The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 54 Mbappé's Dream of Becoming a King

on the field.

The England U21 players are really helpless against Gaio.

It is impossible to defend one-on-one without committing a foul. If you double-team him, it will give Griezmann and others a lot of space.

Fortunately, this is just a friendly match.

After Eric Montbael took the lead, he quickly made substitutions, replacing Coquelin, Griezmann and Lacazette.

Substitute other players and go play.

After all, friendly matches are not about scores and wins.

The others were obviously much less capable than Griezmann and Lacazette, and Gaio created many chances through breakthroughs, but his teammates in the middle were unable to seize them.

In the end, Sterling scored twice as France U21 intentionally left players out.

England U21 and France U21 shook hands and made peace.

A friendly match is not about fighting and killing.

After the final whistle, familiar players from both teams will greet each other.

Henderson and Sterling both wanted to chat with Gaio, but Gaio didn't understand English at all and could only understand a few of the most common sentences.

Although he had joined Chelsea, Gaio had no intention of studying at that time.

Cochran had to help translate it.

Oh.

Suddenly the crowd became restless and Wenger strode onto the field, greeted the coaches of both teams and some of the players.

Finally he walked in front of Gaio.

This scene was seen by the French U21 players, and many of them felt a little sour, as if they had eaten a lemon.

It was obvious that Gaio's performance in just the first half was appreciated by Wenger.

The friendly French voice resounds in the land of England.

"See you again, Gaio. We met when we were in Lille, but then you went to Chelsea."

Wenger's voice was gentle.

Gaio looked at the old man who was much taller than him. He raised his head slightly and looked through his glasses. Behind his glasses were deep and clear eyes - far less cloudy than those of other 62-year-old men.

This is not the first time Gaio has met Wenger.

It was the first time he met Wenger.

Unlike what he looks like on the screen, the person standing in front of me, who is just over 1.9 meters tall, looks quite oppressive.

It is difficult to combine the temperament of a refined scholar with the physique of an athlete.

Wenger did it.

"I'm sorry, but Chelsea gave more money. My family needed money at that time and my younger brothers and sisters needed to go to school." Gaio stated the core reason.

Chelsea offered the highest price at that time.

And until now, he has been terminated by Chelsea, but Chelsea is still paying for his younger brother and sister's studies in Paris.

Chelsea promised to let them complete their studies.

Wenger sighed secretly. In recent years, Arsenal has basically relied on his personal charm to recruit players and find young talents. In terms of money, it is difficult for him to promise too much to Gaio.

Arsenal's debt is all supported by this 1.9-meter-tall man.

Wenger saw that the other members of the France U21 team were ready. He knew he couldn't delay Gaio for too long, so he directly stated his purpose. "You rejected Arsenal once last time. Are you still interested in coming to Arsenal? Perhaps in the summer transfer window we can try to bring you here and you can play in the Premier League."

Although Gaio knew Wenger's general purpose, when he really heard this.

My heartbeat still accelerated involuntarily.

Arsenal, Wenger, these words combined together are very attractive to any player.

but,
Gaio shook his head.

He looked Wenger straight in the eye. "I'm not considering a transfer for now. It was Bastia that gave me the opportunity to escape from the abyss of decline. I will only consider my future after I successfully lead the team to promotion to the Bundesliga. I can't give you an answer now. I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize, you are a good boy. Work hard and achieve your goals. Arsenal's door is always open for you. When you want to leave Corsica and leave France, feel free to find me."

When Wenger came to find Gaio, he already had a thorough understanding of Gaio's deeds over the years, and Bastia did have the grace to give him a new life.

He took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Gaio, "My personal number."

Gaio took it and nodded.

Wenger smiled kindly, "Go and reunite with your teammates quickly. Don't keep them waiting."

"Okay, goodbye Mr. Wenger!"

"Goodbye Gaio."

As Gaio was about to leave, Wenger added, "You played well today."

Gaio smiled and waved to Wenger, then turned and caught up with his teammates, who were about to pack up and return to Paris.

After Gaio returned to the team, Griezmann, Varane and other teammates rushed over.

"Hey, hey, what did Wenger tell you? Did he want you to join Arsenal?"

"Tell us quickly, oh my god, you are actually noticed by Wenger."

Gaio didn't hide it.

"Well, Wenger wants me to move to Arsenal in the summer."

"Have you agreed?" Varane was a little anxious. He was still thinking that Gaio could transfer to Real Madrid and play brotherly football with him in Real Madrid.

Zidane is so optimistic about Gaio, Varane really thinks Gaio is also going to join Real Madrid.

Gaio shook his head.

Varane breathed a sigh of relief.

But what Gaio said next made him nervous again, "I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe I will make a decision after Bastia and I enter Ligue 1."

The other players were a little envious of Gaio, as he was about to take off.

At the age of 17, he entered the French U21 team and was invited by Wenger.

The future is promising!
Varane made a decision silently and decided to talk to Zidane when he returned to Madrid to see if Gaio could also be signed to Real Madrid.

He wants to play brotherly football with Gaio in Madrid.

The entire French U21 team boarded a plane to Paris at six o'clock in the afternoon.

On the plane, the players were a little tired and drowsy.

Gaio, on the other hand, was very energetic.

Thinking back to Wenger's words in his mind, he did not regret rejecting Wenger again.

He is aware of his own strength.

I'm not qualified enough to go to the top league.

What he needs most now is competition.

and,

When he arrives at a team like Arsenal, the various pressures he faces will be doubled, and the key is that he will no longer have the tactical inclinations of Bastia.

There are too many examples of core players from small teams becoming mediocre in the big teams and only being able to watch the water dispenser.

He will join a big team, but only when he is good enough to become a starter.

Gaio looked out the window at the golden clouds.

Thoughts are scattered.

the next day.

When the French U21 team was preparing for another friendly match, Montbare suddenly announced a piece of news - the match against Lithuania U21 in two days was cancelled.

"From now until March 10th, everyone will train at the base. There will be no games. You can move freely in Clairefontaine, but I don't want to see anyone leave Clairefontaine and go anywhere. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Gaio looked at Griezmann who was shouting enthusiastically beside him, and his mind emerged that Griezmann was punished by the French Football Association - a 13-month ban from all levels of the French national team - precisely because he went out to a nightclub to have fun during the national team training camp.

That incident also directly led to Eric Montbael's dismissal.

However, now that he is here, this incident will most likely not happen again.

The U21 training is generally easy.

After each day's training, Gaio would practice on his own silently.

The more games he played, the more he realized that his current attributes were far from enough.

On the 8th, Gaio took time out to have dinner with Mbappé.

Mbappé has obviously regarded Gaio as a big friend.

After dinner, I took Gaio to his dormitory.

There are posters of many Real Madrid stars on the walls, most of which are of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo.

"Is this your favorite team?" Gaio asked Mbappé while looking at the posters.

"Yes! My future goal is to play for Real Madrid! It's the best club!"
