Today the two giants of the "Premier" league - London's "Chelsea" and "Manchester City" - will start the 2018-19 season.
At 17:00 these teams will compete for the "Community Shield" trophy. In this match every year the winners of the FA Cup and the "Premier" league compete.
"Man City" is considered the favorite of these matches - "Chelsea" has only recently found a new coach, who had more time to prepare for these matches for a little over two weeks.
Maurizio Sarri did not hesitate to praise his colleague Pep Guardiola before the upcoming match, who is considered one of the best in the world.
"We once visited Arrigo Sacchi together and we are football friends. In my opinion, he is the best coach in the world or at least one of the best," said M. Sarri.
"These matches will be very difficult for us for one reason: they have been working together for two years, while we have only started training for two and a half weeks. We are facing very challenging matches," emphasized the strategist.
