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

Compared to Dida, who was fighting with his back against the wall, Gerrard was clearly preoccupied.

"I don't want to die!" Dida roared and leaped into the air.

As expected, Dida made a brilliant save to deny the Liverpool captain's penalty.

With their backs against the wall, Dida finally helped AC Milan narrowly defeat Liverpool at the last moment and win the 2004-05 UEFA Champions League title.

Liverpool's desperate second-half comeback ultimately proved futile.

The one who started all of this was none other than Lin Yi, who had intruded into the situation.

He didn't care whether Gerald, who was crying bitterly, was alive or dead, and happily accepted his reward.

"The 'Beginner Dungeon: Redemption of Istanbul' has been completed. The host has completed the mission on Nightmare difficulty and will receive the ultimate reward (the beginner dungeon reward level will be automatically upgraded)."

"Congratulations, host. You have obtained three attributes of AC Milan player Shevchenko: shooting, speed, and balance. Your personal attribute panel is now open."

"Lin Yi, 18 years old, 187cm tall, 83kg."

Technical Attributes: Shooting (S+), Positioning (B+), Ball Control (B+), Dribbling (B), Heading (C+), Passing (C), Vision (C), Set Pieces (A), Marking (C-), Tackling (D+)

Physical Attributes: Explosiveness (A-), Speed ​​(S), Strength (B), Combat (A-), Balance (A+), Agility (A-), Stamina (B+), Jumping Power (C+), Flexibility (A-), Injury Proneness (A)

"Psychological Attributes: Decision-making (B+), Composure (A-), Willpower (B+), Competition Performance (B), Aggression (A), Teamwork (B+), Leadership (C), Adaptability (C+), Creativity (A-), Professionalism (B+)"

"The host's shooting, speed, and balance attributes have been upgraded to S+, S, and A+, respectively, based on Shevchenko's performance. As a result, the host's set-piece, decision-making, explosiveness, agility, and physical strength attributes have been slightly improved."

"The beginner dungeon is about to end, please prepare."

Lin Yi pushed away the AC Milan players who were celebrating his championship victory around him, and prepared to return to his own world.

"Hehe, Tevez, I'm back!"

Another flash of white light, and Lin Yi returned to his own world.

On the Manchester City training ground, Tevez was still mocking Lin Yi, and the other players looked at Lin Yi with a more indifferent gaze.

No matter where you are, you cannot earn the respect of others without strength, especially in a football world dominated by whites and blacks.

The status of Asian players like Son Heung-min, Shinji Kagawa, and Keisuke Honda was earned through their own hard work and talent.

No matter how large China's population or market is, without its own strength to support it, at best it can only be used as a mascot.

Yao Ming could compete for the title of best center in the Western Conference, while some players could only sit on the bench and wait for a championship ring.

Lin Yi certainly doesn't want to one day have domestic media reports like, "Lin Yi scores a hat-trick, Manchester City wins big!"

When the picture was released, it turned out that he was wearing a baseball cap and sitting in the stands.

Lin Yi's previous performance of being outmaneuvered by Kompany made his teammates seriously doubt his abilities.

In the following games, Yaya Touré, Nasri, and others stopped passing the ball to Lin Yi as often, choosing instead to ignore him and solve the problems themselves.

Tevez's home team has De Jong and Kompany anchoring the midfield and defense, but is missing Lin Yi in their attacking system. It will be difficult for them to deal with these two defensive stalwarts when they are outnumbered.

The home team quickly gained the upper hand, with Tevez being very active in the attacking third, and it seemed only a matter of time before he scored.

Without the support of his teammates, Lin Yi seemed to have few options on the front line; he didn't yet possess the ability to single-handedly break through the opponent's entire defense.

Out of desperation, Lin Yi decided to expand his running range to see if he could find an opportunity to pick up a loose piece of trash.

About 10 minutes into the game, Tevez found an opportunity to shoot, unleashing a low shot from the edge of the penalty area. Unfortunately, the shot was too straight and was easily caught by substitute goalkeeper Pantilimon.

Pantilimon planned to take advantage of this opportunity to launch a quick counterattack. He threw the ball with great force, aiming at Nasri on the right wing.

Nasri understood immediately and accelerated towards the landing point.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar figure flashed before his eyes. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Lin Yi, who had retreated on his own initiative.

He was like a roaring sports car, almost instantly seizing the landing point, leaving Nasri with no choice but to continue his flank maneuvering.

Lin Yi unloaded the ball, turned around decisively on the spot, and headed diagonally towards the goal.

Seeing Lin Yi preparing to accelerate, De Jong, unaware of Lin Yi's intentions, made a sliding tackle to the side, intending to keep both Lin Yi and the ball in place.

However, he underestimated Lin Yi's S-level speed and A-level explosive power. As soon as Lin Yi turned around, he instantly increased his speed to the maximum.

De Jong's tackle was a beat too slow, and it slipped past Lin Yi from behind.

Having dodged the opponent's defensive midfielder's tackle, Lin Yi was now only facing two center-backs.

Kompany, who had just faced Nasri, instructed his teammates to keep a close eye on Nasri, who was making a run down the flank.

He believed that what he had just done was enough to make the newcomer realize the difference in their abilities.

Unless the opponent is an idiot, they won't act recklessly; Lin Yi will most likely choose to pass the ball.

Therefore, Kompany himself did not rush to intercept, but turned his body to the side and slowly retreated, ready to intercept Lin Yi's passing lane at any time.

Seeing Kompany's actions, Lin Yi slowed down, which seemed to those around him as a sign that he was about to make his final decision.

Yaya Touré also believes that in this situation, Lin Yi can only pass the ball out.

To avoid being dispossessed by the poised Kompany, Toure sprinted forward, shouting as he ran, "Hey kid, pass it back to me!"

Toure's shout attracted De Jong, who was chasing back. Without hesitation, De Jong immediately changed lanes to guard against Yaya Toure's forward run.

In that instant, a defensive vacuum was created around Lin Yi, and the opposing team focused their defense on his teammates, ignoring Lin Yi who was dribbling the ball.

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."

"Even Heaven grows old if it has feelings; let's give Hart a kick!"

Lin Yi sidestepped, quickly followed up with his left foot, and swung his leg in a wide arc to deliver a powerful kick.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart was highly focused and was ready to make a save as soon as he saw Lin swing his leg.

However, all of this seemed so futile in the face of Lin Yi's meteoric rise. Joe Hart was still pushing off the ground, preparing to exert his strength, when the football had already flown into the net.

The goal seemed to silence the entire training ground.

Joe Hart stared blankly at the ball, and the players stared blankly at Lin Yi.

The assistant coach, who was acting as the referee, stood there dumbfounded, his mouth agape, not even noticing that the whistle he was holding had slipped from his mouth.

Only the sound of the football bouncing inside the goal was clearly audible, seemingly reminding the people at the scene that everything that had just happened was real.

Lin Yi used a stunning world-class goal to announce his triumphant return from the dungeon.

Tevez couldn't believe his eyes and couldn't accept the fact that the opponent had scored first.

Thanks to Lin Yi's kind reminder, he realized that he was currently trailing by one goal.

Lin walked up to Tevez with a grin, making a "1" with his left hand and a "0" with his right.

It is worth noting that Lin Yi used his middle finger, not his index finger, to make the number "1" with his left hand.
