The path to becoming a football legend began with being ousted from Carrington by Manchester United.
Chapter 129 Three Joyous Events
After much deliberation, Wenger decided not to ask Van Persie for his true thoughts, but rather to wait and see before making a decision.
After watching the match, Wenger's heart sank to the bottom. He felt there was no need to ask anymore; the answer was already very obvious.
Arsenal secured a comfortable 3-0 away win against bottom-ranked Wolves, overtaking their city rivals Tottenham Hotspur who lost this round, and climbed back to third place.
But Van Persie seemed preoccupied and lacked fighting spirit throughout the match, showing no signs of being someone who was going to compete with Lin Yi for the Golden Boot.
What he's thinking about must be even more important than winning the top scorer award.
Whether Arsenal will sell another captain is none of Lin Yi's concern. For him, the good news is that Van Persie's goal tally did not increase this round, while he himself scored twice when he returned home to face a West Bromwich Albion team with nothing to play for.
With this, Lin Yi's league goal tally reached 30, extending his lead over Van Persie to 4 goals. With 5 rounds remaining in the league, his chances of winning the Golden Boot in his first season are very high.
英超联赛单赛季进球记录是由安迪·科尔和阿兰·希勒共同保持的,他们分别在1993-94赛季和1994-95赛季打进34球。
At that time, the Premier League had not yet been restructured, and there were 22 teams in total, with the league consisting of 42 rounds.
Lin Yi's 30 goals already put him in the top 5 all-time. If he can average one goal per game in the last five rounds, he could break the historical record.
Even if he can't achieve that, Lin Yi is only one step away from the record of 31 goals in a single season under the 38-round format, and surpassing this record would be a piece of cake.
What's even more terrifying is that Lin Yi was suspended for 6 rounds, but he actually only participated in 27 games and scored 30 goals, averaging 1.1 goals per game, which is an amazing efficiency.
Soon after, a second piece of good news came from the matches that ended a little later in this round.
Manchester United, who had been hoping for Manchester City to be stopped by Arsenal in the last round, may have been too disappointed and their mentality was affected. They suffered a shock 0-1 defeat away to relegation-threatened Wigan Athletic.
Manchester United, having faltered first, fell three points behind Manchester City, relinquishing their title-winning initiative.
If the two teams maintain this point difference, then when they meet in the 36th round, Manchester United must ensure they do not lose, otherwise they will hand Manchester City the title two rounds early.
After all, Manchester City, with Lin Yi and Aguero, has a huge lead over Manchester United in goal difference.
With double joy in his heart, Lin Yi once again traveled with the team to London to face Everton in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.
The rivalry between the two teams goes without saying. Everton captain Phil Neville was sidelined for the rest of the season and retired after a physical altercation with Lin Yi.
David Moyes is eager to lead Everton to eliminate Manchester City in front of 9 fans and finally get his revenge.
Unfortunately, due to his lack of strength, Moyes's idea was nothing more than wishful thinking.
Manchester City, who have been in good form recently, scored a goal in each half of the match, easily eliminating Everton from the competition.
They will face Chelsea, who are also competing on three fronts, in the final, where the two sides will compete for the FA Cup title at Wembley Stadium on May 6.
After finishing the match, Manchester City rushed back to Manchester to prepare for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich.
Robben, who arrived early with the team, shamelessly asked Lin Yi to treat him to a meal.
Although reluctant, Lin Yi couldn't resist Peter Pan's insistence and finally agreed to let him visit his villa as a guest, so as to fulfill his duty as a host.
"Kid! Why are you being so stingy? You can save money by eating at home." Robben was quite dissatisfied with Lin Yi's arrangement, after all, his real purpose was to make Lin Yi bleed money.
"After all this time, are you still not cured of your brain damage and mental illness?" Lin Yi retorted mercilessly. "In China, inviting guests to one's home is the highest form of etiquette. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
Robben was skeptical: "Really? Then what will we eat?"
"Four cool and four hot, the treatment is top-notch, let me tell you."
"The four hot dishes are braised pork intestines, grilled pig brains, spicy stir-fried chicken feet, and spicy blood curd."
"The four cold dishes are ginger-flavored preserved eggs, cold-dressed houttuynia cordata, braised pig's trotters, and cold-served rabbit head."
Robben was completely bewildered: "I don't understand a single one of these dish names you're talking about."
"It's alright, you don't need to understand. This is a recipe I personally devised. You'll eat it all without making a sound."
Robben finally felt Lin Yi's sincerity and couldn't help but smile.
In a good mood, even the proud Robben uttered some nice words.
"You've been having a really smooth run lately, leading the scoring charts, leading the league, and even reaching the FA Cup final. Did I forget to congratulate you on this triple celebration?"
Lin Yi replied casually, "Sorry, it's four blessings at once."
"Is there anything else I don't know?"
"This afternoon, the Professional Footballers' Association invited me to their annual awards ceremony tomorrow night and informed me that I have won the PFA Young Player of the Year award, the PFA Player of the Year award, and have been selected for the PFA Team of the Year."
"I knew I wasn't wrong about you; you are indeed qualified to be Arjen Robben's rival." After only a few words, Robben revealed his true nature.
In response, Lin Yi invited Robben to a restaurant, intending to shut him up with a lavish meal.
"Where's your girlfriend? Why isn't the big star here? Did you break up?" Robben asked as he walked.
"She didn't like the food tonight, so she left early."
Robben felt a sense of foreboding.
Once he sat down, he only glanced at the table before he exploded.
"Fuck, what the hell is that? A raptor's claw? Or is it a scavenging vulture?"
"What's this now? A wild boar's foot? You bastard!"
"Damn it, take this away! This rabbit still has its front tooth!"
"Why is this egg black? How long has it been dead? Are you trying to poison me?"
"This dish reminds me of wriggling intestines!"
"What is this white stuff? I could never eat it! I'd rather die than eat it!"
Under Robben's hysterical insistence, most of the dishes were taken away, leaving only the spicy blood curd and cold fish mint salad, which he couldn't discern as the original dish.
Still shaken, Robben cautiously inquired, "What are these bright red squares and this plate of plants? I suddenly realized I haven't had McDonald's in ages, could you order me some delivery?"
Lin Yi was too lazy to explain, so he tasted them one by one and then looked at Robben with the same look he gave a coward.
Under the influence of the provocation, Robben reluctantly ate a piece of duck blood and then forked up some houttuynia cordata and put it in his mouth.
A fishy smell, like crushed fish scales mixed with mud, hit Robben right in the head, instantly breaking his defenses.
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"
After vomiting for what seemed like forever, Robben was finally able to speak: "Kid, I give up. Tell me what that square is, I want to die knowing why!"
"Duck blood is the blood that clots together after a duck is killed."
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"
On the second day of training, Robben appeared listless but was in high spirits, frequently shouting, "Kill Manchester City! Kill Lin Yi!"
Knowing that Robben had visited the Lin family the night before, the veteran coach Heynckes couldn't help but suspect the true nature of their relationship.
