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

"The temporary instance: The perfect end and redemption quest of a master has been opened. Time in this world has stopped."

"The 2006 World Cup final should have been the perfect farewell for a midfield maestro like Zinedine Zidane. However, he was sent off with a red card in the 110th minute of extra time, leaving behind only a dejected figure as he missed out on the World Cup trophy. In the end, Italy defeated France in a penalty shootout to win their fourth World Cup title."

"For Zidane's fans, the fact that the maestro's career ended in this way is a regret for countless people, including himself."

"Please redeem Zidane and help the French team defeat Italy to win the 18th World Cup."

Please select the dungeon difficulty.

"Normal Difficulty: Possessing the enemy faction will grant you a guaranteed reward."

Nightmare Difficulty: Possessing a member of your own faction will grant you advanced rewards.

"Hell difficulty: Randomly possessing your own faction will grant you the ultimate reward."

Under Pellegrini's new tactical system, Lin Yi felt that his technical characteristics were still too one-dimensional.

Although Lin Yi had been trying his best to make up for his weaknesses in regular training, the accumulation of training could not compare to the speed of a cheat code.

The cheat is something that makes whoever uses it happy, and the more they use it, the happier they are. Although Lin Yi still doesn't understand the frequency and timing of the dungeon appearances, he should seize the opportunity now that it has come.

Moreover, with the crucial match against Bayern Munich for qualification looming, Lin Yi chose the "hell difficulty" option under such pressure.

"Selection complete. Relevant memories, appearance, and character relationships have been implanted. The instance will open in 10 seconds. Please prepare."

A flash of white light appeared, and Lin Yi, dressed in a French national team jersey, appeared on the sidelines of the Berlin Olympic Stadium. Since he entered randomly, Lin Yi did not yet know who he was possessing.

Having already experienced this once, Lin Yi first observed the scoreboard. At this point, the game had reached 100 minutes, and there were still about 10 minutes left before Zidane's iconic headbutt on Materazzi.

Lin Yi then looked around and noticed that the fourth official standing next to him was holding up a sign indicating a change of personnel.

A player wearing a white jersey with the number 22 on the French national team staggered toward Lin Yi.

Upon closer inspection, a prominent scar on the man's face revealed his identity; he was none other than Ribery, the scarred warrior Lin Yi was about to face in the Champions League.

"David, it's up to you! Good luck!" Ribery gave Lin a high-five and a hug, offering encouragement before reluctantly heading to the bench, exhausted.

The first thing Lin Yi did as he ran onto the field was to look back at the sign in the fourth official's hand, which showed that number 22 Frank Ribery was off the field and number 20 David Trezeguet was on the field.

"So it was him." Lin Yi understood. In this instance, he had randomly possessed the body of French striker Trezeguet.

This was a key player in France's European Championship victory six years ago. In that match, Trezeguet also came on as a substitute. In the 103rd minute of extra time, he received a cutback pass from Pires after a breakthrough on the left wing and volleyed a powerful shot with his left foot, sealing the victory with a golden goal.

Ultimately, thanks to Wiltord's equalizer in the 93rd minute of regular time and Trezeguet's golden goal, France came from behind to defeat Italy 2-1 and win the Henri Delaunay Trophy.

French coach Domenech brought on Trezeguet at this point, perhaps hoping to replicate the good fortune of six years ago, especially since the opponent was none other than the Italian national team.

Unfortunately, in the original script, it was Trezeguet's penalty kick that hit the crossbar, causing France to lose to Italy in the penalty shootout, leaving an indelible regret for the farewell performance of the legendary Zidane.

Lin Yi had just come on as a substitute when the French team almost killed the game.

Zidane drew four Italian players in the middle, cleverly passed the ball to Sagnol on the right, and then charged into the penalty area, heading the ball into the goal unmarked from Sagnol's cross.

This powerful header was brilliantly saved by Buffon, who tipped it over the crossbar with one hand.

Lin Yi watched the incredible performance from the spot closest to Zidane. The reason he was in this position was that from the moment he stepped onto the field, he was determined to become Zidane's bodyguard for the next 10 minutes, keeping a close eye on the situation and making sure history didn't repeat itself.

Most people, including Lin Yi, believe that if Zidane hadn't been sent off with a red card, France would likely have won the match.

It was Zidane's departure that dampened the French team's morale, ultimately leading to a narrow penalty shootout defeat to their old rivals, Italy.

The time quickly came to the 108th minute, and the French team made another substitution, with Wiltord replacing Henry, who had been knocked unconscious by Cannavaro shortly after the start of the game.

After the substitution, France's attack failed. Zidane wanted to go back to defend immediately, but Materazzi still clung tightly to Zidane's jersey after the referee stopped the game.

"If you want my jersey so badly, I'll give it to you after the game," Zidane said, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Materazzi immediately retorted, "I prefer your sister to your jersey."

Zidane had already run away, but upon hearing this, the midfield maestro flew into a rage. He immediately turned around and headbutted Materazzi in the chest.

"Let me handle this!" Lin Yi, who had been observing from the shadows, suddenly appeared from the side and used a flying kick similar to that in Double Dragon to land a kick on Materazzi's face, taking the initiative to knock Materazzi away.

Zidane's header missed completely, and he almost fell flat on his face.

Having finally regained his footing, Zidane looked at Materazzi lying on the ground with his face covered in blood, and his anger vanished instantly.

"David, are you crazy? You've only just come on."

Lin Yi gripped Zidane's shoulders with both hands and said emotionally, "France can live without David Trezeguet, but it cannot live without Zinedine Zidane!"

"But..." Zidane, his eyes brimming with tears, couldn't help but voice his concerns, "You shouldn't have acted so impulsively. With one less player, I wasn't confident of victory! I was afraid of letting you down, brother!"

"I, Trezeguet, am willing to be Zidane's loyal hound for life!"

"I, Trezeguet, am actually a complete scumbag. Last night, I couldn't stand the loneliness and went to the red-light district. I slept with ten women, and now my legs are weak. I don't have the courage to take the penalty kick at all."

"And don't worry, I, Trezeguet, never leave anyone alive under my feet. That bastard's nose is definitely broken, he's 100% done for. Italy has already used up all three substitutions, you're still 10 against 10."

"No need to thank me, thank that scumbag Trezeguet!"

After confirming with the linesman, the referee pulled out the red card that had once broken the hearts of fans around the world from his pocket. However, this time, it wasn't Zidane who was sent off, but Trezeguet, the scum who had been possessed by Lin Yi.

After 120 minutes, when Zidane stepped up to take the first penalty and scored the second penalty of the match, piercing Buffon's defenses, the balance of the game completely shifted.

Trezeguet, who missed his penalty in the original timeline, was sent off, while Materazzi, who had scored Italy's second penalty, was carried off on a stretcher. The high-spirited French team defeated Italy 5-3 in the penalty shootout.

As captain, Zidane was the first to stand on the podium. The image was frozen on the moment he raised the World Cup trophy, marking the perfect end to the legendary 17-year career of this master.
