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

July 11, 2021, Wembley Stadium, London.

This sacred place, which bears witness to countless glories and sorrows in English football, reached an unprecedented fever pitch tonight.

It wasn't just the deafening roar of the more than 90,000 packed audience members, but also the weight of this final match—a weight that could rewrite history.

For English football, this is 55 years of waiting and anticipation.

Since winning the World Cup on home soil in 1966, the Three Lions have never touched a major tournament trophy again. Countless golden generations have fallen by the wayside, leaving behind too many tragic chapters of "football returning home".

Tonight, on their home turf, they are just one game away from ending this long wait.

For Yan Yuan, who was only 20 years and 342 days old and wearing the number 7 jersey, the significance of this match had already surpassed that of a European Cup title.

Throughout the season, he rose like a comet, leading Arsenal to a three-peat in the Champions League with terrifying statistics and decisive performances, and personally winning the European Golden Boot.

In this European Championship, he was even more outstanding, carrying the team on his shoulders with a devastating 10 goals, crushing all the way to the final.

Before the match, the loyal English media had already portrayed this final as Yan Yuan's "coronation battle".

Despite Harry Kane wearing the captain's armband, Yan Yuan is considered by countless teammates, fans, and even experts to be the true soul and the only "star" of the England team.

Yes, in present-day England, only Yan Yuan can be called the Emperor Star.

No one was more dazzling than Yan Yuan.

Whether it's England fans or Yan Yuan's teammates.

Everyone knew the unspoken agreement.

They only had one thought:

If they win the championship tonight, the honor of being the youngest captain in England's history, as well as the title of "King of Football," will undoubtedly fall on Yan Yuan's head.

The night sky at Wembley has reserved the most dazzling stars for him.

The atmosphere in the locker room before the game was solemn yet full of energy.

Manager Gareth Southgate gave his final tactical instructions, his voice calm and firm:

"Everyone, remember our plan! Midfielders, Rice and Bellingham, shut down Jorginho! Don't let him play comfortably! Cut off their connection between the front and back lines!"

"On offense! Kane drop back to draw attention, Rashford and Yan Yuan, your speed is their nuclear weapon! Attack behind Bonucci and Chiellini! They are experienced, but their turning ability is our absolute advantage!"

"Defense! Maguire, Stones, mark Immobile tightly, don't give him any space!"

Finally, Southgate looked at Yan Yuan again, his eyes filled with trust.

"Yan, play your usual style, conquer! Tonight belongs to you, to England!"

"Yes, Coach!"

Yan Yuan took a deep breath and exchanged glances with Kane, Rice, and the others beside him. Their eyes were filled with a determination that left no room for error.

With the whistle of Italian referee Rocchi...

The 2020 European Championship final has officially begun!

Just as Southgate had planned, England displayed exceptional tactical discipline and aggression from the very first minute.

Instead of playing conservatively, they pressed forward aggressively, launching fierce attacks on Italy's midfield organization.

Rice and Bellingham were like two tireless meat grinders, focusing their attention on Jorginho, the core of Italy's organization.

Whenever Jorginho gets the ball, he immediately faces close marking and pressing from English players, leading to more passing errors and an inability to effectively orchestrate the attack.

Verratti and Barella were also severely limited, and Italy's strong midfield control was completely disrupted.

In the 12th minute, the first deadly threat came from speed.

Rashford received a long pass on the left wing, used his speed to outpace Di Lorenzo, and crossed from the byline. Kane was in the middle to meet the cross, but unfortunately his shot was blocked by Chiellini and went out of bounds!

Italy tried to stabilize their position and wear down England's momentum by controlling possession.

However, England maintained an excellent defensive formation, with Maguire and Stones marking Immobile very successfully, making Italy's attack seem more bark than bite.

In the 38th minute, England intercepted the ball in their own half, and Luke Shaw passed it to Bellingham in midfield.

Bellingham looked up and saw that the Italian defenses had briefly loosened due to a forward push.

Without any hesitation, he delivered a precise long pass over the top, directly targeting the space behind the Italian defense!

The ball landed in the exact direction Yan Yuan was sprinting!

He was like a sports car, taking off in an instant and leaving all the defenders behind!

Bonucci tried desperately to catch up, but the difference in age and speed became glaringly obvious at that moment.

Yan Yuan perfectly controlled the ball, creating a one-on-one opportunity!

He dribbled into the penalty area, calmly observed the onrushing Italian goalkeeper Donnarumma, and then skillfully unleashed a shot with the outside of his right foot!

The ball rolled past the fallen Donnarumma and slowly into the empty net!

"GOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!! Yan Yuan!!! England 1-0 Italy!!! A perfect counter-attack! Bellingham's pass was exquisite! Yan Yuan's speed and composure decided the game! The soul of the Three Lions!!!" The commentator's voice was almost hoarse.

Yan Yuan rushed towards the corner flag area, opened his arms, and accepted the worship of the entire audience.

This goal perfectly illustrated England's tactical intentions and showcased his unparalleled individual ability.

In the 44th minute, Italy won a corner kick. Chiellini outjumped Stones in the penalty area and headed the ball towards the goal.

The ball, with great force, hurtled straight toward the goal.

At this critical moment, Maguire appeared on the goal line like a giant tower, blocking the ball with his body.

A crucial save for the team, worth a fortune!

At halftime, England led 1-0.

The tactics were a complete success, and the situation was extremely favorable.

In the second half, Italian coach Mancini made adjustments, bringing on more attackers in an attempt to strengthen the attack.

However, this actually gave England more room to counterattack.

In the 63rd minute, the moment that would decide the champion arrived.

After a patient passing game in their own half, the ball returned to Yan Yuan on the right wing.

Facing the Italian players' defense, he did not choose to force his way through, but instead passed the ball back to Kane who was there to receive it, while he himself quickly moved forward.

Kane understood immediately and passed the ball to Rice in the middle.

Rice saw that Yan Yuan had made a run into space and sent a through ball!

Yan Yuan received the ball about 28 meters from the goal.

There were no defenders around him who immediately stepped forward to block him.

He made a slight adjustment, and before the ball had fully landed, he swung his golden right foot and unleashed a stunning volley.

The ball, like a cannonball, spun violently and flew in a desperate arc, heading straight for the top right corner of the goal.

A world-class goal! An absolute world-class goal!

Donnarumma fought hard, but couldn't get a chance! 2-0!!!

"My God!!! A world-class goal!!! Yan Yuan!!! A brace!!! A brace in the European Championship final!!! England are 2-0 up! The championship is beckoning to them! We have almost crushed Italy!!!" The England commentators went completely wild.

This goal completely shattered the Italian players' mental defenses.

In the 78th minute, with the game already lost, the Italian team pushed their formation even further forward, which made their defensive vulnerabilities even more pronounced.

England launched another quick counter-attack. Rice intercepted the ball in midfield and delivered a pinpoint through ball to Saka, who had come on as a substitute on the left wing and was making a high-speed run.

Saka dribbled the ball forward and, facing Donnarumma, calmly slotted it into the far corner.

3-0!!

"Saka! Goal! The game is over! The champions belong to England!!!" The cheers at Wembley Stadium reached their peak.

After scoring, Saka celebrated with an excited knee slide, and all the substitutes rushed onto the field!

The final ten minutes or so turned into a countdown of celebration for England fans.

Italy was powerless to turn the tide.

The final whistle blew, and history was made.

When referee Rocky blew the final whistle, the entire Wembley Stadium erupted into complete frenzy.

Red confetti flew everywhere.

The song "Football's Coming Home" resounded through the sky!

The England players embraced, jumped, and mingled tears and sweat.

After 55 years of waiting, the dream has finally come true.

The Three Lions are the European champions!

All the attention was focused on Yan Yuan.

He scored twice in the final, netting the crucial opening goal and the game-winning long-range strike, making him the undisputed king of Wembley tonight.

His teammates surged in from all directions, surrounding him, and then, under the gaze of fans worldwide, they chanted Yan Yuan's name.

Time and again, they tossed their heroes, their leaders, and their "Imperial Star" high into the sky!

The shouts of "Yan! Yan! Yan!" became the most beautiful melody at Wembley that night.

On the sidelines, head coach Gareth Southgate and his coaching staff embraced each other excitedly.

Solskjaer looked at Yan Yuan, who was being tossed into the air, his eyes filled with satisfaction and affirmation.

He silently recited in his heart:

"The time has come. Yan has all the qualifications to be England's first captain – technique, championship honors, leadership, and the spirit to conquer all."

Harry Kane, the dutiful captain, also joined the celebration with a genuine smile.

Kane knew better than anyone that the young man beside him had completely surpassed him and become the banner leading England into a new era.

Surrounded by his teammates, Yan Yuan's face beamed with a bright and happy smile.

20 years and 342 days old, European Championship winner, final MVP, tournament Golden Boot...

A series of brilliant records are associated with his name.

But more importantly, Yan Yuan led the team to realize the nation's dream and achieve a historic breakthrough.

At this moment, he was no longer just the genius king in the hearts of Arsenal fans; he was also England's new football god, the new king of Wembley, and a legend destined to be recorded in the history of world football.

Tonight, football has truly come home.

The person who led it home was a young man named Yan Yuan.

A new era for Yan Yuan and England officially began when the UEFA European Championship trophy was raised high under the dazzling lights of Wembley Stadium.
