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

On the day of the training camp, the sun shone brightly on the lawn of the St. George Park training base.

The England national team's training camp at this moment is more like an elite football academy, full of vigor and boundless energy.

Because there are more young people this time.

The "youth storm" advocated by Southgate is most directly reflected here.

On the training ground today, the most eye-catching figures were not established stars like Kane and Sterling, but the group of young people surrounding Yan Yuan.

Rice, West Ham United's midfield stalwart, tall and composed, was listening attentively to Yan Yuan's explanation of the running routes.

Sancho, the Dortmund winger, with his signature mischievous smile on his face, imitated the phoenix tail spinning over a person's ankle that Yan Yuan had just demonstrated.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool's assist machine, gestures out famous passing angles from the sidelines;

Alli and Rashford were also there, laughing and discussing their earlier teamwork.

"Yan, can you do that 'Phoenix Tail Spin' move again? It was too fast just now, I didn't see it clearly!" Sang Qiao said, like a student with a strong thirst for knowledge.

"Alright, then you'd better watch out this time. Declan, you're the one guarding me." Yan Yuan smiled and said to Rice.

Rice will play the role of defender.

Then, with the ball under his feet, facing Rice, Yan Yuan suddenly swayed left and right, his feet flashing over the ball like butterflies flitting among flowers.

Rice's center of gravity was shaken from side to side.

Just as Rice instinctively stretched out his foot to intercept, Yan Yuan subtly flicked his right foot outward with the outside of his foot.

The ball obediently passed between Rice's legs, and Yan Yuan immediately accelerated, easily dribbling past it.

"My God!" Sancho's eyes lit up. "That was amazing! The flexibility and deception of that ankle—that move is so hard to learn, but it's incredibly visually appealing!"

Yan Yuan patiently broke down the movements and explained the key points.

"In that split second, your center of gravity should be low, your upper body should sway dramatically, but your footwork should be quick and concealed. When you flick the ball, your ankle should be relaxed, using a clever touch..."

After a while, the rondo training was in full swing.

Seven or eight young players formed a circle, with two in the middle responsible for catching the ball.

The ball was passed to Yan Yuan, who faced Ali who was rushing towards him. He executed an extremely realistic fake pass and dunk, easily creating an angle and passing the ball to Arnold on the outside.

Arnold, without controlling the ball, delivered a precise diagonal pass to Rashford, who then passed it back to Sancho...

The ball was passed swiftly at the young man's feet, as smoothly as the meshing of gears in a precision instrument, full of imagination and a sense of speed.

Rice and another player were scrambling to get the ball in the middle, drawing laughter from those around them.

"Yan! Well done!" Arnold shouted.

"Sancho! Don't hold onto the ball! Pass it quickly!" Rashford reminded him with a smile.

"Declan! Come on! Get it!" Sancho teased Rice while skillfully shielding the ball.

Yan Yuan stood outside the circle, looking at his talented and energetic teammates with a gentle smile on his face.

He didn't intentionally play the role of "leader," but his skills, vision, composure, and the confidence honed in top-level competitions made him stand out.

This naturally made Yan Yuan the focus and "leader" of this group of young geniuses.

Yan Yuan is happy to share, happy to communicate, and even happier to see his teammates make progress.

This harmonious atmosphere filled the entire training ground with positive energy.

Southgate watched this scene from the sidelines, filled with emotion, thinking that these kids had really matured a lot.

……

On March 22, Wembley Stadium was packed to capacity.

England's national team faced their first opponent in the European Championship qualifiers: Montenegro.

When the starting lineup was announced over the loudspeaker, and the name "Number 7, Yan Yuan" was read out, the entire stadium erupted in thunderous applause and cheers!

The shouts of "Yan 7" rose and fell.

Wearing a white jersey with the number 7, Yan Yuan stood at the entrance of the player tunnel, took a deep breath, and stared straight ahead.

England displayed overwhelming dominance from the start of the match.

The midfield is anchored by Henderson and Rice, providing physicality and control, while the attacking line of Kane, Rashford, and Yan Yuan is firing on all cylinders.

In the 18th minute, Yan Yuan made his first flash of brilliance. He received a pass from Arnold on the right wing, and with a simple acceleration and change of direction, he bypassed the Montenegrin defender.

Instead of crossing, he passed the ball back to the edge of the penalty area, where Alli unleashed a powerful shot that nestled into the top corner!

1-0!

In the 35th minute, Rashford broke through on the left and crossed to the middle. Kane cleverly let the ball pass, and Yan Yuan arrived at the far post.

He calmly adjusted his position, faced the goalkeeper, and used the instep of his right foot to push the ball into the far corner!

2-0!

This was not Yan Yuan's first goal for the national team.

But this was his first goal while wearing the number 7 jersey.

He ran to the sidelines and made a celebratory gesture with his arms outstretched towards the stands.

Wembley is boiling over!

In the second half, Yan Yuan's performance continued!

In the 58th minute, Yan Yuan received the ball in the middle, attracted three defenders, and then skillfully flicked the ball to Rashford with his heel.

Rashford didn't waste the opportunity this time, slotting home a one-on-one chance.

3-0! Yan Yuan provides his second assist!

In the 72nd minute, England won a free kick in the attacking third. Yan Yuan stood in front of the ball, but instead of shooting directly, he gently chipped the ball into the penalty area.

In the crowd, a tall figure leaped high into the air.

It's Declan Rice.

He overpowered the defender and delivered a powerful header! The ball slammed into the net!

4-0!

"GOAL!!! Declan Rice!!! First goal for the national team!!! An assist from Yan Yuan!!!" the commentator shouted excitedly!

Yan Yuan could have scored the goal himself, but he still hoped that his new teammate could score in his debut.

Fortunately, Rice seized the opportunity.

Rice was overjoyed after scoring the goal.

He charged madly toward the corner flag, then turned around, opened his arms, and looked for someone to assist him.

Yan Yuan rushed over laughing, and the two embraced tightly. Rice patted Yan Yuan's back hard, his face filled with pure joy and gratitude.

The cameras on the sidelines keenly captured this scene:

Two young, handsome, and exceptionally talented individuals embraced tightly, bathed in sunlight, creating a scene as beautiful as a movie poster.

Social media soon erupted:

"The England men's model team belongs to that group."

"Since Rice and Yan get along so well, will Rice go to Arsenal next season?"

"That would be great if they really went there. I'll only watch Arsenal in the Premier League from now on."

In the 85th minute, Kane dropped back to pass the ball to Yan Yuan, who received it on the edge of the penalty area, made a slight adjustment, and unleashed a powerful shot.

The ball flew like a cannonball, heading straight for the top left corner of the goal.

5-0! A brace!

Near the end of the match, Henderson assisted Rashford to score the final goal.

England ultimately thrashed Montenegro 6-0.

Yan Yuan scored two goals and provided two assists, contributing to four goals in total. He was undisputed to be the best player of the match, and his debut as number 7 was dazzling.

……

Just three days later.

On March 25, England moved to an away game against the Czech Republic.

The resounding victory in the first match boosted the team's morale, and Yan Yuan's hot streak instilled fear in the opponents.

The match was one-sided from the start. England's attack was like a tidal wave.

In the 15th minute, Rice returned the favor by intercepting the ball in midfield and delivering a precise long pass over the top.

Yan Yuan understood immediately and successfully broke the offside trap.

One-on-one with the goalkeeper, he calmly slotted the ball into the net!

1-0! Rice's first assist for the national team went to Yan Yuan!

Yan Yuan and Rice pointed at each other from a distance and celebrated.

In the 28th minute, Ali made a brilliant pass. Ali received the ball on the edge of the penalty area, attracted the attention of the defense, and then sent a hidden through ball with the outside of his foot. Yan Yuan made a diagonal run and fired a powerful shot into the near corner from a tight angle!

2-0! A brace!

In the 41st minute, Kane converted the penalty! 3-0!

The slaughter continues in the second half!

In the 55th minute, Sterling broke through on the left and crossed the ball, and Yan Yuan arrived at the far post to easily tap it into the empty net.

4-0! Yan Yuan completes a hat trick!

In the 68th minute, Yan Yuan received a cross from Maguire at the edge of the penalty area, made a slight adjustment, and unleashed a powerful shot.

The ball soared into the net! 5-0!

Four goals in the European Championship qualifiers!

After scoring, Yan Yuan opened his arms and accepted the applause from the entire stadium. Southgate couldn't help but applaud him from the sidelines as well.

In the 71st minute, Southgate substituted Sancho for Yan Yuan, the hero of the match.

Yan Yuan walked off the field amidst applause from the fans, and at the same time gave Sancho a high-five and a hug, marking Sancho's entry onto the field.

In the 82nd minute, Sancho shone. Sterling broke down the right flank and cut the ball back, where Sancho received it near the penalty spot. He calmly cut past a defender and curled a left-footed shot into the far corner! The ball arced beautifully and found the back of the net!

6-0!

Sancho scored his first international goal.

After scoring, Sancho excitedly rushed to the corner flag and slid on his knees in celebration. Yan Yuan and his teammates on the bench all stood up to applaud and cheer for him.

Rashford and substitute Barkley then scored two more goals, sealing the score at 8-0!

An unprecedented and overwhelming victory.

England fans went absolutely wild.

For years, the Three Lions haven't achieved such a thrilling and exhilarating scoreline.

When the final whistle blew, the England dressing room erupted in cheers.

In two matches, England scored a total of 14 goals and kept a clean sheet against their opponents.

As the MVP of both matches, Yan Yuan scored a total of 6 goals and provided 2 assists, personally contributing to 8 goals.

……

After the game, Henderson was the first to rush into the locker room.

Without saying a word, he turned the volume of the huge Bluetooth speaker he brought to the maximum.

The energetic electronic music bursts forth instantly.

It's that globally popular song, "One Kiss"!

Henderson had a little scheme up his sleeve and played the Liverpool anthem for everyone, and let me tell you, it was a really good song.

"Come on, lads! Let's go!" Henderson shouted, swaying his body to the rhythm.

"Yeah!!!" The young men and veterans in the locker room erupted in cheers.

The goal scorers joined in one after another.

Rashford wiggled his body, Sterling started doing funny dance moves, and even Kane, who is usually rather low-key, relaxed for once, swaying his body to the rhythm and joining in the dance.

"One kiss is all it takes!"

"Falling in love with me!"

"Possibilities!"

"I look like all you need!"

……

When a group of people sing together, the pitch may not be very accurate, but the atmosphere is definitely joyful.

Just then, Southgate pushed open the door and walked in.

The players fell silent for a moment, thinking their head coach was going to stop the celebration.

Unexpectedly, Southgate had a rare, extremely relaxed smile on his face. Instead of stopping him, he walked over to the stereo and started swaying gently to the rhythm!

He even hummed a few lines along.

"Boss! One more, one more!" The players cheered excitedly, making the coach dance.

The atmosphere instantly reached its peak!

"Yan! You do one too!!" Someone shouted first, and everyone responded instantly.

"Yan! Dance! Dance!"

"Captain, you dance one too!"

"Yeah, Kane, don't be shy, you should go up and do one too." Dale was also urging Kane on.

Yan Yuan, Southgate, and Kane were all pushed to the center by the guys.

"Everybody moves!" Yan Yuan shouted with a smile, then joined the song, leading the coach and captain in a dance.

The three of them wore bright smiles, without the slightest hint of awkwardness.

The music was powerful, and the rhythm in the guys' bodies seemed to be instantly activated.

Yan Yuan also danced quite well.

He first moved his shoulders in rhythm with the movement, then shifted his feet lightly, his movements fluid and full of power.

Then, he added arm movements, sometimes stretching out, sometimes swinging powerfully, each beat perfectly timed.

His popping moves are full of confidence and energy, combining the spontaneity of street dance with a unique, coordinated beauty characteristic of football players, with his body's vibrations perfectly in harmony with the rhythm of the music.

Yan Yuan had previously redeemed a popping mastery skill in the system, intending to use it to celebrate goals, but he always forgot to use this move to celebrate.

Today is the perfect time.

Yan Yuan's popping is beautiful and full of rhythm.

"Woooooo!!!" The teammates erupted in huge cheers and whistles.

Everyone surrounded the three men and started dancing to their rhythm!

Rice tried his best to imitate, his movements a little clumsy but full of enthusiasm; Sancho, on the other hand, jumped with great agility; even Stones and Maguire were infected by the atmosphere and jumped even more energetically.

Yan Yuan became the center of attention on the dance floor in the entire dressing room because of his outstanding dancing skills.

His smile was infectious, and his dance moves set the rhythm for the entire venue!

At this moment, there is no coach, no captain, and no core player.

There is only a group of football fans who celebrate victory and cheer for winning!

The sounds of music, cheers, and laughter mingled together, forming a powerful and cohesive force.

Southgate stood to the side.

Looking at this group of energetic and united disciples, and at number 7 shining brightly in the center of the dance floor, I felt very gratified.

This young Three Lions team is coming together in a way that has never been seen before.

That 18-year-old boy, wearing the number 7 jersey, didn't yet have the captain's armband on his arm.

But with his dominant performance on the field, his ability to unite the team off the field, and his charismatic leadership that is currently drawing the crowd, he has clearly outlined what the future England captain will look like.
