In the first week of August, the 90,000-seat Wembley Stadium in London will be filled to capacity as Arsenal and Manchester City face off in the FA Community Shield. Both teams are aiming for their first trophy of the new season in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
Hot "battle" Man City vs Arsenal
Every year, the FA Community Shield is contested between the reigning Premier League champions and the winners of the most recent FA Cup.
However, in the 2022/23 season, Man City have won both of these tournaments, so their opponent in the FA Community Shield will be Arsenal, the runner-up in the Premier League last season.
These are the two clubs that created an exciting and tense championship race in the Premier League last season. The confrontation between them brought great anticipation to fans in the foggy country in particular and the world in general.
If after 90 minutes of official play, the match between Man City and Arsenal is still a draw, the two sides will not need to go through an additional 30 minutes of extra time. Instead, a nerve-wracking penalty shootout will be immediately used to determine the champion.
The Gunners and The Citizens will have up to 6 substitutions in this match. That gives the two coaches, Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola, more options in creating breakthroughs and diversity in the squad and playing style.
3 factors that determine success or failure
The FA Community Shield is the first trophy of the new season, so both Arsenal and Man City are determined to win this trophy. In the big match at Wembley, there are 3 factors that can greatly affect the success or failure of both sides.
The first is a battle of wits between two excellent strategists on the coaching bench, Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola. They both possess genius brains, making a strong impression when creating beautiful and dedicated attacking play for the team.
As tactical directors, reading the game to make personnel selection plans, the success or failure of both the Gunners and the blue half of Manchester will depend on the decisions made by these two talented captains.
Secondly, all eyes will be on the clash between Martin Odegaard and Bernardo Silva. Both were the masterminds of their respective teams' play in the Community Shield thanks to their magical feet, creative play and excellent vision.
The Norwegian midfielder is also the captain of Arsenal, so the hopes that the team's fans have for him will not be small.
Meanwhile, Kevin De Bruyne is injured and is doubtful of playing, so the pressure will be on Silva. Experience and fighting spirit are what the 28-year-old star needs to show.
Third, we cannot ignore the tense confrontation in the midfield between Declan Rice and Rodri. They are both midfielders with impressive interception skills and quality long-range finishing.
The English star is eager to prove his worth as the most expensive contract in Arsenal's history, while Rodri is eager to show everyone his class as a world-class star at the moment.
The match between Man City and Arsenal in the English Super Cup promises to bring exciting, dramatic and exciting developments to fans.
The Man City vs Arsenal match will be broadcast at 22:00 on August 6 on the website: fptplay.vn or the FPT Play application.
