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

It must be said that the Manchester City players are all incredibly honest and kind-hearted.

Faced with the once-in-a-century spectacle of Lin Yi riding Tevez and showing off, they simply lined up to watch, but no one took out their phone to film it, let alone posted it online.

This saved Tevez from social death.

Okay, actually no, Tevez is still dead.

He missed the following days of training due to physical discomfort. Soon after, Manchester City's official website announced that an agreement had been reached with Juventus, and Tevez officially transferred to the Old Lady for 1200 million euros.

Lin Yi lost his closest teammate since joining Manchester City, just as the incomparably brave Lu Bu lost his beloved Red Hare.

With deep regret, Lin Yi prepared to travel with the team to North America to participate in the 2011 World Soccer Challenge.

Manchester City will play three matches there against Club America, Vancouver Whitecaps, and Los Angeles Galaxy.

Whether they can establish themselves before the start of the new season will likely depend on these three warm-up matches.

Lin Yi shouldered his bag and left the dormitory at the Carrington training base, strolling towards the assembly point, ready to board Manchester City's luxury bus with his teammates to head to the airport.

Carrington training ground is so large that it can accommodate two Premier League teams and their youth teams training together.

Carrington can be quite small at times, so small that Sun Jihai once joked, "If the ball flies away, I have to go to Manchester United to retrieve it."

Today, Lin Yi encountered the very small Carrington training base.

"Hey! Lin Yi! Didn't I kick you out already?" Manchester United's youth academy director, Paul McGuinness, spotted Lin Yi and immediately shouted, "What are you trying to do here wearing a Manchester City kit?"

Seeing that there was no one else around, the old-fashioned British gentleman boldly declared: "The decline of the British Empire is because too many other races have infiltrated—Indians, blacks, and you yellow-skinned monkeys! Tell me honestly, what are you doing here? Stealing?"

Lin nodded: "I want to be your dad, so I can come in and steal your mom."

"Security! Security! Get this thief out of here!"

Security guards who arrived after hearing the news prepared to grab Lin Yi and throw him out.

Lin Yi delivered a series of clean and decisive punches and low kicks, knocking the two security guards to the ground. Raising his eyebrows, he asked, "Who authorized you to kick the Manchester City players out of Carrington? The UAE president or the British prime minister?"

McGuinness shouted as he backed away, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Even though Manchester City is a country bumpkin, a nouveau riche, and a loser who rose to power, they would never want this kind of trash player."

In his panicked retreat, McGuinness felt himself bump into a wall, and even more bizarrely, the wall could talk: "Who the hell are you calling a bumpkin?"

McGuinness turned around and blurted out, "Black...Mika Richards?"

Mika Richards is the youngest defender to ever play for the England national team. He is a product of Manchester City's youth academy and has a deep affection for the club.

He grabbed McGuinness by the neck, frowning as he asked, "Lin, who is this bastard?"

Lin Yi truthfully replied, "Literally, he is my grandson, and if you wish, he is your grandson too. He is the grandson of all of us."

McGuinness was furious but dared not speak out, trembling like a newborn quail in Richards' iron grip.

Fortunately, his other grandfather, Mancini, arrived in time.

"Enough, Mika, let him go." Mancini stopped Richards and turned to McGuinness, saying, "I will tell Sir Alex Ferguson everything that happened today. Please leave immediately and don't harass my players anymore."

McGuinness, who had narrowly escaped death, did not go far immediately. He hid in the shadows, watching Lin Yi board the Manchester City team bus with a gloomy look in his eyes, wondering what he was planning.

On the way, Richards recounted what had just happened.

In the past few days of training, Lin Yi has won over his teammates with his skills and is beginning to integrate into the team.

Therefore, Manchester City players inquired about the conflict between Lin Yi and McGuinness, which was not just out of gossip, but also out of concern.

After learning that Lin Yi had been kicked out of Carrington and almost ruined his career, Manchester City players offered words of comfort to their new teammate.

"Lin, we know your strength; that old man is blind."

"That's right, he's obviously no good. He's definitely doing this out of personal grudge and deliberately not renewing your contract."

"That's perfect! Come to Manchester City, and we'll crush Manchester United together!"

Manager Mancini also spoke up at this time: "Ling, if you want to get a chance to get revenge in the new season, show me your true ability in the upcoming preseason friendlies. You don't want to be on the bench or in the stands for the Manchester derby, do you? By the way, we're playing Manchester United in the Community Shield on the 7th of next month."

"Of course not, I want to personally squeeze the shit out of Manchester United," Lin Yi replied casually.

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Mancini returned to his seat with a frown. Where the players couldn't see him, Mancini looked worried, deep in thought but unable to find an answer.

"For Manchester United to just give up on a phenomenal young player like Lin Yi like that, how deep must their squad be? How much money must they have hidden away? Did they find oil under the Old Trafford pitch?"

Mancini's worries did not last long, and were quickly dispelled by a series of good news.

2011年7月17日，曼城2:0墨西哥美洲，林一为球队首开记录。

2011年7月19日，曼城2:1温哥华白浪，林一连续第二场比赛有进球入帐。

On July 25, 2011, Manchester City defeated Los Angeles Galaxy 3-1. Lin Yi scored a goal and also provided an assist for his teammate.

I initially thought he was a relative who was forced into the position by a wealthy boss, but I never expected him to be so talented at such a young age.

Mancini's joy at having such a wonderful woman fall from the sky was genuine.

Besides the team's improved strength, the most important thing is that he can finally get rid of that brainless center who can't fit into training clothes and just sets fire to the house for fun.

On the same day that Manchester City returned to Manchester after their North American training camp, the club officially announced the signing of Aguero.

The two sides signed a five-year contract with a transfer fee of £3800 million, approximately €4446 million, making Aguero the most expensive signing in Manchester City's history.

In the new season, Aguero will wear the number 16 jersey, forming Manchester City's attacking line together with new signing Lin Yi (number 9), Dzeko (number 10) who transferred from Wolfsburg during last season's winter break, and of course Balotelli (number 45), whom Mancini doesn't like.

Manchester City then held a press conference for their new signings this season: Aguero, Nasri, Clichy, Hargreaves, and 18-year-old Lin Yi, and arranged an unveiling ceremony for them at the newly renamed Etihad Stadium.

The press conference was initially in a pleasant atmosphere until a question from a local reporter came up.

"Mr. Mancini, sources have revealed that Lin Yi simply does not have the ability to play in the Premier League, and he still hasn't obtained a work permit. Rumors suggest that his transfer to Manchester City was a backroom deal. Does the club disregard the FA, ignore the feelings of Manchester City fans, and tarnish the century-old sport of football with such a transaction?"
