A new partner.

The combination of Qin Xi and Gallagher is not as bad as fans imagined.

Although Gallagher is known for his attacking character, under Tuchel's one-year tutelage, the English guy has taken his defensive awareness to the extreme.

Fans have reason to believe he can be a better suited player to Chelsea's midfield than Mateo Kovacic.

Qin Xi is still playing well, and his body is tough enough to take on any player in the Manchester City team.

Even Haaland is no exception.

After completing the penalty, Guardiola replaced Haaland protectively and Alvarez will come on.

The latter was Haaland's substitute last season, but he played well, and both strikers showed great competitiveness in this warm-up game.

It was because of the appearance of Qin Xi and Gallagher, and the weak midfield in the first half became a lot more positive.

Although shortly after the opening, Fofana was busy making mistakes.

But the performances of the two new club defenders are enough to prove Tuchel's vision.

Gervadior's debut reflects his value, and his mature view of the big picture is comparable to that of last season. Torres looks much more solid.

The same left-footed player, his body is also tougher.

Unlike Colville and Ampadu, he and Fofana's height advantage is extreme.

In the 69th minute, Chelsea made a comeback.

It was Fofana who cut off De Bruyne's foot, and before the Belgian genius could react, he passed to Cucurella, who had just debuted on the left.

The Spanish left-back drove straight in to face Manchester City right-back Joao Cancelo and skilfully swung past him.

After entering the penalty area, Cucurella inverted a triangle pass in front of the goal, and Qin Xi met the ball angrily.

But the speed of the ball was indeed a little fast, and Qin Xi didn't have time to control it and kicked the ball towards the stands.

Missing a golden opportunity, Qin Xi also looked extremely annoyed.

He walked up to Cucurella and showed him respect.

"I'm sorry, my brother, that I wasted a wonderful biography of yours." The Chinese man looked very modest.

"No, it's that the power of my transmission is a little great, let's continue."

The first time he appeared at the same time as a new signing, Qin Xi saw the humble spirit in Cucurella, but thought of his performance when he came to the team.

These lads, after a long season, will gradually integrate into the team and then become part of the club.

Qin Xi has more fighting spirit.

In the fight with De Bruyne, he repeatedly took advantage of his physical advantage.

But after all, the opponent is the best midfielder in the world, and he quickly changed his style of play.

His cross-transposition with Grealish would make Qin Xi and Gallagher a little overwhelmed for a while.

Grealish's delicate footwork, combined with De Bruyne's overall view, makes Chelsea a little passive.

For a while, the midfield position that was hard to grab back returned to the hands of Manchester City.

Tuchel was also anxious on the sidelines, changing his style of play after replacing the underperforming Kai Havertz with Kovacic.

"Qin Xi, the boss let you go up, we need your heading ability." Kova whispered to the Chinese midfielder.

"I know, don't worry."

Although in training, coach Tuchel also used Qin Xi's forward pressing style.

But after all, there are two big centers in the team, Vlahovic and Havertz, and Qin Xi once believed that such training would be desperate in adversity.

Isn't it in adversity now?

Chelsea don't want to lose their first trophy of the season.

It would be a shame to lose to Manchester City by such a scoreline.

......

"Tuchel actually let Qin Xi play the position of central striker, it's unbelievable." Linda in the stands said to the boss on the side with a serious expression.

"Yes, I know him, he is not a good center, his shooting awareness, but really makes people..."

"But his big body can be perfectly compared to Reuben. Dias made a point, and last season, the Portuguese defender saw Qin Xi as a thorn in his side. Linda said with a smile.

.......

Tuchel looks confident.

He knew what he had to do.

As long as you can trust the disciples who are fighting on the field, it is enough to yourself.

They're Champions League winners!

.......

But the game did not go as Tuchel had planned.

Although Manchester City have not penetrated the door again.

But Chelsea have been slow to find great scoring opportunities.

Qin Xi was in the box and received support from his teammates, but after all, he was not a professional center forward, and he did not choose the best route when dealing with some footballs.

The Hua Guo man looked at the big screen.

With 84 minutes to go, City will only need to survive the last 10 minutes.

They can win the Community Shield.

There really isn't much time left for Chelsea.

.......

In the 87th minute, Chelsea had the ball again.

This time it was Gvardior's turn, and he quickly distributed the ball to the rushing forward Cucurella next to him.

The Spanish full-back moved quickly and faced two of Manchester City's defenders before once again making a change of direction.

At the front of the penalty area, Gallagher has been waiting for a long time.

He quickly distributed the ball to the English guy, who saw that Kovacic next to him had inserted it and immediately passed the ball to him.

Kova faced Stones' frontal defence and quickly moved into the box.

At this time, Qin Xi and Azar next to him were standing in good positions.

Kova moved to the side, and the Belgian winger actually made a feint and gave the ball past his legs.

Qin Xi saw the ball roll in front of him, made a tackle gesture, and poked the ball into the net.

2:3。

Chelsea pulled a goal back.

But now, they were left with only the last few minutes.

Qin Xi didn't have time to celebrate, but held the ball and ran to the middle circle arc.

Now they are still the lagging side.

For Manchester City, it only takes the last few minutes to hold on to the crown.

......

"This guy is not bad, I take back my words." After Qi Xin saw the man's goal, he said to Linda on the side with a smile.

"It seems that our head coach will have a new way of playing in the new season."

"But I have a hunch that Thomas will not let Qin Xi rise to the center position again, his interception ability will be wasted, although he has completed a goal, but look at the embarrassing combination of Gallagher and Kovacic, Tuchel, a perfectionist, will not be satisfied."
