Outside the Millennium Stadium.

There were huge crowds of people.

Men, women and children wearing Manchester City jerseys and Chelsea jerseys were waiting to enter the stadium.

Many Premier League media reporters shuttled among the crowds and interviewed the fans waiting outside the stadium.

"Sir, who do you think will win the Community Shield today, Manchester City or Chelsea?"

"Young man, do you see the number 9 on my chest? Su, I am a big fan of Su, Su will lead us to beat Chelsea again!"

...

"Little boy, who is your favorite player in the Premier League?"

"Lampard! I love Lampard the most! He is the best player in our national team!"

...

"Madam, what do you think of Chelsea's summer signings?"

"Well... I don't know, to be honest, I don't think our original lineup has any shortcomings. But I hope that the addition of the Ukrainian can help us avenge Manchester City!"

...

"Hello, may I ask..."

"Fxxxk Su! Fxxxk Su! Fxxxk Su!"

.................................................

It was very lively outside the Millennium Stadium, and the Manchester City team's bus also successfully parked in the parking lot from the exclusive channel.

For the four new signings of Manchester City in the summer, everything in the Premier League is new. The old players of Manchester City walked to the passage with ease, while the four looked around curiously.

Four new teammates.

Cannavaro and Zambrotta, as old teammates of Juventus, are inseparable, while Podolski is always alone.

And Gareth Bale joined the duo of Su Fei and Modric to form a trio.

"Oh my God, Su, I'm so excited!"

"I didn't expect that my first game in the Premier League would be such an important event."

"It's still against Chelsea. Oh my God, I'm so nervous."

Bale is still a lively "high school student" and he talks nonstop when the player bus passes the crowd outside the Millennium Stadium.

However.

Su Fei only saw excitement on this kid's face, and didn't see any nervousness at all.

Manchester City passed by the public interview area.

Here.

It was crowded with media reporters of all sizes from all over England.

Click, click, click!

The reporters frantically pressed their cameras, aiming the lenses at the Manchester City players headed by Su Fei.

In the World Cup, Su Fei has established his status as a star player in the world football, and he is the absolute focus.

Although they are familiar with Su Fei's style of never answering questions in the public interview area, the reporters still couldn't help shouting, looking forward to the arrival of luck.

"Su! What are your expectations for the new season?"

"Su! How about the new teammates?"

"Su! What is your goal this season?"

"Su! Do you think you will win the Golden Ball this year?"

"Su!..."

The voices of Su echoed in the corridor one after another. The old players were accustomed to this scene, but the new players were very fresh.

Cannavaro and Zambrotta saw Su Fei's expressionless and indifferent look, and whispered to each other.

Podolski looked surprised.

As for Gareth Bale, he couldn't help but ask.

"Su! Why don't you pay attention to them? Look at how enthusiastic they are towards you!"

"Gareth, there is no need to answer any questions from the Premier League media unless it is absolutely necessary."

Su Fei played the role of Stuart, giving Bale, who had just entered the professional football world,, here comes the first lesson of the Premier League.

Gareth Bale nodded as if he understood.

He looked at Su Fei with more admiration and enthusiasm.

During this period of time, Bale found that Su Fei was approachable and took good care of him off the court.

This made him like Su Fei even more.

On the other side.

After realizing that Su Fei was still the Su Fei who was particularly cold to the media in the new season.

They had to throw all the questions to the four new players of Manchester City.

"Cannavaro, how do you feel about joining the team that defeated Su in Italy?"

"Podolski, will you start today?"

"Bale, do you think you can adapt to the intensity of the Premier League?"

"Zambrotta,..."

After hearing the reporters' questions about Cannavaro and Zambrotta, Su Fei could only shake his head helplessly.

Sure enough.

The Premier League media is still the same.

However.

Cannavaro and Zambrotta are both experienced people, so they naturally don't care about these questions and turn a deaf ear to them.

Podolski is not only indifferent in the team, but also more ruthless to the media reporters.

Bale opened his mouth and was about to answer a reporter's question, but then he remembered Su Fei's teachings.

He forced himself to shut his mouth.

In the end, the reporters in the public interview area got nothing, and the four new Manchester City players also experienced the "enthusiasm" from the Premier League media in advance.

On the other side.

Stewart, wearing a precious suit, has arrived at the pre-match press conference.

The reporters' questions revolved around Manchester City's summer signings.

Stewart talked freely.

"The integration of the new players is very good. Cannavaro and Zambrotta are former Serie A stars. I believe they can easily adapt to the Premier League."

"Podolski showed his strength in this World Cup, which is why I brought him to Manchester City."

"As for Bale, the kid is very young, but he has unlimited potential. His speed is amazing."

From the words, the media reporters can hear that the old man is very satisfied with the four summer new players.

Next.

The familiar induction session is here.

Joey, a reporter from the Manchester Evening News, asked:

"Mr. Stewart, are you confident that you can win today's game? Many Chelsea fans call today's game a revenge battle."

Stewart raised his eyebrows, full of confidence.

"Last season, we were No. 1 in the Premier League and we beat all the Premier League teams."

"This season, except for the newly promoted teams, every team we play against is a revenge battle against us."

"We will work hard to defend the glory of the defending champions and win the game with the mentality of accepting all challenges."
