The game became increasingly open as Southampton took an early goal lead.
First, Manchester United, which was one goal behind, launched a counterattack and tried to equalize the score.
Don't underestimate Manchester United.
The Red Devils team has always been known for its spirit and fighting spirit, so when this team goes crazy, even Southampton has to temporarily avoid the edge.
But Manchester United's counterattack could not last long.
Soon Southampton made a sharp counterattack and almost knocked on the goal guarded by De Gea again.
Sturridge passed the ball over the top of Toni Kroos at lightning speed.
At that moment, Manchester United's defense was torn apart.
Unfortunately, after stopping the ball with his chest in the penalty area, he wanted to adjust the ball to his left foot.
In the end, an excellent single-sword opportunity was missed because of the delay in fighting.
But this sharp counterattack also made everyone in Manchester United feel trembling, and the momentum of the counterattack gradually died down.
On the contrary, Southampton, after enduring Manchester United's crazy counterattack, gradually took control of the situation on the field.
The double midfielder combination of Toni Kroos and Modric is working together more and more tacitly and skillfully, keeping Southampton's midfield in order and completely controlling the rhythm of the game at Southampton's feet.
During the International Champions Cup, Southampton was most criticized for its offense.
After leaving Gareth Bale and Neymar in exchange for Suarez and Sanchez, the Saints' frontcourt trident needs to be re-aligned.
Judging from the game process, Bielsa has obviously chosen Hazard on the left.
The Belgian midfielder is quite threatening whether he is holding the ball, dribbling or passing the ball, and it is easy for people to forget about Neymar.
In fact, as early as last season, Hazard conquered the coaching staff and fans with his outstanding performance for a while.
Now, Neymar has moved to Barcelona and the Belgian winger has replaced him, which is also a natural thing.
There is no doubt that Ibrahimovic occupies one of the main center positions.
On the contrary, it is the right wing.
Originally, the outside world thought that Suarez, who was introduced for 40 million pounds, should be the main force, and Sanchez would be the rotation and substitute.
But who would have thought that Sturridge would suddenly break out with his outstanding performance in the warm-up match.
In this Community Shield match, the England forward once again took on the starting role.
He was very active and in very good condition, but he also missed an excellent scoring opportunity, which has to be regretted.
But Sturridge's performance is also eye-catching.
But what really surprised people came from an attack in the 41st minute before the end of the first half.
At that time, Southampton had just planned an offensive into Manchester United's penalty area.
After being cleared, the ball was still controlled by Southampton, passed from the right to the frontcourt, and was given to James Rodriguez.
After the Colombian got the ball on the right side of the center circle, in order to avoid the defensive Giggs, he passed the ball to Sturridge and then rushed forward behind Giggs.
Sturridge understood the idea and knocked the ball back, which happened to fall on the path of James Rodriguez's sprint.
After Colombia took the ball comfortably, he moved forward and just avoided the entanglement of the defensive player. .
Entering the 30-meter area of Manchester United, Carrick resolutely grabbed the ball and James Rodriguez pushed the ball forward again.
Ibrahimovic pulled to the front of the penalty area to connect, touched the ball with one foot, and then knocked back.
At this time, James Rodriguez had already circled behind Carrick.
When he received the ball, he was just outside the top of the penalty area and had already entered the attack range.
Phil Jones was taken aback and quickly rushed out of the penalty area, but he rushed too hard.
The cunning Colombian suddenly smashed the ball over Phil Jones easily.
Not only did he dunk it, he followed closely, raised his left foot, and suddenly shot James Rodríguez's shot was not only powerful but also rotated very fiercely.
It seemed to go straight to the center, but in fact it turned an arc halfway and shot towards the upper right corner of the goal. .
It cannot be said that De Gea's reaction was not fast enough, but this shot was fantastic in terms of speed, strength and angle.
In the end, the Spanish goalkeeper could only watch helplessly as the ball almost grazed the angle between the post and the crossbar and hit the net.
When James Rodriguez hit the Manchester United goal again with a powerful shot, almost all the fans in the Wembley Stadium cheered, and many people even stood up from their seats to applaud the Colombian.
It’s so exciting, is there any?
This shot can be called a wonderful world wave Yang Huan was sitting in the stands and was laughing.

When he saw James Rodriguez rushing out of the court to celebrate, he stood up excitedly and applauded the Colombian star.
"It's so wonderful, James, what a golden left foot," Yang Huan shouted forcefully.
But his voice was drowned in the roar of cheers and screams at Wembley Stadium Yang Huan sat down with a smile, thinking to himself, it was two to zero, this game was basically won.
In fact, if you think about it, the abilities of Moyes and Ferguson are still quite far apart.
If it were Ferguson in this game, it would be hard to say if he would win, but at least it wouldn't be so miserable.
It is unrealistic and difficult to be objective to say specifically what the gap between the two coaches is.
It can only be said to be a feeling.
Over the past twenty or thirty years, everyone has become accustomed to the fact that Manchester United's coach is Ferguson.
Suddenly it's Moyes.
The fans are not used to it, and I'm afraid the players are not used to it either.
"Sometimes, the inexplicable feeling is the scariest thing."
Yang Huan shook his head and sighed rather sadly.
Sitting next to Yang Huan were the CEO of the Premier League, Richard Scudmore, and the Chairman of the Football Association, David Bernstein.
After listening to Master Huan's meaningless words, they were very surprised. strangeness.
"You have so many talents at Southampton.
You left Gareth Bale, Neymar and Vidal, and you immediately brought out James Rodriguez.
Master Huan, what else do you have to lament about?"
"Yes, there are indeed some problems with Southampton's offense.
Suarez and Sanchez have not been able to integrate into the team, which is indeed worrying, but doesn't it in turn prove that this team has huge potential?"
Yang Huan glanced at these two guys and felt funny in his heart.
How could they guess what he was thinking?
But they are also right.
Suarez and Sanchez's failure to integrate into the team has pros and cons.
The good thing is that as the schedule progresses, once they successfully integrate into the team, it will bring huge help to Southampton.
I believe no one in the world will doubt the strength of these two players on the offensive end.
As for the disadvantages, one is that it cannot help the team for the time being, and the other is that it is hard to say when he will be able to integrate into the team, and he may even not be able to integrate into the team in the end.
Of course, the possibility of not being integrated into the team and becoming a parallel import is very small, because the reports given by the research and analysis center are very optimistic about these two players and believe that they can bring huge improvements to the team.
"You guys have no idea what I'm thinking."
Yang Huan smiled and shook his head.
David Bernstein and Richard Scudmore looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
My young master Huan, we are not roundworms in your belly.
Of course we don’t know what you are thinking.
Otherwise, tell us everything you think about.
"Many people outside say that our strongest rival this season is Manchester City."
Yang Huan looked forward.
The players had returned to the court at the referee's call, and the game started again.
"But I have a feeling that our most powerful opponent is ourselves."
When Richard Scudmore and David Bernstein first heard this, they almost burst into flames.
Isn't this nonsense?
Which person or team's strongest opponent is not themselves?
But just as they resisted the urge to rant, they immediately realized the meaning of Master Huan's words.
Only those who are powerful enough and have achieved a certain level of realm are qualified to say such things.
There is no doubt that Southampton has this qualification, at least in the Premier League.
It’s scary to think about it How long has it been?
It has been exactly three years since Yang Huan acquired Southampton.

Three years ago, the Saints were still a team in England's third-tier league, but three years later, Southampton has become the strongest team in the Premier League, and even the latter one can be omitted.
Yes, many people say that Manchester City is strong enough to compete with Southampton.
But everyone knows that Manchester City's biggest problem is that this team has never been able to coalesce into a strong whole.
But Southampton is different.
The Saints' integrity is very strong, not only the players' abilities, the team's tactics, but also the spiritual will of the entire team.
Perhaps, there is more than just the role of crazy Bielsa here.
Richard Scudmore and David Bernstein both looked at Yang Huan, thinking to themselves that perhaps this young master Huan is the powerful core soul of Southampton.
Down the field, Southampton was still pressing Manchester United, but the first half ended with a score of 2-0.
But in the second half, Bielsa replaced Ibrahimovic, Sturridge, Hazard and James Rodriguez, and replaced them with Suarez, Sanchez, and Ravel Mory.
Sen and Pogba.
This is also the tradition of the Community Shield Cup.
There are no strict restrictions on the number of substitutions, and it is completely at the will of both sides.
As a result, Bielsa replaced four in one breath.
When the second half reached the 60th minute, he made another substitution, replacing four more people in succession.
I don’t know whether it was because of frequent substitutions or because the players didn’t have enough coordination with each other.
Southampton’s performance in the entire second half was very different from that in the first half.
The most eye-catching attack came when Ravel Morrison forced a breakthrough from the left and used his speed and skill to pass three Manchester United defenders in one go.
He cut a hole in Manchester United's defense and broke into the big goal. restricted area.
After the England winger broke into the penalty area, facing Phil Jones, he calmly chose to hit back.
But Pogba followed with a ground-breaking long-range shot from outside the penalty area.
The quality was very high, but he pursued the angle too much.
After hitting the crossbar, it bounced off the court.
This is also the best chance Southampton has created in the second half.
The combination of Matic and Kovacic is much more stable defensively than the combination of Modric and Toni Kroos, but the gap is still quite obvious in terms of organization, sorting, passing and rhythm control.
This also made Yang Huan realize that after letting Koke, Isco and Vidal go, Southampton's midfielder began to be a little short.
The new season will face the test of the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and other cup competitions.
Although there are young players such as Kovacic and Tielemans focusing on cup competitions, the thickness of the lineup has still been affected.
It would be fine if there is no injury or illness, but if there is an injury or something, the team will be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Yang Huan couldn't help but start to consider whether to introduce a suitable midfield substitute.
Who to bring in:
