The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 15 This is five million euros!
A French Cup.

If it was just a French Ligue 2 team defeating a French Ligue 1 team, perhaps not many people would care.

However, when the person who scored the equalizer, the last-minute goal and created three goals for this French Ligue 2 team was the same player, and he was only seventeen years old.

The topic has become very popular.

In addition to the local newspapers in Bastia, Bastia's reversal of Valenciennes in the French Cup was also widely reported.

France's mainstream newspapers also reported on the game.

Especially Gaio.

"Creating a three-goal comeback to advance to the French Cup! That genius is back!"

From Chelsea to Bastia, what has he experienced in these three years?

Gaio's deeds reappeared in the media after many years.

This is the kind of story of a genius rising from the ashes that fans love to hear.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion.

Especially in the post-match press conference, Valenciennes head coach Montagnier said, "We were always in control of the situation until Yang came on the court and the situation changed. We did not lose to Bastia, we just lost to Yang."

Although some Valenciennes fans feel that Montagnier is somewhat shirking responsibility, to a certain extent, this is also true.

They were two goals ahead before Gaio came on.

This made Gaio attract more fans' attention, and many fans even shouted for their home team, trying to find a way to get this player.

Gaio himself, on the other hand, didn't care at all about these praises.

He knew that the praise from the media and fans was rootless and fleeting, coming and going quickly, and only strength was the foundation.

After all, that's how he was praised a few years ago.

However, as he was unable to perform, he became like everyone else and disappeared from the fans' sight.

On the night of the game, he met and chatted with his family, then followed the team back to Bastia.

Chatham found Gaio privately and said with exaggerated body language, "Your performance tonight was unparalleled!

You control the game!

You made us win a game that we were bound to lose in this way!

You are the hero of the team!"

After a brief hug with Gaio, Chatham got down to business. "You're going to be the target of a lot of scrambles from many teams. Tell me, will you leave Bastia?"

In fact, Chatham has the answer to this question in his mind.

Bastia is, after all, just a small team, and it cannot keep the young man’s ambition to reach new heights.

Gaio did not give a direct answer. He said, "If the team needs me, I am willing to help the team get promoted to the first division."

His words were a short-term promise. No matter what happens in the future, at least he will stay in Bastia this season.

This is also what he thinks is the most ideal choice.

Although he has returned to his former peak state now, if he wants to gain a foothold in the top league, he must at least improve his attributes to the upper limit, right?

In the match against Valenciennes, Gaio knew that he had taken advantage of the opponent's lack of familiarity with him.

As the number of games increases, other teams will definitely study his style.

It will be impossible to be so relaxed at that time.

So instead of going to Ligue 1 and sitting on the bench, it is better to stay in Bastia and quietly upgrade.

Chatham smiled. "Alright! The team will also give you an explanation. Your previous contract was only for one year, and the salary was too low. The team is willing to give you a new contract with comprehensive improvements. It's a three-year contract. What do you think?"

"Of course, I will contact Pierre to come over and discuss the contract details."

Gaio had no reason to refuse.

His current contract expires in the summer, and if he doesn't renew it, Bastia won't get a penny.

He was willing to leave a transfer fee to Bastia for the sake of friendship with Chatham. This was his promise to the team.

The team will naturally prefer to give him more playing time to increase Gaio's value.

It's a win-win.

As for the extremely unlikely event of not being able to leave after signing the contract, it can be avoided by simply adding a penalty clause and supplementary regulations.

The French Cup victory had little impact on Gaio's own mentality.

But it has a great impact on his integration into the team!
In training ahead of the next round of Ligue 2, Gaio received goodwill from his teammates.

Especially Vincent.

This player, who came from Bastia's own youth training, is very close to Gaio.

During a break in training, Fan Shang even teased David, "Your position as the main right winger is gone now."

Gaio said nothing.

Davide was open-minded. "As long as the team can win, I can rest more, isn't that good? Don't make things difficult for a veteran like me. After all, the team belongs to you young people."

Everyone is actually very much looking forward to Gaio.

At a time when the team is currently on a strong momentum towards promotion to the second division, adding such a new force is something we have been looking forward to.

When preparing for the next game against Clermont, Hajibegic did not hesitate to put Gaio on the bench.

He actually wanted to start Gaio, but he thought it would be better to let Gaio adapt slowly.

Just as Hajibegic was preparing for his next game.

Chatham has received an offer from a French Ligue 1 side for Gaio.

The winter transfer window is in full swing.

Bastia's French Cup inevitably made some teams pay attention to Gaio.

Previously, they were basically French Ligue 2 teams.

But unexpectedly, the French Ligue 1 team is here now.

And it’s Paris Saint-Germain!

This Paris team was only founded in the 1970s. It had a brief period of glory, but after entering the new century, it fell into a complete trough.

But things changed last year.

Last summer, the Qatari consortium acquired Paris Saint-Germain and then spent 90 million euros to introduce a large number of players who can play immediately.

They are ambitious.

He wants to usher in an era of money in Paris and emulate what Abramovich did at Chelsea.

They want to buy players who can fight immediately, famous stars, but also potential stocks.

Therefore, Paris, which made big moves in the summer transfer window, is still recruiting heavily in the winter transfer window, and Gaio is inevitably favored.

Moreover, the offer made by Paris far exceeds that of other teams.

Other teams would only spend one million euros at most, but Paris spent five million euros!

trench!
Too embarrassing!
Chatham couldn't help but want to agree. Bastia couldn't afford such an offer.

But Chatham firmly refused!
When he sent the email.

He slumped down in the chair, feeling a little dazed. He had rejected 5 million euros!
Bastia's economic situation is that they have adopted a visa-free strategy most of the time, and they only buy players for a few hundred thousand euros at most.

That’s five million euros!
All of a sudden, Chatham's psychological pressure increased instantly.

What if Gaio doesn't play well in the remaining half of the season?

He suffered a net loss of 5 million euros!
