FA Community Shield

The Football Association Community Shield (formerly and colloquially known as theCharity Shield) is an English association football trophy contested in an annual match between the champions of the FA Premier League and the winners of the FA Cup, though this tradition was only established twenty years into the fixture's existence. It is equivalent to the Super Cups found in many countries. The Shield was first played for in 1908-09, replacing the Sheriff of London Charity Shield that had been introduced in 1898-99.

The match is contested at the beginning of the following season, and since 1974 has been played at Wembley Stadium, although it was played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales while Wembley was being rebuilt. The newly built Wembley held the 2007 final for the first time since 2000. If a team wins The Double (both the Premier League and the FA Cup), then the Double winner plays the Premier League runner-up.

The Shield plays a major role for the FA in its efforts to raise funds for various charities throughout England. The sources for the funds include the net profits from admission tickets and sales of match day programmes. Parts of the fund are distributed to clubs who participated in the First Round Proper of the FA Cup, who are then in turn asked to nominate a charity or community-based organisation which will receive the clubs' share of the fund. The remainder of the funds will then be donated to The FA Charity Partners.^[1]

The most recent Community Shield was played on 9 August 2009, at Wembley Stadium between Manchester United and Chelsea; Chelsea won 4-1 on penalties after a 2-2 draw in regular time. The same two teams will contest the 2010 FA Community Shield on 8 August 2010.

Chelsea Juara

sukses Chelsea menjuarai Liga Primer Inggris musim 2009-2010 didapatkan dari perjalanan panjang dan melelahkan. Mereka menutup musim ini dengan kemenanghan 8-0 atas Wigan Athletic, Minggu kemarin, sekaligus merebut mahkota juara dari tangan Manchester United.

Ini dia 10 alasan

mengapa Chelsea bisa juara musim ini:

1. Didier Drogba.
Penyerang Pantai Gading ini menjadi pemain paling produktif di lini depan Chelsea, Total itu menyumbangkan 29 gol yang menjadikan dirinya sebagai top skorer Liga Primer Inggris musim ini. Ketajaman Drogba juga membantu The Blues memecahkan rekor jumlah gol dalam satu musim menjadi 103 gol.

2. Faktor Pemain Prancis.
Dua pemain Prancis, Florent Malouda dan Nicolas Anelka, menambah daya gedor Chelsea musim ini. Kedunya juga menjadi penyumbang gol yang cukup signifikan bagi Chelsea. Malouda mencetak 12 gol sedangkan Anelka 11 gol.

3. Duet Penyerang
Banyak yang heran ketika Ancelotti memilih menduetkan Didier Drogba dengan Nicolas Anelka. Namun ternyata, pemain Pantai Gading dan Prancis itu bisa klop di lini depan Chelsea. Anelka bahkan bisa diandalkan sebagai striker tunggal ketika Drobga harus absen karena tampil di Piala Afrika.

4. Carlo Ancelotti.
Penunjukan Ancelotti memberikan warna baru pada permainan Chelsea. Pelatih Italia kelahiran Reggiolo, 50 tahun lalu itu, mampu meracik skuad yang notabene peninggalan pelatih sebelumnya. Pengalaman dan prestasinya sebagai pelatih Juventus (1999-2001) dan AC Milan (2001-2009) menjadi modal buat Carletto menghadapi Liga Primer.

5. Tersingkir di Eropa
Kekalahan dari Inter Milan di babak 16 besar Liga Champions sebenarnya tidak diperkirakan oleh Chelsea. Meski kecewa tersingkir dari Liga Champions ternyata memberikan hikmah menghadapi laga padat di bukan April. Chelsea tak perlu melakoni partai pertengahan pekan sebelum bertemu MU yang kemudian mereka kalahkan 2-1 di Old Trafford pada 3 April. Sementara MU harus bertarung melawan Bayern Muenchen.

6. Offensif
Lini depan Chelsea menjadi yang paling produktif musim ini. Mereka mencetak tujuh gol atau lebih di empat pertandingan--Sunderland (7-2), Aston Villa (7-1), Stoke City (7-0), Wigan Athletic (8-0)--sepanjang musim ini. Data yang menunjukkan bahwa mereka adalah tim yang efektif dalam menyerang dan haus mencetak gol.

7. Pemain Pelapis
Bek Branislav Ivanovic sama sekali tidak dilirik oleh pelatih sebelumnya; Avram Grant dan Guus Hiddink. Namun absennya Jose Bosingwa membuat posisi bek kanan mutlak menjadi milik pemain Serbia ini. Deco--gelandang Portugal--juga kembali menunjukkan bahwa dirinya masih pantas di perhitungkan sebagai kunci lini tengah Chelsea.

8. Konsistensi Lampard.
Tak bisa dipungkiri kontribusi Frank Lampard dari lapangan tengah menjadi kunci Chelsea. Ia selalu klop bermain dengan siapapun yang diturunkan di lapangan tengah. Pemain 31 tahun itu hanya absen di dua pertandingan liga musim ini. Dan sampai akhir musim ini ia menyumbangkan 22 gol. Tak salah jika ia kemudian dijuluki Mr Consistency.

9. Pertolongan Manchester United.
Kontribusi Manchester United secara tidak langsung melapangkan jalan Chelsea ke tangga juara. Tidak ada tim yang pernah memenangkan gelar Liga Primer Inggris setelah menelan tujuh kekalahan dalam satu musim. Jumlah inilah yang didapatkan Setan Merah, sang juara bertahan, musim ini. Sementara Chelsea hanya mencatat enam kekalahan.

10. Kemenangan dari Big Three + Liverpool
Chelsea mencatat kemenangan atas dua rival terdekatnya Manchester United dan Arsenal. Jika boleh dihitung mereka juga menang dari Liverpool yang kerap menjadi pengganjal. Tak pelak, kemenangan ini menjadi modal penting Chelsea ke tangga juara.

Liverpool 0-2, Chelsea

Liverpool - Chelsea memperkokoh posisinya di puncak klasemen Liga Inggris berkat kemenangan 2-0 atas Liverpool. Kemenenangan yang juga membuat The Bluesjadi kandidat terkuat juara.Bermain di kandang Liverpool. Stadion Anfield, Minggu (2/5/2010), tidak menjadi halangan buat 'Si Biru' memetik tiga angka. Dua gol dari Didier Drogba dan Frank Lampard mewujudkan itu semua.Dengan kemenangan ini, maka Chelsea telah mengumpulkan nilai 83, unggul empat angka di depan Manchester United yang baru akan menghadapi Sunderland beberapa jam ke depan.

Cuma menyisakan satu laga, Chelsea jadi kandidat terkuat juara karena di laga terakhir mereka akan menjamu Wigan Athletic. Sedangkan MU, selain meladeni Sunderland, di laga pamungkas bakal berjumpa Stoke City.

Sebaliknya bagi Liverpool, kekalahan ini mengubur kans mereka lolos ke Liga Champions musim depan. Dengan nilai 62, The Reds tidak bisa melewati Tottenham Hotspur yang punya 67 poin.

Jalannya pertandingan
Liverpool berupaya tampil menyerang sejak awal. Tiga menit laga berjalan, dua tendangan sudut mereka peroleh, tapi tidak ada satupun yang berhasil dikonversi jadi gol.

Chelsea kemudian memetik peluang pertamanya di menit ke-8. Sebuah sepakan Nicolas Anelka ditangkap oleh kiper The Reds Pepe Reina. Bola sempat lepas, tapi Reina sigap mengamankannya lagi.

Peluang terbaik Liverpool lahir di menit kesepuluh. Alberto Aquilani yang menguasai bola di luar kotak penalti mencoba menembak dan si kulit bundar menyerempet tipis mistar gawang Petr Cech.

Aquilani kembali mengancam di menit 28. Gelandang Italia itu berhasil lolos ke kotak penalti Chelsea, tapi sebelum sempat menendang, bek Chelsea sigap menyerobot bola.

Chelsea akhirnya membuka skor di menit 33. Sebuah backpass Steven Gerrard kepada Reina dihadang Drogba di tengah jalan dan dengan mudah penyerang Pantai Gading itu membawaThe Blues unggul 1-0.

Dengan keunggulan 1-0, Chelsea bermain kian percaya diri di babak kedua. Menit 50, akselerasi Salomon Kalou diakhiri dengan umpan silang ke mulut gawang Liverpool tapi tak bisa diselesaikan oleh rekan-rekannya.

Semenit berselang, sebuah tendangan Florent Malouda mengetes kemampuan Reina. Gawang Liverpool selamat karena Reina mudah saja menjinakkan si kulit bundar di pelukannya.

Chelsea akhirnya menggandakan keunggulan di menit 54. Anelka lolos di sayap kanan dan umpan silang striker Prancis itu disontek oleh Lampard dari jarak tiga meter untuk membawa tim tamu memimpin 2-0.

Reina bermain cukup gemilang malam ini. Menit 66, sebuah sontekan Anelka dari jarak dekat gagal berbuah gol karena ditahan dengan kaki oleh kiper Liverpool asal Spanyol itu.

Tak sampai semenit kemudian, Chelsea nyaris menambah gol. Dari sebuah tendangan sudut, bola disepak Malouda dengan kaki kirinya, tapi Reina dengan sigap menepis keluar lapangan.

Sepuluh menit sebelum pertandingan selesai, Reina menggagalkan tendangan dari Kalou. Sepakan lanjutan dari Drogba juga bisa ditepis Reina untuk menghindarkan Liverpool dari kekalahan lebih besar.

Hingga waktu tersisa habis, tidak ada gol tambahan yang bisa diciptakan oleh kedua tim. Skor akhir tetap berkata 2-0 untuk keunggulan Chelsea.

PETER CECH

Name: Petr Cech Nationality: Czech Date of Birth: 20/05/1982 Height: 6' 5" (196cm) Weight: 14st 6lbs (91.71kg) Previous Clubs: Sparta Prague, Stade Rennais Position: Goalkeeper In 2009/10 Cech further enhanced his own reputation with a solid season and a major contribution towards a first Premier League and FA Cup Double. It started in perfect fashion with two penalty saves in the shootout against Manchester United, sealing the Community Shield in Carlo Ancelotti's first game in charge, and was followed by seven straight wins. A mistake at Stoke was highlighted, however, and was followed a fortnight later by a red card, the first of his Chelsea career at Wigan in our first defeat of the season. He returned to the side at Villa Park but again came under scrutiny - two goals conceded at set-pieces, the second after he had missed another cross - as we suffered successive away defeats. Cech bounced back to concede just two more in the next eight games as we entered the Christmas period on top of the league, and while a calf injury at the San Siro prevented him from participating in our Champions League second leg defeat against Inter, causing him to miss five games, he returned for the run-in and had a big say in the direction of the major silverware, earning the Premier League's Golden Glove on the final day of the season with his 17th clean sheet from 34 games. Cech kept perhaps his most important saves for last. In the FA Cup Final with the scores at 0-0, he first pulled off an amazing instinctive save to prevent Frederic Piquionne from opening the scoring, and then kept out Kevin-Prince Boateng's spot-kick with his feet, moments before Didier Drogba went up the other end and scored a superb free-kick. Just the reminder everyone needed about the goalkeeper's credentials that had come under question in a decidedly mixed season the year before, even though he came through it with yet another medal and his place never in question. After a typically consistent opening to the 2008/09 campaign, Cech's form, and those in front of him, took a dip around Christmas and Luiz Felipe Scolari experimented with a set-piece zonal marking system which contributed to points being lost against Fulham and Manchester United, while we were nearly embarrassed in the FA Cup by Southend and then Ipswich. Scolari's exit brought about an improvement in form under Guus Hiddink and a string of clean sheets followed before another mishap with Bolton scoring three inside 20 minutes. Cech took note, refocused and produced some of his best performances, the highlight of his season coming in the Camp Nou as Barcelona were kept at bay, important saves made against Samuel Eto'o and Alex Hleb. Before that he had more than played his part in a memorable win at Anfield, blocking out Dirk Kuyt with some sharp reflexes as we strolled to a 3-1 Champions League success. For the first season in three there were no major injury problems, with 35Premier League appearances and an ever-present record in the Champions League. In total the Czech international made 54 club appearances, an improvement on 2007/08 which had been a stop-start season due to a string of injuries. During that season under Avram Grant, Petr's 6ft 4in frame suffered as it was afflicted by calf and hip problems, plus a nasty facial cut caused by a training ground accident. He recovered his fitness and was in good form as we reached the Champions League Final in Moscow, where he made a string of vital saves before we were eventually beaten on penalties by Manchester United. Earlier that season he had undergone a change in goalkeeping coach. When Silvino Louro departed with José Mourinho, it was Christophe Lollichon, Petr's coach at his former club Rennes who came in. Since the two last worked together, the pupil had established a name as the best keeper in the world, his reputation only enhanced by the remarkable way he had fought back to his best following an injury in October 2006 that had cast big doubts over the future of his career. Showing the dedication and strong mind that had taken him to the top of his profession, Cech overcame a fractured skull to return just three months later. A dreadful collision with Reading's Stephen Hunt in October left Petr with a damaged skull and requiring immediate surgery, 30 stitches and much rest. That his season would resume so soon and end so well with two cup final wins, no-one would have predicted at the time. Within weeks he had recorded a seven-game run for club and country without conceding a goal, all while sporting the skull protection that has become a trade mark. A new arrival in the summer of 2004 who at £7 million, cost more than all the past goalkeepers in Chelsea history combined, Petr was bought to provide serious and healthy competition to the older Carlo Cudicini. He immediately caught the eye with his height, incredible reaction speed and confidence in leaving his goal-line and began his Chelsea career as Mourinho's first choice. He had to be good to keep Cudicini out. A precocious talent, Petr built his reputation at Sparta Prague where at the age of 19 he broke the national record for the longest spell without conceding a goal. Equally hard to beat in the Champions League, over 1,000 minutes in all competitions passed without a goal. That earned a move to Rennes in France where midway through his second season he agreed to join Chelsea for the next campaign on a five-year contract. At Under 21 international level he was a major factor in the crowning of the Czech Republic as 2002 European Champions while at senior level, Euro 2004 brought five clean sheets, a semi-final and a place in Uefa's all-star squad of the tournament. A clean-sheet laden first season at Stamford Bridge was statistically the most accomplished by any Chelsea keeper. A run of 1,024 minutes without conceding a goal between December and March set a new English top flight record. By the end of that season he had his first championship medal plus records for the fewest goals conceded and most clean sheets in an English top flight season, recognised with the award of the Barclays Golden Gloves for 2004/05. Though the 2005/06 version of the Chelsea defence was never quite as watertight as the season before, Petr continued to excel and was a major force in capturing of a consecutive Premiership title. Under a contract that will keep him at the club until 2013, many more years between the sticks at Stamford Bridge beckon. >> Click here to visit Petr Cech's official website Competition Apps (as sub) Goals Yellow Cards Red Cards League 34 (0) 0 0 1 FA Cup 2 (0) 0 0 0 Euro Cups 6 (0) 0 0 0 Career History: Club Season Comp.
