The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 32 Maybe Gaio can participate in the European Cup

"Both teams have already entered the field. For the time being, neither Rudi Garcia nor Hagibegic has chosen to make substitutions. Relatively speaking, Bastia is definitely the side with a greater psychological advantage. Lille's problem now is that they need to play effectively on the offensive end."

The commentary's words rang in the ears of the fans watching the French Cup broadcast.

Lille fans were very dissatisfied with the score.

"What kind of football is this? It's hard to believe the team has declined so quickly. We were the champions last season!"

"There's nothing we can do. We can't keep them. They've all left, and Hazard will be leaving at the end of the season too."

"Ugh"

The biggest regret for these Ligue 1 fans is that the team cannot retain players.

Almost all the players who come here regard Ligue 1 as a springboard to enter the other four leagues.

When Lille fans saw the Bastia players' celebration on TV and the close-up of Gaio.

Somewhat sour,

"The people of Bastia will lose Gaio too."

The broadcast camera gave Gaio a close-up of three full seconds.

In the first half, Gaio scored a goal, but the other goal also came from the opportunity created by his advancement.

This made him very popular among Bastia fans.

When seeing him, most fans will think of one word: a promising future.

"His future will not be in Bastia. I know that very well." Chatham and the Pierre couple chatted before the game started. Chatham treated the Gaio family with his usual sincerity.

Pierre shrugged. "We won't be involved in Gaio's affairs too much. When he comes of age, I won't even be his agent anymore. He should have his own choices, so I may not know his future either."

Chatham smiled and said, "Yes, Gaio is a child with his own ideas. He's great, but what I want to say is that although I'm reluctant to see him leave, he deserves a bigger stage! Bastia is not his final destination. This is just his starting point."

Chatham paused and stared at Pierre.

After a few seconds, he asked, "I think you know Gaio's talent. Do you think Gaio has a chance to make the national team? There's a big tournament like the European Championship this summer."

"National team?! European Cup?"

Pierre was completely confused by Chatham. Although he usually watched football and followed the national team's European Cup qualifiers, he never thought that Gaio would have any connection with the national team and the European Cup.

After all, Gaio's condition has been very unstable in recent years, and he can't even play football.

Previously, when Gaio was still playing for Chelsea, he was also selected for the French national team U17, but due to his personality problems and conflicts with his teammates, he did not have the opportunity to play.

Chatham didn't continue. He pointed to the court and said, "The game has begun."

All three of them turned their gaze towards the court.

They didn't speak to each other, each of them had their own thoughts.

Chatham was not asking this casually. There is the European Cup this summer. With Gaio's current performance, if he can continue, he may really have a chance to participate in the European Cup.

Of course, he can only be a substitute, and may not even be able to play.

For Chatham, don’t worry about whether he played or not, just ask whether he made the roster.

By then, Bastia will have more say in the transfer fee.

This is a French international!
However, Chatham also knows that if Gaio wants to attract the attention of the current French team coach Blanc, he needs to show more strength.

The French Cup is the best opportunity!

Chatham thought about it and decided that he might have to give Hajibegic additional tasks - to go as far as possible in the French Cup and to develop tactics around Gaio.

In fact, Chatham thinks that if Gaio really joins the national team, it would even be a good fit. The national team has big center forwards like Giroud and Benzema. Gaio has space to break through and will have many opportunities.

As I thought about it, time passed by.

Bastia fans were frightened by Lille's fierce attacks at the beginning of the second half.

Fortunately, the iron-blooded defense of the Bastia players made them feel at ease.

However, what Bastia thinks is iron-blooded, in the eyes of Lille fans, is dirty!

"Ah! This isn't even a yellow card?!"

"This game was too much." "If Hazard hadn't been tackled to death on the field, would the referee have given no card?!"

Lille fans angrily cursed.

However, the Bastia fans near the away team area will not tolerate them.

"What about when you guys shoveled Gaio?!"

"Hasn't Gaio been subjected to all these little tricks by you? You can't just talk about fairness when you're the one who benefits!"

Fans of both sides are competing with each other.

The players on the field are also competing.

The more Hazard saw the opponent defending him so densely, the more he wanted to break open their shells.

So I kept dribbling the ball and tried to cooperate with the opponent to get the ball out in a small area.

But he failed again.

When Kahusac and Rothen double-teamed him, defender Mari rushed over and kicked the ball.

Then Mali made a straight pass.

The ball was passed to Gaio who retreated to receive the ball.

clap clap clap!
As soon as Gaio got the ball, the fans on the sidelines burst into applause and cheers.

This is simply star treatment.

Gaio advanced quickly.

Just as he had crossed the center line, Hazard, who had been intercepted, chased back to defend and made a flying tackle from the side, knocking him down with the ball.

drop! !

The referee blew the whistle immediately.

Gaio clutched his calf.

Bastia fans on the sidelines were shouting insults and were very angry.

Hazard realized that he had lost his temper, and quickly came over to pat Gaio and apologized in French.

Hazard was born in La Louvière in the Wallonia region of Belgium, only ten kilometers away from France. It is a typical French-speaking city and his mother tongue is French.

This is also why his name is Hazard, not Hazard, because his name is pronounced according to French.

Gaio waved his hand.

He refused Hazard's attempt to pull him up, but instead lay on the ground, covering his feet and signaling his teammates to call the team doctor.

Who doesn’t know how to use the skill of lying in the grass?

And Gaio knew that he had to play the whole game, so he took this opportunity to rest.

Reasonable allocation of physical energy is also an important skill in playing football.

The referee still did not give a card this time, but he warned Hazard that if he made such a big move, he would get a card next time.

Hazard shrugged and pointed at his socks, which had been stepped on and had a hole in them.

The referee ignored it.

While urging Bastia's team doctor to hurry up, he looked at the time on his watch.

The Lille players were a little unhappy when they saw the Bastia team doctor was dawdling.

They went to the referee one by one and said that the game was wasting time.

At the urging of Lille players, the team doctor "quickly" completed the work and took Gaio out of the sidelines.

The game continues.

Hagibegic on the sidelines looked at the time and saw that it was 63 minutes, and nodded slightly. This time, Gaio delayed the team for two minutes.

But he was still nervous, "There's still half an hour left."
