The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 171 Hat Trick
Snapped!
There was a sound of breaking glass.

Martin slapped his chest and shouted, "That's fucking awesome! Gio! It has to be Gio!"

Others echoed.

"Gaio's ability is clearly a notch above the others. Yilan is completely inadequate to support the attack on the right side."

"No one can be Gaio's substitute because the difference is too great. If we had another strong left winger to play alongside Gaio on both wings, no one in Ligue 1 would be able to stop us. It's a pity that the team has no money to buy more players."

They can't recall a player called Sadio Mane.

Inside the stadium.

Hagibegic and the assistant coaches hugged each other and said, "The team will fall apart without Gaio."

Galtier shook his head, but there was still determination in his eyes, and he signaled to the players: Continue attacking.

He knows.

It is difficult to defend against a team like Bastia. It is better to take advantage of the weaknesses in Bastia's defense and attack repeatedly.

It depends on who can’t hold on first.

drop!
The game continues.

After Saint-Etienne kicked off, they continued to attack Bastia's defense.

Kante and Rothen's frontal defense in the middle made Saint-Etienne feel the intensity of the defense as early as the first half.

So Saint-Etienne continued to attack Bastia's flank defense.

Also, hit directly behind!

Bang!
Cohad took the ball and kicked it directly to Aubameyang in the middle.

Fortunately, Joplin headed the ball away.

Aubameyang sprinted back and forth repeatedly to attack Bastia's defense line.

After Bastia got the ball, they mainly relied on De Bruyne and Gaio's attack.

The left side is relatively empty.

This is normal when Bastia attacks, so Sidibe made several passes to help the attack.

But with little success.

The real threat comes from Gaio.

Wow!
In the 64th minute, Gaio seized the opportunity to cut inside and shot into the far corner, which hit the post and flew out of the bottom line.

This is very sad for Bastia fans.

"It was just a little bit off. Gaio's shot was high enough. Brisson did have some interference on Gaio, otherwise Gaio could have played more comfortably."

The commentary sounded on the TV.

Deschamps and Zidane, in different countries but almost at the same time, felt sorry for Gaio's goal.

Zidane actually sees that Gaio still has a lot of room for improvement.

He finally understood that the reason why Gaio would rather pass the goalkeeper than shoot directly so many times was probably because his shooting ability was not that strong.

but,

That hook just now was really cool.

But compared to those top shooters, Gaio still has room for improvement in shooting.

Gaio's current goal efficiency is still quite high and he has scored quite a few goals, but this is all based on the fact that he has a lot of ball possession and unlimited firing rights.

This is also why Zidane feels that Gaio should not go to a top club at the moment.

Because he is a wealthy club, no one will give him so much ball possession.

Even Mourinho meant that Gaio had to have defensive capabilities.

Defense,

It is also Gaio's biggest weakness.

However, these "defects" of Gaio are nothing in Zidane's eyes.

What is a genius? Is it omnipotence?

Do not!
Never!
In Zidane's eyes, a first-class football player is not afraid of having shortcomings, but is afraid of having no characteristics.

Mediocrity is a flaw.

"Romelu! Buuutttt!! Beautiful escape, beautiful shot." Zidane was still thinking about Gaio, when Lukaku scored a goal on TV.

He received a pass from De Bruyne, and in the penalty area, facing Zouma's defense, he played a fried meatball, created space, and shot from a small angle to score.

Bastia equalized!
Lukaku rushed out of the field laughing, jumped high and waved his arms in celebration, and after landing, he opened his arms towards the stands.

This time,
What he received was thunderous cheers from the Bastia fans.

Although it was not as intense as when Gaio scored the goal, he still felt a power flowing through his body.

That's why he loves football.

He can gain confidence and recognition from others from football!

Recognition is something very important to Lukaku.

Scored two goals in a row.

Bastia fans went crazy and sang the team song in the stands.

Chatham was in the stands, laughing so hard that he even had the urge to stand up and shout, "He signed all these players."

beside him.

Jerónimo looked at the surging blue ocean in the stadium, feeling excited and shouting “good” several times in succession.

The corners of my eyes were a little wet.

"This is the Bastia I want to see. This money was well spent!"

Chatham heard Jeronimo's words and laughed, "Mr. Chairman, if you can get more money from the bank, we can do better."

"Haha," Jerónimi was in a good mood at the moment, but when it came to money, he threw up his hands. "It's difficult, unless we can be sure that the team will enter the Europa League knockout stage by the winter transfer window, and then it depends on how many wins we get in the group stage. If things go well, I can continue to take out loans during the winter transfer window based on the team's expected returns. If..."

Jerome shook his head and didn't say anything else.

But the meaning is clear.

If we are eliminated from the Europa League early, then we will have nothing.

Chatham nodded. "Your words are enough!"

Reaching the Europa League means every victory is money - each team can get a guaranteed bonus of 64 euros. Each win in a single game will get 14 euros, and a draw will get 7 euros.

If you win all six group stage games, you can accumulate up to 184 million euros!
For big teams, this is just a drop in the bucket, but for a team like Bastia.

A bonus of nearly two million euros is enough for them to bring in a strong defender.

and,

晋级32强可20万欧元；随后每次晋级，分别可再获得30万欧元、40万欧元、70万欧元。

The champion will receive 300 million euros and the runner-up will receive 200 million euros.

The total prize money cap can reach up to 644 million euros.

Of course this is a complete victory situation.

Chatham didn't have such a beautiful dream. He just wanted the team to enter the knockout stage.

If he gives the team another one or two million in budget for the winter transfer window, he can bring a more reliable goalkeeper to the team.

Novis, it really can't be done.

Wow!

While he was talking to Jerónimo, he just said that Novis was not good enough and made another mistake!

Bastia's attack in the frontcourt was interrupted.

Saint-Etienne kicked the ball directly towards Bastia's half, Novesh attacked from outside the penalty area, and Aubameyang rushed up to compete for the header.

Noveis was shorter than Aubameyang and failed to head the ball.

Aubameyang headed the ball towards the penalty area.

Then Aubameyang quickly chased and scored into the empty goal.

Saint-Etienne takes the lead again!

Bastia fans felt devastated.

But it's not over yet.

In the 73rd minute, Aubameyang's hat trick came.
