The path to becoming a football legend began with being ousted from Carrington by Manchester United.

After a thorough examination by the team doctor, Lin Yi's ankle was found to be red and swollen, and even after applying pain-relieving spray, the pain did not disappear immediately.

Fortunately, it can be confirmed that there was no bone or Achilles tendon injury, so it will not affect Lin Yi's ability to continue the game.

With the help of the team doctor, Lin Yi, amidst a chorus of boos, limped to the sidelines, waiting for the referee's permission to return to the field.

Since Vidic committed the foul near midfield, the referee did not issue a card, and Manchester City's free kick did not pose much of a threat.

Manchester United still held the upper hand, and Lin Yi, who had returned to the field, could only helplessly shuttle back and forth in the midfield and forward area, waiting for his teammates to provide support.

Despite dominating possession, Manchester United struggled to change the score.

After nearly 20 minutes of intense attack, Manchester United began to consciously control the tempo in order to allocate their energy more rationally.

Manchester City finally got a chance to breathe, and as David Silva dropped deeper into the area, Manchester City's possession time gradually increased.

Lin Yi, who had been staying in the attacking third, began to make more active off-the-ball runs.

He had witnessed David Silva's abilities in training and knew that the opponent was capable of delivering a killer pass at any time.

Sure enough, in the 28th minute of the game, David Silva, who was leisurely controlling the ball in the backfield, suddenly raised his foot and sent a through ball that was nearly 30 meters long.

This surgical pass instantly tore through Manchester United's midfield defense, passing through the gap between the two defensive midfielders and accurately finding Lin Yi roaming on the edge of the penalty area.

Lin Yi pulled the ball back and turned, intending to shoot directly.

It was Vidic again. He charged out like a bull in heat, knocking Lin Yi, who was turning around, to the ground.

"Well done!"

"Yes! That's it! Teach that brat a lesson!"

"Truly worthy of being our iron-willed captain!"

Loud cheers erupted from the stands from Manchester United fans, who greatly admired their captain's toughness, especially since the foul was committed against that disgusting Lin Yi.

Encouraged, Vidic was overjoyed. Pointing at Lin Yi, who had just gotten up from the ground, he roared, "Remember that, you brat! I am Vidic! A mountain you can never climb over! Nemanja Vidic!"

However, the excited Vidic failed to notice that this time, his foul on Lin Yi was much closer to the goal than before.

David Silva came from the backfield to take the free kick.

"David!" Lin Yi called out the other person's name quietly.

Holding the ball, Silva saw Lin Yi's determined gaze and instantly understood what he meant. He nodded slightly, calmly placed the ball, and began measuring the steps.

Because his mother is of Japanese descent, David Silva has an Asian face. At this moment, he stands in front of the ball with two handsome men, Lin Yi.

Vidic, standing in the wall of men, yelled, "Rookie, you'd better hurry up! The moment the whistle blows, I'll pounce on you and tear you to shreds!"

Vidic curled his lips into a sneer. He could tell that Lin Yi wanted to take the free kick. He figured that Lin Yi probably couldn't find an opportunity in open play and was just trying his luck.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and lightly stomped his right foot on the grass. At this moment, his eyes were only on the goal, and he couldn't see Vidic, who was baring his teeth and claws in the wall of players.

David de Gea stood on the goal line, leaning slightly forward, his hands in a save position. His gaze shifted between Lin Yi and Silva, finally settling on Silva, clearly indicating that he judged Silva to be the true penalty taker.

Run-up, leg swing, touch! Lin Yi's right foot precisely struck the lower middle part of the ball.

Instead of flying over the wall as expected, the football skimmed the grass in a strange arc and sped out from the side of the wall.

De Gea's pupils suddenly contracted. He had already guessed the wrong penalty taker, and more importantly, he had taken it for granted that the opponent would choose a high ball. His center of gravity had already shifted upwards, and it was too late for him to dive down and save the ball.

The football, spinning intensely, suddenly accelerated in front of the goal, slammed into the inside of the goalpost, and bounced into the net.

The entire Wembley Stadium fell into a deathly silence. The cheers and shouts of Manchester United fans stopped abruptly, leaving only the frenzied roars of the Manchester City substitutes.

"Well done! You little rascal!" David Silva immediately jumped onto Lin Yi's back, ruffling his hair and cheering for him.

Other Manchester City players rushed over from all directions, venting their pent-up emotions.

From the start, they were dominated by their opponents, Manchester United, and everyone was on edge.

Now that Lin Yi has changed the score with a direct free kick, everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Vidic stood there dumbfounded, hardly believing his eyes. His earlier mockery of Lin Yi seemed like idiocy in the face of this brilliant goal.

"I have to find a way to get revenge!" This was the only thought in Vidic's mind.

Manchester United restarted the game, Rooney passed the ball back, Carrick received the ball and passed it back to center-back Vidic.

His mind was filled with thoughts of revenge, and he didn't notice that after the referee blew the whistle, Lin Yi sprinted forward like an arrow.

At this moment, Lin Yi had already rushed in front of Vidic, which made the Serbian tough center-back panic.

He tripped slightly, and Lin Yi seized the opportunity to poke the ball away.

Vidic, as if waking from a dream, quickly reached out to pull at Lin Yi's jersey to prevent the opponent from taking advantage of his mistake to break into the penalty area.

Feeling the pull from behind, Lin Yi quickly took two steps to adjust his footwork, hooked Vidic behind him, and unleashed a powerful right leg shot.

Vidic, who was behind Lin Yi, could not see the trajectory of the football, only a loud "bang" reached his ears.

Vidic could only helplessly pray that De Gea could stop Lin Yi's shot.

David de Gea, who was highly regarded by Manchester United and regarded as Van der Sar's successor, did not expect Lin Yi to be so decisive. Having just been outmaneuvered, he was completely unprepared to make a save.

It was too late for Lin Yi to fall to the ground hastily. He used the outside of his right foot to unleash a powerful shot with a clear arc, and the ball successfully bypassed De Gea's hand and went into the goal.

Manchester United conceded two goals in just two minutes, with the goal coming from Lin Yi, who had been shut out by their youth academy director, McGuinness.

Even the Manchester City players on the field were stunned. They had just finished celebrating their first goal, and the second goal came so quickly.

After Lin Yi scored, none of his teammates came to celebrate with him immediately.

Lin Yi did not run wildly, nor did he shout at the top of his lungs.

He transformed into Xu Zhimo, gently waving his hand to knock away Vidic's hand that was clutching his jersey, leaving without a trace.

Under Vidic's astonished gaze, Lin Yi slowly spoke: "I'm really sorry, what did you just say your name was? I don't remember, but I guess the whole Wembley will remember me. My name is Lin Yi."
