After Paris Saint-Germain was removed from the list, I led England to victory!

Chapter 152 Today, the sky in North London is red and white.

The North London derby, Arsenal vs. Tottenham, is never short of tension.

There are many interesting things to see today.

Arsenal are in excellent form this season, winning their first Premier League match and closely trailing league leaders Manchester City, finishing second only due to a two-goal deficit in goal difference.

Tottenham are currently in 5th place, and the points gap with their city rivals is like a thorn in the hearts of their home fans.

Even more noteworthy is that Yan Yuan is about to experience his first North London derby in his Arsenal career.

Professor Wenger, as always, was wearing a smart long coat on the sidelines, his hands habitually in his pockets, his expression calm, but his eyes behind his glasses sharply scanned the field.

On the bench next to him, players like Saka had expectant looks in their eyes.

In the stands, the red and white Arsenal fans sang loudly, their voices mingling with the boos from the majority of Tottenham fans, creating a uniquely noisy background sound for Deportivo.

"Beep—!" The referee's whistle pierced through the noise, and the match officially began.

As predicted before the match, Tottenham tried to control the tempo from the start.

Eriksen and Alli frequently passed the ball around in the middle, and Kane cleverly dropped back to the midfield line to receive the pass, trying to avoid being directly marked by Arsenal center-backs Pepe and Monreal.

Winks is responsible for orchestrating play in the defensive midfield position.

Arsenal's strategy in this match was very clear: to retreat as a whole, keep the midfield and defense compact, and severely restrict space.

Ramsey relentlessly harassed Winks, disrupting his passing lanes.

Rodri positioned himself very deep, almost parallel to the two center-backs, forming a solid barrier that made Arsenal's defense appear impenetrable.

严渊和左路的拉卡泽特也深度回撤,整个阵型从4-2-3-1变成了4-5-1,严丝合缝地堵在中场。

The commentator remarked.

"Arsenal started very steadily! Their strategy was clear: focus on defense and tighten the defense. Yan Yuan and Lacazette tracked back very actively, covering a large area and not giving Tottenham any easy opportunities to penetrate through the middle."

Pepe, the experienced and tough Portuguese center-back, became Kane's "bodyguard".

Whenever Kane tried to receive the ball with his back to goal, Pepe was like a moving mountain, firmly blocking his position, his strong body engaging in fierce competition, his arms spread wide, making Kane extremely uncomfortable.

Turning around became difficult, and even controlling the ball became challenging; Kane had rarely been this frustrated.

As soon as Kane received a pass from Winks, Pepe immediately squeezed in from the side and behind, using his shoulder to push the ball cleanly out of bounds with a precise footwork.

"Pepe! A successful contest! He did an excellent job limiting Kane!" the commentator exclaimed.

Tottenham's attacking focus has begun to shift to the flanks, especially the left flank where Son Heung-min plays.

But Arsenal's full-backs were unusually cautious today.

Achraf on the right and Cancelo on the left both positioned themselves deep to prioritize protecting the space in the flanks and to guard against Son Heung-min and Eriksen's cut-in plays.

Son Heung-min attempted to accelerate his breakthrough several times, but Ashraf blocked his path in advance, or Ramsey interfered with his defense.

Around the 10th minute of the match, Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli received a back pass near the halfway line. After observing the situation, he considered sending a diagonal pass to Kane, who had dropped back.

Just as his foot was about to land the pass, Pepe, with his superb anticipation, started moving a step ahead and precisely positioned himself in the passing lane, extending his leg to block the pass.

"Break! Pepe! Beautiful anticipation and steal!" The commentator immediately raised his voice.

Pepe intercepted the ball, and without hesitation, he looked up and delivered a precise long diagonal pass directly to Yan Yuan near the right midfield line.

Yan Yuan started moving the moment the ball left the ground.

He had his back to Tottenham's half of the field, and didn't even turn around completely, just gently swished the inside of his foot.

The ball seemed glued to his feet, allowing him to smoothly complete a high-speed catch and turn!

Trippier rushed forward to block him, but Yan Yuan had already picked up speed!

He dribbled the ball forward with great strides, each touch perfectly timed, demonstrating excellent distance control.

The stadium erupted instantly, with shouts from Arsenal fans coming from the away stands.

"Strict! Strict! Strict!"

The shouts were deafening.

Yan Yuan dribbled the ball across the halfway line at lightning speed, his eyes quickly scanning the area ahead.

He astutely observed Aubameyang's high-speed run down the middle, with Lacazette following closely on the left flank.

Trippier fought and retreated, not daring to press forward easily, and Tottenham's defense became somewhat flustered during the rapid retreat.

Yan Yuan dribbled the ball to the right edge of the penalty area, but did not force his way through against Dier who was coming to cover.

Instead, he decisively passed the ball to Lacazette, who was unmarked on the left wing.

"Great play! Lacazette is open!" the commentator exclaimed.

Lacazette took a step, didn't stop the ball, and directly crossed with his left foot.

The ball arced through the air and flew towards the center of the penalty area!

Unfortunately, Aubameyang was a step too slow, and Alderweireld got there first, blocking his position. In the end, the ball was caught securely by the onrushing goalkeeper Lloris.

"Oh dear! A little too slow! But this counter-attack, from Pepe's interception to Yan Yuan's advance and pass, and then to Lacazette's cross, was executed flawlessly! Arsenal's counter-attack speed and quality are amazing! Yan Yuan's observation of the situation and his choice of passing during the high-speed advance fully demonstrate his broad vision and calm mind!" the commentator excitedly analyzed.

Although no goal was scored, this attack gave all Arsenal fans hope, and the manager applauded his players from the sidelines.

Yan Yuan ran back to his position and gave Lacazette a thumbs-up.

Arsenal gradually stabilized and began to take the initiative, regaining possession.

The role of midfield maestro Rodri is beginning to stand out.

He moved up a bit, calmly receiving the ball, observing, and orchestrating play from the defensive midfield line.

His passes were precise and purposeful, repeatedly directing the ball down the right flank of the team.

The commentary astutely captured the changes.

"Arsenal are starting to control the tempo of the game! Rodri's passing and distribution in midfield are crucial; he's consciously shifting the focus of their attack to Yan Yuan on the right flank! Let's see how Yan Yuan responds!"

The tactical intent was clearly conveyed to the field.

Right-back Achraf Hakimi understood immediately and began to become bolder.

Ashraf no longer limited himself to defense, but frequently pushed forward, forming a sharp "two-man show" on the flanks with Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan demonstrated his top-notch dribbling skills on the wing.

In his first encounter with Trippier, he gently flicked the ball with the outside of his right foot, seemingly heading for the byline, but in the instant Trippier shifted his weight, he used the inside of his left foot to cut the ball back, a clever change of direction that created half a body space, and then crossed with his right foot!

The ball was fast and flat, but unfortunately it was cleared by Alderweireld's header.

For his next attack, Yan Yuan used a different approach.

He received Rodri's pass with his back to goal, and Trippier closed in.

Yan Yuan feigned a downward tilt of his shoulder to the left, but his right foot subtly tapped the ball backward with his heel.

The ball passed between Trippier's legs.

Yan Yuan smoothly turned around Trippier, caught up with the ball, and the whole process was seamless!

"A backheel nutmeg! Yan Yuan, a nimble escape!" the commentator exclaimed.

This time, Yan Yuan didn't choose to cross the ball, but instead decisively cut inside.

Dier was forced to cover, and Yan Yuan feigned a shot, then used his left foot to shift Dier's weight, before passing the ball across to Odegaard, who had made a run into the penalty area, with his less-used left foot.

Unfortunately, Odegaard was a little slow to adjust, and his shot was blocked out of bounds by Winks, who had tracked back to defend.

Trippier was overwhelmed and exhausted by the repeated attacks from Yan Yuan and Ashraf.

Achraf's speed and explosiveness, combined with Yan Yuan's exquisite technique and unpredictable breakthroughs, put Tottenham's left flank defense in a state of panic.

In the 25th minute, Tottenham had just launched an attack when Eriksen attempted a through ball to Kane on the edge of the penalty area, but it was intercepted by Rodri, who had tracked back to defend.

The ball bounced to Ramsey's feet.

Without hesitation, Ramsey immediately passed the ball back to Rodri, who was in a better position.

"Arsenal intercept the ball in their own half! Rodri gets the ball!" The commentator sped up his speech.

Rodri looked up and saw that Ashraf had already shot forward at high speed along the right lane like an arrow.

Rose was desperately trying to catch up, but the young Ashraf was just too fast.

Without hesitation, Rodri adjusted his position, powered through with his right foot, and delivered a precise long pass that spanned almost half the field.

The ball traced a beautiful parabola in the air, as if guided by a navigator, soaring over the crowd and landing precisely in front of the right corner of Tottenham's penalty area.

Achraf arrived just in time and, before the ball went out of bounds, gently tapped it with the outside of his right foot, stopping it obediently in front of him.

Rose was left nearly two meters behind.

"Hakimi! He's too fast! He's caught up! Perfect first touch! No cross!"

Achraf dribbles into the penalty area!

Lloris has covered the near post.

Achraf was unusually calm; he neither rushed his shot nor made a blind cross.

Instead, he took two more steps forward, penetrating to the right edge of the penalty area, close to the baseline.

This choice completely surprised the Tottenham defenders!

Both Dier and Alderweireld were focused on Aubameyang at the far post and Lacazette in the middle.

At that moment, Yan Yuan made a high-speed diagonal run from the right side of the penalty arc to the vicinity of the penalty spot.

He fully anticipated Ashraf's intentions and provided him with the position in time.

"Yan Yuan! It's in! In the gap!" The commentator almost shouted himself hoarse.

Achraf was near the byline, facing Lloris and Vertonghen who came to cover.

Instead of choosing a shot from a tight angle or a pass to the far post, he calmly used the instep of his right foot to deliver a perfectly weighted inverted triangular back pass.

The ball rolled quickly along the grass towards the penalty spot.

Yan Yuan arrived on horseback.

Tottenham's defenders were all retreating towards the goal, and no one immediately stepped up to block the shot.

Yan Yuan made no adjustments. Facing the rolling ball, he stretched his body while running, swung his left leg, and used the inside of his foot to deliver a low, ground-hugging shot.

His shooting motion was fluid and concealed, with perfect power and a tricky angle!

The ball shot like a red lightning bolt straight towards the bottom left corner of the goal!

Lloris reacted with lightning speed, diving to the side, his fingertips seemingly touching the ball, yet also seemingly not.

"GOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!! Yan Yuan!!!" The commentator shouted hoarsely, pushing the atmosphere to its peak.

"Goal! 25th minute! Arsenal 1-0 Tottenham! Yan Yuan! He scores in his first North London derby! What a brilliant teamwork! From Rodri's long pass to Achraf's lightning-fast sprint and perfectly composed cutback pass, and then Yan Yuan's unpredictable run and decisive strike! A textbook counter-attack! Achraf assists, Yan Yuan scores! Yan Yuan once again proves his ability as a top striker to seize opportunities in front of goal! This is his first goal at White Hart Lane!"

After scoring in the derby, Yan Yuan excitedly rushed towards the away fans' stand, opening his arms to welcome the cheers.

He patted the Arsenal crest on his chest, his face beaming with excitement and pride.

Professor Wenger finally broke into a hearty smile on the sidelines, clapping enthusiastically with eyes full of admiration and pride for his young protégé.

With a one-goal lead, Arsenal played with more confidence and composure.

Rodri's pivotal role in midfield is becoming increasingly apparent.

His positioning was excellent, his anticipation was accurate, and he always managed to appear in the path of Tottenham's passes.

In the 30th minute, he made a clean and decisive sliding tackle to intercept Ali's through ball that he was trying to pass to Son Heung-min.

"Rodri, a crucial interception! His protection of the midfield is absolutely vital!" the commentator exclaimed.

The presence of this Spanish defensive midfielder makes Arsenal's midfield incredibly strong.

Ramsey was like a perpetual motion machine, covering the entire midfield area, especially focusing on marking Tottenham's defensive midfielder Winks.

Winks was extremely frustrated by Ramsey's marking, and his passes were frequently blocked, which made Tottenham's attacking and defensive transitions sluggish.

Tottenham were understandably unwilling to accept defeat after conceding a goal, and Kane, Son Heung-min, and others intensified their pressing and individual dribbling in the attacking third in an attempt to equalize as quickly as possible.

However, under Rodri's orchestration, Arsenal's defense was well-organized and did not give the opponent many good opportunities.

Around the 35th minute of the match, Tottenham finally managed to get the ball into the attacking third.

Kane received a pass from Eriksen with his back to goal near the edge of the penalty area.

He tried to repeat his previous tactic, leaning against Pepe behind him, attempting to force his way into the penalty area.

Pepe stayed close, not giving Kane any room to turn around easily.

Kane dribbled around for a while, then suddenly turned and tried to push the ball away with his right foot, attempting to force his way past Pepe!

In that split second, Pepe once again demonstrated his rich experience and precise footwork.

He timed the moment Kane flicked the ball, quickly lowered his center of gravity, and executed a clean and decisive sliding tackle from the side and behind.

His movement was as fast as lightning, and his toe precisely poked the ball.

The ball was cleared out of bounds, and Kane was brought down to the ground!

"Tackling! Pepe! That was crucial! So accurate! A textbook defensive play! Kane hasn't gained any advantage against him today!" the commentator exclaimed excitedly.

Even Wenger on the sidelines couldn't help but applaud this brilliant defensive play.

Pepe stood up and high-fived Monreal in celebration.

Kane looked somewhat helpless.

This successful defense boosted morale and allowed Arsenal to continue controlling the game.

Leading Arsenal were not conservative; they began to patiently pass the ball around in Tottenham's half, looking for opportunities to extend their lead.

Yan Yuan remains a significant threat on the right flank, drawing the defensive attention of Trippier and Winks.

In the 38th minute, another opportunity arose. The ball was passed from Rodri to Yan Yuan on the right wing.

Trippier immediately stepped forward to press the ball, and Winks also moved towards him from the inside.

Yan Yuan remained unusually calm despite being double-teamed.

Instead of forcing a breakthrough, he gently flicked the ball inward with the inside of his right foot, making a feint to cut inside. In the instant that Trippier's center of gravity shifted slightly, he suddenly tapped the ball back with the outside of his right foot!

His pass back was to Ashraf, who was making a high-speed run-up.

Achraf easily received the ball in an unmarked area on the right flank.

He looked up and saw that Tottenham's defense was tilting to this side.

Achraf Hakimi didn't stop the ball; he immediately made a cross, sweeping it towards the edge of the penalty area!

"Odegaard! Get in!" the commentator exclaimed.

The ball found Odegaard precisely in the attacking midfield position.

Odegaard received the ball with his back to the goal, closely marked by Dier.

He made a gesture as if he was about to turn around and send a through ball to Aubameyang, who was making a run into the penalty area.

The feint was so realistic that Dell immediately moved his feet to prepare to block the through ball route.

Just as Dier shifted his weight, Odegaard flicked his ankle, not playing a through ball, but instead deftly passing the ball to his left.

Lacazette easily received the ball in an unmarked area on the left flank!

"Beautiful feint! Pass it to Lacazette! Open!"

Lacazette received the ball on the left edge of the penalty area, facing Vertonghen and Alderweireld who came to cover.

Lacazette didn't hesitate and immediately dribbled inside.

His breakthrough was extremely threatening, forcing Vertonghen and Alderweireld to quickly retreat, while Aubameyang near the penalty spot in the middle also drew Dier's pursuit back.

Lacazette's entire defense was pinned down by his cut inside, compressing the left side of the penalty area.

Just as the defensive line tightened, a tall figure keenly spotted the huge gap at the top of the penalty area.

It was Rodri again. He made a high-speed forward run from the defensive midfield position without anyone noticing.

Lacazette dribbled inside to the left side of the penalty area, and he remained very alert despite being surrounded.

Instead of forcing a shot, he calmly passed the ball back with the instep of his right foot to the edge of the penalty area, where it had just been cleared.

"Back to the ball! Good shot! Rodri!!"

The ball, as if guided by precision, rolled into Rodri's sprint path.

The Spanish midfielder arrived quickly, took a step, and from about 25 yards out of the goal, he met the rolling ball with his right leg and unleashed a powerful shot.

Bang!

The ball, like a cannonball, hurtled through the air with a whooshing sound, without any spin, and nestled into the top left corner of the goal.

That ball was incredibly fast.

Goalkeeper Lloris made a save attempt, but the ball was too tricky and too fast; his fingertips couldn't even touch it.

"GOOOOOOALLLLLL!!!!!!!!! Rodri!!!!!!" The commentator went wild again. "A world-class goal! An absolute world-class goal! A stunning long-range shot! Arsenal 2-0! Less than 40 minutes into the game, Arsenal are two goals ahead of Tottenham!"

Rodri's goal sent the entire Arsenal bench into a frenzy.

Rhodes himself ran and roared excitedly, and his teammates gathered together again to celebrate wildly.

Professor Wenger waved his arms excitedly and hugged his assistant tightly.

White Hart Lane fell into a deathly silence, with disbelief and frustration written on the faces of Tottenham fans.

Being down 0-2 at halftime, and against a fierce city rival, is a feeling that's hard to describe.

Before the end of the first half, Tottenham finally created a decent threat.

Son Heung-min received the ball on the left wing, cut inside, shook off Achraf's defense, and then curled a right-footed shot into the far corner.

The shot was of high quality, but Arsenal goalkeeper Martin was highly focused and made a diving save to catch the ball securely in his arms.

"Martinez! A brilliant save! Keeping the goal intact! This first half has been almost perfect for Arsenal!" the commentator concluded.

At halftime, Arsenal went into the locker room with a 2-0 lead.

The second half begins after halftime.

"Beep—!" The whistle blew for the second half.

Like a cornered beast, Tottenham launched a frenzied attack from the very beginning.

Kane, Son Heung-min, and Eriksen launched a high press in the attacking third, with aggressive and menacing moves.

The commentator immediately noticed the change.

"Tottenham are changing their formation, starting with a fast break and high press! They need to turn the tide as soon as possible! Arsenal's defense needs to withstand this attack!"

Passing the ball around in the backfield became somewhat difficult.

Pepe and Monreal remained calm, making several crucial positioning plays and header clearances to defuse the threat of the long pass.

Rodri became a key player in the midfield tempo.

Faced with Tottenham's onslaught, he steadily controlled the tempo, using Ramsey and the retreating Odegaard as support points to cleverly wear down and neutralize Tottenham's fierce attacks.

The commentator praised it.

"I must say, Arsenal's defensive formation was excellent in this match. Against Tottenham's initial onslaught, Rodri's ball control and distribution were crucial, and the central defensive pairing of Pepe and Monreal was rock solid! They successfully weathered the most dangerous moment!"

Soon after, Arsenal's dormant fangs were revealed again, once again through that sharp right flank, but this time, right-wing commander Yan Yuan's strategy became more flexible.

He no longer focused on breaking through on the flanks, but instead frequently moved towards the center.

Sometimes they even stand parallel to Odegaard, forming a very threatening dual-core attacking formation.

Yan Yuan's unpredictable location left Winks and Dale feeling overwhelmed and unable to keep up.

In the 50th minute, Arsenal passed the ball around several times on the left side of their own half, and it returned to Rodri's feet.

Tottenham's pressing formation was somewhat loose.

Rodri, with his keen eyes, spotted the opening and took a step forward, decisively sending out a through ball.

The ball pierced through Tottenham's first loose defensive line and accurately found Yan Yuan, who had retreated to the center circle.

This is absolutely a masterpiece of strategic vision and strategic thinking.

The moment Yan Yuan received the ball with his back to the goal, his vision had already swept across the entire court like a radar.

He knew that Tottenham's left-back Danny Rose, having pushed forward in the previous attack, was still desperately trying to get back to defend.

Yan Yuan left behind a vast open space!

At the same time, Odegaard, like an arrow released from a bow, had already started at high speed from the middle lane and diagonally inserted into that huge unguarded gap.

The time is now!

Yan Yuan made no adjustments whatsoever. With his back to the direction of attack, he used his supporting foot as a pivot and his upper body coordinated perfectly to complete a half-turn in the direction the ball was rolling.

At the same time, his right foot swung out in a precise arc like a compass, striking the bottom of the ball firmly with the inside of his foot.

"Long pass! Yan Yuan!! A diagonal pass to the left flank! This is absolutely the best solution!!" The commentator's voice suddenly rose, filled with amazement.

The ball whistled across the center line, skimming the grass, avoiding the flustered Alderweireld, and landed precisely in the vast open space behind Rose.

There, Odegaard, receiving the ball, used an extremely smooth passing motion to bring it to a steady stop within two steps in front of him.

He looked up and saw that Lori had already abandoned the gate and rushed out to block him from the side.

"Odegaard is almost one-on-one with the attacker, Lloris!"

A glimpse into life and death in the blink of an eye.

Out of the corner of his eye, Odegaard saw Lacazette rushing towards the penalty spot from the middle.

Without the slightest hesitation, and without being blinded by the desire to break through, he calmly pushed out a perfectly weighted cross to the left with the instep of his right foot.

The ball slid quickly past the edge of the six-yard box, bypassing Vertonghen's blockade, and was precisely delivered to Lacazette, who arrived at the last minute.

At this moment, Lacazette only had an open goal in front of him, as Lloris had been completely transferred away.

Without any pressure, Lacazette simply stretched his body and easily pushed the ball into the air with his left foot.

"GOOOOOOALLLLLLL!!! Lacazette!!! Open goal! Absolutely an open goal! Arsenal are 3-0 up! My God! This goal, this goal! From Rodri's initiation, to Yan Yuan's surgical long pass that spanned half the field, to Odegaard's selfless cross, and then Lacazette's fatal strike! Flowing smoothly! Completely in one go! Yan Yuan's vision and passing accuracy in this goal are simply breathtaking!" The commentator was full of passion.

Away Arsenal fans

The roar of "3-0! 3-0!" shook the stands.

Lacazette rushed ecstatically toward the corner flag and slid down to celebrate.

Yan Yuan and Erdegaard ran to meet him from a distance, and the three of them embraced, their faces beaming with uncontrollable smiles.

Professor Wenger stood up from the coaching bench, clapped his hands vigorously, and smiled broadly, praising the textbook-perfect fast counterattack and precise strike.

Trailing by three goals, a tremendous sense of humiliation filled the hearts of the Tottenham players.

The tension in the competition instantly became overwhelming.

Yan Yuan, the young and crucial number 7, has become a thorn in the side of Tottenham fans with his one goal and one assist, and is naturally the main target of the players on the field.

Just minutes later, Yan Yuan tried to get the ball on the right side of midfield again, but Davis rushed in from the side and made an extremely vicious sliding tackle from behind.

"Oh!!!" The entire audience gasped.

Yan Yuan fell to the ground and rolled over.

"At least a yellow card! A straight red card wouldn't be an exaggeration! Davis! That was a very dangerous tackle from behind!" the commentator shouted angrily.

The referee did not hesitate to show a yellow card.

Arsenal players angrily surrounded and protested.

Fortunately, Yan Yuan rested on the ground for a while and eventually stood up at the referee's signal. He moved his ankle and, although it was still a little painful, it was just a scrape and nothing serious.

In the stands, Tottenham fans unleashed a deafening chorus of boos and insults, interspersed with vulgar and offensive language.

The target of their insults was clearly Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan heard this, but he remained expressionless, not even glancing towards the stands. He simply adjusted his socks coldly.

An even more absurd scene followed.

During a scuffle near the sideline, Yan Yuan tried to shield the ball and get away, but Tottenham center-back Alderweireld grabbed Yan Yuan's number 7 jersey tightly from behind.

The two exerted force at the same time, and a "ripping" sound was heard.

Yan Yuan's jersey was torn open from his shoulder to his chest by brute force, leaving a long rip!

Yan Yuan wasn't wearing any undershirt today, and her pink nipples were showing.

"My God! Yan's jersey is ripped! Alderweireld! That move... was so rough! Look how badly that jersey is torn!" The commentator's voice changed in shock.

Even some Tottenham fans in the away stands made a sound of disbelief.

Alderweireld immediately released his grip and spread his hands to indicate his innocence.

Yan Yuan glanced down at his torn jersey without even frowning.

He didn't argue or pay attention to the other party. After the referee stopped the game, he immediately ran to the sidelines.

The fourth official was already waiting with a spare, brand-new number 7 jersey.

Yan Yuan completed the substitution with astonishing efficiency in just over ten seconds and returned to the field with a sharp look in his eyes.

This ruthless professionalism once again drew thunderous applause from the away fans!

The chant of "Yan! Yan! Yan!" grew even louder.

Seeing him being targeted like this, his teammates were already furious.

Yan Yuan and Pei Pei exchanged a glance.

The counterattack has begun!

Just two minutes later, Son Heung-min dribbled down the right flank, attempting to break past Cancelo.

Yan Yuan arrived at high speed on his way back to defend.

Without flinching, he executed a precise and deliberate sliding tackle the moment Son Heung-min attempted to change direction.

The ball was cleanly shoved away!

The force was so great that Son Heung-min couldn't stop and fell over.

"Yan Yuan! Beautiful defensive tackle! Very tough! This is a declaration of his stance!" the commentator shouted.

Yan Yuan stood up, glanced down at Son Heung-min who was lying on the ground covering his face, and then turned and ran back to his seat.

A cacophony of boos erupted from the Tottenham Hotspur stands, as people began hurling insults at Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan shrugged indifferently at this.

Next up is Pepe!

Son Heung-min received the ball with his back to goal near the center circle, preparing to turn around.

Pepe came crashing down like a heavy tank!

With his incredibly strong shoulder, he delivered a perfectly timed and powerful slam from the side and rear, making good use of the rules!

Son Heung-min was knocked to the ground by the entire bat.

"Beep!" The whistle blew, but unexpectedly, the referee only gave Pepe a warning and signaled for the game to continue.

There was no foul; this was a successful physical confrontation.

"Pepe! Tough! So tough! This confrontation was completely within the rules! Son Heung-min looks very embarrassed! Tottenham's morale has been completely shattered by these two tough defensive plays from Arsenal players!" The commentator's voice was full of admiration for the Arsenal fighters.

Pepe glared fiercely at Son Heung-min on the ground and patted the team badge on his chest.

Son Heung-min got up from the ground, his face full of frustration and confusion. His spirit and drive had been completely crushed by these two blows.

In the 65th minute, Arsenal won a corner kick on the right.

Odegaard stood next to the corner flag.

The Tottenham penalty area was packed with players, with both sides colliding and shoving each other.

Yan Yuan was near the penalty spot when Alderweireld clung to him like glue, constantly making small, irritating gestures with his hands.

Yan Yuan suddenly started running, first pretending to run backwards, then making an extremely nimble stop and run, instantly leaving Alderweireld half a body length behind.

At this crucial moment, Ødegaard's corner kick drew a rapid and tricky arc, flying precisely towards the far post.

That's the position Alderweireld just lost track of.

The timing was perfect.

After breaking free of his restraints, Yan Yuan jumped with all his might.

He leaped up like a rocket, overpowering all the Tottenham players who were trying to contest the header.

His neck muscles tightened like steel bars, and his forehead slammed into the middle of the incoming ball.

"Headline!!! Yan Yuan!!!"

As soon as the sound faded, a muffled "thump" was heard!

The ball, like a white lightning bolt, slammed into the bottom left corner of the goal with unparalleled decisiveness.

Goalkeeper Lloris made a desperate dive to the side, his fingertips barely touching the ball, but he was powerless to stop the thunderous force and the tricky angle.

"GOOOOOOOALLLLLL!!!!!" The commentator went completely wild. "Another goal! A brace away from home! Yan Yuan!!! After suffering rough treatment, he used his most perfect weapon—a goal—to fiercely retaliate against his opponent! An unstoppable header! Arsenal lead 4-0! The game is no longer in doubt! This 18-year-old prodigy has dominated the game in his first North London derby! He's incredible!"

Gunners fans were overjoyed, venting their frustrations, and exclaiming in disbelief.

After landing, Yan Yuan pointed his hands sharply at the Arsenal crest on his chest and let out a thunderous roar.

His eyes burned with anger, pride, and the thrill of revenge.

His teammates rushed over, hugging and patting him, expressing their immense excitement.

Professor Wenger was also on the sidelines, high-fiving his assistants and beaming with immense satisfaction and relief.

The outcome was already decided; the 4-0 scoreline practically sealed the game.

More importantly, Yan Yuan, as the team's biggest offensive threat, has become the opponent's main target and could suffer more serious injuries at any time.

The protégé has already scored twice, so the professor made a protective substitution.

In the 70th minute of the match, Saka came on and replaced Yan Yuan on the familiar right wing.

When Yan Yuan left the stage.

The away Arsenal fans in the stands immediately stood up.

A deafening roar of applause and shouts of "Yan! Yan! Yan!" swept across the stadium like a tsunami.

This is the highest tribute to his dream performance in this game.

Yan Yuan clapped in response to the fans as he jogged off the field.

Sweat soaked his hair, and a victorious smile graced his face.

He gave Saka a high-five as he ran onto the field, then ran to Professor Wenger on the sidelines.

The professor opened his arms and gave him a big, approving hug.

"You've really worked hard, kid. You always do such a great job," the professor couldn't help but praise his beloved student.

The narrator spoke emotionally.

"Fans, stand up! This is the highest tribute to a superhero! Yan Yuan has been substituted, delivering a perfect performance with a brace! He orchestrated this epic North London derby! In the very first derby, he demonstrated who the master of this place truly is!"

Tottenham Hotspur had already suffered a crushing defeat, their morale had completely collapsed, and their organization was in complete disarray.

With the three lines disconnected, the players gradually started playing their own games.

Arsenal, on the other hand, firmly controlled the tempo of the game, with Rodri as the core, patiently and safely passing the ball around in the midfield and backfield, running down the remaining time.

Saka displayed youthful energy in his familiar right winger position, frequently challenging the exhausted Rose.

In the 82nd minute, a bright spot in Saka's play ignited a period of uneventful possession.

He received a pass from Ramsey near the center line on the right flank and immediately turned to face Rose.

Saka first feigned cutting inside, then suddenly used the outside of his right foot to flick the ball outwards, using the explosive power to accelerate and make a run.

Rose, who had been holding on for most of the game, could no longer keep up and was left behind.

"Saka! He's beautifully outmaneuvered Rose!"

Saka dribbled the ball all the way to near the byline. This time, unlike Achraf, he didn't venture deep into the paint; instead, he calmly observed the center.

He noticed that Aubameyang, like a lurking cheetah, had already quietly started moving, heading straight for the penalty spot.

Saka decisively used the instep of his left foot to deliver a low, triangular back pass.

The ball rolled quickly past the edge of the six-yard box, avoiding Vertonghen's attempt to clear the ball.

Aubameyang understood perfectly. His timing and positioning were superb. Facing the rolling ball, he didn't hesitate at all and gently pushed it with his right foot.

"Aubameyang!!!"

The ball obediently rolled into the bottom left corner of the goal.

Lorry was too far away to reach him.

"GOOOOOALLLLLLLLL! Aubameyang! Saka assists! Arsenal 5-0!!!! 5-0!!!!!! This is an absolute massacre! Saka came on and immediately provided an assist, and Aubameyang didn't leave empty-handed either! Adding to the glory!" The commentator's voice was filled with incredulous amazement.

5-0!

Arsenal fans hugged, jumped, and sang in the away stands!

The song "We are the Kings of North London!" resounded through the sky.

Aubameyang smiled and pointed to Saka, who had provided the assist for him; the young player's face was full of excitement.

Ramsey ran over and ruffled Saka's hair.

"Bukayo, well done!!!" On the sidelines, Yan Yuan also raised his hands and applauded Saka from the bench, praising him for his excellent performance.

With the outcome already decided, the 5-0 scoreline rendered the remaining time meaningless.

Arsenal maintained possession firmly, skillfully and safely passing the ball between their own half and the opponent's half.

The Tottenham players had long lost their will to fight and just wanted to end this nightmare as soon as possible.

Professor Wenger stood quietly at the edge of the coaching area, his hands in his trench coat pockets.

A cool night breeze ruffled his silvery hair, his deep gaze sweeping over the clock before turning to the distance.

The injury time quietly slipped away.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!!"

Three long whistles, as if lifting a ban, tore through the air and finally rang out.

The pent-up jubilation in the audience erupted like a volcano.

Everyone on the bench rushed onto the field like arrows released from a bow.

Rodri and Ramsey embraced; veterans Pepe and Monreal gave each other a high five, seemingly relieved.

Aubameyang hugged Saka, who had provided the assist, and laughed heartily; Ramsey raised his arms and roared towards the stands;

Yan Yuan was sandwiched between Lacazette, Odegaard, and Ashraf. The four of them jumped and laughed, as if they would never get tired.

"Match over!!!" The commentator's voice trembled and became hoarse with extreme excitement.

"Arsenal! A resounding victory! An unprecedented 5-0! They slaughtered Tottenham Hotspur away from home in the most exhilarating and undeniable way! A great victory in the North London derby for Arsenal!"

Today, the sky in North London is red and white!

Professor Wenger was surrounded by his students as he entered the arena.

He didn't make any exaggerated movements, but simply patted the players' shoulders and backs one by one, with a gentle yet incredibly proud smile on his lips.

When he walked over to Yan Yuan, who was being lifted and tossed into the air by his teammates, his eyes were filled with admiration for his beloved disciple.

In the stands, an ocean of happiness was surging.

The Arsenal fans were singing their team anthem, "North London Forever," at a deafening volume.

Under the guidance of the shining star Yan Yuan, the new Arsenal has taken a solid and impressive first step towards a new dynasty.
