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

David Silva's long pass landed deep, aiming precisely at the space left behind by the opposing left-back Adriano after his attacking run.

Even Lin Yi, whose speed rivals that of a sprinter, struggled to keep up.

In order to gain control of the landing point, Lin Yi held his breath and sprinted at full speed. With each push-off, he could clearly feel the power returning from his muscles stretched to the limit.

The scenes on both sides rushed past, and the wind rushed into Lin Yi's collar, making his jersey whistle.

Mascherano also realized the danger of the current situation. At this moment, only he and Pique remained in Barcelona's backfield, not counting goalkeeper Valdes.

Although Adriano, Busquets, Alves, and others were desperately trying to get back on defense, they were clearly unreliable against Lin Yi's unreasonable speed.

Mascherano didn't even expect to gain the upper hand in the speed contest with Lin Yi. His idea was that it didn't matter if he couldn't get the ball before Lin Yi, as long as he could give him enough interference in time.

Because the pass landed close to the wing, Lin Yi couldn't shoot directly from that position. By delaying the ball a little, he could give his teammates a chance to get back on defense.

With this in mind, Mascherano ran while observing the position, and while trying to go as fast as possible, he kept himself on the same route Lin Yi was cutting inside, taking precautions in advance.

Just as Lin Yi was about to run out of breath and his lungs were being compressed to the limit, he finally managed to arrive near the landing point first.

At this moment, Silva's long pass had bounced off the ground once and was flying high into the air.

Mascherano was about two or three meters away from Lin Yi, giving Lin Yi plenty of time to wait for the ball to fall again and then control it.

However, this would allow Mascherano to capitalize on the opportunity to close in, making it extremely difficult for Lin Yi, who is positioned near the sideline with his back to the goal, to handle the ball.

Lin Yi understood that if that situation were to develop, this counterattack would most likely come to nothing.

For a period of time just now, Manchester City's formation was compressed very deep, with most players participating in defense near their own penalty area.

At this point, the only player who could join him in the counter-attack from the front line was Aguero; it was almost impossible for anyone else.

In order to better seize this hard-won opportunity, Lin Yi abandoned his plan to stop the ball.

Lin Yi, who had sprinted across nearly half the football field, suddenly leaped into the air before the ball even hit the ground. Head down, feet up, left foot leading the way, right foot gathering power behind, eyes fixed on the ball as it fell a second time, aiming for the landing point, and then, with his feet crossed, executed a scissor kick in mid-air.

Lin Yi unexpectedly sent the ball directly to the middle with a bicycle kick.

Before passing the ball, Lin Yi had no time to observe the situation in the middle, but he believed that Aguero must have caught up.

Considering that Aguero was not as fast as him, Lin Yi consciously hooked the ball back to ensure that it would not fall directly into the hands of Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes.

Lin Yi landed on his back and immediately rolled over on the grass, propping his head up with his neck, looking expectantly towards the middle lane.

As expected, the short mule did not disappoint him; Ah Kun did indeed appear in the middle lane.

The only slight drawback was that Lin Yi underestimated Aguero's reaction and speed; the pass was a bit too far back, landing almost at the edge of the penalty area.

At that moment, Aguero had just crossed the penalty area line and collided head-on with Pique, who was guarding there.

"That idiot!" Aguero cursed.

Fortunately, he collided with Pique, which forced him to stop his forward momentum; otherwise, Aguero would have definitely run past the ball.

To retrieve the ball that had been passed behind him, Aguero had to turn back immediately, but his body was still under the influence of inertia and he couldn't turn around right away.

In a moment of quick thinking, Aguero nudged Pique in the chest with his shoulder, using the recoil to bounce back.

The shoulder's strength is no match for the hand's, and Aguero's rebound wasn't far enough for him to comfortably control the ball.

But this is the only option; if he pushes Pique with his hand, he'll most likely be called for a foul by the referee.

Seeing the ball about to fly out of his control, Aguero was forced to imitate Lin Yi and perform a bicycle kick at the top of the penalty area, taking the shot without thinking twice.

Pique was bumped and headbutted by Aguero. Even with his superior physical attributes, he could only watch helplessly as Aguero created distance between them, unable to step forward in time to block Aguero's shot.

With no one interfering, Aguero accurately hit the target, hooking the ball squarely with the instep of his right foot, successfully sending Lin Yi's pass towards the Barcelona goal.

Apart from Lin Yi's opening move, Valdes spent almost no time doing anything else; his body wasn't in its most excited state.

More importantly, Lin Yi's bicycle kick cross from the wing and Aguero's bicycle kick shot from outside the penalty area were an unbelievable connection that was completely beyond his comprehension.

Caught off guard by the unpredictable passing combinations of Manchester City's twin stars, Valdes was caught off guard and, in his panic, failed to accurately judge the trajectory of the ball.

Aguero's shot bounced off the ground in front of the goal and flew over Valdes's hand into the net.

"Bicycle kick! Lin Yi's passing style is full of imagination! How to deal with Aguero in the middle? Bicycle kick too! Is this football? Are you sure it's not Lin Yi and Aguero doing acrobatics?" Zhan Junyi accidentally swore again.

"Lin Yi's bicycle kick! Aguero's bicycle kick! Goal! A stroke of genius! A stroke of genius! This is a masterpiece that should only exist in heaven; how often can one hear it on earth! I was born hundreds of years too late to hear the beauty of the music described by the poet Du Fu, but how fortunate I am to witness the birth of such a magnificent goal today!"

He Wei, who didn't have his commentary opportunity stolen by Liu Jianhong this time, felt relieved. What did it matter if he let Liu Jianhong have it last time? If he had missed this goal, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to announce now that the 2012 Puskás Award has been awarded. Having been a football commentator for nearly forty years, I've seen Maradona dribble past five players to eliminate us, and I've seen Zidane's spectacular long-range strike in the Champions League final, but I've never seen such an imaginative goal! My life has been worthwhile!"

Martin Tyler was genuinely impressed, even comparing the goal to those of Maradona and Zidane.

In the movie "Protégé," Lin Kun could only secretly eat candy while painfully clutching his kidney, which was suffering from kidney disease. In the end, he suffered a tragic death as punishment for his evil deeds.

However, Lin Kun's connection on the football field resulted in a perfect goal at Camp Nou that will be recorded in the history of human football.

It's worth noting that the brilliance of this goal far surpasses Lin Yi's early lightning strike.

But this time the home fans didn't stand up and applaud; they remained seated, feeling threatened by Manchester City.
