The path to becoming a football legend began with being ousted from Carrington by Manchester United.
Chapter 41 I only did it for Joe
Aguero's pass was aimed at Lin Yi, who had been running forward since the kickoff.
Lin Yi's situation was not easy at this moment; his unusual behavior had attracted the attention of Manchester United's defenders early on.
Ferdinand and Park Ji-sung never let up on their defense against Lin Yi, and when Aguero passed the ball, the two quickly closed in.
They sandwiched Lin Yi tightly in the middle like a sandwich.
Aguero's pass wasn't fast, which gave David de Gea enough time to react. The 20-year-old goalkeeper used his tall 192cm frame to constantly compress Lin Yi's shooting space by taking steps forward.
The football bounced halfway through its flight, and Lin Yi, Ferdinand, Park Ji-sung, and De Gea all rushed towards the second bounce point.
Ferdinand kept pressing Lin Yi with his shoulder, and the Korean started using dirty tricks with his hands. Park Ji-sung gently tugged at Lin Yi's jersey and then quickly let go, interfering with Lin Yi while not giving him the chance to imitate Rooney.
De Gea spread his arms to maximize his defensive coverage, lowered his center of gravity, and lunged head-on at the still-flying ball.
Martin Tyler involuntarily raised his voice: "Aguero returned the favor, passing the ball across the goalmouth through the crowd. Rio and Park are in good positions, can Lin get to the ball?"
Zhan Jun: "Lin Yi! Can you do it?"
McGuinness: "Impossible! Impossible!"
Balotelli had already started celebrating in the room, even though Lin Yi hadn't touched the ball at all.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, Lin Yi suddenly pushed off with his left foot, leaping into the air with his foot in front and his head behind.
Upon seeing this, Ferdinand immediately slid down and tackled.
Who will be the first to touch the football?
Lin Yi! As expected, Lin Yi is still faster.
Using a move reminiscent of the yellow hat from Dinosaur King, Lin Yi leaped into the Manchester United penalty area and kicked the ball past De Gea under his arm and into the goal.
Ferdinand, arriving too late, shoved Lin Yi's previously injured right ankle, causing the two to collide and fall in front of the door.
"Lingooooooooooooooooooal!"
"Beautiful! Lin Yi sent the ball into the Manchester United goal with a kung fu move!"
"You still say you don't know martial arts? I walked in and saw Chang Wei beating up Laifu!"
"Just one minute after Manchester United's goal, Manchester City unleashed their second lightning attack, responding with lightning speed!"
"This time it was Aguero's assist that led to Lin Yi's goal. The connection between Manchester City's two strikers resulted in two goals in quick succession. Tremble, Premier League defenders!"
After Lin Yi, who scored the goal, collided with Ferdinand, he didn't get up for a long time. Aguero, who was closest to him, quickly ran over to take the best spot to watch the game.
Aguero, peeking around like a thief, sized up Lin Yi lying on the ground while taunting, "Broken again? You're no good, rookie. No wonder they don't want you. How come you break so easily?"
Lin Yi pushed Ferdinand off him, sprang to his feet, and appeared in front of Aguero, staring at him without saying a word.
Aguero, feeling a little uneasy from the glare, rolled his eyes and pointed at Ferdinand, who had just gotten up, saying, "First of all, let me make it clear that I'm not one to start trouble, but that guy is obviously after your previous injury. You should hit him back, but if you hit him, you can't hit me!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi waved his right arm, and Aguero and Ferdinand simultaneously shrank their necks and closed their eyes.
Instead of the expected over-the-shoulder throw, Aguero secretly opened his eyes a crack and saw Lin Yi patting his face, smiling and saying, "My good son has grown up, he knows how to help his dad. I can spare your life, I was originally planning to sell you to the Myanmar league in the winter transfer window."
"Damn it!" Aguero slapped Lin Yi's hand away and said angrily, "Don't fucking get cocky, I only did it for Joe!"
The thrilling goal-fest that had fans on the edge of their seats ended with four goals at halftime.
Although Manchester United are behind in the score, they are playing at home and have a numerical advantage. As the game goes on, Manchester City's physical crisis will become more and more serious.
A second-half comeback is not impossible for Manchester United.
Ferguson's plan to rely on experienced players to stabilize the game and compete with Manchester City before the match, which ended in complete failure with a score of 1-3.
Having managed Manchester United for 25 years, he didn't care about empty titles or reputations, and very straightforwardly admitted his mistake by making a substitution.
During halftime, Ferguson substituted young player Welbeck for the underperforming Park Ji-sung, removing one defensive midfielder and switching to a three-striker formation.
In addition, he replaced the starting right-back Smalling with Valencia, who has a stronger attacking ability, and adopted a posture of all-out attack in the second half.
Mancini dared not make any rash moves. The team was already short-handed, and now they were down to one man. Manchester City players were likely to suffer from fatigue in the second half, so he had to save the remaining two substitutions for the end.
Against this backdrop, it's no surprise that Manchester United formed a pincer movement at the start of the second half, pressing Manchester City relentlessly in their own half.
Rooney, Nani, Berbatov, and Welbeck, who came on as a substitute in the second half, all had good shooting opportunities, but they were all saved by Manchester City's substitute goalkeeper Pantilimon, leaving Joe Hart with mixed feelings.
The intense attack lasted for nearly 15 minutes, and Manchester United's efforts ended in failure once again when Berbatov's shot from a tight angle was caught by Pantilimon.
Pantilimon was in no hurry to pass the ball, trying to delay as much as possible, until the referee Webb's patience was about to run out at the last moment before he kicked the ball long into the attacking third.
Perhaps due to the pressure of time, Pantilimon's long kick lacked power, and the ball went high but not far, starting to fall before even reaching the center circle.
Previously, Manchester City's clearances were all aimed at Lin Yi in the attacking third. Under the control of Ferdinand and Vidic, Manchester United almost always got the first ball.
By sheer chance, the ball landed in the area where Yaya Toure was, and the Ivorian's aerial ability was far superior to Lin Yi's. Manchester City finally managed to win a high ball.
After receiving a header pass from Toure, David Silva didn't stop the ball, but instead used a flat shot, a move often used by goalkeepers, to send the ball directly to Manchester United's left flank.
Aguero stretched out his leg to block the ball, successfully controlling it, and immediately began to cut inside diagonally.
After passing the ball, Silva made a high-speed run forward, ready to support Aguero at any moment.
Because Manchester United's right-back Valencia hadn't returned from his forward run, Manchester City created a 3-on-3 situation on the counter-attack.
Aguero deliberately slowed down, and with the outside of his right foot, he gently sliced the ball from top to bottom to ensure it didn't roll too far and remained under his control.
Meanwhile, Aguero's shoulders swayed constantly, his center of gravity shifting unpredictably, making it impossible to determine his true whereabouts.
Manchester United captain Vidic, who was defending head-on, had no choice but to fight back and retreat, not daring to rush in and tackle.
While they were waiting, David Silva arrived in a hurry, and Lin Yi also circled around to the far end, ready to go.
All eyes in the stadium were focused on Aguero's feet.
