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

The match between Manchester City and Wolves was the 35th round of the Premier League this season. At the same time, the 34th round of the Premier League was also underway, while Manchester City was playing the first leg against Bayern Munich.

Because the dates clashed completely, the FA, which was determined to sabotage Manchester City, had no choice but to move the Manchester City vs. Norwich match to May 2nd.

Rival Manchester United defeated Aston Villa 4-0 in this round, and with one more game played, they have caught up with Manchester City in points, temporarily sitting in second place due to a lower goal difference.

Another match in Round 34 that could attract the attention of fans like Lin Yi is Arsenal's home game against Wigan Athletic.

People aren't interested in Arsenal's Champions League qualification or Wigan Athletic's relegation battle; they're simply concerned with whether Van Persie can score and whether he'll threaten Lin Yi's top spot on the scoring charts.

With his mind seemingly elsewhere, Van Persie not only failed to score, but his poor form even affected the entire team.

Arsenal suffered a 1-2 defeat at home, dropping the team to fourth place in the standings once again, and Robin van Persie's hopes of winning the Golden Boot now remain only theoretical.

Lin Yi demonstrated through his actions just how important the form of the team's star striker is to the team.

In the following 35th round of the league, facing another team fighting desperately to avoid relegation, Manchester City achieved a different result than Arsenal.

Thanks to Lin Yi's brace in the heavy rain, Manchester City easily defeated Wolves 2-0 away from home, continuing to firmly grasp the initiative in the title race.

Arsenal continued their lack of attacking prowess, drawing 0-0 with Chelsea, who were resting for the Champions League semi-final, and Robin van Persie failed to score for the third consecutive round.

This extended Lin Yi's lead to six goals, and with only three rounds left in the league, he has almost secured the Premier League Golden Boot this season.

It's worth noting that Manchester City still has a rescheduled match to play, meaning Lin Yi will have one more game to play than Van Persie.

Lin Yi's supporters have already begun celebrating his Golden Boot win in his first season.

After scoring twice, Lin Yi's goal tally for the season reached 32.

This achievement officially surpasses Alan Shearer's 31 goals in the 1995-1996 season, making him the all-time top scorer in a single season since the Premier League was restructured into a 38-round season.

距离1993-94赛季安迪·科尔和1994-95赛季阿兰·希勒共同保持的34球英超历史单赛季进球记录只剩两个球的差距，只需要一个帽子戏法林一就能登顶历史第一。

Considering that Cole and Shearer's record of 34 goals was achieved in 42 league matches, and with the Premier League now down to 20 teams, the possibility of future expansion is extremely slim.

If Lin Yi breaks this record, it will likely be an achievement that is unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated.

Not only in England, but in any country around the world that loves football, there are a large number of neutral fans hoping that Lin Yi will break the historical record.

Only fans of a certain mysterious Eastern superpower are questioning their own football association: "How come such a powerful figure can't even make the national team roster?"

Regardless of the results, the threshold for our national team is unprecedented and unparalleled.

However, this was not the problem that troubled Lin Yi. What really caused him trouble was the extremely dense schedule of matches during this period.

The FA and the Premier League readily postponed Manchester City's 34th round match. Besides having no other options, the more important reason was to shut Manchester City up, allowing them to openly refuse Manchester City's request to postpone the 35th round of the league.

This significantly increased the time Manchester City spent traveling.

When Manchester City finished their away game against Wolves, there were only 74 hours left before their match against Bayern Munich kicked off.

Wolfsburg, where Wolves are based, has only a small airport, barely bigger than a long-distance bus station, which does not support international flights.

The entire Manchester City team didn't even have time to shower and change before boarding their luxury bus and rushing to Birmingham International Airport, 30 kilometers away.

Manchester City plans to fly from there to Munich, the capital of Bavaria in southern Germany, on a private plane.

Manchester City have had pretty good luck so far this season, but it seems that all of that will be rewritten on the night of April 22.

When the Manchester City team arrived at Birmingham Airport after their rainy match against Wolves, they found it was raining there too, and much more heavily than it had been at Wolfsburg.

According to the UK Met Office, April 2012 was the wettest April in the UK since records began in 1910.

The historic extreme weather prevented Manchester's chartered plane from taking off due to security restrictions. After all, chartered planes are small and lightweight, and their stability in bad weather is not as good as that of large passenger planes.

No one can guarantee that the tragedy that befell Manchester United in 1958 will not be repeated by Manchester City. After all, the name of that accident was "Munich Air Disaster," which sounds very ominous.

After being stranded for about two hours, good news finally came from my hometown: the rain in Manchester had subsided a bit and met the minimum requirements for takeoff.

So Pellegrini had no choice but to lead his disciples back onto the bus and drive more than 100 kilometers back to Manchester in the heavy rain, from where they would fly to Munich.

Thanks to Manchester City's large sums of pounds, Chairman Mubarak was able to arrange a charter flight, otherwise they would have been stuck in Birmingham waiting in vain.

After all this trouble, by the time Manchester arrived in Munich, completed immigration procedures, collected their checked luggage, and boarded the bus to their hotel, it was already 9:4 AM Munich time on April 23.

Manchester City has less than 36 hours left to prepare, and this doesn't even take into account the fact that everyone has been working hard all night and barely slept, and needs to catch up on sleep first.

In the hotel lobby, the players dragged their suitcases, their faces etched with exhaustion.

Even Yaya Touré, the team's most physically fit and resilient player, was leaning against the elevator entrance, wearing headphones and dozing off.

Aguero, who has not yet recovered from the excessive physical exertion in the last game, is like a sloth, even his speech and walking are half a beat slower than normal humans.

With dark circles under his eyes, Pellegrini, his frail body swaying, confirmed the day's arrangements with his staff.

"Sleep! Everyone go to sleep!" Pellegrini gave his final instructions before dismissing the team. "Get up at noon to eat, and go practice on the field in the evening. No one is allowed to do any extra training on their own. The most important thing now is to rest. Go back to your room and close your eyes immediately. Don't waste a single minute."

What bothered Lin Yi the most was not staying up late, but flying.

Lin Yi's professional career is less than a season in total. England's total area is only 13.04 square kilometers, which is about the size of Anhui and Fujian provinces.

For away games, Manchester City usually only needs to travel by luxury bus, so Lin Yi is not used to being a frequent flyer.

Until the moment before the match started, Lin Yi had not completely recovered from the fatigue brought on by the long flight.

His other teammates weren't much better off, especially Aguero, who clearly hadn't recovered and practically clung to Lin Yi when he walked.

Ahead of this crucial match that will determine who advances to the final, Manchester City's two stars are both running low on energy.

Even though he is known as an "engineer," Pellegrini is helpless in the face of the current situation.

They had neither enough time to train nor enough time to recover.

Manchester City players, who had only briefly visited the stadium, had to drag their tired bodies onto the Allianz Stadium.
