The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 76 Bastia's Declaration of War
"Yan Gaio is more than just a player. This is a declaration of war!"

The fans roared in unison what was written on the banner.

One after another.

The French Ligue 2 broadcast commentator was explaining the starting lineups for both teams. "Bastia's right winger, Gaio, is also the focal point of this match. In the latest national team roster, he became the only second-tier league player in Blanc's lineup, which also caused a lot of controversy.

Now, Bastia fans are supporting Gaio in their own way. Including the mayor of Bastia and the top management of Bastia club, they have publicly expressed their support for Gaio on various occasions.

now.

There are already countless expectant eyes waiting for the game to begin.

Every minute and every second is torture.

Boom!
Boom! Boom boom boom!

Amidst the excitement in the stadium, a burst of rapid drumbeats suddenly rang out. The fans in the stands were attracted by the sound and turned to look at the source.

North Stand,
Ultras Bastia!

At the front row of the railings were several shirtless men, who were pounding the drums in front of them with their bare upper bodies in Bastia at the end of March.

dong dong dong dong!

After a burst of dense drumbeats.

Behind them, in the north stands, a huge TIFO was unfolded, and the picture appeared before everyone's eyes—

In the center of the blue-background image, a player's silhouette stands on a volcanic fissure representing Corsica. Above the number 29 is Gueho's name. He is standing on a football with broken shackles between his feet. He is looking straight at the land across the sea and holding a crown in his hand with the letters "N" and "B" written on it.

This represents the legendary name that has been passed down orally in Corsica for two hundred years - Napoléon Bonaparte.

On one side of the crown, there is a huge line of French text: "Cenere agli indifferenti, gloria al nostro re!"

Ashes to the indifferent, all glory to our King.

This scene stunned everyone.

Shocked!

It’s too shocking!

They could hardly imagine that such treatment was given to a seventeen-year-old player.

Boom!
dong dong! !
The drumbeats of Ultras Bastia continued, and coupled with the shocking scene, everyone at the scene felt their hearts trembling.

The Laval players were a little weak in the knees when they saw Bastia's opening.

Many players complained in their hearts that they had only won two games in twelve games in three months since 2012.

Bastia, currently the top team in the French Ligue 2, is looking for an easy target?
Courtside.

Laval's head coach Ambroise also felt bitter.

LaValle had a poor record since the beginning of the year. After his predecessor was fired, he took over as assistant coach and led the team for the next few months.

In the end, we didn't win a single game.

Now they are facing Bastia, the big brother of Ligue 2, and Gaio urgently needs to prove himself in this game.

Looking at this opening lineup that is comparable to that of Ligue 1.

He felt bitter in his heart.

drop! !

Finally, in shock, at exactly seven o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game!

Bastia played a bit aggressively at home.

Completely suppress Laval in the half court.

When Gaio got the ball, the fans in the stands were excited, "Gio! Gaio! Pass them! Pass them so hard that their mothers can't recognize them!"

"Gaio, show them Corsica's dream steps!"

"Roten! Kick them in the balls!"

Various sounds echoed throughout the Cesari Stadium.

The broadcast of this French Ligue 2 match also allowed many fans to see an atmosphere that was not inferior to that of the French Ligue 1 match.

In the eyes of neutral fans, regardless of Gaio's strength, at least his status in the hearts of Bastia fans is really high.

This also makes many team managers a little worried.

In particular, Juventus general manager Marotta has listed Gaiole as Juventus' key transfer target after reading the scouting report sent by Leonardo in detail.

However, now seeing the support of Bastia fans for Gaio, he has to consider Gaio's sense of belonging to Bastia.

Many players choose to be loyal to a city because of this sense of belonging.

Football at that time was not so utilitarian.

There are many stories about one person and one city.

There are many players that fans are familiar with, but there are even more that they are not familiar with, such as Schiller of Hamburg, Facchetti of Inter Milan, Bergomi, and Manchester United, which is full of loyal players such as Fox, Neville, Silkos, and Giggs.
Marotta was a little worried that Gaio, a once lost child, would spend the rest of his life in Bastia without such a sense of belonging.

That would definitely be a loss for European football!
"He not only deserves a place in the French national team, he should also come to Juventus! Become the new Zebra Prince!"

Marotta said angrily.

His assistant looked at Marotta and shrugged, "But Gaio clearly rejected us."

Marotta waved his hand and said, "Let's wait until the summer transfer window and see. Don't cut off contact with Gaio's family."

The assistant nodded.

He agreed with every choice made by Marotta. There was no way around it, Marotta had to prove that he was right with his actual results.

Marotta's performance at Juventus is simply amazing!
He brought players such as Pirlo, Vidal, Barzagli, Lichtsteiner to Juventus and hired Conte as head coach.

Now this season, Juventus has won a series of consecutive victories, and in the eyes of all Juventus fans, this is the core team that has built Juventus' revival.

Especially Pirlo and Conte!

It's a stroke of genius!

Too much value!

The assistant fantasized, what would it be like if Marotta could bring Gaio to Juventus from across the Mediterranean?
"Geo!!"

The sound of French commentary came from the TV, and the two of them looked over immediately.

Gaio left Anthony Goncalves, who was defending him, behind.

The commentator kept chattering, "Nice crotch pass, every French Ligue 2 defender knew that Gaio was going to crotch pass, but no one could protect their crotch"

After Gaio passed one person.

The fans became increasingly excited, "You'll dream tonight of Gio piercing your crotch!"

"You wimps from Laval! You're guarding Gaio like an old lady chasing a bus!"

Gaio was not affected by the outside world.

For the past ten minutes or so, Laval has been in a tight defense. After he passed one player, there were still two or three defensive players in front of him.

but,
What winger can’t dribble past opponents?
Gaio did not stop. In the past few attempts, he was fouled by the opposing players. Now that he has figured out the opponent's defensive patterns, he is more calm.

On the contrary, Palova, who was defending him, became more and more guilty. He felt that he could no longer keep up with Gaio's rhythm!

The only hope is that there are teammates behind to fill in the position.

however,
In the first encounter, before Palova could even commit a foul, Gaio cut past him.

Wow!

The next second, the fans in the stadium cheered.

The next second, there was cheering!
"Geo!!"
