The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 141 Give and You Will

The July sunshine on the east coast of the United States was like melted butter, sticking to the training ground and every Bastia player.

Gaio greeted his teammates.

Most of last season's lineup has been replaced.

Gaio sighed slightly, but this is professional football, there are always people leaving and people coming.

One day, it will be his turn to leave.

"Geo, welcome back!"

Hajibegic was the first to greet Gaio, then looked at everyone and said, "Take a break and get ready for joint training. Our ace is back!"

De Bruyne looked at Gaio curiously.

Just right.

Gaio's gaze also turned to him, and the two looked at each other.

De Bruyne, who had put on the Bastia jersey for the joint training, frowned slightly, opened his mouth slightly, and looked calm and a little serious.

Gaio smiled friendly at the young "Ding Ding".

There was no communication with him at the first time.

De Bruyne is still an introverted player now.

From Genk, Belgium, to the big city of London, to small Mediterranean towns like Bastia.

It takes an adaptation process.

Their first meeting was uneventful.

On the other hand, Lukaku, who was not yet a "braised egg head" next to De Bruyne, looked at Gaio with a sizing look, and then said to De Bruyne, "This kid looks skinny and weak. I can easily knock two of them away."

De Bruyne retracted his gaze and casually replied to Lukaku, "He won't give you the chance to knock him down. You will just fall to the ground in embarrassment because of the imbalance of your center of gravity."

Lukaku shrugged and didn't answer, but he was not convinced in his heart. He thought, if he really wanted to collide with Gaio, how could he not hit him?
He is not too fond of Gaio's fancy dribbling. On the court, he likes to make soup and eat his opponents raw.

The Belgian explosion is no joke.

Gaio is familiar with Mane and Kante. These two are also relatively introverted, and because they are black players, they have not yet integrated into the team after coming to Bastia.

Gaio consciously helped them integrate with the original players.

After this period of training.

Hagibegic has a general impression of the new players.

The day after tomorrow we will play the French Super Cup final against Montpellier.

He has also worked out the starting lineup for the first game of the new season.

"Romelu, you are in the center position. You can move to the side or retreat, but try not to move to the right and don't squeeze Gaio's space."

"Leave the left side to you two, Sidibe and Palmieri. I believe you can activate the left flank."

The young Mane and Hagibegic are not yet safe to use for the time being.

same,
Kante also did not get a chance to start.

"In midfield, Kevin, you partner with Rothen and Kahusatz. The three of you can switch positions flexibly, but Rothen and Kahusatz, you two should focus on defense. Kevin doesn't need to go back to defend."

Hajibegic looked at De Bruyne and said, "You need to use more of your physical strength and energy to pass forward. I hope you can use your threatening passes to tear through the opponent's defense."

De Bruyne nodded.

Off the court, he's introverted.

But once it comes to the game, he is like a different person. He is eager to win. He will scold his teammates for their mistakes, and he will also argue with the head coach because of the unreasonable tactical arrangements of the head coach.

"Right back, Sioni, you try first. I hope you can show the strength you have shown in training. Otherwise, I believe Kroos is eager for such an opportunity."

Ceoni nodded, looking relieved.

He actually didn't think that a guy from the fifth-tier league could take away his starting position.

Jonathan Croce smiled a little nervously.

He has never longed to be a starter.

When Chatham signed him, they only said they would give him a chance to rotate and possibly play in Ligue 1. For this possible opportunity, Klose chose to join Bastia without hesitation.

This is a French Ligue 1 team.

Don’t think that a newly promoted team is not Ligue 1!
"Then, for the center back position, you and Angula, Joplin, are both veterans who came up with me from the French League. I believe you won't let me down. You are the double-champion center back combination!"

"Of course!"

Joplin and Angula both smiled confidently.

The final goalkeeper position was given to the 29-year-old main goalkeeper Novis.

Hagibegic actually wanted to change the goalkeeper, but Chatham did not find a suitable candidate.

It might be enough for Nováveis ​​in Ligue 2, but when it comes to Ligue 1 and the Europa League, Hagibegic always feels that it is not enough.

However, the team has limited funds and has already spent enough in the summer transfer window.

So be it.

The team's Portuguese goalkeeping coach, Antonio Costa, actually recommended a Benfica youth goalkeeper, Jan Oblak, to Hajibegic.

But Hajibegic thought the boy was a little young.

Only 19 years old.

He didn't want to level up a 19-year-old goalkeeper in such an important season.

As for the right winger.

Hajibegic didn't even say it, but everyone knew it belonged to Gaio.

As long as Gaio is not injured, no one can take away his starting position.

soon.

Hagibegic asked the players to start preparing for joint training because there were not enough substitute players to form a team.

So Hajibegic mainly conducted half-court offense and defense drills.

When Lukaku walked up to Gaio, he said, "Hey, pass the ball to me more, and I'll get it."

He patted his chest, full of confidence.

Gaio smiled and nodded, giving Lukaku a thumbs up.

Lukaku also smiled and gave Gaio a thumbs up, giving his first like of the day.

The joint training will begin soon.

They are all teammates and are not giving their all. They are basically focusing on coordinating tactics.

So Gaio didn't dribble too much.

Instead, he fed the ball to Lukaku.

It’s just because he didn’t play the whole game, so his speed advantage couldn’t be brought into play, and he didn’t like to confront the central defender, so his efficiency was average.

It was De Bruyne who caught Gaio's eye.

A master is a master!
His vision was so broad that even Gaio was surprised by his occasional long passes.

The most important thing is that De Bruyne is very adaptable!
It's almost plug and play.

Hagibegic looked at the effect of this lineup and was looking forward to the match against Montpellier.

of course,

Defending champion Montpellier is not as wealthy as Paris Saint-Germain.

However, since the team will enter the Champions League in the new season, it has also been active in the summer transfer market.

With star striker Giroud moving to Arsenal, the team first acquired 23-year-old striker Gatan Chaponnier from French Ligue 2 team Angers, then signed defender Daniel Kongré from Toulouse, and finally brought Nice striker Meunier into the team.

The team's strength has been greatly improved.

This game will not be easy.
