The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 1: The former Clairefontaine prodigy

"Hey, Gio, wake up."

Yang Cheng was in a daze and felt someone pulling at him, but his eyelids seemed to be sealed and he couldn't open them no matter what.

Consciousness gradually becomes active.

Gaio?

Who is this?
pain!
Just as he regained consciousness, Yang Cheng felt a sharp pain like needles pricking his head, and countless memories came flooding back.

The pain almost made him faint again.

"Hey! Gyo! What's wrong with you?!"

"Doctor! Quick! Call a doctor! Something's wrong with Gio!"

Yang Cheng no longer cared about what was happening around him. He was fighting the pain with all his strength.

In a trance.

Countless images flashed through his mind like slides.

Football, Clairefontaine, talent, talking back at the coach, Chelsea, Abramovich, doubts, France, Nantes, injuries, Bastia.
Scene after scene.

Yang Cheng was trapped in the information flow and couldn't extricate himself.

until.

The police's voice rang out.

"I'm sorry, but Jan was involved in this robbery. He's one of the culprits. We have to take him away."

Then came the tears of the parents.

It's parting.

It's a scene of entering the Fleury-Mérogis youth prison.

These scenes were like a movie, immersing Yang Cheng in them. These images completely enveloped Yang Cheng like flowing water.

Wow!

Then a strong light suddenly shot into Yang Cheng's mind.

He was like a drowning man being pulled out of the water.

Breathing heavily.

Everything in front of me began to change. There was a white ceiling, glaring lights, and a strange white face.

"There's nothing wrong with his vital signs. He's just fallen into some kind of flow state. This might be related to his own mental illness. He needs a psychiatrist."

Yang Cheng lay there, staring blankly at the ceiling.

like a statue.

He is trying to accept reality.

Traveling through time and being reborn?

Seize the body?

When the pain in his mind disappeared, he seemed to sort out everything in front of him.

He, an ordinary Chinese amateur player, was so angry that he clashed with the home fans because he watched a national football team game on the night of September 5, 2024.

In the chaos, someone hit him with a brick and he lost consciousness on the spot.

When you wake up again, it will be now.

He became a French troubled teenager named Yann Gueho, once the prodigy of Clairefontaine, now a prisoner.

One month ago, November 29, 2011.

On Gaio's 17th birthday.

He and his companions robbed a perfume store about five or six hundred meters away from his home with knives.

It was called robbery.

It's more like an expression of dissatisfaction with the status quo.

They only robbed a few dozen euros and were brought to justice before they had time to spend them.

But not before that.

Yann Gaio is a super prodigy that is anticipated by countless French football practitioners.

He joined Clairefontaine at the age of eleven, joined Chelsea's youth training camp at the age of fourteen and skipped a grade to join Chelsea U16.

It should have a bright future.

But Gaio has fatal psychological problems. He despises authority, is easily irritable, and has very unstable emotions and is paranoid.

He is superstitious about his own talents and plays as an attacking midfielder and winger. He always wants to rely on his dribbling talent to get past all the opponents and plays football in a very unique way.

His skills and personal abilities amazed Chelsea's coach, saying, "This is simply art."

He was even promoted to Chelsea's first team.

But his character prevented him from going any further.

He had an argument with Ricardo Carvalho in the first team and also contradicted Terry. If Drogba had not been very optimistic about Gaio and protected him, he would have been beaten by Chelsea's tough guys.

But he was still abandoned by Chelsea half a year ago.

The reason was simple: he beat up a Russian player from Chelsea's youth academy whom Abramovich liked very much. He then returned to France and joined the Nantes youth academy.

However, he was abandoned again due to an adductor muscle injury and then joined the Bastia youth training camp.

He hadn't shown any talent at Bastia yet.

He went to jail.

Looking back on it all, Yang Cheng could honestly say that he envied Gaio.

He envied these gifted people.

They have the confidence to indulge themselves.

They are so eye-catching.

Unlike him, who loves football but has nothing.

Despite his best efforts, he could only barely reach amateur level, and he had to balance work and life, which made him exhausted.

But God seemed to have given him a chance to start over.

"Jan Gaio"

Yang Cheng murmured to himself this name, this new life.

A smile appeared on his lips.

Since you can't live such a good life, let me use this top talent to write a chapter in football history.

The point that he could not reach even if he tried his best was the starting point of these geniuses.

now.

He also became one of them.

Although the predecessor wasted too much time.

Fortunately, Gaio is only 17 years old and there is still time.

Just as Gaio smiled, his parents beside him couldn't stop crying.

In their opinion, Gaio has gone mad.

This month was the most difficult time for the whole family.

Father Pierre was just an ordinary French working-class man, slightly better off than most people, but raising six children was still a bit difficult.

Their whole family is counting on the third son Gaio's football talent to help them escape from their current not-so-affluent life.

In fact, Gaio has helped them through many difficulties.

After Gaio joined the youth training camp, Chelsea gave him a sum of money and also covered the tuition expenses of Gaio's brothers and sisters.

Even though Gaio's contract with Chelsea has ended, Chelsea is still committed to helping the remaining children complete their studies.

So faced Gaio.

Pierre and his wife have both the responsibility as parents and the expectations for him.

After exhausting every possible means, he finally got the chance to be released on bail.

But when he went to visit his child in prison, he saw that he looked mentally ill.

It makes them feel heartbroken.

"Gaio." The mother murmured Gaio's name with tears streaming down her face.

Gaio, who was lying down, turned and looked at them.

Then he pulled himself up.

"Gaio?!" Pierre was a little surprised.

Gaio waved his hand, "I'm fine."

The couple was a little surprised and looked scared. The mother hugged Gaio and didn't say anything, but her body was twitching.

Gaio wakes up.

It doesn't look like there's anything wrong.

As silent as ever.

The youth prison immediately began the bail process. He could go to the Bastia youth training camp for training during the day, but he would be monitored at night to prevent him from committing crimes again.

When Gaio left the prison.

He brought nothing with him.

His friends were shouting his name, asking him to help get bail.

Gaio didn't react at all.

With his head down and in silence, he walked out of the prison.

There was no looking back.

Yang Cheng, no, it should be Yang Gaio, looked up at the French sky and smiled.

"From now on, I will take over your life."
