The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 188 Money-Driven Football Isn't Always So Effective
Gaio fell to the ground, grimacing. During a high-speed sprint, even a simple physical collision can easily cause a fall, let alone Silva's "take-down".

Gaio felt that his arms were not fully extended when he fell due to the struggle with Silva, and his shoulders were twisted.

It's very likely a sprain.

The team doctor arrived promptly to conduct an examination.

Courtside.

Whether it was Haji Begic or Chatham and Jeronimi in the stands, they all looked somewhat nervous.

As I said before, Bastia can do without anyone, but they absolutely cannot do without Gaio.

Today, Gaio is the soul of Bastia!

"Geo!"

"Geo!!"

As Gaio underwent examination, the entire stadium chanted his name, and many people prayed for him.

Fans didn't know what had happened, but everyone knew that Gaio wasn't an iron man; he had suffered many injuries.

at this time,

The fans no longer cared about the red card the referee showed on the field, nor about the anger of the Parisians.

Their entire focus was on Gaio.

"How about it?"

The team doctor sprayed Gaio with ethyl chloride aerosol and gave Gaio some pain relief.

"It hurts a bit." Gaio felt the condition of his shoulder and looked at his injury log.

[Mild sprain of left shoulder joint: Estimated recovery time 8 days.]

It wasn't a major injury, but it hurt a lot.

"Does he/she need to leave the field?" the team doctor asked again.

Gaio shook his head.

He can't be substituted in this match. As long as he's in the attacking third, PSG won't dare to launch a full-scale attack. At least he can pose a threat to their defense.

and,

Paris Saint-Germain are now down to ten men.

Ibrahimovic kept arguing with the referee and was given a yellow card.

Ibrahimovic smiled helplessly and gave a thumbs up.

Gaio pulled De Bruyne to his feet with his right hand.

Seeing that Gaio was alright, the fans breathed a sigh of relief and applauded him.

The team doctor, however, did not look so happy.

He knew that Gaio was persevering, and that the injury was not as easy as Gaio made it out to be.

Bastia's long-range free kick.

It was played like a regular ball.

Even with a one-man advantage, Bastia did not launch a major attack, but instead focused on deep defense, supplemented by a small number of counter-attacking players in the frontcourt.

The football came to Gaio's feet.

However, he could clearly feel pain in his shoulder when dribbling, which affected his dribbling.

Facing Maxwell's marking, Gaio passed the ball back.

This was just a minor scene in the game.

The winger has no chance with the ball, so he passes it back.

but,

This doesn't make much sense when applied to Gaio.

Maxwell was the only one marking him closely; Verratti wasn't in position yet. Normally, Gaio would have charged straight in.

Many fans are starting to worry.

"Gaio is injured again." Zidane shook his head.

Gaio's talent is beyond doubt.

However, as many media outlets have questioned, Gaio seems to have a tendency towards glass.

"The intensity of the competition will only increase, so perhaps he could try to build muscle to improve his ability to compete," Deschamps said helplessly.

Zidane directly denied it, saying, "Risking himself to gain muscle would not only cause him to lose his current flair, but could even increase his risk of injury. He's still too young to gain muscle."

There are many such examples.

Building muscle not only eliminates the original agility advantage, but also increases the burden on the body, leading to more injuries.

Three minutes later.

Bastia made a substitution on the sidelines.

Number 10, Gaio, is substituted.

Lukaku, number 9, came on. Gaião looked somewhat helpless as he was substituted; he could have continued.

clap clap clap!
The entire stadium rose to their feet, applauding and cheering for Gaio.

He has done enough in this game.

The TF1 commentator said, "Gaio was probably still affected by that fall, and may have suffered a minor injury. Bastia didn't take the risk and substituted him."

Fans watching the broadcast were hurling insults at Silva for the foul he had just committed.

The Europa League match is just around the corner, and Gaio got injured.

Sunset Cafe Bistro.

Martin looked somewhat dejected. "We're going to play an away game in the Czech Republic in three days, and it'll be difficult for Gaio to get playing time."

"Ugh."

Everyone was sighing and lamenting, showing none of the joy of being in the lead.

On the field.

Rothen told Gaio, "Get some rest. We're still here for this game."

Gaio's teammates on the way also gave him high-fives.

To the sidelines.

Lukaku and Gaio hugged. "Now it's my turn."

Hagi Bejic quickly came over, "Shoulder problems are serious. Don't push yourself. Even if we lose one game, it's okay, but we can't lose you."

Hagi Begitch explained to Gaio why he was being substituted.

Gao understands.

The team doctor quickly took Gaio into the locker room to treat his shoulder injury.

Hey!
As Gaio walked to the entrance of the passage, the entire audience gasped in surprise.

Turn around and look.

Lukaku slipped on his first pressing attempt.
Paris Saint-Germain are down to ten men.

Bastia Gaio was forced to leave the game due to injury.

The match had become quite brutal at this point.

The fans gasped in surprise.

Despite playing with one less player, PSG maintained the initiative and, with Pastore, Verratti, and others linking up, continued to launch attacks on Bastia.

Bastia even forced Lukaku to retreat deeply at this point.

Can you hold it?

This is what all Bastia fans think.

The broadcast camera then focused on the bench, where Gaio received treatment from the team doctor in the locker room and had an ice pack wrapped around his left shoulder.

"Without Gaio, our attack relies entirely on speed. Neither Mane nor Lukaku has Gaio's technique. Sigh."

Bastia fans were somewhat disappointed.

But some people were encouraged.

"Look at it from another angle. The fact that we, a newly promoted team, were able to push a French giant like Paris Saint-Germain to this point shows that we have unlimited potential this season, doesn't it?"

Time passed gradually.

Bastia's counterattacks became fewer and fewer, and by the seventy-minute mark, everyone felt their physical condition was nearing its limit.

Bang!
Verratti unleashed a low shot from the edge of the penalty area, but Kahusac made a flying tackle to block it.

After blocking the shot, Kahusaz instinctively braced himself on the ground, trying to get up, but then saw his teammate being fouled by a Paris player while in possession of the ball.

He simply lay down on the ground for a while.

Pointing to his own leg.

Angula walked over recently, "Did you smoke?"

"Ah."

With only simple words, Angula lifted Kahusaz's leg and pressed it down hard.

On the other side, Rothen, who had been fouled and fallen to the ground, was also clutching his ankle.

tragic.

This is what all the fans watching this game think.

When PSG's possession turned into a dark cloud covering the Cesarian stadium.

Every Bastia player pinned themselves near the penalty area line, using sliding tackles, headers, and even their teeth to tear apart every inch of space.

There is no elegance, only survival.

this moment,
Many neutral fans suddenly hoped that Bastia could win this match.

Let Paris Saint-Germain know that sometimes money-driven football isn't so effective.
