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

Inside the locker room at Wembley Stadium.

Arsenal players, drenched in sweat, surrounded manager Julian Nagelsmann.

A 2-1 lead in the first half was not secure, and Manchester City's relentless attack in the final stages served as a warning.

Nagelsmann's tactics board was covered with arrows and circles, and he spoke quickly but clearly.

"Listen, guys! We did well in the first half, but it wasn't nearly enough!" Nagelsmann's sharp gaze swept across every face.

"Manchester City won't give up. They pulled one back in the first half, and they'll pounce like beasts in the second half! We need to be prepared!"

He emphasized the defensive area as he spoke.

"Rodri, Rice! You two must protect the edge of the penalty area! We can't give De Bruyne and Saul such comfortable long-range shooting space anymore! Pepe, Saliba, pay attention to supporting the defense, especially against Aguero's runs! Theo, Achraf, you need to be more cautious with your attacking runs, make sure you're in position defensively first!"

Then, he looked towards the frontcourt.

"Yan! You are key! We need you to drop deeper to receive the ball, help the midfield play, and relieve pressure. Your speed and decision-making are our lifeline on the counter-attack! Aubameyang, keep pressing Stones and Laporte! Lacazette, you've been working hard, be ready to be rotated at any time."

Yan Yuan listened attentively while wiping his sweat with a towel, nodding occasionally in response to Na Shuai.

Meanwhile, as the team captain, he added.

"Guys, keep communicating in the second half! Shout when defending! Especially from set pieces, stay focused! We're a team, hold on for these 45 minutes and bring the trophy back to Arsenal!"

At the start of the second half, it was clear that Guardiola had given the team a much-needed boost during halftime.

They intensified their pressing in the attacking third, pushing their formation further up the pitch in an attempt to pin Arsenal back in their own half.

De Bruyne and Saul's passing in midfield became faster and more direct, while Foden's breakthroughs on the left wing were more decisive.

For a time, Arsenal's penalty area was in a state of panic.

In the 48th minute, De Bruyne delivered a precise through ball to Aguero, who had made a run into the penalty area. The Argentine striker skillfully turned and fired a low shot, but the ball grazed the far post and went out of play.

This gave Arsenal fans a real scare.

In the 53rd minute, Manchester City won a free kick on the left side of the attacking third.

De Bruyne passed the ball into the penalty area, where center-back Stones outjumped Saliba to head the ball powerfully towards the goal.

At a crucial moment, goalkeeper Martinez once again displayed his superb skills, making a diving save to push the ball out of bounds.

Corner kick!

Manchester City took a corner kick, resulting in a scramble in the penalty area. Amid the chaos, the ball fell to the edge of the box, where Saul met it with a powerful volley.

The ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball.

Just as the ball was about to dart into the net, a red figure shot out like lightning, blocking it with his body.

Rice made a crucial goal-line clearance for Arsenal!

"Rice made a crucial block! He's a player handpicked by Professor Wenger, and his performance this season has been phenomenal! He's made significant contributions in both games!!" the commentator exclaimed.

This defensive play greatly boosted Arsenal's morale.

After withstanding Manchester City's relentless attack for nearly ten minutes at the start of the game, Arsenal began looking for counter-attacking opportunities.

In the 58th minute, Manchester City controlled the ball in their own half, attempting to patiently build an attack.

Saul passed the ball to De Bruyne, who had dropped back to receive it. The Belgian midfielder observed the forward runs and prepared to deliver a decisive pass.

However, in the instant he adjusted his pace...

A figure approached silently from the side and rear like a cheetah.

Rodri has arrived.

Rodri spotted the tiny opening just before De Bruyne touched the ball and executed a precise and fierce sliding tackle.

His foot touched the ball first, cleanly and decisively stealing it from De Bruyne's feet.

"Rodri, a brilliant tackle! He dispossessed De Bruyne! Arsenal have another counter-attacking opportunity. Arsenal have such a reassuring midfield duo; I think Premier League teams should be very envious!" The commentator's voice suddenly rose.

After intercepting the ball, Rodri did not hesitate for a moment. He quickly got up, looked up and saw that Yan Yuan had already started moving forward at high speed from near the midfield line.

Rodri delivered a low through ball, which accurately found Yan Yuan's path forward.

Yan Yuan easily controlled the ball while running and turned to face the direction of the attack.

At this moment, he was facing Manchester City's midfield defense.

The first to intercept them was B. Seidon.

Facing his defense, Yan Yuan did not slow down at all. With a light, quick move, he pushed with his left foot and tapped with his right, instantly gliding past Rodrigo.

After getting past the first player, Yan Yuan continued to advance with the ball, with Gundogan coming to cover ahead.

Gindoan, with his extensive experience, attempted to block Yan Yuan's inside cutting route.

However, Yan Yuan once again demonstrated his unparalleled ball control and rhythm changes. He first pretended to break through to the wing, causing Gundogan to shift his center of gravity, and then used the outside of his right foot to flick the ball sharply towards the inside, while his body quickly changed direction.

He beat Gündoğan in one go!

"Yan Yuan dribbled past several players in a row! He beat Bernardo Silva! Then he beat Gundogan! He's starting to charge! We all know that when Arsenal's number 7 starts charging, no matter who the opponent is, there's no way to stop him!"

At this moment, Yan Yuan had already dribbled the ball to an area about 25 meters from the goal.

Manchester City's last center-back, Laporte, had to step up to block the shot.

Yan Yuan did not choose to continue his breakthrough. He observed the gap left behind when Laporte pressed forward, as well as the slightly advanced positioning of goalkeeper Ederson.

In a flash, Yan Yuan adjusted his footing and, before the ball had come to a complete stop, swung his right foot while running, striking the lower middle part of the ball solidly with the instep.

boom!

A muffled thud.

The ball, like a cannonball, barely spun after leaving the ground, hurtling straight and deadly towards the top right corner of the goal.

The ball is moving at an astonishing speed!

Ederson made a desperate dive to the side, but Yan Yuan's shot was too tricky in angle and full of power.

His fingertips barely touched the ball, but he couldn't change the outcome of it going into the net.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Yan Yuan! World-class goal! One-shot kill!" The commentator's roar echoed through the sky.

"From Rodri's interception to Yan Yuan's powerful shot after a series of dribbles, it was a perfect display of individual skill! 3-1! Arsenal have almost secured the victory! Brilliant goal! I can't imagine what Manchester City can do to contain Arsenal's number 7!"

The ball crashed heavily into the net.

The entire Arsenal fan base at Wembley Stadium erupted in cheers.

After scoring, Yan Yuan excitedly ran to the corner flag, opened his arms, and accepted the worship of the entire stadium!

Rhodes was the first to rush up and jump on his back to celebrate, and the other teammates followed suit, surrounding him.

With a three-goal lead, Nagelsmann made a decisive adjustment. In the 65th minute, he substituted Saka for the exhausted Lacazette.

This personnel change had an immediate effect.

In the 72nd minute, Arsenal launched another quick counter-attack. Yan Yuan received the ball in midfield, attracting the attention of several defenders. Instead of trying to score himself, he passed the ball to Rice, who had made a run forward.

Rice quickly passed the ball to Saka on the left wing.

After receiving the ball, Saka used his excellent dribbling and speed to dribble all the way to the left edge of the penalty area.

Facing the defense of Manchester City's right-back Wan-Bissaka.

Instead of forcing his way through, Saka spotted Aubameyang making a run into the box and delivered a low cross!

The ball quickly crossed the six-yard box.

Aubameyang arrived in time and easily tapped the ball into the empty net!

"Goooooooooal! Aubameyang! Saka's assist! 4-1! The game is over, Arsenal are almost guaranteed to win the Community Shield!" the commentator exclaimed. "Arsenal's attack was fluid and seamless. Yan Yuan's pass, Rice's pass, and finally Saka's breakthrough and cross, Aubameyang's decisive strike! What perfect teamwork! Nagelsmann's strategy was so clear!"

After scoring, Aubameyang smiled and pointed to Saka, who had provided the assist, while Saka beamed with pride.

Yan Yuan also ran over and ruffled Saka's hair to encourage him.

This Arsenal team has such a perfect blend of veterans, middle-aged players, and young talents that it is full of vitality and hope.

The outcome of the subsequent matches was already decided.

Manchester City's morale was clearly dampened, and their attack appeared somewhat disorganized.

Arsenal maintained control of the game's tempo and held on to their victory until the final whistle.

"Beep—! Beep—! Beep—!!!"

When the referee blows the final whistle.

Wembley Stadium became a sea of ​​red with Arsenal fans in high spirits!

"Match over! Arsenal defeat Manchester City 4-1! They are the 2019 Community Shield champions!" the commentator solemnly announced.

"Arsenal's new manager, Nagelsmann, achieved a brilliant victory in his first official Premier League match as manager! Yan Yuan delivered another dominant performance, proving once again that he is the undisputed leader of this team! Congratulations Arsenal! Congratulations Nagelsmann!"

The moment the whistle blew, Arsenal's substitutes and staff rushed onto the field.

Hug, jump, shout!

As the team leader, Yan Yuan gave high-fives and hugs to every teammate and staff member.

He specifically sought out Saliba and Rice to encourage them.

Finally, he and Nagelsmann embraced tightly, their faces filled with joy and anticipation for the future.

During the awards ceremony, when Yan Yuan, as captain, received the Community Shield champion medal from the FA chairman, he bent down and let the presenter put the medal around his neck.

Then, amidst cheers and countdowns from the crowd, he and Nagelsmann raised the gleaming silver shield high above their heads.

After the awards ceremony, Yan Yuan did not forget his promise.

His eyes searched the stands, and soon he spotted Doman, who was wearing a caddie uniform and whose face was flushed with excitement.

"Here I am, Doman!" Yan Yuan shouted, waving to Doman.

"Here you are, Captain!!" Doman was very excited, her little face flushed, and she quickly ran over.

Then, under the watchful eyes of cameras worldwide.

Yan Yuan took off his No. 7 battle uniform and handed it to Daoman.

Doman received the jersey with trembling hands and hugged it tightly to his chest.

"Thank you, captain, thank you so much. I will definitely cherish this jersey."

"Keep it up, Doman," Yan Yuan said to Doman with a smile.

For Doman, who dreamed of becoming a star player since childhood...

The feeling at this moment was no less than when he won the youth training MVP award.

This heartwarming gesture was captured on camera and spread around the world, adding a special touch of warmth to this victory.

Nagelsmann stood on the sidelines, watching his players celebrate, a satisfied smile on his face.

The victory in the Community Shield is a great start to the new season.

But this was just the beginning; the Premier League title, the Champions League title defense…

More challenges lie ahead.

However, with a leader like Yan Yuan and a team full of talent and cohesion, Nash is full of confidence for the future.

Arsenal's giant ship has set sail for the new season.
