The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 156 I can’t keep up, I really can’t keep up
"For Gaio, Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 are just a change of names."

Bastia fans in the stands were smiling happily.

On the field.

Geio passed Mohamed Fofana and quickly moved forward, advancing along the sideline all the way to the vicinity of the penalty area.

Reims midfielder Krechowiak blocked Gaio's way, while the winger also returned to defend.

Krechowiak held the inside.

Card guards the outside line.

With Fofana chasing back, he was double-teamed by three people.

Gaio did two bicycle kicks in front of Krechowiak, and Krechowiak lowered his center of gravity to prevent Gaio from changing direction.

Bang!
He made a cross pass.

The ball was passed back to De Bruyne who was making a forward run.

Gaio attracted too much defensive attention, and De Bruyne's positioning was quite cunning, and he instantly seized an empty area in front of the penalty area.

De Bruyne pretends to shoot with his right foot!
This is his dominant foot.

Goalkeeper Agatha immediately prepared to save the ball, but De Bruyne did not choose to shoot. When his right foot was about to touch the ball, he shook his ankle and chose to pass the ball.

The football flew towards Lukaku who was making a forward run.

He was in the small penalty area and headed the football hard.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
In an instant, three consecutive voices rang out.

One is heading the football.

One is a football hitting an iron pole.

The next one is being hit on the head with a football.

Wow!

Bastia fans saw this ball and held their heads in regret. The ball went wide of the penalty area?!

Lukaku lay on the ground, his face full of question marks.

He also wanted to ask this question: Who installed this goalpost?! I wonder if they should move it a little further to the left.

De Bruyne shook his head somewhat.

Is Lukaku talented?
That must be strong.

It's just that this kid sometimes can't find the goal.

But you say he can't find the goal, yet he always appears in a position where he can score a goal.

De Bruyne was overwhelmed when he thought that Lukaku might be the starting center forward for Belgium in the future.

After Lukaku got up, he smiled embarrassedly at his teammates.

Thumbs up to De Bruyne.

Courtside.

Hagibegic has a love-hate relationship with Lukaku. He loves his impact but hates his finishing ability in front of the goal.

Can you score a goal?

Can enter.

But only a little bit can be injected, and most of the time it causes cerebral hemorrhage.

On the other side, Reims coach Fournier did not pay attention to Lukaku. Most of his attention was on Gaio.

Last season, when he was still in Ligue 2, his Reims was defeated by Gaio.

Just a few minutes into the game today, Gaio's attack almost caused Lance to lose the ball.

He shook his head and kicked hard.

But he knew that if multiple people double-teamed Gaio, it would leave others open, so he didn't dare to let Gaio go.

He didn't know how strong Bastia's new players were, but he had experienced Gaio's strength.

"Reims didn't invest much this summer, but they made significant changes to their squad through free transfers. In their first match, they lost 0-1 to Marseille at home. It's not going to be easy against Bastia either, as their starting lineup has also changed significantly compared to last season."

The commentary sounded on the TV.

This Bastia home game ranked second in the number of viewers of all Ligue 1 matches according to TF1's real-time statistics.

Second only to another Ligue 1 match also held in Corsica - Ajaccio at home against Paris Saint-Germain.

Most of the spectators at the Bastia match came to see Gaio. His performances for the national team and his style of play on the field had attracted many fans.

but,

Apart from the breakthrough in two minutes, Gaio did not have much room to perform.

Lance focused on defending the right side.

At least three people.

Fournier kept a low profile on the road, especially after losing in the first round.

Don't rush to attack, everything serves the purpose of defense.

Wow!

Bastia fans sighed, Lukaku shot the ball away again!
Hagibegic kept shaking his head as he watched. Gaio was given special attention, and other players had more chances, but Lukaku really knew how to waste opportunities.

However, Ilion, who was watching the game in the stands at this time, had a pretty good opinion of Lukaku.

He said to his colleague Voss, "Romelu can be the focus. Although he wasted a lot of opportunities, no one else would have had such opportunities. His footwork is quite delicate, but he is more suitable for defensive counterattacks. Bastia's pressing play is not in line with his style when he is asked to steal the ball."

Voss also nodded. "He's still a little immature and needs to continue to improve."

Then Voss pointed at Gaio and said, "Can he still return to Chelsea? He's not even potential right now, he's more of a ready-to-fight player."

Ilion shook his head, "It's impossible, he's not suitable for Chelsea. Chelsea has too many players who take up too much of the ball, and Gaio won't be comfortable playing there, and he doesn't want to go.

Judging from his situation in Bastia, he is reluctant to choose a team where he cannot become a core player. If a team wants to sign him, it must be to give him a core position before he has a chance, but it is difficult to give him such a guarantee in a big team."

He paused as he spoke, and Gaio caught the ball on the field.

"Let's watch the game. Don't think about it for now, Gaio. We are here to inspect the loan players."

Hey!
The fans exclaimed in unison.

In the penalty area on the right side, Gaio received a pass from his teammate Theoni, and facing Fofana, he kicked the ball.

Completely fooled Fofana.

Fofana took a step inside, and when he found that he was being shaken, he subconsciously stretched out his foot to intercept Gaio on the outside.

He moved left and right, his legs tied together, and he twisted his body and did a split on the spot.

Fofana grimaced, covered his inner thigh muscles and tried to get up immediately, but his long legs also had disadvantages, and he was slow to recover.

Gaio had already rushed out.

What made Gaio feel helpless was that Xioni's running position overlapped with his.

Gaio pointed to the outside line.

Xioni then quickly ran to the outside.

This scene also made Hajibegic see that Cioni was indeed lacking in Ligue 1.

Also, left winger Palmieri was unable to provide firepower.

The lineup still needs to be tested slowly.

He didn't have time to think too much.

Gaio ran forward with the help of Sioni, drawing Ka's defensive attention. He suddenly pushed his left foot outward and cut straight into the inside!

Ka failed to catch up with Gaio's first step, and when he tried to catch up again, he could no longer keep up with Gaio's pace.

Krechowiak immediately moved inward to block Gaio's route.

Gaio went towards Ka's position again.

He has a very fast pace.

The ball seemed to be stuck to his feet, like a butterfly flying through flowers, causing the fans at the scene to exclaim in surprise.

For Bastia fans, even if there was no goal, Gaio's stylish dribbling was worth the price of admission.

Ka didn't have time to make any defensive moves. He was still moving, his balance unstable, and he watched Gaio pass by.

Goalkeeper Agatha attacked, spreading his arms to expand the defensive area.

Gaio looked at Lukaku's position.

Just this one look.

Agassa couldn't help but worry about the situation in the middle.

Next second,
Bang!
Swish! !
