FA Community Shield 2020 : PREVIEW



 
The FA Community Shield marks the beginning of the new season in England. It is a match played at Wembley between the winners of the Premier League and the FA Cup of the previous season. Liverpool steamrolled the Premier League last season while Arsenal capped off a poor season with the FA Cup trophy. They will face off on the 29th of August, with the first title of the season at stake. 


PLAYERS TO WATCH OUT FOR


ARSENAL


Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang




Arsenal’s Gabonese superstar will look to find the back of the net in yet another final. He has been the shining light for Arsenal and has stepped up in big games. At his brilliant best, he is unstoppable. He will look to start the season with a bang.


 

 

 

Kieren Tierney



The Scottish left back was signed last season. His impressive performances at the end of the 19-20 season have made him one of the most consistent players for the Gunners. He has proven to be very solid defensively, somewhat fixing a leaky Arsenal defence. He is decent going forward as well. 


 

 

 

LIVERPOOL


Mohammed Salah



The Egyptian king will be ready to wreak havoc down the left wing. His pace and creativity would be instrumental for Jurgen Klopp’s side. He will surely look to improve on last season, which wasn’t his best season(statistically). He will look to expose the Arsenal defence and add another title to his name.


 

 

 

 

Joe Gomez

 

After Virgil van Dijk’s injury in the pre-season friendly against RB Salsburg, the English centre half will have to assume leadership of the defence(although van Dijk isn’t completely ruled out). Even if the Dutchman is there, Gomez will be pivotal for the Reds as Aubameyang will attack through that channel and he’d have to be on his toes to stop Arsenal’s main man.


PREVIEW


Liverpool are far superior to Arsenal as a unit but the presence of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang will cause problems for the Liverpool defence. Moreover, Liverpool had lost at the Emirates at the end of last season. Although the credibility of the loss is in question as Liverpool had already won the league and were casual in their approach, which resulted in errors. With Rhian Brewster lighting up Liverpool’s pre season camp, he will be a good option off the bench for Liverpool. A cracker of a match awaits us.

Manchester United VS Chelsea : Preview

    Manchester United welcome Chelsea to the Theatre of Dreams. This fixture brings back memories of Frank Lampard’s first match as Chelsea manager when Ole’s reds smashed the blues 4-0. A lot has happened since for both teams but the circumstances leading up to the game are somewhat similar. Manchester United are inconsistent as they had been. Similarly, Chelsea are a team which is trying to find their feet and sort themselves out.  Manchester United, in their midweek Champions League clash against Paris Saint Germain, won via a late Marcus Rashford goal(yes, again!). Manchester United have been wildly inconsistent in the Premier League so far, and have not won two games in a row. They destroyed Newcastle 4-1 at St. James’s Park in their last match but in their previous fixture, Tottenham decimated them 6-1 at home. Their defence, which has been suspect even after expensive reinforcements, somehow conceded only one goal at the hands of Mbappe, Neymar and Di Maria, which ...

Mohun Bagan: The Champions of I-League

Mohun Bagan Athletic Club, one of the oldest clubs in Asia in the space of a calendar year, transformed subpar performances and doubt into victory and jubilation. A script, so perfectly written, that they won the I-League title in the last match before the lockdown was imposed. I remember reading a newspaper article just before the first Calcutta Football League derby, about how rivals East Bengal were the much better side and the fact that Mohun Bagan could only pin their hopes on Spaniard Joseba Beitia if they had to get anything out of the game. In front of a full-house at the Salt Lake Stadium, the Mariners turned in a performance which gave confidence to the fans. They drew the match but created chances at will. This performance made the fans believe.  The managerial genius, that was Kibu Vicuna worked wonders with players like Joseba Beita, Fran Gonzalez, Fran Morante, Papa Diawara, Komron Tursonov and the Indian players.They created magic on the pitch. They stuck to possessi...

EL CLASICO : PREVIEW

As Camp Nou gets ready to host the first Clasico of the season, both clubs in their own rebuilding phase will look to get one over their arch rivals. Both clubs have had rather inconsistent starts to the season, by their lofty standards. With the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, this fixture has somewhat lost its glory but the political reasons behind the rivalry will continue to fuel this fixture.  FC Barcelona have come from a nightmare season,not winning any trophy and conceding 8 against Bayern Munich. With renewed hope, under Dutch boss Ronald Koeman, they have started pretty poorly in La Liga, winning two of their four matches. Although it is very early in the season, Barcelona are languishing at tenth in the table. With all the behind the scenes drama, they have coped pretty well. Lionel Messi will be their star man as usual. Coutinho has done well on his return to the club. Griezmann hasn’t yet found his feet in Catalonia. All eyes would be on Gerrard Pique, who got a red ca...
