The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 148 The French team also wants a youth storm

"Gaio, congratulations, another championship." Varane was the first to greet Gaio when he saw him coming to the training ground. "I'm a little envious."

"Rafael, you're a guy who's already played in the Champions League, so stop talking nonsense." Gaio stepped forward and high-fived Varane.

The two are already very familiar with each other.

The conversation was relaxed, and they started to enter the stadium to prepare for training while talking and laughing.

The new teammate Deschamps mentioned is obviously Varane. This is the first time Varane has been called up to the national team.

Gaio knew without hesitation that this was related to Zidane.

Not only did Zidane introduce Varane to Real Madrid, but Mourinho also gave Varane a chance to play in his first season at Real Madrid.

In the King's Cup, Champions League and League, he made a total of 15 appearances last season, 13 of which were starts.

Scored two goals and one assist.

As a central defender, such data is good enough for a young player who is only 18 years old.

Therefore.

After Deschamps took office, there were examples like Gaio who became the main winger of the national team at the age of 17.

He didn't hold back either.

This roster includes not only 17-year-old Gaio and 18-year-old Raphael Varane, but also 18-year-old Pogba.

Pogba was also at the training ground.

But he obviously had no intention of greeting Gaio, and when their eyes met, there was a hint of scrutiny.

Other players came to the training ground one after another and greeted Gaio.

Ribery asked, "Is your injury fully healed? We were so worried last time."

Gaio nodded, "No problem, Dr. Montel has confirmed that I have fully recovered."

Ribery patted Gaio on the shoulder and said, "That's good. It's a pity that we missed the European Championship. If you hadn't been injured, we might have been able to get past Germany."

Speaking of it.

Ribery actually felt a little uncomfortable. In his opinion, this might be his last European Cup, and it ended with such a result.

If it weren't for Gaio's self-combustion, the French team would not even have made it to the semi-finals.

Subsequently.

Gaio met Giroud.

Benzema's name was not included in Deschamps' squad this time, which caused some controversy, but Blanco had already abandoned Benzema.

Some media speculated that Benzema must have done something unknown and was abandoned by two head coaches.

Blanco takes away the biggest pressure.

The overall doubts about Deschamps' first squad arrangement after taking office were actually very subtle.

No Benzema.

Giroud is the absolute main center forward.

He was also very proud and looked at Gaio, "It's a pity that I'm not in Montpellier, otherwise I wouldn't let you win the French Super Cup so easily."

"Indeed, we are luckier." Gaio smiled and hugged him.

"How is it? Does the injury affect you?" Giroud is much taller than Gio. He looked down at Gio with concern in his eyes.

"Don't worry, it will definitely not affect our victory."

"Then I definitely believe that when you are healthy, in my heart, you are the best right winger in the world."

At this point, Giroud lowered his voice, glanced at Berry, and whispered to Gaio, "Don't let Frank hear it, in his mind the best right winger is Robben."

"Haha."

After saying that, Varane next to him also laughed.

Several people began to warm up formally.

However, when Gaio just heard Giroud talking about Robben and then looked at Ribery, he suddenly remembered that this season will be Ribery's peak season - Champions League champion, Bundesliga champion, German Cup champion, UEFA Super Cup champion; personal honors include European Best Player, Bundesliga Best Player and Bundesliga Assist King.

This also led to a huge controversy over the 2013 Ballon d'Or, with the main controversy being the postponement of the voting.

This also always bothered Ribery. Many years later, in an interview, he spoke his mind -

"It's been a perfect year, I couldn't have done better, and this Ballon d'Or will always be an unfair award. I will never understand why the voting deadline was delayed by more than two weeks."

"If the voting rules were the same as they are now, I would have won the award. I feel like my Golden Globe was stolen by the selection committee."

soon.

Gaio collected his thoughts and began formal training.

During training, Gaio could always feel the scrutiny coming from Pogba.

There has been no direct communication between Gea and Pogba.

However, Gaio is quite familiar with this equally talented midfielder.

Pogba's football talent is extremely rare. He has the skills, vision, physique, confrontation and football IQ, which are all rare in one person. In layman's terms, it is like God is chasing him and feeding him.

But he also had a fatal problem.

Similar to Lukaku, with a "giant baby" personality.

Because of his extraordinary talent in football since childhood, he developed a "self-centered histrionic personality".

Pogba has this kind of personality.

Perhaps Ferguson saw through his character and deliberately criticized Pogba, so Pogba never had many opportunities at Manchester United.

And Pogba likes to show off. His current position on the field is defensive midfielder, and he still wants to show off even if the opponent comes to press.

No matter whether there are open teammates to support, the goal is to show off.

to be honest.

He just wants to show off, to be the coolest guy on the court, to get everyone's attention.

He didn't get that at Manchester United.

Even when Cristiano Ronaldo first arrived at Manchester United, he was criticized by Ferguson for his fancy moves. Why should Pogba do the same?
This point about him is quite consistent with that of his Manchester United youth team teammate Lingard.

The two have a good relationship.

Deschamps was on the side, constantly watching the players' training. As a mature coach, he had his own effective logic for selecting players.

He discovered many players during his coaching career.

He could naturally tell which players in this roster were worth training, which were just transitional, and which needed to be abandoned.

Deschamps is a devout believer in the parallel 442 formation.

Whether in Monaco or Juventus, he used the configuration of two center forwards, two double wingers and two midfielders.

Gaio and Ribery fly together on the wings.

It is undoubtedly the best combination for winger in his mind.

At the center position, Giroud is pretty good as a fulcrum, but there is no suitable flexible forward to help Giroud.

Deschamps knows he still needs to find a versatile player up front.

The player currently being used is Marvin Martin, who just transferred to Lille.

Last season, Martin played for Sochaux and became the assist king in Ligue 1 with 19 assists.

As for the midfield and defense, Deschamps has not yet determined the final available players, so we will have to wait and see.

He doesn't mind promoting young players. It's time for France to usher in a youth storm!

soon.

Training is over for the day.

Deschamps announced that there would only be training in the morning on weekends, and the afternoon would be free to arrange time.

Ribery smiled and said to Gaio, "Want to go to Paris tomorrow afternoon?"

Gaio shook his head. "No, I'm going to watch a regional league match."
