The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 84 A Group Photo

Gaio didn't expect that he would have such a profound impact on Mbappé. He patted Mbappé on the shoulder and said, "Come on."

He then asked, "You should be leaving Clairefontaine next year. How is it going? Where are you going? With your talent, there should be a lot of teams contacting you."

At this time, Etang suddenly popped up from nowhere and said in a serious and childish voice, "Kylian is going to Real Madrid!"

Gaio looked at Etang with a smile, while Mbappe had already covered Etang's mouth with his ears red. Based on Mbappe's understanding of his younger brother, he would definitely tell some of his embarrassing past at this time.

really,

Etang broke free from Mbappé and spoke quickly, "Gilles and Riccardi have always said that Kylian was singing the Marseillaise with his hands on his heart at the age of four, and when he was six or seven, he said that one day he would represent France in the World Cup. Woohoo!"

Mbappé covered Etang's mouth again and looked at Gaio embarrassedly, "That's all nonsense they said. It's not true. I don't even remember it at that time."

"Woo woo woo" Etang struggled hard. He was very excited to talk about Mbappe's deeds in front of others. After breaking free again, Etang also inherited Faiza's usual Gatling speaking speed.

"It's true! That's what he said! Both Gires and Riccardi can testify! He said he wanted to win the Ballon d'Or, he wanted to be a professional player, he wanted to play for Real Madrid, he wanted to be like Gires, to Clairefontaine, to Rennes, and he wanted to play for the national team, he wanted to be the best player in the world."

Etang paused as he spoke, and this time Mbappé really subdued his brother.

but,

Giles, who came in to call them for dinner, heard the noise and suddenly spoke behind Mbappé.

Mbappé was shocked.

"Haha, yes, Etang is right. I can testify that Kylian's teammates on the U10 team should all remember this. They all wanted him to shut up because he was talking so fast and couldn't be stopped. We all laughed after hearing it. Many people thought Kylian was daydreaming, but us family members all knew that Kylian had talent. He was different from others."

When Gaio heard these stories about Mbappe's past for the first time, he smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

Etang has been released from Mbappé's arms.

But he didn't say anything, because Giles didn't stop either. "Look, his bedroom used to be covered with posters of Ronaldo. His favorite was the one when he first arrived at Real Madrid, the one who was as fast as lightning, sprinting down the left wing. Kylian would watch every game of Ronaldo and then imitate him."

Gilles pointed to the posters of Gaio.

"But now Killian has one more idol, you. Gaio, you are very strong, and I know that the ability you have shown now is definitely not your limit."

"Thank you." Gaio nodded slightly.

"But~~" Gilles looked at Mbappé, whose ears were already red, and said to Gaio with a smile, "But I hope that next time you dribble past the opponent, your movements won't be so difficult, a little simpler. Haha, Kylian got his feet tangled and fell several times because he tried to imitate your movements."

"It's five times! I saw it five times!" Etang added.

Mbappé was completely exhausted and shrugged at Gaio. "Yes, I'm trying to learn your way of passing, but I can't be as smooth as you."

"You are already good enough. Maybe we will become teammates in the national team in the future."

When Mbappé heard what Gaio said, hope ignited in his eyes.

I can't help but imagine him on the left and Gaio on the right, both wings flying together.
After a brief chat, it was time for dinner.

Elmire and the Ricklers, who were downstairs, brought some food and came to have dinner with Wilfred's family. They were mainly curious about Gaio.

This is a French national team player!

Even if he hasn't officially played yet, he has already been selected for the national team. "Bird Spring Town, oh, I remember that place, not far from Paris, next to Saint-Denis"

"Oh! Your parents are amazing, six kids!"

The content of the chat, under Gaio's guidance, gradually turned into exploring Mbappé's childhood -

And Faiza is also very willing to share these past experiences.

“The kitchen overlooks the Léo Lagrange Stadium, which was the favorite playground for Kylian and Gilles when they were little.”

"Wilfred was the youth coach at Bondy. He was initially reluctant to coach Kylian, but when Kylian was six, he joined the Bondy youth academy. His first coach was his father."

"Paris Saint-Germain, Bordeaux and Caen are all in contact with us, hoping to sign a priority agreement with Kylian and officially sign a professional contract when he turns 15. I don't need to say that Kylian is really recognized by many scouts now."

"Oh, we went to Cobham last year and Kylian spent a week there and even played a game against Charlton Under-12s."

Hearing this, Gaio was a little surprised, "Then don't you consider going to Chelsea?"

Faiza shook his head. "Chelsea is great. We even saw Ancelotti and Drogba, and they both liked Kylian. However, we ultimately felt that going to Chelsea would be too big a step. We want to stay in France and find a team that can provide Kylian with stable development."

Gaio nodded, approving of Faisa's approach.

He himself lost many opportunities to compete because he took too big steps.

For young players, the most important thing is the opportunity to play.

There are too many examples of talented players who have lost their talent by sitting on the bench of top clubs due to problems in their career planning.

"We may have to choose between Lens and Caen, but I prefer Caen. They are willing to pay a signing fee of more than 100,000 euros, which is enough for us to rent a nice house in Paris."

Gaio mostly just listened.

She didn't give any so-called advice. Even if Faisa asked him, he knew that she was just being polite.

Mbappé's parents have very clear plans for his future.

No need to interrupt yourself.

After the meal, both the host and the guests are happy.

As Gaio left, the Elmire couple wanted Gaio's autograph.

Gaio declined.

His signature is really ugly now, he promised to fix it later, but for now let’s just take a photo together.

then,

Gaio, Wilfred, Faiza, Kylian Mbappé, Etang, Gires, the Elmillers.

A group photo that had never appeared before was born.
