The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 155 Returning and Still at the Top
"You have the whole world,

But Bastia only has you."

This is a heartfelt confession to Gaio from Bastia's die-hard fans.

No screams, no shouts,
There is no crazy passion to vent,
Only Elaine's song "Ce train qui s'en va" echoed silently in the Cesari Stadium.

Only the banners silently held high by the fans tell of the concern of this small Mediterranean city for Gaio.

even,

Bastia fans will find Elaine’s original lyrics so fitting –

“C’est dur de te voir partir”

It's so sad to see you go.

The people of Bastia knew that Gaio would one day leave here, just like in Elaine's song.

Gaio, who was warming up on the field, couldn't help but stop when he saw this scene.

There was a moment.

He hopes to be like Totti, Bergomi and Maldini, one man for one city.

Stay here and take Bastia to the summit.

but,
Bastia is not Roma or AC Milan.

This place cannot support his dreams and is destined to be just a starting point. If he wants to compete with the chosen ones of this era, he must leave.

Gaio waved his arms toward the stands.

Respond to fans.

Then continue to warm up and prepare for the game.

He will leave.

But before leaving, he will work hard to make up for Bastia's regrets and reach another peak!
In the locker room.

Hagibegic patted Lukaku on the shoulder, "Romelu! Find the goal! Remember, the goal is not in the stands or the corner flag area. Forget the feeling of shooting in the last game. If you are really unsure, give the ball to Kevin or Gaio."

Lukaku nodded. In fact, he didn't like old-school coaches like Hagibegic, whose words were very annoying.

He prefers playing with Gaio and is very comfortable talking to Gaio.

Hagibegic didn't say much to Lukaku, he found that this black boy's brain was not as good as his body.

He looked at De Bruyne and Gaio, he knew from training and games.

These two are the players he can rely on.

"come on."

Hajibegic didn't say anything to the two of them, just said "come on".

They give Hajibegich peace of mind.

De Bruyne glanced at Gaio, this was basically their official league collaboration.

He was rather reserved and had not actually communicated with Gaio since arriving in Bastia.

But he kept an eye on Gaio silently.

After all, in Bastia, it was hard not to keep an eye on Gaio.

He is so famous!
It seems that everything in Bastia is related to Gaio.

Just like the banner that the fans took out during the warm-up just now, "Song of Gaio".

The fans in this city are crazy about Gaio.

soon.

Players from both teams followed the referee into the field through the player tunnel.

As the captain, Gaio took the lead.

When he walked into the Cesari Stadium.

The sound waves were like a real wind blowing towards him, hitting him head on.

"Geo!!"

The fans' crazy shouts were completely different from the lyrical ones just now.

and.

In the stands facing the players' tunnel, fans were holding up various banners.

"Ashes to the indifferent, all glory to our king"

"Yan Gayo is more than just a player. This is a war declaration"

"The day you chose Bastia, Bastia embraced football"

There are many, many banners that fans put up for Gaio last season.

Now they are all taken out again.

Such a shocking opening made the Reims players feel a little bitter, as they had already experienced Gaio's power in Ligue 2.

Now we meet again in Bastia's first home game.

Look at the momentum of the people of Bastia.

Today's game seems to be a bit difficult to end unless we suffer a crushing defeat.

When Gaio entered the stadium and turned around to prepare for the opening ceremony, he suddenly discovered that in the stands on this side.

They are TIFOs!

Still bearing traces of burns, Gaio was surrounded and lifted the trophy;

To hold the crown and look towards the French continent;
Then there are the four TIFOs from 1968 and 1981; and finally the huge silhouette of Gaio with the words "Bastia embraces football".

These TIFOs seem to be the path Gaio took when he came to Bastia.

Bastia fans laid it all out tonight.

Like a review.

It's like I want to remember all of this more deeply.

In addition to these banners and TIFOs, various versions of "Gaio's Song" were also played in the stadium.

Gaio performed the opening ceremony.

When players from both teams stand in the center circle waiting for the kick-off.

Bang!
Bang bang! !
Suddenly, the sound of fireworks was heard from the north stand, and Modoso lit the fireworks.

Then someone threw a smoke bomb into the stadium.

Blue smoke quickly spread.

at the same time.

Boom!
dong dong dong! !

The drums sounded again, and the voices of the diehard fans in the North Stand singing songs became more and more passionate.

"When you run, the earth trembles

The Deep Blue Army is your army."

Wow!

The fans in other stands were getting agitated, and everyone's eyes were looking towards the north stand.

A brand new TIFO was unfolded.

The broadcast camera quickly gave a close-up of the scene—

Gaio slid to his knees and roared, thunder exploded behind him. The jersey he was wearing was a fusion of the blue France and Bastia jerseys.

Such a picture,
In the blue smoke, it looks even more dazzling.

"Geo!"

"Geo!!"

"Geo!!!"

Then the fans shouted three times, each one louder than the last!
The moment it ends.

drop! !

The time just arrived and the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

The whole game officially begins.

clap clap clap!
The fans at the Cesari Stadium applauded.

Lance kicks off.

After Bastia's opening, the Reims players were actually a little scared.

Bastia pressed forward frantically.

At home, we showed our determination to win at all costs!

In less than two minutes, Lance was intercepted in midfield.

"Kevin!"

Because the smoke was thick, Kahusac shouted De Bruyne and passed the ball to De Bruyne at the same time.

De Bruyne received the ball in the middle.

He is a midfielder with strong pushing ability, and the opponent's midfielder Devo came up to intercept him.

De Bruyne suddenly stopped and changed direction, then accelerated and got rid of DeVaux.

Heading straight to the heart of Reims!

The smoke was thick.

But De Bruyne basically has a rough idea of ​​the running positions of his teammates in his mind.

He looked at the field in front of him.

When the opponent came towards him to defend, he passed the ball to the right.

Gaio ran out of space to receive the ball.

Post-up ball.

His left-back Fofana, who was defending him, quickly stuck to Gaio.

but,

Gaio didn't stop the ball at all. The moment the ball came over, he just wiped it back.

Then he turned from the other side, passed Fofana and received the ball.

Stop and go!

Wow!

The fans at the scene exclaimed in surprise.

Many people are worried about Gaio's condition.

But as soon as the doubts were dispelled, Gaio proved with his actual performance—

He is back and still top class!
