EDITORS COMMENTS
In this electrifying moment captured at The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on August 7,2005, Alex Hleb of Arsenal Football Club dribbles past Chelsea's defenders during the FA Community Shield match. The FA Community Shield, an annual football match contested between the champions of the English Premier League and the FA Cup, marked the beginning of the 2005-2006 football season in England. Alex Hleb, a Belarusian international, had joined Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2005, and this was his first major appearance for the Gunners. The midfielder's skillful ball control, quick footwork, and creative passing were on full display as he weaved through the opposition's defense, leaving them in his wake. Arsenal, led by manager Arsène Wenger, had won the English Premier League title the previous season, while Chelsea, managed by José Mourinho, had won the FA Cup. The FA Community Shield presented an opportunity for both teams to test their mettle against each other before the commencement of the league campaign. The tension was palpable as the two teams faced off, with the Arsenal faithful eagerly anticipating a strong performance from their new signing. Hleb's electrifying display in this match served as a harbinger of things to come, as he went on to become a fan favorite and a vital cog in Arsenal's midfield during his time at the club. This photograph, captured by Arsenal Football Club's official photographer Stuart MacFarlane, encapsulates the excitement and anticipation surrounding Hleb's debut for Arsenal and the beginning of the 2005-2006 football season.
