"Hilario made two low-level mistakes against Frankfurt. This is really a hidden danger for Chelsea's defense. But today Manchester United started Park Ji-sung, who is also from Asia, because Xiao Yu has also entered the squad. The media The fans jokingly call this the Premier League’s Asian Derby, just to see who is the stronger Asian iconic player.”
"But it's unknown whether Xiao Yu will have a chance to play today."
"After Xiao Yu moved to Chelsea, he first went with the team to watch two warm-up matches in Germany, and then returned to Stamford Bridge to prepare for the debut ceremony. He just made his debut at Stamford Bridge yesterday, and today he will participate in the Community Shield Cup, which is quite busy. There is no stopping."
Before the game started, Sir Bobby Charlton and Zola, as representatives of the two teams, cordially expressed condolences to the players of both teams. England coach Capello also attended the game in person to cheer for the two teams.

"With the referee's whistle, the game officially started, and Manchester United kicked off first. Wearing red jerseys and attacking from the left to the right of the screen is Manchester United led by Sir Alex Ferguson. Chelsea is wearing blue jerseys. Currently, It’s the defensive side.”
In the 5th minute, Rooney launched an exquisite diagonal ball in the midfield, aiming directly at Valencia.
After receiving the ball, Valencia used an unstoppable force to break through Ashley Cole's tight defense, completed an inside cut, and entered the heart of Chelsea's penalty area.
However, although Valencia's wonderful breakthrough was eye-catching, his subsequent lob failed to break Hilario's defense as expected.
Hilario easily confiscated this shot that was not much of a threat, showing his keen reaction speed and excellent goalkeeping skills.
Just 4 minutes later, Valencia made a comeback, and his cross from the right accurately found Scholes.
The ginger head showed excellent skills in the penalty area, attacking the goal with a volley.
However, his shot was too excited and he hit the ball high and missed the goal.
Another minute passed, and Chelsea's counterattack was swift and fierce.
Van der Sar made a mistake when saving Anelka's long shot and let Kalou steal the ball.
Kalu seized the opportunity and quickly swept the ball towards Chelsea's goal.
However, unfortunately, no Chelsea players were able to outflank the ball in time, making the attack in vain.
The tension in the game continued to rise as both sides tried to break the deadlock.
However, whether it was Scholes's mistake or Chelsea's regrettable goal, the outcome of this game remained unresolved.
However, Chelsea's offense still has the upper hand.
In the 15th minute, Vidic fouled outside the left penalty area and maliciously blocked Malouda's attack and brought him to the ground.
This rough foul triggered exclamations and attention from the spectators on the sidelines.
After this foul, Fabio committed a dangerous stepping foul on Essien, an act that left the audience shocked and angry at his behavior.
This kind of flagrant foul against the opponent is undoubtedly a disregard for and tramples on the spirit of sportsmanship.
However, the game didn't stop there.
Malouda quickly adjusted and successfully broke through O'Shea's tight defense, dribbling the ball all the way into the penalty area.
He cleverly bypassed the defense and passed the ball into the penalty area, showing excellent skills and decisiveness.
Faced with this sudden threat, Ivanovich showed his courage and determination.
He overpowered Vidic, leaped high and headed the ball towards the goal.
However, Van der Sar performed well and saved the ball from the bottom line, resolving the crisis and ensuring that the team's goal was not lost.
Just 3 minutes later, Scholes cleverly passed the ball in front of the penalty area and accurately delivered the ball to Rooney's feet.
Seeing the opportunity coming, Lu Xiaopang rushed into the right side of the penalty area like an arrow from a string. He was not afraid of strong opponents and resolutely shot in the opposite direction of the goal.
At this moment, all eyes were on him, expecting this shot to tear open the opponent's defense and break the deadlock in the game.
However, fate seems not to be on the Red Devils' side.
Although Rooney's shot had a strong momentum, unfortunately the ball rolled off the bottom line from the far post and missed the chance to score.
This result made the audience sigh with regret, and Rooney also seemed a little lost and depressed.
But Manchester United's offense did not end there. Park Ji-sung received a pass from Valencia in the penalty area and he shot with his right foot without hesitation.
The shot cut through the air like a bolt of lightning and flew toward the goal.
Fortunately, Chelsea's defensive general Ivanovic used his body to block the ball and prevent the Red Devils from scoring.
This block not only resolved the crisis, but also kept the suspense of the game alive.
The audience applauded this wonderful defense and also looked forward to their team's ability to find comeback opportunities in the next game.
In the 33rd minute, Chelsea got a free kick on the right.
Malouda took the penalty and passed the ball accurately into the penalty area.
At this time, Ivanovic once again showed his acumen and determination. He grabbed the first point and scored with a header.
Unfortunately, the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar, and Chelsea's attack failed to change the score.
Six minutes later, Manchester United's Scholes intercepted the ball at the edge of Chelsea's penalty area. He sent a header to Michael Owen, a chasing boy in the back of the penalty area.
After Irving received the ball, facing the almost empty Chelsea goal, he chose a lob shot from a small angle.
However, at this critical moment, Ivanovic was like a goalkeeper. He headed the ball in front of the goal line to resolve the Red Devils' attack.
The game came to the 41st minute, and Manchester United took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field.
Scholes in the midfield sent a wide and precise long pass, aimed directly at Rooney, who was running at high speed from the right.
After receiving the ball, Rooney did not hesitate to throw the ball across the door.
At this time, Valencia, who arrived quickly, seized the opportunity. He cleverly shot from the edge of the penalty area. The ball drew a wonderful arc, bypassed Hilario's block, and flew into Chelsea's goal.
"The ball went in!"
"Valencia, open the scoring for Manchester United!"
"Hey!" Watts scored a goal, Chelsea need to work harder."
"After we saw this goal conceded, Ancelotti looked at Xiao Yu, who was sitting firmly on the bench, and seemed to want to make some changes."
"The first half is coming to an end. There should be no need to change. It just depends on the performance of the two teams in the second half."
…
Manchester United also relied on this goal to end the first half with a 1-0 lead over Chelsea.
At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United made personnel adjustments.
"We saw that Manchester United, which was leading by one goal, took the lead in making adjustments and replaced three players at once."
