The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 121 At first, everyone thought it was just garbage time to train the young players
Gaio was stunned.

Do you still have a chance to play?
"go quickly!"

Giroud smiled brightly, pushed Gaio's shoulder, asked him to get up quickly, and even helped him take off his substitute vest and handed Gaio his jersey.

He is simply a caring big brother.

Giroud is sincerely happy for Gaio, although it is unknown when his European Cup debut will begin.

Gaio quickly gathered his equipment and walked to the sidelines.

Blanco put his arm around his shoulders and whispered in his ear, "Remember what I told you? Use your offensive ability, try boldly, it doesn't matter if you lose the ball, try more, you must try."

Blanco kept saying "essayer".

Gaio nodded firmly.

at the same time.

The broadcast camera gave a close-up of Gaio on the sidelines.

The commentator of French TF1 couldn't help but get excited at this moment, "Oh, what do I see? It's Gaio! He was the most surprising player of the just-concluded French Ligue 2 season, and now he is standing next to Blanc, waiting to enter the field.

When he takes to the pitch, he will be on course to break the previous record set by Juste Fontaine in 1953 – the youngest player to make his debut for the French national team at the age of 18 years and five months.

And Gaio is only 17 years and 196 days old today!"

"Geo!!"

"Here he comes, Gaio is coming!!"

When the camera turned to Gaio, Bastia was filled with heat as the Mediterranean evening breeze blew - the emotions of the people of Bastia were burning.

Familiar figure, different jersey.

When Gaio stood there, he was the proudest person in Bastia.

How long has it been since Bastia produced an international player?
Who was the previous one?
Now, even if he only appears in the final garbage time of the game, it is still an appearance!

This is the European Cup!

Any player who can stand on this field is already one of the best football players in their respective countries.

Sunset Cafe Court.

Bastia fans who did not have the time and financial means to travel to Ukraine raised their glasses and toasted Gaio's debut.

Also cheering for Gaio for setting a new record!
"This is Gaio, a legendary name that will never be erased from Bastia's history."

In today's Bastia, Gaio's popularity has already reached its peak.

There will be a double champion parade and the broadcast of the documentary "The Road to Champions".

Almost all 100,000 people in Bastia knew the name "Gaio" and the meaning behind this name.

drop!
When the ball was dead on the court, the referee blew the whistle and pointed to the sidelines.

The French team made a substitution in the 88th minute.

Replace No. 6 Cabaye with No. 19 Gaio.

Cabaye slowly walked off the field and waved to the fans in the stands.

Gaio habitually taps the sideline with his toes.

The habit he brought from the gravel court in Niaoquan Town was continued by him in the European Cup.

But he was no longer shaking off the gravel.

It was just one of the anchors of his life.

Just like tonight he put on the French national team jersey, countless national team days and nights in the future all started from here.

Many fans from Corsica applauded Gaio crazily.

Gaio was their pride.

However, everyone knows that at this point in time, Blanco is just using garbage time to train young players.

Give Gaio a chance to play.

Gaio's stage is not tonight, his stage is in the future.

But the fans are still going crazy.

A historic moment is about to be born!

The lanterns are on.

The bright lights of the stadium and the cheers of the fans made Gaio slightly dazed.

Cabaye came off the field and hugged Gaio, saying, "Come on, kid."

Gaio woke up from his dream.

Nod.

Step onto the green field.

"Gaio!! The youngest player to ever appear in the history of the French national team!!"

In commentary, the focus is on his age.

Just like the fans.

Many people believe that the future belongs to Gaio.

In the stands, Zidane, Deschamps, Le Graet, Mbappé, Montbaël, Wenger, Kante, Mané, and Varane all smiled when they saw Gaio come on the pitch.

Mbappé is even more exaggerated.

He yelled to Wilfred and the others, “Oh my God! Gaio broke Fontaine’s record!”

There is no need to explain Fontaine's status in the hearts of French football fans.

Wilfred smiled, “Maybe you can work harder and break Gaio’s record in the future.”

Mbappé showed a longing look at this moment, and asked himself in his heart, "Can I do it?"

In his heart, Gaio is an idol and a mentor, but more like a guide who opens the skylight for him.

It was Gaio who showed Mbappé what true talent is.

Donetsk Donbass Stadium.

After Gaio came on the pitch, he quickly ran to the right, which is his most familiar position.

Blanco also signaled to Nasri to retreat to fill the space left by Cabaye.

Nasri wasn't as excited about Gio's arrival as others.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that some people rely on connections to enter the national team. Now, in his opinion, Gaio's connections are indeed a bit powerful.

If it were any other time, he would definitely do it insincerely.

But I'm happy that I scored a goal today, so that's all.

After scoring in the first half, he made a "shut up" gesture to the England bench.

Directly pointing to England's assistant coach, Manchester United legend Gary Neville.

Gary Neville, England's assistant coach and Daily Mail columnist, wrote an article before the game questioning Nasri's professional attitude, saying he "lacks stability" and "is not up to the task."

Nasri was determined to take revenge and vent his anger.

I'm too lazy to bother with Gaio.

Anyway, in his opinion, what's the point of coming up for three or four minutes?
Isn't it because of certain relationships that he was able to get these few minutes of playing time?

Even Nasri was thinking about passing the ball to Gaio to avoid being criticized by the media for causing divisions within the team.

Nasri still hopes from the bottom of his heart that he can lead the team to go further in the European Cup.

After all, this is also a chance for him to prove himself.

The media has been saying that the current French team has no core and is too common, and he wants to stand out.

So the ninety-first minute.

When Nasri got the ball, he saw Gaio in an open space on the right.

After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and passed the ball towards Gaio.

"Geo's first touch since coming on. Oh my god! What is this?!"

The TF1 commentator was just completing his commentary task in a straightforward manner, but suddenly, he was stunned by Gaio's actions after touching the ball on the field.

"Does he usually play like this? Oh, sorry, it seems I need to brush up on Gaio's playing style. Gaio passed Henderson."

Wow!

The fans also exclaimed in an instant.

Gaio's adaptation period to the game was much shorter than they expected!
Gaio received the pass from Sri, and without stopping the ball, he kicked it forward, separating the player from the ball.

The triple physical strength that burst out with speed made Henderson, a midfielder who was not known for his speed, extremely embarrassed in front of him and was completely left behind.

Simple and rude!
Just eat it raw at speed!

The fans who had been booing players from both sides for 90 minutes and were already drowsy were suddenly cheered up at this moment.

"Geo!"

Bastia fans cheered Gaio's name as loudly as they did at the Cesari Stadium.

Gaio in blue is the one they are most familiar with.

Whether it is Bastia blue or French blue.

Everyone's focus was on Gaio.

Gaio easily passed Henderson and rushed all the way to the penalty area.

England's left-back Ashley Cole and left center-back Lescott quickly filled in.

The two surrounded Gaio and tried to stop him.

But Gaio's speed did not slow down.

He just came on the court.

Full of energy!

When his speed reached its limit, he exploded again, and this time, he burned up everything!

The young man in blue flashed by like the wind and lightning.

Before Ashley Cole and Lescott could even close in, Gaio had already used his speed to cut inside and face goalkeeper Joe Hart.

The two were shocked. Isn't this right?!
That’s not the script!
