The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 71 was kicked down!

Avignon-Arles is a city in southeastern France.

Arles' home stadium, the Annecy Sports Parc, with a capacity of more than 10,000 people, was packed.

But the fans of Arles went from cheering to silence - only twenty minutes had passed.

Arles 0-2 Bastia.

This small Mediterranean town was once known as the "Little Rome of the Gauls", and this small Rhone River town witnessed Van Gogh's painting "Sunflowers".

At this moment, it is just like the lazy afternoon sunshine.

Silently.

Arles head coach Cruchet shook his head helplessly after seeing Maolida receive an assist from Gaio and score the goal.

He knew Gaio was strong.

Players were also arranged to specifically mark Gaio, but when he saw that Gaio was able to bring the ball out from the encirclement of three people and pass it in the direction of Maolida.

He was desperate.

So that's why after Transfermarkt updated the latest market values ​​of French league players, Gaio was far ahead of others.

Gaio's value this time shocked the entire French Ligue 2.

after all,

The total market value of most French Ligue 2 teams is only between 20 million and 50 million.

Gaio alone costs 30 million!
His value may be due to his youth and potential.

But Cruchet also witnessed the strength in this game.

The first goal came from Gaio attracting a large number of defensive players on the right, and then Davide and Rothen cooperated on the right, and finally Rothen scored the goal.

The second goal was the ultimate display of Gaio's personal ability.

One pass to three players and one assist.

The Arles fans at home were a little disappointed with the team's performance.

Some fans even held up signs that read: "On est montés pour redescendre!"

We move up, only to come down.

This refers to the fact that Arles finished third in Ligue 2 two years ago, defeating the third-to-last team in Ligue 1 that season in two rounds of matches, setting a record in team history and also a record for the team in the entire Avignon region.

Last season, it became the first team from the Avignon region to participate in the top league.

At that time, the fans in Arles were extremely excited.

In addition, the Avignon Sports Park was renovated and became a key project in Avignon.

unfortunately,

This new Ligue 1 team was stunned the first time they entered Ligue 1.

Continuous failures.

The team completely lost confidence. Throughout the entire season, the team only won three games!

It has become the bottom team in Ligue 1 and the worst performing newly promoted team.

They were relegated last season.

After Arles was relegated to Ligue 2 this season, the team fell into a financial crisis due to huge losses in the Ligue 1 season. It was forced to sell key players and its strength declined significantly.

In the middle of the season, the French Football Federation deducted points due to financial problems, the president resigned, and the team was on the verge of bankruptcy and restructuring.

They concede nearly 2 goals per game, making them the worst defensive team in Ligue 2.

Now, just twenty minutes.

Bastia helped Arles achieve its KPI of conceding two goals per game, and there is even hope that it can help them continue to expand the score.

When Davide was celebrating with Gaio and others, looking at such a team, he was very confident that he would become the main force here after the transfer.

This is also why he agreed to join Arles in the summer transfer window.

Because Arles now is too bad.

This allows Davide, a veteran who can hardly play in Bastia, to become a main player.

The game continues on the court.

Arles players' performance this season remains poor and it seems they may even be relegated to the French League.

The team's morale was already average, and now that they've been scored two goals in a row, their mentality has exploded.

Shortly after the kick-off, Arles midfielder Rocky made a mistake!
He didn't have the same idea as his teammates. His teammates wanted to move forward, but he gave them a dead ball.

Resulting in the ball being passed directly to a Bastia player.

Rocky shook his head.

This 30-year-old French midfielder made his debut in Cannes. He was once a talented player and was bought by Paris Saint-Germain at the age of 20.

As a result, it took two years for it to be kicked out.

He was loaned to Bastia by Paris Saint-Germain and played for one season, but Bastia did not choose to buy him out.

In the end, Rocky wandered around teams such as Ajaccio, Metz, and Worker Tel Aviv.

This summer, Arles was financially tight, so they signed him for free.

However, his performance did not satisfy the team.

The only advantage is that it is cheap.

The situation on the field did not improve just because Rocky shook his head.

Crutchet shouted impatiently from the sidelines, "Get back on defense, you bastards!!"

Any coach who has a little ambition in leading a team will not tolerate the laziness of his players.

So he yelled at the players angrily.

The Arles players seemed to have gotten used to this kind of anger. Fortunately, they did not give up and were still actively defending.

Barely stopped Bastia's attack.

Bastia then re-entered the positional warfare offensive.

A few minutes later,

When the ball came to Gaio's feet again, the sunlight shone directly on Gaio's back.

His extremely fast footwork, with mottled light and shadow, faced the defender D. Balde who was defending him, and he flicked, pulled, and pushed again.

Balder's crotch was scooped.

Gaio no longer paid attention to Balde. His gaze went straight through Solo who was coming to defend in front of him and focused on the position of the goalkeeper.

After experiencing the Ligue 1 level defense in the match against Rennes.

The defense of the French Ligue 2 players was completely crushed, except for the occasional bigger and more brutal moves.

Gaio was like a fish in water in the water.

He was in front of Solo, and with just a simple change of direction, Solo was fooled.

Then he turned around rather embarrassedly and looked at Gaio's back.

The next moment,
Sunshine, youth and football overlap.

Until the goal!

Swish!
I don’t know if it was because the sunlight illuminated goalkeeper Bitler’s vision, causing him to be a beat slower.

Or maybe Gaio's shot was too tricky.

The football went straight into the net.

0-3!

Bastia once again expanded the score advantage!

After scoring the goal, Gaio excitedly rushed out of the field and opened his arms to the fans in the visiting area.

"Great! Gaio scored a goal!"

On the sidelines, Hajibegic celebrated excitedly. Gaio's goal was the most exciting goal for him today.

Help Gaio win the Golden Boot!

After passionately describing the goal scene, the French Ligue 2 broadcast commentator said, "This is the value of the French Ligue 2's 30 million yuan price tag!
There is only one way for defenders to stop Gaio - foul!
Now, less than half an hour later, Arles has been kicked to pieces!"

After seeing the process of this goal, the Arles fans at the scene went from silence to a few fans applauding Gaio.

Subsequently,

The applause spread more and more, until it reached the entire audience!

clap clap clap!
Thunderous applause!!
