By the time Aguero got up from the ground and wanted to cause trouble for his opponent, Joey Barton had already run down to the stands to enjoy the cheers and applause of more than 10,000 home fans at Loftus Road Stadium.

Not only did he fail to avenge Silva, but he also caused the opponent to score a goal because of his own actions. Aguero was so angry that he was fuming, and the breath he exhaled from his nose could even cook an egg.

Just as Aguero was sulking, Lin Yi walked over with a serious expression and heavy steps.

Aguero could guess with his eyes closed that the foul-mouthed Lin Yi wouldn't let this opportunity to ridicule him slip by. Frustrated by what had just happened, which he himself couldn't forgive, he resigned himself to his fate and lay down: "Say whatever you want, I admit defeat this time!"

However, Lin Yi's reaction surprised Aguero. Instead of mocking him as usual, he simply said, "Take a few steps."

"What?" Aguero wondered if he had misheard.

Lin Yi snapped impatiently, "Are you fucking deaf? I said, if you're not sick, walk around a bit!"

Aguero didn't understand what Lin Yi was up to, and almost subconsciously followed Lin Yi's instructions, starting to walk in circles around him.

Faced with Lin Yi's unpredictable behavior, Aguero stared at him in astonishment as he circled around him, to the point that he even walked with his feet in opposite directions.

Lin Yi didn't explain, but nodded slightly without being noticed and left.

The remaining clueless Aguero kept circling around.

Joe Hart, who had just conceded a goal, was in a terrible mood. Seeing Aguero's stupid behavior, he rushed out of the penalty area without saying a word and slapped Aguero hard on the head.

"What the hell are you doing, grinding grain?"

Seeing that the other person was still looking like a dazed fool with a face full of confusion and bewilderment, Joe Hart was furious and yelled, "You idiot, hurry up and score a goal to equalize the score, or I'll twist your head off when we get back."

"Oh, oh, oh." Aguero was finally snapped out of his daze by Joe Hart's scolding and stopped his foolish behavior.

As Aguero stood in the center circle, ready to tee off against Lin Yi, he realized what was going on and angrily accused Lin Yi: "What the hell are you up to? Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?"

Lin Yi remained calm, not directly answering Aguero's question, but instead issuing an order: "Get to the right flank, don't stay in the middle."

"Why should I? I promised Joe I'd score a goal."

"Stop talking nonsense, give the mid lane to Yaya, you can go play somewhere else!" After saying that, Lin Yi ignored Aguero and shouted to Yaya Toure in the distance, "We're behind in the score, let this idiot on the other side give up his position, how about you step in?"

Touré had originally planned to move his position forward as well, but upon hearing Lin Yi's suggestion, he nodded decisively.

Two fists can't fight four hands. Seeing that the two of them said so, Aguero could only run to the right wing to hang out with Nasri after the kickoff, giving up his central position to Yaya Toure.

This positional adjustment yielded good results. By avoiding the opponent's meat grinder-like mid-lane area, Aguero thrived on the right flank, frequently creating threats.

In the 52nd minute of the second half, Nasri and Aguero played a one-two pass on the right side of the penalty area, successfully getting past Queens Park Rangers left-back Traore.

Nasri received the ball and passed it back in a triangular fashion, but Toure's follow-up shot went slightly wide.

Just three minutes later, in the same spot, Aguero feigned to pass the ball to Nasri, but took advantage of Traore's distraction to dribble past him and then shoot from a tight angle. The ball was caught by the home team's goalkeeper, Kenny.

In the 61st minute, Toure received a pass back from Lin Yi. This time, instead of attacking down the right flank, he passed the ball to Milner on the left. After passing the ball, Toure himself moved closer to Milner.

This move lured Queens Park Rangers to move to that side, and Touré immediately reached out to make a call. Milner passed the ball back to Touré, who then immediately made a long pass to Aguero's right side.

Nasri received the ball and flicked it with his left foot, sending it directly behind the opposing left-back Traore.

Aguero had already started his run, receiving Nasri's pass near the byline. He looked up to observe his teammates' positions and immediately crossed the ball.

Lin Yi jumped at the near post in the penalty area, feinting a shot that successfully drew the attention of the two opposing center-backs. Aguero's pass flew over the heads of several players and landed at the far post. Milner, following up, volleyed the ball before it hit the ground, but unfortunately, he couldn't get a clean shot off, and the ball was sent flying into the stands.

After creating several threatening attacks, Aguero felt he was just one step away from scoring, and he gradually forgot Lin Yi's warning not to go to the middle.

On the other hand, Queens Park Rangers' goal scorer, Joey Barton, looked grim and glared menacingly.

As the match approached the 70th minute, the trailing Manchester City launched a siege. Milner and Nasri retreated to the center, passing the ball around Yaya Toure in front of the opponent's penalty area, while Lin Yi constantly ran laterally in front of them, trying to create passing lanes.

At this point, under the direction of head coach Neil Warnock, almost the entire Queens Park Rangers team was involved in defense.

The penalty area was packed with the home team's defenders. No matter how hard Lin Yi tried to pull the ball away, it was difficult for Toure and others to find an opportunity to pass the ball to him and deliver a fatal blow.

Having already planned this, Aguero, seeing the ball constantly moving in the middle, secretly began his operation.

He circled around behind the opposing defender into the penalty area, but because he was in an offside position, Aguero's run did not attract much attention from the home team's defenders.

Only a pair of sinister eyes remained fixed on him, but Aguero did not notice.

Taking advantage of Lin Yi's run to the far end, which caused the opposing defenders to move with him, Aguero suddenly made a run back and burst out from behind the defense.

"Samir!" Aguero called out to Nasri, who had the ball.

The moment he finished speaking, Nasri's pass arrived.

Aguero received the ball with his back to goal on the edge of the penalty area. Before receiving the ball, he made a feint by lowering his shoulder to the left, and then used the outside of his right foot to guide the ball to the right side of his body, turning his body to prepare for a shot.

Little did anyone know that Joey Barton had seen everything. With a ferocious smile on his face, the Premier League's greatest villain took a step closer to Aguero, who had just turned around, and concentrated all his strength on his right foot, stomping heavily on the instep of Aguero's supporting foot!

Aguero felt a sharp pain in the back of his foot, as if it had been run over by a road roller. His body collapsed to the ground like a tree amidst the roar of the logging machine.

Lying on the grass, the pained Aguero caught a glimpse of a figure rushing toward Joey Barton, who had fouled him. The number 9 printed on his shorts told Aguero who the man was.

Ignoring the pain in his body, Aguero gritted his teeth and, taking advantage of the man passing by, grabbed his leg with all his might and tripped Lin Yi, throwing him to the ground.

Aguero laboriously crawled to Lin Yi's side and pressed down on his right arm to prevent him from getting up.

"I know what you're going to do, Lin, don't go! You can't go! I can't take it! You have to stay on the field! I don't want to lose to that bastard!"

"I know you don't like me, but let's do it for David's sake, okay?"

"Please! Don't let them win!"

"Just one more goal! You can do it! You absolutely can! Score one! Just one!"

"Please! I don't want to lose!"
