The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 53: A few years later, he is still the player I want to sign
When Gaio cut into the inside, Chamberlain immediately chased after him.

Chamberlain's positive attitude was recognized by Wenger.

As a player that Wenger bought from Saints for 1380 million euros this season, the opportunities he got at Arsenal are not few, but not many either.

Wenger learned a painful lesson from overusing Fabregas, Wilshere and others, so he deliberately protected him.

Even a little overprotective.

The mid-season was Chamberlain's best period, as his excellent dribbling skills were rarely seen in the Arsenal squad, especially after Nasri left. Unfortunately, starting in January, under Wenger's overprotection, his form declined due to lack of playing time.

This can also be seen from today's U21 game.

His performance was completely overshadowed by Liverpool's Henderson.

Chamberlain actively returned to defense and chased Gaio from the side, trying to stop Gaio.

When Gaio saw Chamberlain and Lansbury coming to defend in the middle, he made another quick stop.

When Chamberlain rushed in front of him, Gaio pushed the ball to the right with his left foot. Chamberlain immediately moved to the right to prevent Gaio from going down the right side. There was no defensive player on his right side for the time being.

Danny Rose was taken away by France U21's full-back Kolcha.

However, the moment he moved, his center of gravity shifted, and Gaio's right foot moved back along the bottom edge of the football, and the football was immediately pulled back.

Chamberlain stopped without thinking, and at this time he was already trying to pull Gaio.

In just two moves, Chamberlain could see that Gaio's dribbling ability was far superior to his.

When dealing with players with strong dribbling ability, you have to foul them in advance.

but,

As soon as he stopped, Gaio kicked the ball with his right foot, and the ball was pushed back to the right again.

And this time the force was greater, the football was pushed away one step, leaving room for Gaio to sprint.

Chamberlain started again.

In a short period of time, Gaio's continuous actions caused Chamberlain's center of gravity to move back and forth, and he was already in chaos!

"good chance!"

Gaio thought for a moment and took advantage of his fast pace to rush two steps from the right.

As Chamberlain barely kept up.

Gaio made a sudden stop, then dribbled back, and pushed the ball to the left with his left foot.

The whole person rushed over from the left.

Chamberlain tried to retreat with force, but his center of gravity was disturbed, his supporting foot lost its footing, and he slipped to the ground.

Wow!

This also surprised the players on the sidelines, including Wenger, who was shocked by Gaio's continuous feints in a short period of time.

Gaio actually knocked down a Premier League player!

In Wenger's opinion, Gaio's series of feints were actually not difficult.

The difficulty is that Gaio is very fast.

Very effective.

This reminded Wenger of the unprecedented Spanish team that won six championships in the past two years, and the Ballon d'Or winner, Leo Messi.

He has similarities with Gaio, with many fake moves and a fast pace.

But there is a height difference of almost 20 cm between them!

Wenger could hardly imagine that such a large winger could have such high-frequency footwork. Once he trained his physical strength, confrontation, etc., who could stop him?

He didn't have time to think, he stared at Gaio, not willing to let go for even a second.

Chamberlain slipped, and a huge vacuum area appeared around Gaio.

Goalkeeper Bartram focused all his attention on Gaio, watching him rush into the penalty area.

Lansbury, and Martin Kelly, one on the left and one in front, intended to block Gaio.

Gaio looked at Martin Kelly in front of him and seemed to be about to break through him, but his ankle shook. No look pass!

The ball passed between Lansbury's legs. Lacazette is very capable in the middle, not tall but very strong.

He held off Caulker and received the pass from Gaio.

Lansbury immediately turned around and looked at Lacazette, and Martin Kelly was also stunned.

At this moment, without Gaio asking for the ball, Lacazette passed the ball straight behind Martin Kelly.

Behind him, a blue figure appeared!

Gaio!

Bang!
He rushed through Kelly's defense at full speed, received the ball one step ahead, and before Bartland could attack, he took a low shot and once again penetrated Bartland's small goal.

Swish!
Football in the net!

clap clap clap!
The players and coaches of the French U21 team on the sidelines all applauded Gaio's performance. They were really stunned. During Gaio's operation, they couldn't help but hold their breath and dared not breathe. They were completely relieved when they saw the ball enter the net.

The players on the field also rushed over to celebrate with Gaio.

Although they had never played football with Gaio before, who wasn't a genius? Just looking at Gaio's series of actions, it was clear that he was no ordinary person.

Griezmann, and Lacazette, who were closest to him, came over and hugged Gaio.

"That's so beautiful, brother! Your moves dazzled me and I don't know how to respond to you." Griezmann said.

"You are late. If you had joined the team last year, we could still compete for the European Youth Championship." Lacazette also had a smile on his face.

Gaio responded simply with a smile.

Soon, Varane and other defenders also arrived.

"Gaio, this is your moment to perform." Varane hugged Gaio and added, "Now I understand why Zinedine is so optimistic about you. I was standing far away just now. If I didn't know it was you playing football, I would have thought it was Ronaldinho."

Then Gaio and other teammates hugged and high-fived each other to celebrate.

On the England U21 side, it was a bit solemn to see Gaio playing with the entire wing by himself.

Pierce was frowning at first, but in a moment, he was relieved.

"Belgium U21 doesn't have such a monster."

Their opponent is Belgium U21.

After seeing the score was equalized, he replaced Lansbury with Shelvey.

In Pierce's heart, he still thinks that Liverpool's players are more reliable. In this U21 roster, there are the most Liverpool and Arsenal players.

There's nothing we can do about it, because the local youth training of these two teams is relatively better.

At the same time, Manchester United young striker Will Keane was replaced by Zaha, who had not performed well so far.

On the high platform.

Wenger couldn't help but punch the air to celebrate Gaio's goal. He really couldn't help it.

Even Gaio's background was made up of Arsenal players - Chamberlain and Lansbury.

Both sides replaced their generals.

As a result, less than ten minutes after France U21 equalized the score, France U21 scored again!
Gaio attracted four defenders on the right, then he passed the ball out, Griezmann assisted Lacazette to score.

France U21 took the lead!
Wenger's attention was always on Gaio. This goal made him realize that Gaio was not thinking about breaking through the opponent just because of his excellent dribbling ability.

Many players with excellent dribbling skills have this kind of stubbornness.

They are sticky to the ball, easily lose possession of the ball, and may even behave irrationally when they get carried away.

But Gaio didn't.

Watching the French U21 players celebrate, Wenger's eyes always wandered on Gaio.

With a smile, he turned to Patles and said, "After a few years, he is still the player I want to sign."

Wenger's eyes were burning.

Henry, Bergkamp, ​​Van Persie, Fabregas, Arshavin, Wilshere. No matter which era, Wenger always pursues technology and cooperation as the yardstick.

In Gaio's eyes, this is simply the best puzzle piece for beautiful football.
