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

"What happened?"

Although the referee's gesture toward the center circle and the rewritten scoreboard had already told Lin Yi that they were behind, he was still somewhat unwilling to give up and asked the seemingly bewildered goalkeeper, Joe Hart.

Startled by Lin Yi's question, Joe Hart quickly replied, "It was Tony Cross. After the ball you blocked fell to his feet, he immediately took a low shot. Cross's shot was so subtle that I didn't react in time."

As he spoke, Joe Hart lowered his head in shame: "I'm sorry, Lin, I let you down with that beautiful block."

"Look at you, all cowardly!" Lin Yi slapped Joe Hart on the head with some displeasure. "I've played against Kahn and Schmeichel, and they would never be as dejected as you after conceding a goal."

"Believe it or not, if it were Kahn, he would have grabbed me by the collar and asked me why I didn't get up and block it again. He would never have bowed his head and apologized to me like you have."

"How come you played football with Kahn and Schmeichel? Schmeichel retired in 03, when you were only 10 years old." Joe Hart's ability to guard the goal was average, but he was very talented as a detective and instantly discovered the blind student's strength.

Lin Yi thought to himself: So what if I played with Kahn and Schmeichel? I've been through two Champions League finals. You haven't seen how I, your brother, kicked Materazzi.

However, he still tried to appease Joe Hart, covering up the secret he had accidentally let slip.

"Don't worry about the details, it's just an insignificant charity match. You need to learn to be more assertive. Come on, try yelling at me like Kahn did, get a feel for it."

Joe Hart took a deep breath, staring intently into Lin Yi's eyes, his fair face quickly turning red.

"Ouch! Spare me! I won't!" Joe Hart, who had only lasted a few seconds, lowered his head and gasped for breath.

"Useless piece of trash! Watch me show you!" Lin waved his hand, beckoning Aguero over. "You little mule, let's hear you curse me a couple of times."

"I've never heard of such a stupid request before, you big idiot!"

"See? Do you know why Akun was able to score? Because he has fearless courage."

"Lin, don't lie to me. Sergio has no guts. He kept backing away when he was insulting you, and now he's almost backed up to Bayern." Joe Hart shook his head vigorously, indicating that he wouldn't be fooled.

"Lin, I don't think your idea will work. Even if I were possessed by Kahn and transformed into the Lion King, it wouldn't change the fact that we're behind. Instead of encouraging me, why don't you go ahead and score a goal? Help me regain our honor!"

Just then, the rest of Manchester City's teammates gathered around.

Yaya Touré said, "Sergio can't run anymore, you're our last hope, go score one!"

Milner: "Don't forget you're our best striker! There's no point in continuing to focus on Robben now."

"Go, Lin."

"Go, Lin!"

Except for Aguero, who had retreated quite far and hadn't come over yet, everyone else expressed their agreement.

Clichy patted his chest and said, "Leave Robben to me! You can go ahead with confidence!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Krish noticed that everyone was looking at him with suspicion, and his confidence instantly diminished.

"Don't look at me like that! I meant hand him over to me, I'll do my best to deal with him. You know Robben isn't some nobody!"

Kompany called for everyone to form a circle, and everyone placed their right hand on Lin Yi's hand.

"Go, Lin, score one! We'll handle the rest. If Gale messes up, don't worry about it, I'll just strangle him. Come on, I'll count to three, and we'll all shout 'Score one!'"

"one two three!"

"Go in!"

Amidst the resounding shouts of the crowd, the Manchester City players scattered and ran back to their respective positions.

Arriving late, Aguero looked completely bewildered, and he mimicked Uncle Da by spreading his hands.

"What the hell are you guys doing? I'm not even here yet, and it's already over? I'm not even here! Hey! I'm not even here yet!"

"Stop talking nonsense and come with me to kick off. Let's hurry up." Lin Yi put his arm around Aguero and walked towards the center circle.

Left behind, Aguero kept muttering to himself, "What was the plan all about? What's the point of a plan without my involvement? Don't they know who the best player of this match is?"

Lin Yi pressed him down into his seat, put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Your task is very simple, so there's no need to call you over specifically."

Aquila jumped up immediately: "Who do you think you are? Why were you assigned such an easy task? Shouldn't I be responsible for the most important part?"

Lin Yi patted the back of his head like he was soothing a restless child: "Don't worry, the task is simple, but it is indeed the most important part."

"That's more like it! Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"Don't pass it back when you kick off, just flick it gently."

"Simple! And then what?"

"That's all."

"That's it?"

Seeing that Aguero was about to jump up again, Lin Yi quickly continued to make up tasks for him.

"Just kidding, just kidding. After you kick off, don't worry about anything, just run straight ahead, and don't turn back until you reach their penalty area. By the way, do you still have the stamina for a sprint?"

Aguero squinted, looking thoughtful, then suddenly realized, "I get it! You want to launch a surprise attack on them during the kickoff! Don't worry, my stamina is fine, but can you pass accurately? It's such a long distance, why don't you let Yaya come over?"

"So I'm telling you to run in a straight line. How could I possibly miss a shot in a straight line? It's just like taking a shot on goal."

"OK! Let's give them a surprise!"

Aguero's eagerness made Lin Yi reluctant to tell him that this was not a plan they had discussed at all, but just something Lin Yi had casually mentioned to fool him.

As the referee blew his whistle, Aguero, who felt he was carrying an important mission, gently flicked the ball forward, then mustered the last bit of energy in his body and charged forward with all his might.

Manchester City had used a similar tactic in a previous match, and Bayern players guessed what they were up to as soon as they saw Aguero running with his head down.

Bayern players all retreated with Aguero, and the two center-backs anticipated Aguero's running route and prepared to intercept him.

Another person who started taking action ahead of time was Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

If we were to choose the goalkeeper who most likes to come out of his goal, Neuer would be second to none.

He coined a series of revolutionary and subversive terms such as goalkeeper and sweeper-goalkeeper, expanding the defensive area of ​​a goalkeeper by frequently rushing out of the penalty area to participate in defense during matches.

Based on his excellent reading and anticipation skills, Neuer can always anticipate the opponent's passing route and intercept it, often averting danger before a one-on-one opportunity arises.

This time was no exception. Neuer, who thought he had seen through Lin Yi and Aguero's little schemes, strode forward. He didn't believe that Aguero could win the landing point in front of him, who was 193cm tall.

Neuer intends to show his opponent through his actions that such underhanded tricks will only make him a laughingstock in the face of true strength.

At the same moment, Lin Yi also took action.

He ignored Aguero's sprint ahead, his eyes fixed on the football on the ground, his expression serious and focused as he took his run-up.

His raised right foot lashed out like a whip, striking the low part of the football hard.

The football was instantly lifted off the ground, whistling through the air.
