Chapter 326 Right Foot Outside-of-the-Foot Catch Over an Opponent
The fifteen-minute halftime break evoked drastically different moods for the two sides.
In the home team's locker room, Nagelsmann showed no signs of relaxation despite being two goals ahead.
He slammed his hand on the tactics board, his voice resolute: "Listen! 2-0 is the most dangerous score on the football field! Don't give them any hope! From the first minute, keep the pressure on! We must completely destroy them! Remember the lesson from last time, this time, we must nail victory to the wall!" His sharp gaze swept over each player, finally landing on Yan Yuan, where he nodded slightly, an affirmation of the captain's perfect performance in the first half.
Yan Yuan's sweat-drenched hair clung to his forehead. He took a deep breath, stood up, and shouted to his teammates.
"The coach's right! Guys, forty-five minutes left! Stay focused, for the fans, and for ourselves!"
The second half began with the teams switching sides.
Tottenham did try to rally, pushing their formation forward at the start in hopes of gaining an early advantage.
But Arsenal's players, like machines executing a precise program, showed no signs of letting up.
Their high-pressing remains fierce, and their midfield interceptions are still decisive.
In the 50th minute, Arsenal's attacking wave swept in again, completely extinguishing Tottenham's counterattack.
The ball was passed from the backfield to Saka on the left wing.
Saka appeared confident despite being marked by Tottenham's right-back Sergi Aurier.
He first feigned cutting inside, then suddenly pulled the ball back with the sole of his foot, followed by an acceleration, easily breaking past Aurier by using the change in rhythm.
Aurier was thrown off balance and could only watch helplessly as Saka drove off.
"Saka has broken past Aurier! He just got past Aurier so easily! Young Saka!" Martin Tyler shouted.
After breaking through, Saka looked up to observe the center of the penalty area.
Aubameyang, like a ghost, shook off Sanchez's marking and sped towards the goal.
Without hesitation, Saka delivered a low, quick cross, which rolled precisely towards the penalty spot.
Aubameyang arrived in a hurry.
He beat Alderweireld to the ball and sent it into the bottom left corner of the goal with a deft tap-in.
Lori's view was obstructed.
"Goooooooooal!!! Aubameyang!!! Arsenal score again! 3-0! The game seems to have lost its suspense!" Martin Tyler's voice carried a hint of declaration.
"A fluid, unstoppable attack!" Gary Neville exclaimed. "Saka's dribbling was sharp, his crosses were precise, and Aubameyang's positioning and shooting were textbook examples. Tottenham's defense was completely breached. This goal essentially killed the game."
After scoring, Aubameyang rushed to the corner flag and performed his signature somersault celebration. Although the movement was a bit heavy, his joy was palpable.
The Emirates Stadium was once again transformed into a sea of joy, filled with resounding songs.
The 3-0 scoreline was like a heavy hammer blow to the hearts of every Tottenham player.
Pochettino shook his head helplessly on the sidelines, then sat back down on the bench, his eyes revealing a sense of dejection and helplessness.
With a commanding lead, Arsenal played with more relaxation and confidence, beginning to enjoy the game. What followed was Yan Yuan's personal show.
In the 65th minute, a goal destined to go down in history was scored.
Rice made a clean tackle in midfield to win the ball back from Winks' feet.
He quickly passed the ball to Rodri next to him.
Facing pressure, Rodriguez passed the ball directly to Madison at the top of the center circle without stopping it.
Madison also played a one-touch pass, using the outside of his foot to distribute the ball to Saka, who was making a high-speed run down the left flank.
"Beautiful consecutive passes! Rice, Rodri, Maddison, Saka! They all pass the ball with one touch! Arsenal's counter-attacks are so fluid, beautiful football is still so beautiful!" Commentator Martin Tyler's speech became faster and faster.
Saka received the ball on the left wing, drawing the attention of Aurier and Sissoko.
At this moment, Yan Yuan had quietly moved in from the right flank and arrived at a position slightly to the right of the edge of the penalty area.
Saka spotted the unmarked captain and passed the ball across without hesitation.
The ball came to Yan Yuan's feet.
Tottenham left-back Danny Rose quickly moved forward to block.
Yan Yuan appeared unusually calm when facing Ross.
He first swayed his upper body repeatedly, then quickly swept his feet over the ball, making a realistic "bicycle kick" feint, which slightly shifted Rose's center of gravity.
Just as Ross hesitated, Yan Yuan made a move that caused the entire audience to gasp in surprise.
He then used his right foot to feint a circle around the ball.
Then, after a feint, he immediately used the outside of his right foot, seemingly casually, as if hooking something, to gently hook the ball over Rose's head.
This move was full of imagination and deception, completely catching Ross off guard!
"Oh my god! Yan Yuan! What kind of amazing move is that?!" Martin Taylor exclaimed.
The ball sailed over Rose's head and fell behind him.
Yan Yuan did not pause at all.
Using his explosive power, he instantly overtook Rose from the other side.
Ross reacted quickly and turned around, trying to block the position with his body, but Yan Yuan's strength and speed had an absolute advantage!
The two had a brief physical contact.
Yan Yuan's arm was firmly planted in front of Ross's chest.
Rose was also tugging at Yan Yuan's jersey.
Unfortunately, Rose was completely unable to stop his charge!
The ball was still falling through the air, and Yan Yuan had already gained a completely advantageous position in the physical confrontation.
Before the ball had fully landed, he leaped to the right of the penalty spot, his left leg slightly bent as support, while his right leg rose high.
He was like a fully drawn bow, striking the still-falling ball solidly with the instep of his right foot!
"A volley!!!!!" The shouts of the two commentators mingled together.
Bang! A muffled thud!
The ball, like a cannonball, flew straight into the near corner of the goal at an astonishing speed without any spin.
Lloris didn't even have time to make a full save; he just instinctively waved his hand, and the ball crashed heavily into the net behind him!
The entire Emirates Stadium.
At that moment, an absolute silence fell, followed by a deafening roar of cheers and exclamations that nearly blew the roof off.
"wooooooow!!!!"
"Goooooooooooooooooal!!!!" Martin Taylor's voice reached an unprecedented decibel level.
"My God! What did I just see?! A right-footed outside-of-the-foot hook past a defender! A volley! Yan Yuan completes his hat-trick! Yan Yuan delivers a perfect hat-trick! This is a work of art! A goal worthy of the Puskás Award! The Emirates Stadium is going crazy for him! 4-0!"
Gary Neville was so excited he was almost incoherent.
"Incredible! Unparalleled! What imagination, skill, strength, and courage this requires! To score such a goal in a derby match, Yan Yuan isn't just a star tonight, he's an artist, a magician! The Tottenham players have become the backdrop for this magnificent goal!"
After scoring the goal, Yan Yuan seemed to be stunned for a moment before being overwhelmed by immense joy and a sense of accomplishment.
He spread his arms and ran around the field, greeting the home fans.
All his teammates, from the backcourt to the frontcourt, rushed towards him, surrounding him and vigorously ruffling his hair and patting his back.
This goal completely shattered the last shred of fighting spirit left in the Tottenham players' hearts, their eyes filled with despair and confusion.
Nagelsmann and the entire coaching staff jumped up, hugged each other, shook their heads in disbelief, and beamed with immense pride.
The game has completely fallen into Arsenal's rhythm.
It even took on a performative quality.
In the 75th minute, Yan Yuan returned the favor.
He easily received the ball on the right wing, and facing a Rose who had lost confidence, he broke through the defense with a simple change of direction and cut into the penalty area.
Instead of seeking credit, he calmly observed the situation and delivered a triangular back pass, which accurately found Saka lurking at the edge of the penalty area!
Saka didn't stop the ball.
A direct shot into the bottom right corner of the goal! 5-0!
"Saka! The icing on the cake! Arsenal lead 5-0! Yan Yuan provided the assist! His performance tonight was perfect!" The commentator was speechless.
However, Yan Yuan's performance was not over yet.
He needs to shine not only on offense, but also demonstrate his versatility on defense.
In the 80th minute, Tottenham were awarded a corner kick, which was their last chance to salvage some pride.
The ball was crossed into the penalty area, and in the ensuing scramble, it was headed out of the box by an Arsenal player.
Tottenham players controlled the second ball and attempted to launch a second attack.
Just then, a red figure sped off from the edge of Tottenham's penalty area like lightning, sprinting back in pursuit.
It was Yan Yuan, who had just been involved in corner kick defense in the attacking third.
He started his chase from near the halfway line with astonishing speed, and before the Tottenham player could pass the ball to the unmarked Son Heung-min, he made a precise sliding tackle, cleanly clearing the ball out of bounds.
"Look at that defensive run!" Martin Tyler's voice was full of admiration. "It's Yan Yuan again! Yan Yuan, who scored a hat-trick! He chased back more than 50 meters from the opponent's penalty area and made a crucial tackle! What kind of attitude is that? What kind of stamina is that? This is the sense of responsibility of a world-class star! All-around player!"
The entire audience gave a warm round of applause for this defensive play.
This is even more moving than a goal.
Gary Neville exclaimed, "That's why he's the captain, that's why he earns everyone's respect. Even when leading 5-0, he still tirelessly tracked back on defense. His professionalism is truly admirable."
In the 85th minute, Nagelsmann substituted Willock for Yan Yuan.
When Yan Yuan and Willock high-fived and then jogged to the sidelines, the entire Emirates Stadium rose to their feet, erupting in thunderous applause and cheers that lasted for a long time.
"Strict! Strict! Strict!"
"King! King! King!!"
The shouts echoed through the sky.
Yan Yuan clapped in all four directions of the stands, then embraced Nagelsmann tightly on the sidelines before walking off the field.
This is a privilege reserved for heroes.
When the referee blew the final whistle, the scoreboard displayed glaring numbers.
Arsenal 5:0 Tottenham Hotspur
This marked the end of an epic massacre.
This was a complete and utter crushing defeat, a thoroughly satisfying revenge.
Yan Yuan stood on the sidelines, embracing each of his teammates as they walked off the court.
His jersey was soaked through, and his face was a mixture of sweat, grass clippings, and an incredibly satisfied smile.
He not only completed a perfect hat-trick with three spectacular goals, but also demonstrated what a true team leader and all-around player is with an assist and a crucial defensive recovery.
The sky over North London was dyed in the purest red and white, a stark reminder of the old grievances surrounding the controversial ruling.
At this moment, they were thoroughly humiliated by these five heavy goals.
