The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 99 If you ask me about tactics, I will only answer: Give the ball to Gaio [Monthly Ticket Plus]

“What’s your favorite song?”

"Ce train qui s'en va"

"I didn't expect you to like such an old song, but she is indeed very nice. Best Elaine. So who is your favorite football star?"

"Hadji from Romania."

"He scored a very beautiful goal in the World Cup. I thought you would like Ronaldinho, or Maradona, Zidane and others."

"It was that long-range goal in the World Cup that made me fall in love with him, Maradona of the Carpathian Mountains."

"Okay, last question. You told the fans that you would bring the championship to Bastia. Do you think Bastia will win the double this season?"

"meeting!"

In a quick question-and-answer session with a reporter from Bastia Evening News, Gaio gave a decisive answer to the last question.

"Thank you, Gaio, for your hard work." Reporter Dinar shook hands with Gaio. He was an avid Bastia fan, so after work, he smiled and said to Gaio, "I'm your fan. Can you take a photo with me and get an autograph?"

There's nothing wrong with taking advantage of work opportunities to chase stars, right?

Anyway, it didn't delay work.

"of course."

Gaio took a photo with Dinar, and then signed his name on the No. 29 Bastia jersey brought by Dinar.

"Hey, your signature is really nice." Dinar praised after receiving it.

He had seen too many players' signatures just a few random strokes, but Gaio's signature was obviously carefully practiced.

After packing up, Dinar pointed to the camera his colleague was carrying and said, "We will be there to witness your victory the day after tomorrow."

Gaio pointed at his teammates who were watching the fun and said, "Then you have to take good-looking photos of them when the time comes."

Hahaha.

Everyone laughed.

The players are actually quite nervous about the match against Chateauroux in the 34th round of French Ligue 2 at home the day after tomorrow.

This tension does not come from the strength of the opponent, but from the desire for results.

These are two completely different kinds of tension.

Although Chateauroux was founded very early, in 1883, they have not made any splash in French football.

The team has only won the French Ligue 2 championship once in its history, in the 1996/97 season.

Malouda, who is currently playing for Chelsea, may be the top star ever produced in the history of the Chateauroux team.

Malouda was born in Cayenne, the capital of French Guiana. He received youth football training there and was later discovered by Chateauroux, and then he became unstoppable.

After transferring to Lyon, he became the main midfielder of the seven-time champion team, and he played more as a winger on the field.

At the end of the 2006/07 season, he won the Ligue 1 Player of the Season award and was subsequently poached by Chelsea for a transfer fee of approximately 20 million euros.

Chateauroux will be out of the relegation zone this season.

So this is definitely not a strong enemy.

The Bastia players were nervous simply because they wanted so badly to bring the championship trophy back to Bastia after 44 years!
Their showcase of honor needs a trophy.

Bastia has experienced some turmoil over the decades, especially a fire in 1990 when the team's original office building collapsed. The trophies and even treasured jerseys inside were either burned or buried underground.

Anyway, after the team cleared most of the walls, they built the current office building on the original site.

There are only two official trophies in the Hall of Fame.

One is the 1997 Intertoto Cup championship trophy, and the other is last season's French League championship trophy.

This season, it's time to add new members to the Hall of Fame.

But there are also players who are not nervous, such as Gaio and Rothen.

Gaio felt that the French Ligue 2 title was a sure thing this season. Even if they didn't win this game, so what? There were still four games to go.

Can you lose everything?
As for Rothen, he has seen many big scenes, whether in Monaco or Paris, and has won many championships.

I have even played in the Champions League and national team competitions.

Hagibegic didn't say anything more about anything other than the game. He just emphasized over and over again in training, "Pay attention to defense! Pay attention to your defensive positioning!"

He regarded this game as the last warm-up match before facing Lyon.

This is their last chance to train!

Facing Lyon, Hagibegic has already decided that he must defend to the death, so he must do a good job on the defensive end.

As for the offensive end.

He only has one tactic.

When asked by reporters during an interview, Hagibegic replied, "You ask me about tactics? I can only answer, give the ball to Gaio."

Gaio trained step by step, chatting and laughing with his teammates as they prepared for the game.

While doing warm-up training, Gaio was thinking about the current points situation.

He only added 6 winning points in the first two games, 3 points per game, which is indeed too little.

The total score is only 31 now, which is too far away from the winning treasure chest.

He really wanted to see if winning this match that could decide the championship would make him gain more.

There is also the French Cup against Lyon. If we can win, how much more can we get?
Of course, he couldn't help but think about the information that Pierre often communicated with him: a certain team invited him again, and a certain coach called.

Many media outlets that specialize in taking advantage of the hype surrounding Gaio's transfer have compiled a special report called "Where is Gaio Going?"

It's not just Gaio.

Everyone actually daydreams during warm-up training.

Bastia is immersed in such a tense but orderly atmosphere.

But outside Bastia.

The boiling air flows non-stop through the sea, streets, taverns and beaches of Bastia.

The Bastia police station has even requested a lot of support from other police stations in Corsica, all of which will be used to maintain order in this game.

Only the police in Bastia know how crazy the Bastia fans can be and what they will do.

Fireworks?

That was just an appetizer. If the law had not prohibited it, they would have dared to order Notre Dame Cathedral on the night of the championship to celebrate Bastia's victory.

The people of Bastia are crazy.

Even in the darkest days, fans say "Supporting Bastia is like paying a mortgage - there are always a few days in a month when you want to die, but the next month you will continue to pay for an empty dream."

At the Sunset Cafe and Tavern, the Ultras Bastia members were excitedly planning everything.

Just thinking about those ideas, Modoso couldn't help but tremble all over.

But he remained calm, repeatedly admonishing each member, "You must remember your responsibilities! This is a major event for Bastia in the past half century! We can't mess it up!"

Modosso knew that it was unknown when the next Bastia championship would be.

They were destined to fail to keep the talented player Gaio.

"Fight, Bastia!!"

Listening to the shouts in the tavern, Bertrand was already wondering what Old Bell's barrel of anise liquor tasted like.
