The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 49: National Team Report, Back to Clairefontaine
Gaio felt warm at heart when he saw his teammates' expressions.

In the past few seasons, Bastia's team management was chaotic, player relationships fell apart, and they were eventually relegated.

Then, with the return of a famous player like Chatham, a series of major cleanups, signings, and veterans joining the team, they made a desperate effort to win the French League championship and bring Bastia back to Ligue 2.

This season, the team has been victorious all the way and has reached the top of the league table with united efforts.

A stable locker room is the foundation of a team.

The French team, and even national teams such as the Netherlands and Belgium, have top players and the greatest expectations of fans, but they also give the greatest disappointment because of the divisions and confrontations in the locker rooms.

There are countless fun things to see from the internal conflicts among these national teams.

It has become a fine tradition.

Although the team is now extremely united, Gaio does not think his teammates should do this - give the penalty to him.

He has no intention of disrupting the current order of the team.

Gaio replied: "No, if it takes a lot of penalties to get the Golden Boot, then I don't need it. I will work hard to score goals for the team and myself, so there is no need for penalties. Besides, I am not very good at taking penalties, so don't waste the opportunity."

The team's captain, Rothen, patted Gaio on the shoulder and said with satisfaction, "Good boy, you have ambition!

Come on in the next games, I will try my best to feed you the ball. In more than ten games, winning the French Ligue 2 Golden Boot without any penalties is a great achievement! "

the next day.

The media in Bastia continued to report Bastia's victory and Gaio's stable performance in great detail.

This is the happiest moment for the people of Bastia in recent years.

It's good news for the team every week.

Every week fans look forward to the next game.

This is a feeling I haven't had in the past few years.

When the fans get together, the topic always revolves around the team's performance. When talking about the team and Gaio, the people of Bastia always speak with pride.

Some fans even said, "Ajaccio better not get relegated this season. Wait until we get promoted to Ligue 1, and then we'll see how we deal with them!"

"Yes! They were always so arrogant before, now let's see if they dare to touch us!"

The Corsica Derby is one of the most important matches for the people of Bastia.

While having breakfast, Gaio glanced at the newspaper. There were serious reports, as well as some fabricated transfer rumors and player gossip.

Newspapers outside of Bastia will report negative news about him in the past.

Some newspapers even called him a criminal.

Gaio didn't care and looked at the place of issuance, Lance.

Well, I'm a little upset about losing last night.

Gaio trained alone in the morning.

After yesterday's game, Hagibegic gave the players a rare day off.

The next French Ligue 2 match will start on March 3nd, with an away game against Bologna.

Bolegny is not strong and has been a frequent visitor to the relegation zone since the beginning of the season.

One of the teams most likely to be relegated this season.

Last October, Bastia beat Boregrini 3-1 at home.

As long as the team performs normally, there will be no problem in defeating the opponent twice.

When Gaio finished training, Hagibegic found him and told him, "You will not be included in the squad for the next league game."

Gaio was curious.

Then, Hajibegic said, "During the international match day in early March, the U21 national team sent an email to the team and should have contacted your agent as well. They want you to report to the U21 team the day after tomorrow to participate in two U21 friendly matches in early March. They also asked for our opinion. After all, you have league tasks, but Chatham and I both think that the next opponent is relatively weak, so it might be better to let you go to the national team to adapt."

"it is good."

Gaio nodded. He didn't expect that he would be promoted to U21 and start the game so soon.

Although there are no winning points in friendly matches, even if we win against a team like Bologna, we will probably only get five or ten points at most.

It’s better to go to U21 to make your presence felt.

Moreover, the intensity of this kind of friendly matches is never very high. After all, they are not A-level friendly matches like the first-team ones.

Hagibegic continued, "Don't get injured when you join the national team. Be careful with your movements. Don't get so excited or impulsive sometimes. Be smart. Too many forwards blossom for a moment and then quickly wither. I hope your career can last longer."

Hajibegic pointed at himself and said, "Anyone who tried to catch me back then would have been kicked by me. Gaio, don't think you can recover quickly from injuries just because you're young. Always remember, the lifespan of being kicked is always shorter than the one who kicks you."

Gaio knew that this was Hagibegic giving him special treatment. On the court, being lazy is also a skill.

----

It was still a little chilly outside in Clairefontaine at the end of February.

Mbappé sat on a bench behind the gates of Clairefontaine with his classmate from Clairefontaine, Alan Mommegué.

From time to time, there were players from various levels of the national team entering Clairefontaine in front of them.

In addition to being the cradle of French football talents, Clairefontaine is also the training base for French teams at all levels.

"Who are you waiting for? It's so cold. It's much more comfortable inside the house." Momeg didn't understand why Mbappe came here so early in the morning, and asked him, "He was just waiting for someone."

Clairefontaine groups the new players who come in each year into a separate group.

Mommegu and Mbappé are in the same group, and both are currently at the bottom of the group, so they are naturally closer.

Mbappé has been at Clairefontaine for almost a year and is indeed having a bit of a depressing time.

He came to Clairefontaine from Bondy, but his success was not as great as his parents had expected.

There are geniuses here.

He is still not fully adapted, which results in him not performing well in various competitions.

It was nothing at first, but after meeting that guy named Gaio, especially after watching Gaio's game.

The sense of gap comes.

"I'm waiting for a guy from Corsica who has entered the U21." Mbappe didn't know why he wanted to see Gaio again.

Perhaps, after learning about Gaio's experience, I admire him even more and want to get to know him better?

He couldn't tell.

But when a thirteen-year-old child, at a point of confusion, sees a successful example of a child of the same age, he can't help but want to learn and get closer.

"Napoleon?"

Mommegu had no idea who Mbappe was talking about. To him, Corsica was only known as Napoleon.

Mbappé nodded, "yes, he might become Napoleon and sweep across the European continent"

"Hey! Killian."

Just as Mbappé and Momège were talking, an impressive voice was heard.

Mbappé saw Gaio smiling and waving at him.

He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved, "He still remembers me."
