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

Chapter 259 Winning the Championship Ahead of Schedule

At the end of April, the penultimate round of the Premier League.

Arsenal host Wolves.

This is not an ordinary Premier League match, nor is it the Premier League described in Wang Wei's poem.

This is Arsenal's last home game of the season, a glorious moment just one step away from recreating their "unbeaten legend".

It could even be a crowning ceremony where he is crowned the Premier League champion!

Today, red and white flags have completely covered every corner of the stands.

The yellow and black of Wolves' away fans were almost nowhere to be seen here.

The massive sound of the Arsenal anthem had long surpassed the usual scope of cheering.

This is the battle drumbeat of tens of thousands of hearts beating together, the ultimate call for a perfect season.

Coach Zhan's voice came from the Chinese live broadcast room.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Premier League Round 36, Arsenal hosting Wolves in a highly anticipated match! I'm your commentator, Zhan Jun!"

"The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium right now can't be described as 'enthusiastic,' it's practically...boiling over! Because today is a day of extraordinary significance for Arsenal!"

This is Arsenal's last home game of the 18/19 season. If they don't lose to Wolves today, they will secure the Premier League title with two rounds to spare!

What's even more exciting is that they only have three games left to recreate the legendary "undefeated championship" myth of the 03/04 season!

Gunners fans have been waiting for this moment for far too long!

Zhan Jun paused for a moment, his professionalism allowing him to quickly detect the unusual activity in the stands.

Teacher Zhan began to demonstrate his ability to recognize people.

"As we can see from the footage, the Emirates Stadium stands are absolutely star-studded today!"

The first person on the left in the VIP section is Arsenal CEO Gazidis, who is here in person to watch the game today. He looks both expectant and nervous.

The second person present was Mr. Greg Clark, the chairman of the Football Association. It is not common for the chairman of the Football Association to attend a game in the past few seasons. Obviously, he is paying close attention to this game that could produce a champion.

What excited the Gunners fans the most was seeing that familiar figure in the stands: Thierry Henry! The King of Highbury was back! He even waved to the crowd!

The camera panned across the VIP section at opportune moments, capturing the expressions of these VIPs.

In the footage, Gazidis is talking quietly to the person next to him, while President Greg smiles as he surveys the electrifying stadium.

Henry appeared more relaxed, waving to fans who recognized him from time to time, while keeping his eyes focused on the players warming up on the field.

Coach Zhan continued.

"In addition, we noticed that a young woman wearing a red and white baseball jersey was sitting in the first row near the exit of the players' tunnel."

Out of respect for her privacy, I will not mention her name, but I believe that fans who follow Arsenal and Yan Yuan can guess who she is.

Today, she clearly took a day off specifically to come and witness this extremely important moment in her boyfriend's career, a potential championship win.

The person Zhan Jun was referring to was Lin Jianwei.

Today, Lin Jianwei also came to watch the game. She was wearing an Arsenal red and white baseball jersey with the number 7 written in big letters on it.

Her face wore a serene and expectant smile, her eyes fixed on the tall figure on the field wearing the number 7 jersey and the captain's armband on his left arm.

Her hands were slightly clasped together, revealing a hint of nervousness.

"Alright, the match is about to begin! Arsenal's starting lineup hasn't changed much today. Captain Yan Yuan leads the attack, with Aubameyang, Lacazette, and Odegaard forming the attacking line. Rodri and Ramsey anchor the midfield, and the defense remains Pepe, Monreal, Cancelo, and Hakimi, with Martin in goal! Wolves..." Zhan Jun quickly introduced the lineups of both teams, but his voice was soon drowned out by the sudden surge of cheers from the crowd.

The match kicked off with a deafening team anthem.

Wolves clearly didn't want to be the backdrop for the champions' coronation. They displayed strong aggression and discipline from the start, attempting to disrupt Arsenal's rhythm with aggressive pressing and quick counter-attacks.

However, the Arsenal players today have more than just a desire for victory in their eyes; they also have an unwavering belief in making history.

Everyone was fired up.

Under Yan Yuan's command, they played with composure and patience, firmly controlling the rhythm of the game.

In the 28th minute, Arsenal patiently passed the ball around on the left flank.

Lacazette drew the defense and passed the ball back to Ødegaard, who then delivered a sudden diagonal through ball that precisely penetrated the gap on Wolves' right flank.

Yan Yuan made a diagonal run and received the ball steadily on the left edge of the penalty area.

Facing the Wolves' center-back's direct defense, Yan Yuan gently flicked the ball to the right front with his left foot, shifting his body weight as if to cut inside!

The opponent's center of gravity was instantly shifted.

Just as the man's body tilted, Yan Yuan's right ankle snapped back at an incredible angle.

At the same time, the body rotates in perfect coordination.

The iconic phoenix tail spin is back at the Emirates Stadium.

The defender was cleanly and decisively left behind!

After dribbling past his opponent, Yan Yuan was left with only goalkeeper Patricio in front of him.

He didn't dribble the ball anymore, took a step to adjust, and then shot directly with his left foot.

boom!

The ball hurtled straight and violently toward the near corner of the goal.

Goal!

Wolves goalkeeper Patricio was helpless.

"Goal! Yan Yuan! Captain Yan Yuan! 1-0! Arsenal take the lead! Another signature dribble! Another signature powerful shot! Yan Yuan has opened the door to victory for Arsenal with his ultimate display of individual skill! The Emirates Stadium is absolutely in a frenzy!"

Zhan Jun's voice was full of passion.

"Listen to that sound! 'Captain Yan! Captain Yan!' The fans are cheering for their young captain! This goal brings Arsenal one step closer to the championship trophy!"

After scoring, Yan Yuan went to the stands where Lin Jianwei was sitting to celebrate.

His teammates swarmed over and surrounded him.

Lin Jianwei stood up excitedly in the stands and clapped loudly for Yan Yuan, her face beaming with pride and happiness.

"Yan Yuan!!!! Go for it!!!!" Lin Jianwei shouted as if she didn't care about her life.

In the second half, Wolves intensified their counter-attacks, putting considerable pressure on Arsenal's defense.

But Arsenal's defense was exceptionally solid under Rodri's command.

In the 65th minute, Arsenal successfully defended their own half, and Rodri intercepted the ball and quickly passed it to Yan Yuan, who had dropped back to receive it.

Yan Yuan received the ball with his back to goal near the center circle, facing a double-team from two Wolves players.

Instead of forcing a turn, he used his body to shield the ball and keenly observed Aubameyang's starting movement to his left.

Aubameyang is making a high-speed run down the left flank, while Wolves' right-back is desperately trying to track back.

The opportunity is fleeting.

Just before the double team was formed, Yan Yuan delivered an extremely concealed and precise diagonal pass with the outside of his left foot.

The ball skimmed along the grass, passing through the narrow gap between Wolves center-back Seth and the retreating midfielder, and rolled precisely in front of Aubameyang's sprinting path.

The timing, trajectory, and power of this pass were all incredibly skillful.

Aubameyang understood perfectly, and with his amazing explosiveness, he instantly shook off the defense and caught up with the ball on the left edge of the penalty area!

Only goalkeeper Patricio remained in his sights.

Aubameyang did not disappoint the captain's brilliant pass.

He dribbled into the penalty area and, facing the onrushing Patricio, calmly opted for a low, driven shot.

The ball skimmed along the grass at high speed, its angle unpredictable, heading straight for the far corner of the goal.

Patricio dived to make the save, but it was too late!

Goal! 2-0!

"Goal! Aubameyang! Yan Yuan's assist! A masterful pass! Yan Yuan's diagonal pass from the double team was like a god's-eye view! Aubameyang's positioning and shot were also impeccable! 2-0! Arsenal have basically secured the victory! The Premier League title trophy is already beckoning to the Emirates Stadium!" Zhan Jun's voice was also full of excitement.

After scoring, Aubameyang immediately pointed to Yan Yuan, who had provided the assist. The two exchanged a smile across half the field, their unspoken understanding unspoken.

Aubameyang then slid down to the corner flag in celebration and waved to the stands.

The teammates gathered around again to celebrate the goal that sealed the victory.

Although Wolves managed to pull one back from a corner kick late in the game, it was too late to turn the tide.

Saka, who came on as a substitute, scored another goal in the 76th minute.

The final score of 3-1 completely sealed the victory!

The moment the referee blew the final whistle.

boom!

The entire Emirates Stadium was like a giant powder keg that had been set ablaze!

The emotions that had been building up for an entire game, an entire season, and even 15 years...

It erupted violently at this moment!

Red and white confetti rained down from above the stands like a blizzard!

The deafening cheers, screams, and cries merged into a thunderous roar that soared into the sky.

Countless red and white fireworks were lit throughout the stands.

It burst forth with dazzling flames and thick smoke, illuminating the entire stadium as if it were daytime!

Arsenal fans have been waiting for this day since 2004, until 2019.

"Match over! 3-1! Arsenal beat Wolves at home! They did it!"

With two rounds remaining in the league, they have already secured the 2018/2019 English Premier League title!

Meanwhile, they remain undefeated in the league!

Only two more matches remain to recreate the legendary feat of an 'undefeated championship'!

Congratulations Arsenal! Congratulations to Professor Wenger! Congratulations to all the Gunners players and Arsenal fans worldwide!

Zhan Jun's voice trembled slightly with excitement, filled with emotion.

"This moment belongs to the Emirates Stadium! It belongs to everyone who loves Arsenal!"

In the stands, countless eyes were already blurred with tears.

An elderly fan with white hair tightly embraced a young fan he didn't know, and wept uncontrollably.

"My God, Melissa, do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment? We did it! We really did it!" An elderly Arsenal fan with white hair kissed a photo of his wife.

The middle-aged men waved their scarves, roared to the sky, and let their tears flow freely.

"See, son? This is the team Dad supports. You'll always support Arsenal from now on, okay?"

"Of course, Dad, my favorite player is Yan, he's at Arsenal, so of course I'll support Arsenal!" a child said to his father in a childish voice.

"Uh... okay... support me like this... as long as it's Arsenal." This father never expected that he would raise his son to be such a fan of Yan Yuan.

There were also many adorable little fans jumping and shouting the names of every player in the stands.

These are tears of joy, tears of release.

These are tears of dreams coming true.

After a 15-year wait, a fall from the peak, and a difficult climb back up amidst doubts, they have finally reached the top of the Premier League again at this moment!

The glory of invincibility is within reach.

On the sidelines, the refined and elegant manager, Arsène Wenger, could no longer contain his excitement.

He stood in front of the coach's bench, looking up at the red confetti flying everywhere, at the sea of ​​red and white in the stands in a frenzy, and at his players embracing and celebrating on the field...

Tears silently streamed down his wrinkled face.

He quietly lowered his head and quickly and forcefully wiped away the moisture from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

"Sir, we've won! We...we've really won!" Assistant coach Boulder said to Wenger.

"Yes, Boulder, we won... It's so good, so good!" Wenger's eyes were still red.

At this moment, all the hardships, all the perseverance, and all the criticism have transformed into unparalleled joy and pride.

The dynasty he built with his own hands, the team he poured his life's blood into, has finally lifted the Premier League trophy again.

Moreover, in a more amazing, youthful, and vibrant way!

Just then, Yan Yuan saw the professor silently wiping away tears on the sidelines.

His heart warmed, and he immediately called to his teammates:

"Brothers! Get the professor up here!"

Aubameyang, Saka, Odegaard, Rodri...

All the players looked toward the coaching bench. They surrounded him, laughing and joking, and "lifted" the still somewhat bewildered Professor Wenger up, half-pushing and half-carrying him to the center of the field.

"Professor! Professor! Professor!" the players chanted in unison!

The cheers from the fans reached another climax!

Wenger stood in the center of the pitch, surrounded by his players. Looking at their young and energetic faces, and seeing the excitement and respect shining in their eyes, tears welled up in his eyes again.

But this time, a radiant and gratified smile spread across his face.

He opened his arms and gave each player around him a big hug.

Meanwhile, under the spotlight of the world.

The staff who arrived early solemnly escorted the Premier League trophy, symbolizing the highest honor in English football, and the gleaming champion medals into the center of the Emirates Stadium!

Gazidis, Chairman Greg, and Henry also walked onto the field together.

Gazidis was the first to approach Wenger, and the two shook hands and embraced tightly.

"Arsena, congratulations, you did it! You guys have been amazing this season!" Gazidis's voice was full of excitement.

He then walked over to each player and coaching staff member, shaking hands with each of them to congratulate them.

When he reached Yan Yuan, he opened his arms and gave the young captain a very tight hug.

"Yan! My captain, your season has been absolutely phenomenal! You are Arsenal's present and future! Thank you for everything you've done for the team!"

Gazidis's tone was full of sincerity, and this time it could be confirmed.

Arsenal will absolutely never sell their captain again.

I would never sell it again, not even if you killed me.

The 19-year-old captain in front of them, who led the team to the championship in his first season after joining, is an absolutely priceless player.

This season, Arsenal's goals are still missing a Champions League title and an FA Cup title.

Yan Yuan's first national team championship is about to be won.

Gazidis is already planning to give Yan Yuan a new contract.

Next up is Henry.

King Highbury's face beamed with a proud smile.

He personally picked up each championship medal and pinned the gold medal, a symbol of glory, on every Arsenal player and coaching staff member.

He walked up to each player, patted them on the shoulder, and congratulated them.

When he placed the medal on Wenger's head, the two embraced warmly.

"Professor, you've found a good student. He's really good, outstanding."

"Henry, as Yan's senior, you are equally outstanding. Alright, now go and present the medal to your junior."

Finally, Henry walked up to Yan Yuan.

"Congratulations, Captain." Henry smiled, his eyes full of admiration. He personally pinned the championship medal on Yan Yuan's head and then patted Yan Yuan's shoulder forcefully.

"Well done, kid! You remind me of myself when I was young, but you're more well-rounded and have more leadership qualities! This season has been incredible! 45 league goals already? With just two more rounds, you're about to break the Premier League goal record. Keep it up and lead this team to create history!"

Faced with his idol's praise, Yan Yuan showed no stage fright and replied with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Henry. It's an honor to play for Arsenal and win titles alongside you. I will continue to work hard with my guys. Everyone here deserves the best."

Finally, FA Chairman Greg personally handed the heavy, radiant Premier League title trophy to captain Yan Yuan.

"Congratulations, Captain Yan, and congratulations to Arsenal as well." Chairman Greg said with a broad smile.

"This has been an incredible season, and your performance deserves all the praise. This trophy is the best reward for your tireless efforts and outstanding performance throughout the season."

Greg paused, leaned forward slightly, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"However, Yan, the season isn't completely over yet, right? There's still the Champions League, and then the UEFA Nations League final... I'm really looking forward to it, looking forward to you creating an even greater legend. You know, England hasn't won a title in a long time."

Greg is eager to see the Three Lions win the UEFA Nations League title this season.

Yan Yuan steadily accepted the trophy, feeling its weight, and responded in a low voice.

"Thank you, Mr. President. We will focus on every game from now on. Whether it's the Champions League or the Nations League, I have inherited the number 7 jersey for the Three Lions, and I will shoulder the responsibility for the Three Lions."

Yan Yuan expressed his gratitude and also demonstrated his ambition.

Finally, the most exciting moment has arrived.

Yan Yuan raised the Premier League championship trophy high with both hands!

The moment he raised his hand, golden confetti once again cascaded down from above the stands like a waterfall!

Dazzling fireworks soared into the sky around the stadium!

The rousing Premier League theme song resounded through the sky!

The chant of "We are the champions" resounded throughout every corner of the Emirates Stadium!

Yan Yuan passed the trophy to his teammates: Aubameyang, Saka, Odegaard, Rodri, Xhaka, Ramsey, Martin...

Each player took turns raising the coveted trophy high!

They cheered! They jumped! They hugged! They sprayed champagne!

Professor Wenger was surrounded by the players, his face beaming with happiness, and he was also drenched in champagne!

After the awards ceremony, guided by security personnel, the fans in the stands began to flow into the stadium in an orderly and excited manner.

This is their moment!

Fans should celebrate this unparalleled glory with their heroes!

The stadium instantly transformed into a sea of ​​joy.

Fans chased after each player, taking photos and getting autographs.

As the captain and the absolute core player, Yan Yuan naturally became the focus of attention.

An elderly woman with white hair and a cane, supported by her family, walked shakily to Yan Yuan, her eyes filled with tears of emotion.

"Child... Captain... Can I take a picture with you? I... I've been supporting Arsenal since I was 10 years old... I've waited almost 80 years... Finally... Finally, I've seen us win the championship again..." Her voice choked with emotion.

Yan Yuan immediately squatted down and carefully helped the old lady, with a smile of utmost respect on his face.

"Of course, Madam, it would be our honor!"

He asked the old lady's family to help him up, and then took a precious photo with this die-hard fan who had witnessed nearly a century of the club's ups and downs.

The flash went off, capturing this timeless legacy and passion.

Then, a group of young fans wearing Arsenal number 7 jerseys excitedly surrounded Yan Yuan.

"Yan!! We want to take a group photo too!!"

"Captain! Captain! Take a picture with us!" they shouted excitedly.

"Hahahaha, I have it all, I have it all, don't rush... come on, I'll squat down."

Yan Yuan squatted down with a smile, opened his arms, and embraced several young fans at the same time, showing a bright smile to the camera.

At this moment, he was not only a hero on the field, but also the most approachable idol in the eyes of the children.

Surrounded by the crowd, Yan Yuan's eyes searched.

Finally, he saw that familiar figure.

Lin Jianwei was standing not far away, smiling at him, holding an exquisite box in her hand.

Yan Yuan squeezed through the crowd and walked up to her. Sweat soaked his hair and jersey, but his eyes shone with an astonishing light.

"Mr. Champion," Lin Jian said with a smile, handing him the box, a mischievous glint in her eyes, "Hehe, have you been waiting long?"

Yan Yuan took the box, opened it, and found two stylish pairs of sunglasses inside.

This is what he told Lin Jianwei before the match.

He plans to take a photo with Lin Jianwei after the competition, the two of them wearing sunglasses and holding the trophy.

Yan Yuan took out one pair and put it on, then picked up the other pair and handed it to Lin Jianwei, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"We've been waiting for you, my championship partner!"

Lin Jianwei also smiled and put on sunglasses.

The two exchanged a smile and walked in unison to either side of the gleaming Premier League title trophy.

Yan Yuan and Lin Jianwei both looked very cool today.

Yan Yuan was wearing an Arsenal jersey and sunglasses, and his hairstyle was very handsome. Lin Jianwei was wearing a red and white baseball jacket and jeans, and her long hair was tied up.

The two stood on either side of the trophy, legs straddling, hands casually crossed over their chests, chins slightly raised, striking a particularly cool pose!

Click!Click!

Reporters and fans around them frantically pressed their shutters, capturing this unique and sweet moment.

The young champion captain and his beautiful girlfriend, wearing cool sunglasses, stood beside the trophy symbolizing the highest honor, confidently and proudly proclaiming their victory and happiness!

Sunlight shone on them, the trophies gleamed, and the smiles behind their sunglasses were a testament to their youthful exuberance and glory.

On this day, the Emirates Stadium became a sea of ​​joyful red.

On this day, Arsenal reclaimed the top spot in the Premier League.

On this day, 19-year-old captain Yan Yuan lifted the second top-flight league title trophy of his career, which was also his first Premier League title.

This day is an incredibly beautiful and unforgettable one for Arsenal fans around the world.
