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

In August, summer is in full swing in England, and the drums of the new Premier League season have already sounded.

After the exciting Community Shield match, the entire Arsenal team quickly turned their attention to the league.

Their start was perfect:

In the first round, they will play Burnley away from home.

At Turf Moor, Arsenal displayed the composure and control of a championship team.

Although Burnley caused Arsenal a lot of trouble with their traditional English long balls and tenacious defense, the difference in quality remained clear.

Yan Yuan did not pursue a personal statistical explosion during the game, but instead played more of a role as the core of the organization, using precise passes to orchestrate the team's offense.

Ultimately, thanks to Cancelo's clever second-half goal, Rodri's accurate long-range shot, Yan Yuan's two goals and one assist, and Odegaard's penalty, Arsenal secured a 5-1 away victory and three points.

In the second round, they will host Everton.

Back at the Emirates Stadium, amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of home fans, Arsenal played with even more composure and confidence.

Rice was active in the game, and his combination with Yan Yuan in midfield was getting better and better.

In the second half, Yan Yuan received the ball from Rice on the right wing. Facing two defenders, he easily got rid of them with his signature "Phoenix Tail Spin" and then delivered a low cross, accurately finding Saka who was making a run at the far post. Saka easily pushed the ball into the empty net.

This goal successfully changed the score to 3-0, and the lead remained until the end.

Two good scores: 5-1 and 3-0.

Arsenal demonstrated strong control, a solid defense, and the ability to seize opportunities in crucial moments.

The media and fans have witnessed the team's maturity and progress under Nagelsmann's guidance.

Winning four titles did not make Arsenal complacent.

The team's form continues to improve steadily, preparing for the upcoming Champions League campaign.

……

During a break in the league season, the focus of European football shifted to the Grimaldi Conference Center in Monaco.

The draw for the group stage of the 2019-2020 UEFA Champions League is about to take place here.

Fans around the world held their breath.

Watching each ball being drawn determines the fate of the top teams.

When the draw guest announced "Arsenal Football Club" and placed it in the first seeding group.

Yan Yuan and his teammates were also watching the live broadcast together in the conference room of the training base.

Then, when the guest took a small ball from the second glass tank, unfolded the paper, and clearly read out "Borussia Dortmund Football Club".

The meeting room fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a murmur of surprise and laughter.

"My God, Dortmund!" Xhaka was the first to shout.

"Tsk tsk, this is interesting. I can play against my old club again..." Aubameyang stroked his chin. He was a former player from Borussia Dortmund.

A meaningful smile appeared on Yan Yuan's lips.

It's truly a wonderful coincidence.

Just a week ago, he sent his best wishes to his junior teammate Bellingham, who was making his Bundesliga debut, on social media.

I didn't expect UEFA to arrange a "face-to-face meeting between senior and junior players" so quickly.

Is this some kind of joke played by God?

Or is UEFA deliberately creating a stir to generate buzz?

Regardless, this result undoubtedly makes the qualification situation in this group very interesting.

The moment the lottery results were announced, the media erupted in uproar.

The Times headline read: "Youth Clash! Yan Yuan Grouped with Dortmund's Haaland and Bellingham in Champions League!"

The article reads:

"This is probably the most youthful and entertaining match in this season's Champions League group stage."

Defending champions Arsenal boast Yan Yuan, arguably the world's top football talent; while Borussia Dortmund possesses Erling Haaland, the Norwegian striker who ignited the football world this summer, and Jules Bellingham, the English superstar.

This is not just a match between two teams, but also a direct confrontation between the new generation of young players born in the 00s!

Bild, on the other hand, expressed its excitement.

"A battle between Gen Z! Westfalen's youth storm will sweep through the Emirates Stadium, giving Haaland and Bellingham the perfect stage to prove themselves. They will directly challenge Yan Yuan, the biggest favorite for the Ballon d'Or!"

The discussion among fans on social media was even more heated:

"Holy crap, did you guys see Haaland's performance in the first round of the Bundesliga? He scored twice in the first round! My god, his physical attributes are terrifying."

"After watching him, he gives me the feeling that he's going to eat people. He has the physique of a top-tier center. He's a shoo-in for a top club."

"And Bellingham, I can only say Dortmund made a huge profit. This player has the makings of a superstar and will be a star in the future. I heard he's also my junior from the same school as Yan Shen."

"Birmingham's youth academy has produced two outstanding talents."

"To be honest, Belin is really handsome, but he's still a bit less so than me."

"Upstairs, you don't even have a mirror in your house, do you even have a pee?"

These discussions are not unfounded.

In the first round of Bundesliga matches that just concluded, Borussia Dortmund's new star duo delivered a stunning performance.

Amidst the thunderous cheers of the Westfalenstadion, Haaland opened his goal account for the new season with a powerful shot and a header, his powerful impact and shooting desire were terrifying.

Bellingham, on the other hand, displayed a maturity and versatility beyond his years in midfield, excelling in both attack and defense, and covering a huge area with his running, making him a rising all-around midfield star.

Their outstanding performance has filled people with confidence in Dortmund's youth storm and also made the clash between them and Yan Yuan's Arsenal full of endless possibilities.

However, before the Champions League began.

An even more significant and exciting piece of news, which has captivated football fans worldwide, has been officially announced by France Football magazine.

The final list of nominees for the 2019 Golden Globe Awards!

The release of this list instantly overshadowed all transfer news and draw topics, becoming the sole focus of the football world.

When people saw the rankings, although some of the results were expected, the details still sparked a huge wave of discussion.

First place, without a doubt, belongs to Yan Yuan.

This name is at the top of the list, and everyone agrees that it is well-deserved and undisputed.

Last season's unprecedented "unbeaten quadruple" achievement, a record-breaking 49 goals in the Premier League, a Champions League thrashing of Barcelona, ​​a brace in the final, and England's pivotal role in winning the UEFA Nations League...

This series of brilliant achievements.

It's no exaggeration to say that any one of them, taken individually, would be a top candidate.

When all of these factors are combined on a 19-year-old boy, the resulting energy is terrifying.

The media generally believe that "if such a performance cannot be ranked first, it can only prove that the Golden Globe Award selection mechanism has lost its credibility."

Yan Yuan's lead was described as "disruptive".

The second place is a bit controversial, Messi.

Although Messi delivered his usual top-level individual performance in La Liga and the Champions League group stage last season, winning the La Liga title.

However, the knockout stage matches, especially the two games where Arsenal thrashed us by 10 goals, remain unforgettable.

Perhaps it's because Messi still enjoys a high reputation, or perhaps it's for other reasons.

In short, many people feel that this ranking is somewhat controversial.

The third place winner was a newcomer, Virgil van Dijk.

This is a remarkable ranking. As a center-back, being able to surpass many top attackers and rank third is itself highly symbolic.

This reflects the reassessment and high recognition of the value of top defensive players in modern football.

Virgil van Dijk led Liverpool to the Champions League final last season and delivered a dominant performance in the Premier League, helping the team compete with Manchester City until the very last minute. His presence, defensive skills, and leadership have earned him global acclaim.

Fourth place: Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo's ranking has slipped compared to previous years, but he remains firmly in the top ranks. His performance in Serie A is still highly efficient, but Juventus's setback in the Champions League affected his final vote count.

……

Controversy arose when we shifted our focus to seventh place.

Seventh place: Kylian Mbappé.

Many people think this ranking is a bit low.

As a prodigy who was once known as one of the "new generation's two greatest talents" alongside Yan Yuan, Mbappe also had outstanding statistics in Ligue 1 last season and led Paris Saint-Germain to win the domestic title.

However, Paris's defeat in the Champions League and the doubts surrounding the overall competitiveness of Ligue 1 seem to have influenced his final assessment.

In comparison, Yan Yuan's brilliant achievements in the more intense Premier League and Champions League are undoubtedly more convincing.

This stark contrast has led many to remark that the balance of power between the two "prodigies" seems to be quietly shifting, with Yan Yuan having gained a clear lead in the race for honors.

After the roster was announced, fans and media around the world were discussing a core issue:

Can Yan Yuan win the Golden Globe Award this year and make history?

L'Équipe wrote an article pointing out that...

"This is no longer just a question of whether Yan Yuan can win an award, but whether he can create two football history records with this."

If all of this comes true, Yan Yuan will become the youngest Ballon d'Or winner in history at the age of 19, surpassing the previous record held by Ronaldo at 21.

At the same time, Yan Yuan will become the first player born in the 00s to win the Ballon d'Or, making him a true leader of the new generation.

This will be a landmark moment, symbolizing the passing of the torch in world football.

Why not?

With its data, honors, performance, and influence, it has virtually no weaknesses.

Yan Yuan: I lack nothing now.

However, a few conservative voices have raised this issue.

"The Ballon d'Or sometimes considers a player's 'experience' and 'consistency.' Isn't it too early to win at such a young age? Will the selection committee break with convention to deliberately create a legend?"

But the overwhelming public opinion is that...

Faced with Yan Yuan's phenomenal performance this year, any concerns about age or seniority seem pale and powerless.

Things like "King of Football" and "Eight Kings" can wait until later.

All eyes were on France Football magazine and the journalists from various countries who participated in the vote.

We hope they can make the fairest and most courageous choice, and crown a true, young king in this year that belongs to geniuses.
