an official honour in the english game, the community shield is the first competitive game of the new top-flight english football season. however, it has been considered by some to be a minor trophy and community shield games may not be as hotly contested as other trophy finals. the tournament, along with other domestic super cups, generally receives far higher status in the rest of europe than in britain, where the game has been described by some domestic media sources, including mark lawrenson, as a "glorified friendly". prior to the 2008 fa community shield, manchester united manager sir alex ferguson summarised his opinion of the competition: "the community shield is a prestigious match but i have used players in it who were not quite fit... it's always a game we never quite use as a do or die thing; we use it as a barometer for fitness". on the other hand, many media, clubs and players continue to recognise the importance of the match as the first official game and trophy of the domestic season. ahead of the 2016 fa community shield against manchester united, leicester city manager claudio ranieri asked, "why do you say this question, a friendly? when is the community shield a friendly? of course we will be at the maximum and manchester united will be at their maximum. the two teams want to win. i am very excited." the following year, chelsea manager antonio conte affirmed the significance of the cup, stating "it is not a friendly game. it is an official game and there is a trophy so for us it must be important" ahead of his side's clash with arsenal, the team that had denied his club the double the previous season. likewise in 2018, manchester city manager pep guardiola referred to his side's clash with chelsea in the competition as "the first final" of the season.
