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

While everyone else was filled with worry, Lin Yi's cheerful demeanor stood out all day.

While he was out of the locker room, his teammates started gossiping, and they couldn't think of anyone other than Aguero as the culprit.

"Do you think Lin Tiantian is heartless or has she simply given up on the Champions League?"

David Silva also had his doubts: "Lin doesn't seem like the type to give up easily, but I don't think he's heartless and doesn't think about anything either."

Aguero pressed further, "Then why do you think it is?"

Silva shook his head: "I can't explain it either."

"I think that's just Lin's personality," Milner joined the discussion. "As long as you don't mess with him, he always acts like he doesn't care. Nobody at Barcelona messes with him."

Captain Kompany retorted, "How come no one provoked him? Barça doesn't play dirty tricks. Would I have been sent off?"

"Even if your red card was innocent, Barcelona was targeting you, Vincent, what does it have to do with Lin?" Milner disagreed with his boss's opinion.

Kompany confidently stated, "Offending me is the same as offending Lin. We're brothers in arms."

"Whoa!" A chorus of boos erupted from the surrounding area.

"Mario, you and Lin are good friends, tell me why?" Yaya Touré directly called on Balotelli by name.

Balotelli suddenly jumped onto the table, raised his right fist high, instantly attracting a crowd of onlookers.

"Lin, you're awesome!"

"Lin, invincible!"

"Lin, the strongest in the universe!"

Everyone thought Balotelli was going to offer some unique insights, but it turned out he was just bragging about his friend.

"What the hell are you guys doing? Are you trying to join some evil organization?" Lin Yi pushed open the door and saw a group of grown men shirtless and wearing only underwear, gathered around the long table in the locker room.

The sight on the table was even more dazzling to Lin Yi: Balotelli was jumping around naked.

Lin Yi was genuinely startled by this scene and asked tremblingly, "Did I come at the wrong time?"

"No! You've come at the perfect time!"

Before he could finish speaking, Aguero reacted swiftly, grabbing Lin Yi who was about to turn and run away, and together with the help of the others, pinning him firmly to his seat.

"Emma! I'm so sorry! Wearing it doesn't count as giving it away, this is the only bottom line I can hold on to!" Lin Yi closed her eyes in despair, lamenting her impending loss of chastity in her heart.

Aguero was the first to ask: "Tell me honestly, what are you really thinking?"

Having long since given up struggling, Lin Yi, now covered in sweat, was somewhat bewildered by this sudden problem.

"What are you thinking?"

Aguero pressed, "Tell me! Why are we so worried we're almost bald, while you're acting like nothing's wrong? Have you already decided deep down that we have no chance of advancing, so you've surrendered prematurely?"

Lin Yi's gaze swept over the heads of Kompany, Lescott, Yaya Touré, and others, weighing the credibility of Aguero's words.

Then, nonchalantly, he replied, "How could that be? Is this the first time you've met me?"

"So what are your thoughts? Tell us!"

"I don't think we're weaker than Barcelona. Since we need a big win against them at Camp Nou to advance, let's just beat them three times. It's that simple. What's there to worry about?"

"But they are known as the 'Dream Team,' and Camp Nou is one of the most difficult stadiums to conquer."

"Does being ruthless make us easy to mess with?"

Some people still said with some skepticism, "Valdes is quite good and fits Barcelona's style very well."

"Tch~ Casillas's just a substitute, isn't England's goalkeeper on our side?"

Joe Hart released Lin Yi, straightened his body, and looked around as if waiting for someone to continue praising him.

"Their defense has a number of excellent players, including Pique, Alves, and Mascherano."

"Which of Vincent, Mika, Gale, Pablo, or Jollion is easy to deal with?"

Kompany, Richards, Krishnamurti, Zabaleta, and Lescott all nodded and released their grip on Lin Yi.

"The trio of Hab, Iniesta, and Betis is hailed as the strongest midfield in history."

"The combination of David and Yaya is terrifying enough to cause a stir, not to mention the formidable characters like James, Samir, Gareth, and Nigel."

Silva, Toure, Milner, Nasri, Barry, and De Jong, looking smug, withdrew from the crowd.

"The attacking line led by Messi is terrifying."

"Nonsense, the best striker in the world is at Manchester City."

Aguero was smug, but Lin Yi quickly added, "I alone can completely overwhelm Barcelona's attacking line. Add Edin and Mario, and I don't even know how to spell 'lose'."

Dzeko scratched his head sheepishly, while Balotelli continued jumping around in the locker room.

"Damn it! What about me?" Only Aguero remained, unwilling to give up. He was furious that Lin Yi had left him out.

Blinded by rage, Ah Kun didn't notice that the crowd that had been surrounding him and helping to control Lin Yi was now all alone.

"You? You fucking die! You dwarf!" Lin Yi suddenly sprang into action, easily knocking out Aguero, the ringleader of the disturbance.

If we disregard Aguero's disastrous performance, this dressing room drama has had an immeasurable positive effect on Manchester City.

Inspired by Lin Yi's confidence and optimism, and especially driven by the desire to prove themselves worthy of his praise, the entire Manchester City squad displayed an almost abnormally high fighting spirit in the following matches.

The most outrageous of them all was Aguero, who was deliberately pretended to be forgotten by Lin Yi.

He vented all the resentment he had received from Lin Yi on his next opponent.

Blackburn and Bolton have had the worst luck. These two teams are deep in the relegation zone, ranking second to last and third to last respectively. They had hoped that Manchester City might rotate their squad to save energy for the Champions League, and that with a bit of luck, they could get a point or two to improve their chances of avoiding relegation.

As a result, they ran into a Manchester City and Aguero in full attack, and the outcome was truly disastrous.

On February 25, Manchester City thrashed Blackburn 4-0 at home, with Aguero scoring a hat-trick and Lin Yi also finding the net.

On March 3, at Manchester City's home ground, the Etihad Stadium, Bolton suffered a 3-8 defeat, extending Lin Yi's consecutive league scoring streak to eight games, continuing to break his own record for consecutive Premier League scoring games.

Aguero is also terrifying; he scored twice in this match, bringing his total to 5 goals in two games, closely following Lin Yi in the top scorer rankings.

The high-spirited Manchester City were unstoppable, and even the mighty Liverpool could not challenge their dominance.

In the FA Cup rescheduled match on March 5, Manchester City still defeated their opponents 2-1, eliminating Liverpool from the competition. Aguero scored in his third consecutive match.

Fortunately, Liverpool defeated Cardiff City on penalties in the previous League Cup final, managing to secure a title and a European qualification spot for next season.

The next day, the Manchester City players slept in late, then gathered in Carrington, and together with Kompany, who was unable to play, the entire team flew to Barcelona, ​​Spain on a private jet.

The second round of the competition between the two sides is about to begin.
