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

The first half ended uneventfully with a score of 1-1.

Although Robben saw Lin Yi's goal as a provocation, and he was exceptionally active for the remainder of the first half, the rest of Bayern's players were relaxed, and the lone Flying Dutchman ultimately failed to make any significant impact.

"That was amazing! Luckily I braked in time, otherwise I might have run right into your path and ruined such a brilliant goal." Milner excitedly pulled Lin Yi along, walking towards the locker room while enthusiastically recounting Lin Yi's solo goal in the first half.

Lin Yixin said with lingering fear, "Thank goodness it was you, James. If it had been that short mule, he would have stupidly run headfirst into my arms."

"Hahaha!"

The two chatted and laughed, while Aguero in the stands sneezed several times in a row.

Just as Lin Yi and Milner were laughing and joking, Robben suddenly jumped out from somewhere and blocked Lin Yi's way.

With a serious expression, he clenched his fist and said to Lin Yi, "Kid! I accept your challenge! Let's settle this in the second half!"

In fact, whether it was a provocation or a challenge, it was all a plot that Robben had made up in his own mind. Lin Yi was unaware that Coach Robben had arranged so many scenes for him.

Blocked by Robben, Lin Yi and Milner exchanged bewildered glances and asked each other in unison, "You know him? He's your friend?"

The two shook their heads simultaneously, then turned their gazes to Robben. After a moment of silence, they tacitly moved to the left and right, bypassing Robben, and continued on their way.

"Damn it! They're ignoring my existence!" Robben felt his inner universe surging so powerfully that it could destroy the entire Etihad.

Especially when he heard Lin Yi whisper to Milner beside him, "Did that idiot watch too much Japanese anime and lose his mind?"

This explosive emotion reached its peak, and Robben wished he could drag the referee back from the locker room and start the second half right now.

Back in the locker room, I saw my teammates looking incredibly relaxed. No one seemed to care about the outcome of the game; instead, they were discussing their vacation plans and figuring out which place would be the most enjoyable to go on holiday.

Robben was furious, but unfortunately he wasn't exactly popular in Bayern's locker room, and nobody noticed him sitting there sulking.

At halftime, Robben suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted, "Come on!"

He walked out of the locker room alone, leaving a room full of Bayern players completely bewildered.

Captain Ram asked curiously, "What's wrong with Aryan?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison, their bewildered expressions reminiscent of Lin Yi and Milner not long ago.

The second half began with the home team, Manchester City, kicking off. According to Pellegrini's instructions during halftime, they planned to launch a surprise attack.

This was a sudden idea from Pellegrini after he was pleasantly surprised to discover that Lin Yi had the ability to dribble and break through defenses. He arranged for the ball to be handed over to Yaya Touré after the whistle was blown, and Lin Yi and Milner quickly switched positions.

This will create comfortable opportunities for Lin Yi to receive the ball on the wing, while left-back Clichy will overlap with Lin Yi and be ready to receive the pass.

Everything was going very smoothly. Milner moved towards the center, and Clichy made a high-speed run forward, which made Bayern's right-back Rafinha hesitant to make any rash moves. Lin Yi successfully received Toure's long pass.

Just as Lin Yi was observing the situation and preparing to dribble along the inside line, someone suddenly rushed out from behind at high speed and knocked Lin Yi to the ground, turning Manchester City's carefully designed scheme into a harmless free kick.

Lin Yi rolled twice to completely dissipate the impact of the other party. The one who hit him was none other than the spirited Robben.

"I told you, the second half is where we'll settle this once and for all! Come on, kid!"

Seeing that the other party not only did not apologize after committing the foul, but also arrogantly provoked Lin Yi, Milner, who was not far away, rolled up his sleeves and rushed over without saying a word.

He shoved Robben aside and yelled, "Are you fucking crazy? I'll just ignore you, is this never going to end? If you keep babbling, I'll twist your head off!"

Milner's eyes flashed with malice as he approached Robben step by step.

Lin Yi grabbed Milner and whispered in his ear, "James, be careful, psychopaths can kill without consequence!"

Milner immediately stopped and turned to look at Lin Yi.

"real?"

"real!"

Milner began to back away, shouting, "Where's Philip? Control your men! What the hell are they doing?"

Robben watched Milner retreat and spat disdainfully.

"Pah! Coward!"

His gaze then turned to Lin Yi, who was standing still, and the light in his eyes became intense.

"I admire you! You have the courage to face me! You're better than that coward."

Lin Yi couldn't help but smile.

"interesting."

Manchester City didn't linger after their initial attack failed, as they only needed a draw to advance to the knockout stage.

The pace of the game slowed down again, with most of the passes being lateral or back passes, and there were not many attempts to penetrate deep into the opponent's territory.

The match reached the 60th minute, and it was Bayern Munich's turn to attack.

Toni Kroos patiently passed the ball around in the defensive midfield position, his idea being to continue controlling the tempo and not to rush into deeper play.

However, Robben was anxiously reaching for the ball in the attacking third, repeatedly calling out Kroos's name.

Considering that the opponent seemed to be in a bad mood during halftime, Kroos, although he didn't want to know what had happened, decided to grant his wish since they were teammates after all.

After receiving a pass from his teammate, Kroos delivered a diagonal through ball, accurately placing it at Robben's feet.

The moment Robben received the pass, he felt every pore on his body open up, as if he were soaking in a hot spring. Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately began his solo performance.

Robben received the ball and simultaneously pulled it back and turned on the spot, subtly avoiding Manchester City's left-back Clichy's challenge.

He then unleashed his signature inside cut again, flicking the ball with the outside of his left foot at an incredibly fast pace, leaving Lescott, who was defending him directly, unable to tell which move was real and which was feint.

Sensing the opponent's hesitation, Robben subtly increased the force of his pass, moving the ball away from his body while also shaking off Lescott.

Robben had been dribbling with small, quick steps, and his footwork was noticeably faster than Lescott's.

Without a doubt, Robben was the first to catch up with the ball; at least that's what most people think, including Robben himself.

However, just as Robben was about to catch up with the ball and prepare to shoot,

A tall, slender figure suddenly appeared between him and the football. Robben, who was running at high speed, collided with the opponent's back, lost his balance, and fell backward.

"Not only do I dare to face you head-on, I can also steal the ball with my back to you. What can you do about it?"

Lin Yi casually tossed out a sentence, ignoring Robben who was still lying on the ground, and followed the Manchester City team on their counterattack.
