The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 108: The Youngest Captain's Transformation

Stade de France.

Built specifically for the 1998 World Cup, it witnessed the peak years of French football.

Witnessed the embroidery of the first star on the French national team logo.

It was the most expensive stadium in the world at the time, costing a staggering €2.8 million to build.

This is a multi-purpose stadium, not just for football.

The stands are divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. By lowering the platform between the lower and middle levels, the lower stands can be moved back 15 meters, revealing the track and field and jumping venue.

There is also a retractable roof that cost 4500 million euros to build and is used to host various concerts and concerts.

In 1995, the Rolling Stones became the first band to play a concert at the Stade de France.

And tonight.

The Stade de France will once again witness the birth of the final champion of the French Cup in the 2011/12 season.

"Lyon! They've won the French Cup four times in their history, and they're about to win their fifth!"

"Bastia also has a French Cup record. Although they have been struggling in lower-level leagues in recent seasons, they have shown this season that they are as strong as those in Ligue 1."

"Especially the young Bastia player Gaio, who broke many records in Bastia's history and became the only active French international in Ligue 2 this season."

"Blanco said in an interview that he is looking forward to Gaio's performance and does not rule out the possibility that his name will be included in the official roster for the European Cup."

Before the game started, the French Cup broadcast commentator kept introducing the situation of both sides.

After the players finished warming up, they returned to the locker room to prepare.

Both sides' locker rooms.

They are all filled with fighting spirit and determination.

No one wants to be a background figure on the finals stage.

In the Bastia locker room.

In fact, when the players first arrived here, they were still marveling at the luxury of the locker room at the Stade de France.

In comparison, the Thessaly Stadium is like a self-built house in the countryside.

"This game is not only about winning a championship, but also about whether we can play in European competitions next season!"

"This will affect every aspect of the team. It's definitely not as simple as winning or losing a game. I believe you all know this, and I also know the pressure is huge."

"But this is the reality. Only those who can withstand the pressure are worthy of being the champion!!"

Hagibegic stood in the middle of the locker room with a determined look on his face, speaking to all the players in front of him.

Finally, he looked at Gaio.

He pulled out an armband from his pocket, handed it to him, and repeated, "Only those who can withstand pressure deserve to be the champion."

Hajibegich stared at Gaio.

Gaio stood up and looked at Hajibegic with some confusion in his eyes.

That's the captain's armband.

Rothen said, "This is my decision and everyone else's."

The original team captain was Rothen, the second captain was Ma Aoliida, and the third captain was Joplin.

Now, this is to directly make Gaio the first captain.

Hajibegic nodded, "This is also my decision."

"It's my decision too."

Maolida and Joplin said in unison.

The others looked at Gaio expectantly.

As long as Gaio takes over, he will become the youngest captain in the history of Bastia.

Gaio's chest heaved, and after a second of silence, he firmly took the captain's armband.

Worn on the left upper arm.

clap clap clap!
Applause broke out in the locker room.

Gaio responded to each of his teammates with his eyes.

Captain's armband.

This is not only an armband, but also a responsibility.

"Come on." Hagibegic walked over and patted Gaio on the shoulder, then looked at everyone, stretched out his palms facing down, "Come on." The Bastia players stood up and came over, putting their hands together one by one.

"Fight, Bastia!!"

Walk out of the locker room.

Gaio felt his mentality change, and at this moment, he had a feeling that this was his own team.

Before this, he focused more on offense, scoring goals and creating opportunities.

He's just a "role player" - he just needs to do his job.

But now, he felt a change, even a transformation.

He will lead everyone to victory!

Let Bastia cheer for victory!
He is no longer just one person, but a team. He is the captain, the core, and should be the soul of Bastia! !
Chatham saw the captain's armband on Gaio's left arm.

He hugged Gaio tightly and said, "Go, Bastia will not let you down, young captain."

In the players tunnel.

The Lyon players have also walked towards the tunnel entrance, and both teams have a determined look of victory on their faces.

Lacazette saw Gaio, smiled and greeted him.

Gaio turned his head and responded.

Then Lacazette saw the captain's armband on Gaio's left arm, showed a surprised look, and gave Gaio a thumbs up, "You are really amazing! Not only did you make it to the national team, but you also became the team captain. You deserve it!"

Gaio replied, "And so will you."

"come on."

"Well, come on."

After a brief chat, players from both teams gathered at the entrance.

Gaio stood in front of Bastia.

Lacazette from the Lyon team looked at Gaio and couldn't help feeling a little envious.

When he was in the U21 team, he didn't have any feelings for Gaio, he just thought he was a pretty good young man.

I never thought that Gaio's rise would be like a rocket.

All I can say is that in the face of true talent, the results of hard work seem too long to come.

Ordinary people should not compare themselves with geniuses, as it is easy to feel disappointed.

Lacazette calmed down. Gaio is good, but that doesn’t mean his teammates are good.

Similarly, Lacazette can only hope that his teammates can stop Gaio.

"Let's go."

Soon, the referee signaled the players to come out.

Gaio was in the front, and this game was nominally Bastia's home game, so they came out first.

The moment he first walked out of the player tunnel.

Wow!

The Bastia fans at the Stade de France were all shocked!
There was an exclamation of surprise.

Even their chorus of cheering songs stopped to look at the close-up of Gaio on the big screen.

The captain's armband is extremely bright.

"Geo!!"

The next moment, more than 20,000 Bastia fans who came to the scene shouted Gaio's name with all their might.

Let the same sound as the Thessaly Stadium be heard at the Stade de France.

The blue Bastia flag fluttered in the stands, and countless slogans, banners, and jerseys were flying.

As the captain, Gaio performed the side-to-side ceremony and exchanged team flags with Lyon captain Sjörgåsbord.

At this time, in the box of the stands of the French Stadium.

Some people appreciate it, some people worry about it.

Zidane, Ilion and others are full of admiration for Gaio.

Wenger frowned - the difficulty of poaching Gaio has increased.
