Manchester United won and lost the Community Shield at Wembley, with Garnacho taking the lead with a solo performance goal before the end of the game, but then a header from Bernardo · Silva sent a 1-1 draw to penalties. The Red Devils also took the lead in the penalty shootout, Onana saved the first penalty in seat B, and the fourth penalty Sancho feasted, Evans kicked away, and Manchester City finally reversed 7-6 to win the cup.
Ten Hag still has more faith in his experienced players, and in the absence of a left-back, he has deployed Lisandro· Martinez, Harry Maguire and Evans at the same time, rather than using 17-year-old left-back Harry · Amas. Up front, Marcus Rashford and Amad · Diallo split the line, with No.7 Mason · Mason Mount and captain Bruno Bruno · Fernandes taking turns as false No.9s.
Explaining why new signing Zirkze was not used, Ten Hag said: "There are a lot of games to play this season and he needs time to adapt. Every player who comes to a new club, not just Manchester United or just the Premier League, every player needs time. We have to be patient and careful to integrate him into the team before he adapts. I'm sure he's going to make a big contribution."
Ten Hag may not regret not putting Zirkze on the pitch, but he should not have put Garnacho on the bench, the first time the 19-year-old Argentina's new Cristiano Ronaldo has been on the bench since October last year. However, when he returns to Old Trafford to face Fulham next week, he will not be on the bench any longer.
It is worth mentioning that Garnacho was also the first Manchester United player to score Manchester City at Wembley in the FA Cup final two months ago. With a rival backdrop in this game, Garnacho can look forward to returning to the main squad next Friday.
Pep Guardiola's predominantly young starting line-up speaks for itself, with four of the 11 players having a shirt number greater than 50. As a result, Manchester United not only did not fall behind on the pitch, but sometimes even had a slight upper hand.
Manchester City had the chance to score first, but United made a mistake at the back and Blues youngster McCarty curled a ball off the left-hand post. However, Manchester United have more and better chances, but the team's lack of opportunities in the forward line for many years is still serious.
Casemiro sent a through ball and Diallo broke through on the right and crossed in front of goal, but Mount did not answer and the Ivorian winger was helpless to be entangled in the net.
But then there was even more of a scene that left United speechless, and after a series of combinations, Marcus Rashford got up and shot from the left flank, but the ball was wide of the goal. Unable to find the back of the net in the first half, it was 0-0 back in the dressing room and Pep Guardiola appeared furious and furious in the tunnel of the players.
In the second half, United gained more overall advantage and more attack, and City's young midfielders simply couldn't control the field. Fernandes had a brilliant lob to open the scoring, but the slow camera showed that he was offside before receiving the ball and the goal was disallowed.
Fernandes then had another one-on-one chance to get on the ball again and didn't pass to Marcus Rashford on the left, but the shot was too straight to threaten.
The subsequent trend of the game shows why B Fei did not pass. Because Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay squandered a good chance to score easily. Especially La, who received Garnacho's cross from the right and fired a left-footed shot into the face of a huge empty goal, but the ball hit the calf and finally bounced off the post.
Marcus Rashford then wanted to make up for it with a header, but Wheat's effort was wide in front of goal. Ruud van Nistelrooy in the dugout couldn't sit still, and he walked to the sidelines and encouraged the coach for a few seconds. But there is no doubt that Ten Hag, who still trusts in Rashford, has been disappointed, and if it weren't for the England star's inefficiency, United would have taken a two-goal lead.
Like Fernandes, Garnacho decided to act on his own when the next opportunity was given, with the Argentina winger cutting inside from the right and firing a low left-footed shot into the near corner to give United a 1-0 lead over Manchester City. Garnacho once again celebrated with a few of Cristiano Ronaldo's classic moves, and with the game time running out, the Red Devils looked like a trophy was in sight.
Sadly, Ten Hag paid the price for his two substitution misses. First, he used Uruguay right winger Pellistri as a cameo at right-back, and just minutes after United took the lead, the one-meter-seven striker was pressed by the B seat as he scrambled for a header, which scored to level the score 1-1.
According to the Community Shield, there was no extra time for the match, and the 90-minute draw was decided on penalties. Andre · Onana flew to his left and saved City's first penalty from the B seat to give United the lead.
Unfortunately, Sancho, United's fourth penalty, also hit a half-high ball, which was saved by Ederson and bounced off the post, and the score was levelled in the penalty shoot-out.
Jadon Sancho came off the bench in the 83rd minute and Ten Hag opted to trust him again rather than bring on Zirkze. The 54-year-old Netherlands may have forgotten the scene in the European Championship final that year, when Gareth Southgate brought on Jadon Sancho for a penalty that he missed first......
After the penalty shoot-out entered the stage of sudden death, Manchester United veteran Evans kicked the ball away, and then the penalty Manchester City centre-back Akanji calmly hit the shot, Manchester City finally came from behind, winning 7-6 on penalties and 8-7 on aggregate, ending a three-game losing streak in the Community Shield.
The England Community Shield is just a big warm-up game and it doesn't matter if it makes Ten Hag decide to move away from the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Mason Mount with the likes of this game, then the defeat will be worthwhile. Manchester United's starting strikers in the first round of the Premier League should be Garnacho, Zirkze and Amad · Diallo. Ten Hag said after the game: 'Everyone is in pain and in my opinion that's a good thing. We should have won the game, we took the lead twice and we can see the positives."
