The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 143 Dib, Go to Bastia

Swish!
Yuldren had no time to save the ball, and when he turned around, he saw the ball hitting the far corner of the net.

He seemed to hear the sound of a football rubbing against the net.

The ball went in!
Wow!

The fans at the scene were surprised by Gaio's decisive shot, and of course they were even more stunned by the opportunity that appeared so quickly for Bastia.

clap clap clap!
The American fans at the scene applauded Gaio vigorously, knowing that the young man would not turn 18 until the end of the year.

This is talent!
Yuldren stood up and spread his hands towards his teammates.

He didn't understand how the ball landed so easily at Gaio's feet.

Where's the guy marking Gaio?
Montpellier's left-back, Cameroonian player Bedimo, also shook his head helplessly at this time.

He reached out to his teammates to apologize.

He really didn't catch up with Gaio just now, Gaio was too fast!

The Montpellier players, who lost the ball before they could adapt to the game, were forced to quickly get into the rhythm of the game.

Seems a bit confused.

The same goes for Montpellier fans.

However, the Bastia fans shouted out Gaio's name the moment he scored.

Far away from Corsica, at the New York Red Bull Arena on the east coast of the United States, the sound resounded throughout the stadium—

"Geo!"

Modosso waved the flag in his hand vigorously and continued to shout towards the stands, "Roar, let them see the power of us Bastia fans!"

The goal was scored so quickly that the blue smoke from the fireworks in the stands had not yet dissipated.

It also adds a bit of blue passion that is unique to Bastia.

"Geo!! Scored in 58 seconds! Bastia and Gaio's first goal of the new season came too quickly!"

The commentator was just introducing the new season when Gaio scored a goal. He continued:
"It seems that the prospects of the 'Chelsea Losers League' in the new season are worth looking forward to! This goal was the result of the cooperation between the three of them, De Bruyne's pass, Lukaku's advance, and finally Gaio's finish."

Chelsea connection!
Ilion, who continues to look for quality youth players for Chelsea in Paris, France, is watching the game.

He turned on the live broadcast TV and just went to get some water when he saw Gaio celebrating.

It was not until he watched the replay that he understood the process of the goal, which made him extremely surprised.

Couldn't help but laugh.

If De Bruyne and Lukaku really prove themselves in Bastia, it will be a huge win for Chelsea.

Think about it this way.

Ilion felt that he needed to watch more of Bastia's subsequent matches.

Bastia is simply a "little Chelsea".

All Blues.

On the field.

After scoring the goal, Gaio rushed towards the corner flag area, and all the Bastia fans gathered in this area.

Gaio slapped the team logo on his chest towards the fans.

The first goal of the new season,
coming!

The fans excitedly waved their arms towards Gaio, and some fans shouted, "Gaio! Do you know how hard it was for me when I didn't have any games? You're finally back! I love you, Gaio!"

There are many, many such voices.
Lukaku rushed over to celebrate with Gaio and others. He said to De Bruyne and others, "Well, I said it and it happened. I broke through their defenders with just one charge."

Hahaha~
Everyone laughed. Lukaku really played a big role in this goal. His teammates really recognized his impact.

Gaio glanced at De Bruyne. While everyone was smiling, De Bruyne was just giving a perfunctory smile at the very edge.

Gaio took the initiative to point at him, "Hey, don't forget Kevin! He was the one who passed the ball!"

Lukaku immediately gave his first compliment of the day, "Great pass Kevin! Keep passing like this, and watch how I rush them and it'll be over!"

When De Bruyne heard Gaio say this, the smile on his face became a little more intense.

Celebrate with teammates by high-fiving.

When the celebration was over, Gaio put his hand on De Bruyne's shoulder and said, "Kevin, please go to the front of the penalty area more often. I can at least attract the attention of three people on the right. Do you understand me?"

De Bruyne nodded, "Yeah."

Gaio was not dissatisfied with De Bruyne's attitude and the team's new players.

They are all similar, Mane, Kante, De Bruyne, all very introverted.

But they all have different underlying colors.

Mane is an honest and grateful person. Even after becoming famous, he lives a simple life and has no tendency to show off or pursue luxury. He also built a hospital and public middle school for his hometown, and provided cash assistance to each family and scholarships to students.

Kante, on the other hand, is a typical introverted person, but once you get to know him, he'll show a little humor.

De Bruyne is introverted on the outside, but a perfectionist on the inside, and extremely competitive, so it’s normal for him to yell at his teammates and even the coach on the field.

Lukaku, on the other hand, looks more extroverted, enthusiastic, and carefree, but he is actually very sensitive inside and needs to be coaxed. He starts to get angry if things don't go his way.

To put it bluntly, Lukaku is a "giant baby".

So Gaio’s attitude towards Lukaku is just to praise him!

He was praised so much that he was confused and played hard on the field.

at the same time.

Hagibegic, who was on the sidelines, saw the team's first goal of the season come so quickly.

I feel so excited!

Scoring a goal at the start of the game was a good start to the new season for him.

And after seeing the process of this goal, he knew that the team had become stronger.

Whether it is Lukaku or De Bruyne, their strength may not be enough for Chelsea, but for Bastia, it is more than enough!
Girard, who was next to Hagibegic, was not in a good mood. It was hard for anyone to accept losing the ball less than a minute after the start of the game.

In his eyes, the game hadn't even started yet and the ball was lost.

Who can bear this?
The DJ's high-pitched voice continued, and the audience's enthusiasm continued to be aroused——

"Geo! History is made! Just 58 seconds after kick-off, Bastia's lightning pierces the Pacific Ocean! Corsica's volcano erupts in New Jersey! Napoleon's blood is burning!"

"This is the fastest goal in the history of the French Super Cup!"

"Gaio is also the youngest player to score a goal!"

The DJ chanted Gaio's name over and over again.

quickly,

As the players returned to the center circle, the referee blew the whistle to continue the game.

Montpellier kicks off.

The DJ said again, "The score is 1-0! But pay attention—Montpellier came back from behind to defeat Paris Saint-Germain last season, and today's time is only 1 minute and 49 seconds."

Montpellier was not so quick to admit defeat.

They are the defending champions of Ligue 1!

After Montpellier kicked off, they advanced their attack in an orderly manner.

left.

Anthony Meunier, the striker who just transferred to Montpellier from Nice for 350 million euros this season, cooperated with his teammates to launch an attack towards Cioni's defense.

And in the first contact, Xioni suffered a loss.

He couldn't keep up with Meunier's pace.

Being eaten alive on the wing!

After Meunier forced his way past Sioni, he saw Angula pressing towards him, so he didn't continue dribbling the ball.

Bang!
He kicked the ball to the middle.

Herrera rushed forward and headed the ball. Fortunately, Joplin was experienced and kept in position and jumped. He didn't jump very high, but it still made Herrera uncomfortable.

Novis also successfully caught the ball.

Seeing that his defense was broken through so easily, Hagibegic was somewhat worried.

But there is no way.

The three frontcourt players didn't return to defense, so they could only rely on Bastia's veterans. Sioni was born and raised in Bastia's youth training.

Always playing for Bastia.

But now that I'm older, I obviously can't keep up with the intensity of Ligue 1.

Hajibegic sighed inwardly.

Sioni was unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility as a starter.

Many times, the coach can tell whether a player is good or not after playing on the field for a while.

It doesn't take a whole game.

Hagibegic thought of Chatham's lottery pick, Jonathan Clos, from the amateur team Vauban in Strasbourg.

Chatham only gave him a monthly salary of 2000 euros plus various conditional bonuses.

But this is already much higher than the salary in Vauban.

Klose plays football in Vauban and also makes a living by doing some work as a courier and distributing leaflets.

However, Hagibegic still didn't dare to give Kroos a chance. What he said in the locker room was just to give Kroos some confidence.

At least Kroos worked very hard in training.

The player is only 20 years old, and Hagibegic does not want him to lose hope in football.

The team will definitely have to fight on multiple fronts this season. Let him try to be a substitute in the cup competition. If he can be used, then use him. If he can't be used, there is no cost.

Wow!

While Hagibegic was thinking about how to build his defense, Gaio received a pass from De Bruyne and dribbled past the opponent, causing the fans at the scene to exclaim.

When American fans saw Gaio holding the ball, it felt like the highlights they had just seen on the big screen were appearing in reality.

So silky!

After Gaio passed Estrada through the crotch, he faced Bedimo's defense.

When Bedimo was defending Gaio in the first few minutes, he was shaken so much that his scalp was numb. He didn't dare to go up and press Gaio's position at the first time.

But retreat.

Like most defensive players who faced Gaio, he finally felt that as long as he retreated, he would not be passed by Gaio.

Gaio saw Bedimon's body posture, shook his ankle, and cut inside directly!

De Bruyne was not far away, already signaling in front of him that he had an open space.

Gaio saw Hilton blocking his route and Cabela coming up.

He didn't pass the ball immediately, but continued to cut inside.

When Cabela and another player surrounded Gaio to block his way forward, Gaio picked up the ball and made a small pass back.

The ball was passed to De Bruyne's feet.

Saihi, who was defending him, immediately stretched out his foot to grab the ball. After receiving the ball, De Bruyne pulled the ball and turned around. Without hesitation, he kicked the ball to Lukaku's feet.

Lukaku stood in the penalty area and was in perfect harmony with Mbiwa, without any confrontation.

The ball was passed.

Lukaku showed delicate footwork that was different from his appearance. He received the ball and then passed it to his dominant foot. However, Mbiwa was not in harmony with him now. When he saw Lukaku holding the ball, he pushed his body against him.

Lukaku was hit and was not used to the rhythm. He stretched out his hand to hold Mbiwa and quickly passed the ball back to Gio.

Gaio thought Lukaku was going to fight and was not prepared.

He received the ball with his left foot.

Hilton was already in position and Gaio could only dribble with his right foot, as Montpellier's defense was already in place.

Gaio knew he couldn't hesitate any longer.

Just shoot with your right foot!
however,
This shot has power but no angle at all.

He was held firmly by Yuldren.

Gaio shook his head helplessly and waved his fist, very dissatisfied with the quality of his kick.

The ball hit his right foot.

Gaio apologized to his teammates, saying that he did not play the ball well.

Bastia players began to slowly retreat to defend.

On the way, Gaio thought that he should practice shooting with his right foot. As the opponents he encountered became stronger and stronger, if he only knew how to shoot with his left foot, the opponents would have targeted defense.

The bipedal monster is the answer to the winger.

Although this attack did not result in a goal, it made Montpellier head coach Girard cautious.

He didn't dare to attack too aggressively from the right, for fear that Bastia would steal the ball and Gaio would be left unguarded.

The key is that Bastia as a whole is now a bit difficult for Girard. The No. 17 in the midfield can always make some threatening passes.

Fortunately, Bastia’s defense was not as strong as its offense.

Montpellier was also able to suppress Bastia through their own attack.

Bang!
Montpellier's No. 7 Utaka shot from the outside.

It was almost 30 minutes and this was Montpellier's seventh shot.

No goals though.

But if they see Bastia's weaknesses, they will believe that they will definitely score if they continue to attack.

Hagibegic shook his head on the sidelines.

The defensive problems are serious.

If you don’t defend in the frontcourt, you can’t defend in the backcourt.

The reason they haven't conceded a goal yet is simply because Montpellier's forwards are not as efficient as Giroud, their top scorer last season.

If there was a Giroud.

Now Bastia is probably already in a state of decline.

at this time.

Colney training base in London, England.

Giroud was watching the game.

After conceding a goal at the start of the game, he thought Bastia would win easily, but as time went on, he found that Bastia was a little top-heavy.

Instead, Montpellier gradually took control of the situation.

Emotionally, he is unwilling to accept the loss no matter whether Montpellier or Bastia.

But in the cup competition, there can only be one winner.

"How's it going?"

Just as Giroud was watching the game, a voice was heard. Giroud knew who it was from the voice and did not turn around.

The answer was, "The score remains the same as at the start, but Bastia might be overturned."

"Haha, congratulations."

Giroud turned his head and saw that Emiliano Martinez was already wearing his training suit.

"Going for a run again?"

These are the new friends he made after arriving at Arsenal.

Emiliano smiled at him. "I've been with the team for two years now. I finally have the chance to join the first team. I must train hard and strive for the opportunity given by the professor. Even if I can't play in the league, I must at least strive for a chance to play in the next League Cup."

Giroud nodded slightly.

But he knew that Emiliano would hardly have a chance and Szczesny's position as a starter was more stable.

Wenger is not too keen on changing goalkeepers.

When Emiliano left, Giroud had an idea for some reason.

Suddenly, a sentence came out, "Dib, go to Bastia!"
