16 July 2009
There are even more reasons to celebrate on Sunday , 9 August 2009 National Day this year , at least for all the EPL Soccer Fans here in Singapore , that is . As Singaporeans busk in the celebration of their country's 44th Years of Independence , soccer fans here will also be treated to a spectacle of a real exciting BIG Match in store , between Manchester United - last Season's League Champions and Chelsea - FA Cup Winners of Last Season going head to head in this year's Community Shield Clash - the tradtional curtain raiser to the EPL New Season . The two sides were ' supposed ' to face each other in the UEFA Champions League Final last Season , but now the two sides finally have got their wishes ' granted ' , in particular especially for Chelsea who felt that they were ' denied ' a place in Rome after a stormy Second Leg Semi Final Clash with eventual Cup Winners Barcelona .
The two sides will face off in the traditional curtain raiser , exactly one week before the New Season of the English Premier League 2009 / 2010 Season begins on Saturday , 15 August 2009 and Soccer fans can look forward to watching this exciting and highly anticipated Community Shield Clash LIVE later in the night , right after enjoying the NDP Parade .
The last time these two sides met in the Community Shield was two Years ago in 2007 where the Match ended 1-1 in 90 mins with the Red Devils eventually winning the Match 3 - 0 on penalities . Man United also successfully defended the Community Shield last year after defeating Portsmouth on penalties after a goalless 90 mins Match in normal time .
Can Alex Ferguson's men make it three in a row by successfully defending the Title once again this year against Carlo Ancelotti's first Official Match in charge of the Blues , just one week before the Official Kickoff to the New EPL Season ? Or can the new manager - former coach of AC Milan , Carlos Ancelotti successfully lead his Chelsea side to their first silverware of the New Season ?
* Catch Manchester United vs Chelsea in Community Shield on 9 August 2009 , National Day LIVE & EXCLUSIVE from Wembley Stadium at 10pm ( Singapore Time ) . Don't miss it ! *
