The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 94 He is not someone's shadow

Swish!
The football hit the net, like the waves created by a fish flicking its tail in the Meuse River.

fleeting.

After bouncing twice, the football calmed down in the net, which was similar to the mood of the Sedan fans at the scene.

My heart rate would fluctuate wildly when I lost the ball, but when I saw it go in, I was completely heartbroken.

"Maybe we shouldn't have any expectations." A Sedan fan in the stands said to his friend.

This is also what most Sedan fans think.

Gaio's advancement on the right side required their players to defend desperately after just a few minutes of the game, and even required frequent fouls to stop Gaio.

This is the absolute difference.

In the top leagues, it is very difficult for a player to have a significant impact on the game.

However, in the lower-level leagues, the personal abilities of the stars will be displayed to the extreme.

For example, Gaio now.

When the ball goes into the net.

The French Ligue 2 broadcaster excitedly said, "Gaio! A historic talent! People used to say he was Ronaldo, they said he was Ronaldinho, he was lost in the flowers, and now, he is back!"

Hagibegic on the sidelines kept clapping, this was Gaio's performance.

The level of French Ligue 2 is no longer suitable for Gaio.

At this moment, Hagibegic was looking forward to the new season, but the next second, his idea was curbed.

Chatham had already told him that Gaio was likely to leave the team in the summer.

Bastia was just the starting point for Gaio.

While Hagibegic was thinking about this, Chatham was sitting in the seat behind the bench. After the excited celebration, he felt a little lonely.

He thought of this as well.

He thought he could accept Gaio's departure, but until now, when the season is about to end, he realized that everything in the team has been marked by Gaio's traces.

Wow!

His mood was quickly interrupted by a new round of cheers from fans.

Gaio became the absolute focus on the court.

The defensive pressure along the way also made Sedan fans a little worried.

Fortunately, the Sedan players stabilized the situation.

No more goals were lost for the time being.

It's just that when they focus most of their attention on defense, they can't produce much on offense.

Bastia's defense was not under any serious threat at all.

However, Gaio's side was heavily guarded.

There were no extra opportunities, and Gaio did not choose to force a charge, but instead roamed around waiting for an opportunity.

In the 33rd minute, Sedan's counterattack was interrupted, and Bastia immediately counterattacked Sedan!
When the ball came to Gaio's feet, there was only one defensive player next to him, and more defensive players had not yet arrived.

Gaio habitually broke through to the right with the ball. The full-back Qasim Abdullah was extremely nervous, his eyes fixed on Gaio's movements, ready to mobilize his body to respond at any time.

However, it was only a one-second encounter.

Gaio pushed the ball to the outside with his left foot, and Abdullah reacted immediately. His body did not move towards Gaio's left side. He knew it must be a feint, so he did the opposite and moved towards the right!
As a result, Gaio thrust forward and rushed past him.

Wow!
The fans were stunned. What kind of defense was this?
To the fans, it looked like Abdullah deliberately let Gio pass.

It’s still a very friendly “give way”.

But they didn't have time to think too much, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

Gaio cut in from the right flank, with midfielder Valdivia and center back Florentin Pogba both rushing towards Gaio.

When Gaio first came on, he was actually a little surprised to see Florentin Pogba for the first time.

Is this Pogba?
They look so similar!

But he quickly realized that this must be one of the brothers of Paul Pogba, who is well-known to fans of the future French team.

Florentin is tall, half a head taller than Gaio, who is 1.83 meters tall, and very strong.

When Gaio saw this kind of player with strong confrontation, he actually liked him very much.

Because they turn slowly, once their center of gravity is shifted, it is difficult for them to keep up with the offensive players without committing a foul.

This is also why many tall central defenders find it very difficult to defend against breakthrough forwards.

Pogba's brother quickly realized this.

Gaio only needed to lower his shoulders to make Florentine transfer his center of gravity.

Then Gaio pulled the ball back and poked it between Florentin's long legs.

Before he could complete the turn, he had already accelerated and rushed behind Florentin.

"Too slow!" Sedan fans exclaimed.

Bastia fans cheered, "Haha, Gio's crotch penetration index has completed +1 again in this game!"

After Gaio rushed over, another central defender Ismail had blocked his left side, and goalkeeper Lamé also rushed out to block his forward route.

Seeing this, Gaio made a lob shot in the penalty area.

The highest point of the parabola drawn by the football just passed Lame and hit the net.

The ball goes in again!
Gaio scored twice and Bastia took a two-goal lead.

He rushed out of the field, trying to find Bastia's fans, but he didn't see them because the away team area was on the other side.

Gaio simply opened his arms in front of the home team's stands.

The last time he did this move, Rothen thought it was very cool, so Gaio simply used this move as his own celebration move.

The response has been pretty good.

When Gaio made his celebration move, he expected to be booed by the Sedan fans.

But did not expect,

clap clap clap!
The Sedan fans applauded him, and someone even gave him a thumbs up in the stands.

Sedan fans are well aware of Gaio's story. They are Sedan fans, but they are also fans of the French team.

Gaio responded with a smile and a wave towards the stands.

"Bastia destroyed the suspense of this game again in the first half!"

The French Ligue 2 commentator lamented, "Bastia's strength is not necessarily that strong.

But after they eliminated Ligue 1 teams in a row in the French Cup, the team seemed to have a winning temperament.

It's a feeling that's hard to explain, but they are no longer the same Bastia as before, and that gives them the courage to take on any opponent.

Where does this change come from?
I think everyone has an answer, Gaio."

Chatham in the stands cheered vigorously. He also figured it out and decided to enjoy life while he could.

Let’s celebrate first!
As for Gaio's transfer?
That's something Gaio should think about, he just needs to sign the transfer documents.

This goal completely destroyed Sedan's idea of ​​a comeback.

They have no worries about relegation this season, but no hope of promotion.

The current situation in Ligue 2 is that Bastia is leading the pack, followed by Reims, Troyes, and Tours, which are now significantly ahead of the rest of the teams. Sedan is only one or two points behind Clermont-Ferrand, Nantes, and Monaco. Even the difference between fifth and sixteenth place is a mere ten points!

It was not until the relegation zone that we fell behind by a cliff.

Therefore, the situation in Ligue 2 this season is that the promotion and relegation situations are very clear and there has not been much change.

The teams in the middle have almost the same points difference and have no desire or ambition.

soon.

The referee on the field blew the whistle to end the first half of the game and entered the halftime break.

As Gaio walked towards the locker room, someone called him.

"Hey! Gyo!"

Gaio turned around and saw Pogba.

Of course, it was Florentin Pogba, not the one who now plays for Manchester United.

"Hello." Gaio stopped and responded in a friendly manner.

"Hello Gaio, um... well, I have a presumptuous request. Can I have your jersey?" Florentin asked embarrassedly.

"Of course!"

This was the first time that an opposing player asked for Gaio's jersey, but fans had asked for it many times.

Florentin was very happy when he heard this. "My youngest son, Ellis, likes you very much. He is eight years old. I originally wanted him to play in midfield, but after seeing your game, he must learn to play as a winger from you."

After Gaio took off his jersey and gave it to Florentin, he smiled and said, "Kids can try any position as long as they are happy."

Then he added, "Florentin, your brother is doing well at Manchester United."

When Gaio talked about his brother.

Florentin was very proud, "Yes, I am a Manchester United fan. I am very proud to see Paul wearing a Manchester United jersey."

But his expression quickly darkened. "To be honest, Paul is not happy at Manchester United."

Gaio looked at him.

Florentin explained, "Sir Ferguson doesn't trust Paul. Every time I see him unable to play, I get angry, even angrier than Paul himself. I told him that if there is no chance at Manchester United, he doesn't need to stay and can leave. He fully deserves to play for Manchester United, but if Manchester United doesn't want to use him, he can leave and go somewhere else. Manchester United will see his performance and regret it!"

Gaio nodded. He was of course aware that Pogba had such a bad relationship with Manchester United.

Manchester United spent hundreds of millions of euros on Pogba, as well as tens of millions of signing fees and tens of millions of annual salary, but did not get a penny.

Pogba has moved to Juventus twice on free transfers.

This summer, Pogba will join Juventus for the first time on a free transfer.

The story of Manchester United being taken advantage of will officially begin after Ferguson retires next year.

Thinking of Juventus, Pierre has been saying that Juventus has been actively contacting them and wants Gaio to join Juventus.

Gaio didn't tell Florentin about the latter part, but he exchanged contact information with him.

I wonder if I can establish a good relationship with Pogba in advance, will he still use witchcraft to bewitch me in the future?
soon.

The second half begins.

Even after Gio created several dangerous opportunities, Hajibegic still chose to replace Gio in the 55th minute.

He was now as conservative as he could be with Gaio.

A two-goal lead is a big advantage in Ligue 2.

Even if Gaio was substituted and the team was equalized or even defeated, Hagibegic didn't think it was a big deal.

Losing one or two games in Ligue 2 will not affect their chances of winning the title.

But if Gaio gets injured, it will really affect their chances of winning the championship!
When Gaio leaves the field.

The Sedan fans applauded him and they were looking forward to the young man's performance in the French team.

at the same time.

Wenger watched the game from his office at the London Colney base in England.

Gaio's performance on the court made him think of many stars.

Papin? Henry? Djorkaeff? Ronaldo or Ronaldinho?
Do not,
Wenger shook his head. When he watched the applause from the audience when Gaio left the field, there was only Gaio in his eyes.

He is no one's shadow,
He is who he is.

Wenger can't wait any longer, he wants Gaio to play for Arsenal next season. After Nasri left the team, the right side of Arsenal is now the stage prepared for Gaio.

Despite the fact that it was already evening break, Wenger called Rice.

"On April 29th, we're going to the Stade de France."

drop! ! !
The final whistle sounded at the Stade Dugauguez.

In the end, Bastia took away the victory with a score of 3-1.

It also successfully brought Bastia's lead in the French Ligue 2 standings to double digits - 10 points!
Countless Bastia fans were partying that night.

They are so close to Ligue 1.

same.

There were also fans cheering Gaio's name enthusiastically, the French Ligue 2 Golden Boot, 15 goals in nine games!

This is the efficiency of a genius!
After the game.

When the reporter said these words, Hajibegic couldn't stop smiling.

"Yes, this is a miracle made up of all the people of Bastia. In our first season back in Ligue 2, we had the possibility of winning the title."

"Our last French Ligue 2 title dates back to the 1967/68 season, which was our best league title. Now, we are about to win our second. I believe the fans will be very happy, after all, this is a championship trophy that comes more than 40 years apart."

"Geo, I've never worried about his performance on the court. He's just the best, isn't he?"

When the reporter mentioned the French Cup final at the end of the month, Hajibegic shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to discuss this. I just want to be happy now and not make the atmosphere so serious."

The next day, the Bastia players returned to Bastia.

The Corsican media has even published headlines about the team's early title win: "Ligue 1, Bastia is back!", "A huge advantage! Bastia can declare victory in Ligue 2 ahead of schedule."

The fans also agree with this statement.

Bastia are already preparing to celebrate their another Ligue 2 title in advance, as well as their promotion to Ligue 1.

As Bastia cheered.

Gaio was not training. He sat in the passenger seat, feeling a little nervous as he watched Chatham drive the car closer and closer to Bastia's youth training camp in the suburbs.

Chatham told him,

He will become a youth training ambassador for Bastia's youth training camp.

Being regarded as an idol by young players always puts some pressure on Gaio.

He knows very well how deeply one person can be influenced by another!

Especially when you are young.

Every word and action of an idol will become a benchmark.

soon.

The vehicle stopped at the entrance of the youth training camp.
