The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 151: The young man is like the wind, like lightning, like a stunning figure in the world

"Pay attention to the two flanks, they are the core of France's attack, especially Gaio, that kid's feet are no worse than the Brazilians."

The Uruguayan defenders were still hearing the instructions of head coach Tavares.

In this game, Uruguay fielded a three-center-back system.

Five defenders!

It is aimed at teams with strong wingers like France.

drop! !

As the opening ceremony ended, the referee blew the opening whistle in the center circle.

Alvaro Perreira, who plays for Inter Milan, is the starting left-back for Uruguay. His first task was to follow up and keep a close eye on Gaio.

This is his most important task in this game.

After the French team kicked off, they did not rush to attack. Deschamps asked the team to maintain a compact formation to avoid excessive pressure that would leave the defense line empty.

In his tactics, he emphasizes the combination of wingers and center when attacking, but relies more on counterattacks rather than ball possession.

Wing attack is the core.

Therefore, whether it is Ribery or Gaio, they are the counterattack points that he pays most attention to.

In the first few minutes, both sides were cautious.

There aren't many good opportunities.

The best chance was when Suarez received a through ball from Fran with his back to the goal, turned around and shot without looking at the goal.

Saved by Lori.

But this kick also allowed the French to see Suarez's talent in shooting.

The shot felt so good!
Gaio was a little envious. If he had the same shooting skills as Suarez, his goal stats would double.

gradually.

Uruguay gradually took the lead on the field.

The French team's midfield was relatively mediocre, and it was difficult to connect the front and back fields. Deschamps frowned on the sidelines, constantly thinking about how to make substitutions.

Generally speaking,
Only three substitutions can be made in a game, but in this friendly match, France and Uruguay agreed to increase the number of substitutions to six after consultation.

This is also the maximum substitution limit for FIFA A-level competitions.

If there are more than six people, it will not be considered an A-level event and national team points will not be counted.

Bang!
On the field, Cavani received the ball from Suarez and shot.

Fortunately, Varane fell to the ground and blocked the shot in time.

The situation of the French team is gradually becoming ugly.

The broadcast close-up shot was given to Deschamps.

The TF1 commentator said that "Deschamps' tactical philosophy is pragmatism first" to make up for Deschamps.

Many fans still felt that the scene was a bit ugly, and the more anxious ones even said, "Not as good as Blanco."

A full fifteen minutes.

France only had one shot attempt when Ribery broke through and cut inside, while Uruguay had six shots.

The goal guarded by Lori is in danger.

Deschamps still looked anxious. He didn't care about the result of the game. What he cared about was that there was no one available in the midfield.

Ma Wuba is old after all.

Hardworking, but definitely lacking in speed, unable to keep up with the pace.

Valbuena was even unable to pass the ball forward from midfield.

The frontcourt players can only retreat.

This prevented the French team from launching a counterattack.

Deschamps looked to Gaio on the right.

Gaio has not had any good chances so far, and Alvaro Pereira and Godin have been guarding him all the time.

The ball went to Gaio, and the two men had physical confrontation with Gaio in advance.

At the moment, Gaio's body can't bear it.

Gaio tried to move forward several times, but his teammates failed to pass the ball to the right position and it was intercepted.

Deschamps shook his head and said, "We are still lacking midfield."

He couldn't help but think of Nasri, but then he shook his head. The black sheep that Blanco removed during his national team career will not be "restored" by Deschamps.

"Geo!"

Suddenly, Varane's loud roar on the field attracted Deschamps' attention.

Fran cooperated with the wingers and cut inside to the edge of the penalty area. Varane found the right opportunity and made a flying tackle, not only intercepting the ball, but also because he kept one foot back, he could not kick the ball out.

It's caught under your feet.

Varane got up quickly!
move forward.

When the opposing players came to press, Varane saw Gaio making a forward run and yelled.

Bang!
A long pass straight to the right!
Godin reacted instantly, found the right spot to intercept, and Alvaro quickly retreated and filled the position first.

Varane's pass was a bit too long.

Fortunately, Gaio started early, quickly increased his speed, and rushed to the landing point.

Godin and Victorino, who was returning to defense in the middle, also headed towards the landing point.

The three of them arrived at the spot where the football landed almost at the same time.

Gaio was caught between the two.

He immediately went berserk and collided with Godin and Victorino. Gaio staggered a little, but successfully used his position advantage to catch the football with his chest.

However, Godin interfered and pushed him forward, and he couldn't control the ball well.

Gaio almost subconsciously stretched out his left foot and hooked the ball back.

Turn around immediately.

Godin and Victorino had not expected this scene at all, and turned around a step slower than Gaio.

Gaio turned around and caught the ball with his left foot, then moved forward.

Thanks to Giroud distracting the other defender, Gaio dribbled over and had a half-solo chance!!
Wow!

The French fans at the scene were boiling with excitement. They shouted loudly - "Gao!"

When the French team needed an attack the most, Gaio stepped up again!
Gaio charged forward with fury.

Alvaro on the other side was well prepared. He took a few big steps forward and made a flying tackle towards Gaio!
Gaio immediately stopped and kicked the ball towards his right foot.

Get away from Alvaro.

And because of the inertia of Alvaro's forward charge, he couldn't stop at all.

When he got up from the ground, Gaio had already rushed out.

Single Blade!!
At this moment, not only the fans at the scene, but also all the French fans watching the broadcast were full of anticipation.

I was pressed down and kicked for so long.

Is their goal coming?!

Uruguay's legendary goalkeeper Muslera quickly rushed out to block Gaio's shot.

but,

He may not be very familiar with Gaio's style when he attacks.

Emergency stop!

He raised his left foot and suddenly pretended to shoot.

Muslera flew out!

The moment he pushed off the ground, Gaio dribbled the ball to his right foot and pushed it forward.

Fried meatballs!

Gaio took a big step and distanced himself from Muslera.

With a gentle push towards the empty goal, the football rolled over the goal line.

1-0.

France, leading!

Wow!
More than 20,000 French fans in the Ocean Stadium exploded instantly.

So handsome!
One-stop break!

After scoring the goal, Gaio shook his finger, rushed to the corner flag area, and opened his arms towards the fans in the stands.

Welcome these cheers that belong to him!
"Geo!!"

The fans in the stands were shouting his name at the top of their lungs. At this moment, Gaio was like the wind, like lightning, like a stunning figure in the world.

Gave the fans the most perfect moment.

The blue flag surged in the stands like the sea!

Deschamps finally smiled with relief. He clapped his hands vigorously and cheered for Gaio's goal.

Subsequently,

He turned around and celebrated with his assistants, saying, "He is the only answer on the right side of France."
