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

"Look at how you dribble the ball! You're not even as good as my grandma!"

"No wonder Manchester United didn't want you; someone that tall can't win headers?"

"Stop running like an idiot! We know you're fast, you were offside, weren't you? You moron!"

The voice echoing on the training field was not that of head coach Mancini, but rather Aguero's merciless criticism and mockery of Lin Yi.

Aguero, who just joined the Premier League, doesn't speak English very fluently. Apart from players like David Silva, whose native language is Spanish, only Lin Yi, a foreigner who once wandered around Europe, can communicate with him normally.

Given that Lin Yi has recently been seen frequently with Emma Watson, and has been photographed by the media often, it is understandable.

Taunting Lin Yi during training became Aguero's favorite daily activity.

During a set-piece practice session, Lin Yi once again missed a perfect landing point, and Aguero's voice rang out again: "My God, did you jump as high as a frog just now?"

"A gentleman uses words, not fists! Holy crap!"

Lin Yi executed a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw, bringing Aguero to the ground. The screams of pain echoed throughout the Carrington base.

The Manchester City players around them, including the coaching staff, were all used to it.

At first, everyone was worried that if the two got into a fight, Lin Yi, who was tall, strong, and knew how to break apart, might kill Aguero, and Manchester City's £3800 million investment might go down the drain.

Later, everyone gradually got used to this scene and witnessed Lin's skill in knowing when to stop.

Aguero was trash-talking, Lin Yi intervened, Aguero screamed in pain, but after a while the pain subsided he continued trash-talking, and Lin Yi intervened again.

This has become a regular part of Manchester City's training routine.

In this endless cycle, time quickly came to August, and today was Manchester City's last training session before the new season.

To show the importance he placed on the first game of the new season, head coach Mancini gathered everyone together after training and announced the starting lineup in public.

Facing a weaker opponent like Swansea, Mancini deployed a 4-3-3 attacking formation, determined to secure a winning start at home.

"David, be more flexible in your positioning and connect the midfield and attack effectively." When announcing the starting strikers, Mancini's speech slowed noticeably, and his tone became more serious. Looking at the two players glaring at each other in the line, Mancini said earnestly, "Sercio, Lin, can you two cooperate well tomorrow?"

Aguero, head held high, said, "Coach, I'm fine. It's just that some people's technique is too rough, and they might not be able to keep up with my pace."

Lin Yi replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Mancini, when some dwarfs get crushed by those musclemen from Swansea, I'll step up and solve the problem."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Mancini slapped his forehead in annoyance and immediately announced the disbandment.

Swansea finished third in the Championship last season. They beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 on aggregate in the play-off semi-finals and then defeated Reading 4-2 in the final to secure promotion to the Premier League.

Facing a star-studded Manchester City side determined to win the title this season, they could only hope not to suffer a humiliating defeat away from home.

Unfortunately, in competitive sports, being bad is the original sin.

Even though the entire Swansea team united and set up a solid defensive formation, they only managed to hold out for 9 minutes.

Amid the cheers of 55000 fans at the Etihad Stadium, Aguero, who received a pass from David Silva to open the scoring for his team, roared excitedly at Lin Yi.

"See that?! That's real skill! Kneel down and look up to me, you newbie!"

Ten minutes later, Lin Yi unleashed a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, piercing the away team's goal and extending his team's lead to 2-0.

He calmly high-fived each of his teammates in celebration, but when it was Aguero's turn, Lin Yi politely withdrew his hand, leaving with the comment: "Remember how naive you looked just now?"

"What the hell are you pretending to be so aloof for? You just blundered into a goal and you're not even celebrating properly? Your next goal probably won't be for months!"

"Haha, that's hilarious! The football king's son-in-law scoring a goal is like winning the lottery, what a bumpkin!"

"Idiot, playing against such a lousy team, scoring goals is as easy for me as drinking water."

"What a coincidence, it's easier for me to score against Swansea than to take you down."

Swansea center-back Caulker is from Uruguay in South America, and Spanish happens to be the official language. He understood the conversation between Lin Yi and Aguero.

His gaze involuntarily swept over the two men's knees, ankles, Achilles tendons, and other areas, hesitating whether to break his leg or crush his foot.

Outsiders are unaware of what happened on the scene. Premier League commentator Martin Tyler commented: "Manchester City's two new strikers who joined this season have developed a great chemistry. Aguero and Lin Yi each scored a goal and showed good form. They were also whispering to each other during the game, which I think must have been a discussion of tactics. There must be a deep bond between the two."

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Swansea's defense was bewildered by the frequent positional changes of David Silva and Aguero.

Aguero, who switched to the left wing, used a feint to shift the defender's weight and then smoothly cut inside with his right foot.

Facing a defender rushing to cover, Aguero feinted a shot and then dribbled past the defender with his right foot, once again slipping past the opponent's defense.

Just as he was about to shoot, Caulker, who was watching closely from the side, made a flying tackle from Aguero's left blind spot, his left foot touching the ball while his right foot followed up, flipping Aguero over.

The referee held his whistle in his mouth, hesitating whether to call a foul on the defending team.

Just then, Lin Yi flashed past and unleashed a powerful shot at the ball that Caulker had cleared. The ball flew straight into the top corner of the goal, leaving Swansea goalkeeper Vorm helpless. Lin Yi scored his second goal of the match.

Out of concern for his teammate, Lin Yi did not celebrate after scoring. He immediately ran to Aguero, who was lying on the ground, bent down to check on him, and then waved to the team doctor who was rushing over from the sidelines.

"Go back, go back! This idiot's season is over, just call an ambulance and send him to the morgue."

Aguero, wincing in pain, managed to spit out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Shut your jinx! I'm perfectly fine!"

To prove himself, Aguero endured the excruciating pain in his ankle and struggled to his feet.

"My body is as tough as Iron Man; that last bit was just a tickle."

Martin Tyler, with the same smug look I expected, said in the live broadcast: "See? Just as I said, the friendship between Lin and Aguero is so deep that Lin didn't forget to check on Aguero's injury after scoring a goal."

Seeing that Aguero was able to stand up, Lin Yi pouted in disappointment and said to Caulker, who was shoveling the shovel, "Didn't you eat?"

After receiving a second yellow card from the referee, Caulker had only one thought in his mind: "This industry is too chaotic. Give me the ball, I want to go home for dinner."
