The support from Pepe, Ashraf, and Ramsey is equally crucial.

After Yan Yuan was assaulted, Pepe rushed forward immediately, confronting Lü Dige with a tough stance, and even "retaliating" with her body.

Achraf used his lightning speed and explosive power to keep attacking Alonso from behind.

He made the Spanish full-back unable to cover everything and dare not push forward easily.

Ramsey, meanwhile, tirelessly ran and tackled in the midfield area, relentlessly chasing Jorginho like a hound.

Cutting off Jorginho's supply lines to Hazard severely limited the performance of Chelsea's key player.

In the 31st minute, Chelsea's attack in the attacking third failed, and the ball was passed back to Giroud. Giroud, with his back to goal, tried to receive the ball and turn around on the edge of Arsenal's penalty area.

Pepe, this experienced and tough center-back, demonstrated his top-notch anticipation and pressing abilities.

He seized the moment Giroud adjusted his center of gravity and sprang into action like a cheetah.

A clean sliding tackle,

He poked the ball with his toe!

"Pepe! Beautiful steal! Clean!" the commentator exclaimed.

Pepe intercepted the ball.

He immediately passed the ball to Ramsey, who was in a better position!

Wales midfielder Ramsey looks up to observe as he receives the ball.

His gaze swept across the entire venue.

Yan Yuan has already broken through Chelsea's obstruction on the right flank.

Even with Kanté's help defense, he couldn't be stopped.

Ramsey adjusted his position, planted his foot firmly, and flexed the arch of his right foot before delivering a powerful and precise long diagonal pass.

The ball flew like a cruise missile, tracing a beautiful arc and landing precisely in the open space on the right flank of Chelsea's half!

"Long pass! Ramsey! Find Yan Yuan! An opportunity!"

Yan Yuan had already started moving at full speed after breaking through the encirclement.

Arsenal's number 7, the red and white lightning, instantly shook off Alonso, who was trying to create an offside trap!

Offside trap successfully broken!

He strode after the ball.

Alonso and Rudiger, who were tracking back, tried to close the goal to defend!

Despite being attacked from both sides, Yan Yuan did not slow down in the slightest.

He pushed the ball forward with his right foot, using his explosive power and physical strength to squeeze through the gap between Alonso and Rüdiger that were about to close in.

No, to be more precise.

It must have crashed into it.

Yan Yuan is now more eager to fight than ever before.

Alonso was knocked off balance by the impact of Yan Yuan's tall and strong body!

Rüdiger was also pulled off balance!

"It's over! Yan Yuan! He overtook us! He's stormed into Chelsea's penalty area! My God, he's like a rugby player now!!!" the commentator exclaimed.

Yan Yuan dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area.

The shooting angle was already quite narrow.

David Luiz quickly moved to cover and blocked the near post shot.

Goalkeeper Kepa also rushed out of his goal to block the angle!

Just as Yan Yuan broke through, Norwegian midfielder Ødegaard made a ghostly incursion into the penalty area from the flank!

He astutely spotted the huge gap that appeared near the penalty spot in the middle after Luis covered for the ball!

Yan Yuan had already spotted Odegaard's movement out of the corner of his eye.

Because Luis had already blocked most of the shooting angles, he did not choose to shoot himself.

Then, Yan Yuan used the instep of his right foot to deliver a low, triangular back pass with exquisite power and angle.

The ball skimmed along the grass at an extremely high speed.

He precisely pierced through the narrow gap between Kanté, who was chasing back, and Rüdiger, who was trying to block him!

"Yan Yuan goes back to play!!! Odegaard is there to support!!!"

The ball, as if guided by precision, rolled to the vicinity of the penalty spot!

Odegaard arrived on horseback, unguarded.

He met the ball with a gentle push from the instep of his left foot!

"Odegaard!!! Shot!! GOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!" The commentator went into a frenzy.

"Goal!!! Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea! Yan Yuan assist! Odegaard's decisive strike! Perfect counter-attack! Perfect teamwork! Pepe's tackle! Ramsey's precise long pass! Yan Yuan's powerful breakthrough and selfless assist! Odegaard's calm finish! A textbook team goal!"

The Emirates Stadium erupted in cheers, a sea of ​​red and white creating a massive wave.

Odegaard and Yan Yuan demonstrated their newly devised celebratory poses.

The two of them first grabbed each other's wrists.

Then, bowing to the stands on either side, with one hand behind their back and crossed steps, they performed a graceful thank-you gesture, reminiscent of a dance performance. (Referencing Neymar's elegant dance thank-you celebration)

Pepe, Ramsey, Ashraf...

All the teammates rushed over to celebrate.

On the sidelines, Professor Wenger pumped his fist and a satisfied smile spread across his face.

This goal perfectly combined Arsenal's tactical execution with the individual ability of their star player.

Just eight minutes later, Arsenal came back stronger.

Chelsea launched an attack from their own half, attempting to recover from the blow of conceding a goal.

David Luiz passed the ball to Jorginho near the center circle.

Jorginho receives the ball with his back to goal and tries to turn around to get rid of Ramsey's challenge.

Portuguese legend Pepe once again demonstrated his top-notch aggression and opportune timing in pressing forward.

Like a tiger that has caught the scent of blood, he suddenly started moving from the center-back position and made a high-speed tackle.

Just as Jorginho turned around, Pepe poked the ball out with precise right foot.

"Pepe! He's made a tackle! He's intercepted the ball!" the commentator exclaimed.

Pepe cleanly poked the ball away from Jorginho's feet.

The ball rolled right to Ramsey's feet!

Ramsey received the ball without pausing.

He looked up and glanced at Chelsea's defense.

Because the ball was intercepted in the backfield, Chelsea's defense was not yet fully in position.

Ramsey dribbled the ball forward with great strides.

Kante and Jorginho are desperately chasing back!

Ramsey dribbled the ball to about 25 yards outside the penalty area!

He observed that Chelsea defenders Luiz and Rudiger were positioned somewhat deep, while goalkeeper Kepa was positioned slightly forward.

Instead of passing the ball to Aubameyang or Yan Yuan, who were in better positions, he decisively adjusted his footwork and swung his right foot!

"Ramsey! He's about to take a long shot!!!" The commentator stood up.

Thud! A muffled sound!

The ball, like a cannonball, spun sharply and whistled through the air, drawing a powerful arc that nestled into the top left corner of the goal!

Absolutely a blind spot!

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa made a desperate diving save, but the ball was too fast and the angle was too tricky.

His fingertips didn't even touch the ball!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!" The commentator screamed again! "A world-class goal! Ramsey! A stunning long-range shot! Arsenal 2-0! Pepe's crucial tackle! Ramsey's violent beauty! An unstoppable world-class goal! Kepa has no chance!"

The frenzy at the Emirates Stadium has reached a new peak.

All the red figures were jumping and shouting.

Ramsey excitedly rushed to the sidelines and slid down to celebrate.

The teammates rushed forward again in a frenzy.

Pepe laughed and patted Ramsey on the back.

This goal perfectly showcased Pepe's defensive aggression and Ramsey's ability to score from deep runs.

It also completely ignited the passion at the Emirates Stadium!

With less than ten minutes left in the first half, Chelsea players, who had conceded two goals, were filled with frustration and disbelief.

Chelsea's defense started to play more aggressively, especially Rudiger.

During a defensive play against Yan Yuan's breakthrough, Rüdiger made an extremely rough move, sweeping Yan Yuan down from the side and behind.

This is a clear yellow card offense.

"Beep!" The referee rushed over without hesitation and showed Rudiger a yellow card!

"Yellow card! Rüdiger! That move was too dangerous! He was clearly aiming at a person!" the commentator criticized. A huge chorus of boos and curses erupted from the stands.

Yan Yuan lay on the ground. He only stood up after confirming that Lü Dige had received a yellow card. He brushed the grass clippings off his body and glared at Lü Dige.

Since the first half was nearing its end and it wasn't convenient to do anything more, Yan Yuan decided to temporarily set aside his grudge against Lü Dig.

He already had a plan in mind.

Chelsea attempted a comeback in the final minutes, but Arsenal's morale was high, and their defensive formation remained extremely compact, giving their opponents no openings.

"Beep—! Beep—!"

The whistle finally blew to signal halftime.

Arsenal 2-0 Chelsea.

The Emirates Stadium erupted in a deafening roar of cheers that swept across the entire stadium like a tsunami.

The players high-fived each other and headed toward the players' tunnel.

Yan Yuan and Captain Ramsey walked side by side, both wearing victorious smiles.

Professor Wenger stood at the entrance of the passageway, giving each of his students a high-five as they came down from the stage, his face showing satisfaction and approval.

As Yan Yuan walked by, the professor patted him on the shoulder, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

In the stands, waves of red and white surged and sang.

The huge Henry TIFO logo gleamed under the lights, proclaiming that the legendary spirit was burning brightly in the new generation of gunners.

The brilliant performance in the first 45 minutes convinced all Arsenal fans that Arsenal's glorious era is making a strong comeback on this familiar green field!
