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

The season of the top five European leagues has now concluded.

Clubs across Europe are on holiday.

However, players with national team duties will have to stay busy for a while longer.

Tonight, the Estádio do Dragão in Porto, Portugal, will be the venue for the UEFA Nations League final.

In the stands, the deep red waves of Portuguese and the pure white waves of English stood out clearly, pressing against each other.

Shouts, songs, drumbeats—every sound was filled with a desperate, all-or-nothing desire.

For the Portuguese, this is a battle to defend their honor on home soil, and an expectation for their hero Cristiano Ronaldo to be crowned once again.

For the English, this is almost the deepest obsession they have held for more than half a century.

Historically, since that legendary summer of 1966, the international championship trophy has never truly "returned home."

But tonight, everything seems different.

The huge "It's Coming Home" banner in the stands, and the countless times that echoed through the night sky.

The shouts of "YAN! KANE!"

They all placed their hopes on an unprecedented, almost superstitious kind of faith.

All of this is because of that boy wearing the number 7 jersey.

In the semifinals two days ago.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick, leading England to a 3-1 victory over Switzerland. The following day, in the match between England and the Netherlands, Yan Yuan scored twice, and England ultimately defeated the Netherlands 4-2.

Yan Yuan has given Arsenal fans and England fans a lot of hope this season.

Portugal has their number 7.

England also has their number 7.

During the pre-match warm-up, the camera focused on Yan Yuan and Cristiano Ronaldo for an extended period of time.

On one side is the new king, young and invincible.

On one side is a legend who, though still sharp, yearns to bring further glory to his motherland.

Their eyes occasionally met, and beneath the calm surface lay a fierce fighting spirit that only top athletes could understand.

When the national anthem was played, Yan Yuan stood in the English contingent, his hand on his left chest, looking at the St. George's Cross flag fluttering in front of him, and sang loudly.

Not far away, Cristiano Ronaldo, as always, kept his eyes closed and his brows slightly furrowed, as if he wanted to absorb the power of the entire nation into his lungs.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Estádio do Dragão! The final of the 2019 UEFA Nations League is about to kick off here! The two teams facing off are Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, and England, led by Harry Kane and Yan Yuan!" The commentator's voice was transmitted to every corner of the world through the broadcast signal.

"This is another direct confrontation between the old and new eras! Can England break their 53-year title drought? Can Portugal defend their glory on home soil? The suspense is about to be revealed!"

With a whistle from the referee, the final match officially began.

As expected, the game turned into a fierce midfield battle from the very beginning.

Portugal, relying on their technical advantage, patiently passed the ball around in midfield through Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes, attempting to control the tempo.

England played more directly, utilizing Kane's dropping back to receive passes and Rashford and Yan Yuan's speed on the wings to look for counter-attack opportunities.

In the 7th minute, there was a slight hesitation in the Portuguese backfield passing, and Carvalho's back pass to Ruben Diaz was a little too weak.

Rashford, as agile as a cheetah, instantly sped up and pressed forward at high speed.

Diaz didn't dare to be careless and launched a long ball forward to the left flank, attempting to clear the danger.

The ball flew towards the midfield sideline, seemingly a trivial clearance.

However, a white figure chased after the ball's second landing point like lightning.

Yan Yuan judged the landing point, started ahead of time, and controlled the ball with his chest before Portuguese left-back Guerrero could react.

Guerrero immediately closed in, not giving him a chance to turn around.

Yan Yuan turned his back to the direction of the attack, using his body to shield the ball, seemingly about to pass it back or wait for support.

But just as Guerrero shifted his weight slightly forward, Yan Yuan made a move that caused the entire audience to gasp in surprise.

He gently pulled the ball backward with the sole of his right foot, while simultaneously pivoting his body on his left foot.

It completed a 180-degree turn with minimal range but extremely swiftness.

Like an elegant dancer, she instantly went from having her back to the goal to facing the defense.

"Yan Yuan turns around! A beautiful escape!" the commentator exclaimed.

The moment he turned around, Yan Yuan didn't even look up to check the goalkeeper's position, nor did he make any adjustments.

His gaze was fixed on the goal, his supporting foot firmly planted on the grass. 28 meters from the goal, he swung his right foot and struck the ball hard in the lower middle part with the instep!

"He's about to shoot?! Yan only glanced at it!" the commentator exclaimed in shock.

After leaving the ground, the ball did not spin, but with a sharp whistling sound as it tore through the air, it headed straight for the top right corner of the goal at a breathtaking speed!

The ball was incredibly fast.

Portuguese goalkeeper Patricio made a diving save, stretching his body to its limit and extending his arms to the maximum.

But his fingertips couldn't even feel the airflow from the ball as it passed by!

"Whoosh—!"

A crisp, yet deadly sound.

The ball slammed into the top of the net.

The netting trembled violently.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!" The commentator's roar instantly ignited the passion of all England fans.

"Yan Yuan! A world-class goal! A stunning long-range shot! Just 7 minutes into the game! England leads Portugal 1-0! An unbelievable goal! On the stage of the final, he gave England a dream start with an audacious, super long-range shot! This is a superstar! This is a big-game player! This is a national treasure of English football!!!"

After scoring, Yan Yuan ran wildly to celebrate, spreading his arms wide and spinning his right arm, which further fueled the atmosphere at the stadium.

This is the significance of top-tier marksmen.

Both the team and the fans need players with such decisive significance.

The next second, he was grabbed and pinned down by his teammates Kane, Rashford, and Arnold who rushed over!

The England coaching bench erupted in cheers.

The white sea of ​​people in the stands went into complete frenzy.

The shouts of "YAN! YAN! YAN!" were like thunder!

After conceding a goal, Portugal seemed to wake up from a dream and launched an even fiercer counterattack.

Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes became sharper as he constantly dropped back, called for the ball, and attempted to break through.

England's defense was under immense pressure.

The central defensive pairing of Maguire and Stones performed exceptionally well.

In the 35th minute, Yan Yuan delivered a brilliant through ball from midfield, piercing through Portugal's entire defense like a scalpel.

Kane understood perfectly, successfully breaking the offside trap and creating a one-on-one opportunity.

He calmly slotted the ball past Patricio who was rushing out!

"Kane!!!!" England fans were almost ready to celebrate the second goal.

At the critical moment, a red figure caught up and arrived like lightning.

Ruben Diaz used his incredible speed to make a precise sliding tackle the instant Kane took the shot, blocking it out of bounds with his body!

"Diaz! World-class defensive coverage! He saved Portugal!" the Portuguese commentator exclaimed.

Kane bit his jersey collar, looking towards the net with deep regret.

In the 43rd minute, Portugal responded in kind. Bruno Fernandes received a pass back from Cristiano Ronaldo on the edge of the penalty area, created space, and curled a left-footed shot into the far corner.

The ball arced towards the corner of the net.

"B. Fernandes! England is in danger!" the English cried out.

England goalkeeper Pickford made no attempt to react.

But Maguire stood firm like a towering figure, stretching out his long legs and barely managing to deflect the ball out of bounds with his toes.

Maguire's crucial block kept the goal intact.

England fans were terrified.

At halftime, England led Portugal 1-0 thanks to Yan Yuan's spectacular goal.

In the locker room, Southgate emphasized defensive focus and counter-attacking efficiency, while Santos also encouraged his players, urging them to attack more decisively.

In the second half, Portugal launched an even more intense attack, almost forming a siege.

England retreated entirely to defend, looking for counter-attack opportunities.

In the 55th minute, Portugal's sustained pressure finally paid off. Bruno Fernandes combined brilliantly with Cancelo on the right wing before delivering a low cross!

The ball was moving extremely fast, passing through the penalty area.

Ronaldo, following up at the far post, effortlessly evaded Arnold's marking and unleashed a powerful shot.

"Cristiano Ronaldo! Goal!!!!" the Portuguese commentator shouted wildly.

"1-1! Cristiano Ronaldo! Our leader who never gives up! He's equalized for Portugal! The game is back in motion! The pressure on England is on!!"

After scoring, Cristiano Ronaldo rushed to the corner flag and made his signature celebration, instantly engulfing the Estádio do Dragão in a sea of ​​red cheers.

"siuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"

England fans fell into a brief silence.

After the draw, the match turned into a fierce back-and-forth battle.

Both sides created several chances, but neither was able to change the score.

Time ticked by, and the tense atmosphere was almost suffocating.

In the 78th minute, Portuguese midfielder William Carvalho attempted to pass the ball to Bernardo Silva on the wing, but Yan Yuan astutely anticipated his pass.

Yan Yuan suddenly pounced like a cheetah, and near the midfield line, he used a clean and swift sliding tackle to steal the ball.

After intercepting the ball, Yan Yuan did not hesitate at all, immediately got up, and dribbled forward.

Using the change in rhythm, he first deftly dribbled past Bruno Fernandes who was rushing to pounce, and then, facing Pereira who was covering, he accelerated and changed direction, slipping past the two defenders and getting around them.

"Yan Yuan intercepts the ball and breaks through! He dribbles past the defender and is through!" The English commentator's voice suddenly rose.

After shaking off the two opponents, Yan Yuan found himself in a clearing! He looked up and saw his teammates making a high-speed run down the middle lane.

Declan Rice is here.

Yan Yuan delivered a through ball with just the right power and angle using the instep of his right foot.

The ball skimmed along the grass, as if guided by a navigator, precisely bypassing Diaz who was chasing back, and rolled towards Rice's forward run.

"That was a beautiful through ball. Yan Yuan's timing and Rice's choice to make a forward run were both very clever. Rice made Yan Yuan's breakthrough meaningful!" the commentator exclaimed.

Rice understood immediately and strode after the ball.

He dribbled into the penalty area and found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

Rice remained unusually calm in the face of Patricio's attack and fired a low shot into the far corner with his right foot!

"Rice shoots!!!" the commentator roared.

The ball went under Patricio's arm and rolled into the net.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!! England! 2-1! Declan Rice scores! An assist from Yan Yuan! A perfect counter-attack! From the tackle to the breakthrough to the assist, Yan Yuan has destroyed Portugal's midfield defense! He is England's engine, and even more so, England's sharpest weapon!"

Rice excitedly slid to his knees in celebration, and Yan Yuan rushed over laughing, giving him a tight hug.

Gareth Southgate excitedly pumped his fist on the sidelines.

In the 85th minute, Rashford broke through on the left and crossed the ball. Kane, near the penalty spot, outjumped Pepe and headed the ball powerfully into the goal.

"Kane! Header! Goal!!! 3-1! Harry Kane! England have killed the game just before it was over!" The England commentator could finally muster some energy.

Portugal's morale suffered a fatal blow.

Although Ruben Diaz pushed forward and unleashed a long-range shot in the final moments, which was brilliantly saved by Pickford, it was too late to turn the tide.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!!!"

Three long whistles sounded, and the game ended.

"Full time!" The English commentator's voice was hoarse with excitement. "England! 3-1 Portugal! They are the 2019 UEFA Nations League champions! They have broken their 53-year title drought! Football has finally come home! Tonight belongs to Harry Kane, to Declan Rice, and even more so to Yan Yuan! One goal and one assist, dominating the game! He is also the top scorer in this UEFA Nations League, the attacking core of the England team, and the biggest contributor to England's victory!"

This English commentator is clearly a fan of Yan Yuan.

The moment the final whistle blew, the England substitutes and staff surged onto the field like a tidal wave.

Yan Yuan was surrounded by his teammates. He pounded the Three Lions Army emblem on his chest and roared to the sky!

In the stands, the white sea of ​​people went into complete frenzy.

The song "It's Coming Home" resounded through the sky, and countless fans wept with joy!

On the awards stage, Yan Yuan received the weighty gold medal from the UEFA president.

Subsequently, he became one of the team's core players.

Yan Yuan and captain Kane raised the championship trophy, symbolizing the highest honor in the UEFA Nations League, high together.

Golden ribbons rained down from the sky, enveloping each champion member.

Yan Yuan held the trophy, his face beaming with a bright and pure smile.

This is his first national team title in his professional career, which is of great significance.

He and his teammates, including Kane, Rashford, and Pickford, took turns holding the trophy, sharing their joy with family and friends in the stands.

Kane must be the happiest person tonight.

Because he finally has a championship he can be proud of.

Kane, being quite temperamental, posed for several photos with the UEFA Nations League trophy.

His photo with the UEFA Nations League trophy garnered many likes and shares on the internet.

Cristiano Ronaldo and the Portuguese players walked past dejectedly. Yan Yuan stopped celebrating, took the initiative to walk up to Ronaldo, shake hands and hug him, expressing his respect for the legend.

Cristiano Ronaldo patted him on the back, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

There is a sense of loss, but perhaps also a sense of recognition for the younger generation.

The night sky above the Estádio do Dragão was illuminated by white and gold ribbons of England.

Yan Yuan stood in the center of the celebrating crowd, chatting and laughing with his teammates.

At this moment, he not only helped the club achieve the immortal feat of winning four championships, but also led the national team to end a wait of more than half a century.

At the age of 19, he is the core player of both his club and national team, and the crown of the new king of Europe is already clearly placed on his head.
