Well Community Shield Is back! A very Good Indication that the Hustle And bustle Of the English Football League is Coming back soon in A week time! And This time like the the previous Edition of Year 2007 and 2009 with the Teams having to be Separated with Penalties With both winning one each,Pretty much shows you all what it has in store This time Around! Yes i think you Know The teams I'm talking about! European Powerhouses Chelsea And Man Utd Fighting for the Coveted Pre Season Trophy!
With Big Money Spenders Proving that all their Money were spend well By winning Their First Premier league title In 50 years During the 2004/2005 Season Followed by other two titles in 2005/2006 And now reigning champions by winning the 2009/2010 Season..Well In that Period of time,They also Won The football league Cup Twice During the 2004/2005 And 2006/2007 Season! As Well as the Community Shield Twice in 2005 And the last Edition in 2009..Followed by the FA CUP Which were won three times since their Multi Million takeover By winning the 2006–07, 2008–09, 2009–10 editions..As well As their Only appearance In the Uefa Final in which Man utd beat them in the 2007/2008 edition..So with their rich Form of Success in this Short Period of time,It will be hard to see them not producing this form once again! Although they were quite Disappointing in their pre season!Ancelotti’s side have had a poor pre-season results wise. A 1-0 win over Crystal Palace has been followed up by three consecutive defeats away to Ajax, Frankfurt and Hamburg, prompting criticism of the Defence!
But on the other hand,Man Utd Are way out of Chelsea's League with Encouraging Wins And big wins in their pre Season Which began their pre-season with a tour of America where they beat Celtic, Philadelphia Union and the MLS All-Stars, but losses to Kansas Wizards and Guadalajara prevented them from finishing the tour With a clean run. A 7-1 win over a League of Ireland XI in midweek sends Man Utd into Sunday’s clash on Encouraged and Confident and they will be looking to get back Sweet Revenge over on the Blues, who beat them on penalties at Wembley Stadium in The last Edition of the community Shield !And Having Big Success In the Local And International Arena With An Outstanding 18 premier league titles compared to Chelsea's 4..And winners of the Fa Cup 11 times,League Cup 2 times 4 times League Cup winners..An Amazing 17 time Winners Uefa cup three time winners Uefa Winners cup one and only time back in 1990/1991 Season And Super Cup In the same Season And have stamped thier Mark in International competition too with 1999 Intercontinetal win And Not so long ago 2008 Fifa club World Cup Champions! But with All those trophies with got to Admit that Chelsea Have won more trophies in terms of 5 years!
But That doesn't Phase The Devils Who have Still A very strong Foundation Of Seasoned Players like Ryan Giggs,Gary Neville And A Few More to name!..And Chelsea Who have Nothing more but A perfect team with Didier Drogba And Nicholas Anelka Showing the pace And physical Presence they had in the previous seasons...Pacy Wingers Like Malouda And Zhirkov And Frank Lampard Controlling the Engine Room Plus A reliable Defence And goalkeeping to fall on!
Both Sides Though Had some problems though with Players coming back In different times due to World Cup Commitments But During that time though,Both Coaches Seem to have used cash to talk with some New Signings With Chelsea Purchasing Yossi Benayoun From Liverpool believed to be 6 Million pounds And Expected To welcome the Arrival of Brazilian world cupper Ramires To be around a region of 20 Million Pounds,Well As i said before! BOTH managers used cash to talk With Man Utd Alex Fergusan Also Signing Mexico's Rising star Striker Javier Hernandez And English Rising Star defender Chris Smalling who isn't actually small!
Probable Starting Line up that i Expect:
CHELSEA:
After Learning about the Injury To Number 1 goalkeeper Petr Cech,Alex And Jose Bosingwa At Defence..Chelsea Could Face Some mighty problems And Could Perhaps Name Once Again Hilario Who hasn't really impressed yet! There's Also news that Carlo Ancelotti still has faith in his Pre season team by naming 10 players from that team! With Top goalscorer last Season Didier Drogba Having To settle on the bench!
Probable Lineup:
Hilario; Ferreira, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole; Essien, Mikel, Lampard; Kalou, Anelka, Malouda.
MAN UTD:
Bad News For Man Utd too As Top Defender of Their's Rio Ferdinand Is still Injured Since his Training Incident With Fellow England Teammate Heskey In a training Exercise! Which I clearly Expect Young Hopeful Johnny Evans Who have Impressed me Quite awhile with his reading and Physical presence at the back! With the two da Silva's Also Ruled out And Carrick too!
There's still quite A strong team still for Man Utd with No further Injury With only Defender Patrice Evra given an extra week Following his Problem in the French camp Back in the start of the World cup! So for me! Alex Fergusen will name the same team that impressed during the Pre season which Saw New Signing Javier Hernandez did well! I expect him to come on some part of the game!
Probable line up:
Van der Sar; Neville, Vidic, Evans, O’Shea; Valencia, Fletcher, Scholes, Park; Owen, Berbatov.
Players to Watch:
Well Suprisingly I'm not going to List players from the first line up But Also from the bench!
Man utd:
Javier Hernandez As i said before Really Impressed me back during the Pre Season And not to Mention World cup! Looks like he is really settling into the team fast! And that spells bad news for Chelsea's Already Weak Defence with his pace And clinical touches! Expect him to do well coming of the bench!
Park Ji Sung is another player which Like Javier Hernandez Shined in the world cup and Pre Season matches With his fast play And ability to score And dictate Play! Did Exceptionally well especially the first pre season game where he scored two goals and an assist Against the Field of Ireland XI...In the starting 11!
Chelsea:
Didier Drogba Has impressed year in and Year out for chelsea And it doesn't seem to be ending soon With his dynamic Game and physical strength and not to mention crisp goals!! Might just be the the person to come off the bench And spoil The Man utd clan's party!
Frank Lampard Might just come back even stronger then ever this year since the disappointing exit of England..One of England's Main Shiners in The World cup! Has the power to run through defence like hot butter And unleashing shots Keepers wouldn't dare save! Chelsea's Hopeful to Anchor the Depleted team! Fully expect of him
PREDICTION:
Well now for the hard part! For me,It's A hard one as both teams got some key players that have the game to dictate play! BUT! I think this is gonna be a win for Man Utd as Chelsea's Team doesn't impress me As much as The Man Utd team which still got a strong line up comparing to Chelsea who pretty much having some weakness in the important Department of the Defence And goalkeeper!
So I'm going for A win For Man utd
FINAL SCORELINE: MAN UTD 3-1 CHELSEA
