The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1

Chapter 65 Don’t give him a chance, he can really score a goal!
"Defend! Defend!"

After a brief moment of regret, Hagibegic quickly told the players not to be affected by the fact that the ball did not go in and to continue defending.

Although Antonetti kept signaling to press forward and attack after the goalkeeper kicked the ball out.

However, Rennes seemed a little cautious because of Bastia's attack this time.

We didn't dare to relax at all in the defense on the right.

The attack can only be launched from the left and the center, which makes their offensive means somewhat scarce.

Hajibegic watched the scene from the sidelines and nodded secretly. The current situation was what he had predicted.

Rennes is not a team that is good at positional warfare.

Now with Gaio's distraction, their right-back dares not move forward, and they lose another offensive means.

Although Ryan's attack line continued to press forward as time passed.

Quickly pass the ball in front of the penalty area, trying to tear open Bastia's defense.

However, the Bastia players were extremely focused on defense and did not give Rennes any chance despite being in good physical condition in the first half.

"Rennes has not yet been able to penetrate Bastia's defense. Although they have 70 percent possession, they are unable to convert that possession into offensive efficiency."

The commentator observed the situation on the field and continued, "On the contrary, Bastia, with the advantage of home court, is becoming more and more confident in defense. They don't have the nervousness that lower-level league teams have when facing Ligue 1 teams."

"And with Gaio's defenders on the right side congested, Bastia's counterattack on the left was impressive.

Ryan is now extremely passive!"

Courtside.

Antonetti looked at the time and saw that it had been thirty minutes, his brows furrowed more and more.

He found that although he had restricted Gaio, if it were not for the relatively low offensive level of other Bastia players, Rennes would have lost the ball by now.

If this continues, Gaio is not performing.

But he didn't dare bet that others would never score.

He needs to think of a solution.

Mbappe was not very interested in other people in the stands. His eyes were always on Gaio, and of course, he would occasionally look at Gilles on the Rennes bench.

Wondering if Giles would have a chance to play in the second half.

Competing with Gaio?
"Killian, that Gaio isn't that great either. I only saw him make one good breakthrough and pass. The rest of the time, he just passed the ball around at best, without much else to show for himself."

Etang Mbappé, who is only six years old, spoke his mind.

Mbappé smiled and touched his head. "Gio will show his ability. Don't worry, there is still an hour."

Wilfried used his identity as a football coach to educate Etang in advance. He said to Etang, "Etang, remember, a good striker doesn't have to have the ball all the time. As long as he can stand in the key position and score the ball when the opportunity arises, he is a good striker."

Etang seemed lost in thought.

Mbappe, like all the Bastia fans in the stadium, was looking forward to Gaio.

Gaio roamed the field.

He was relatively relaxed during this period, as the opponent had at least three people on the right who could form a defensive line at any time when he got the ball.

Therefore, he is mostly restraining others.

Let your teammates fight back.

quickly,

After Rennes' attack in the frontcourt was intercepted, Rothen kicked the ball to Davide in the middle.

In this match, Hagibegic gave David the task of using his speed to rush forward.

"Don't save your energy, you only have half a game!"

David kept Hagibegic's words in mind and moved quickly when he got the ball.

His attack in the middle forced Rennes players to intercept him.

Gaio saw the situation change and immediately moved forward. As he moved, the defensive players around him also started to move.

But after all, Gaio is the dominant party.

The defense was always passive. After he made a forward run, Rennes' players could only predict what he was going to do and try to block his route in advance.

Gaio follows up with a right.

After Davide brought the ball to a position seven or eight meters in front of the penalty area, he quickly passed the ball to Gaio's feet.

Gaio catches the ball.

Wow!
The fans at the scene immediately cheered and everyone's eyes were on Gaio.

Danzig followed immediately.

There is also Apam on the front side of Gaio.

The advantages of a big black player like Apam are speed and strength, so when facing Gaio, he did not dare to give Gaio space. He had failed many times against Gaio before, so this time he didn't think twice and just made a flying tackle at the football!
When Gaio saw Apam's movement to the ground, he had already prepared a response.

With a flick of his toe, the ball raced past Upam's feet. In a split second, he lifted his leg to avoid the tackle, took a few steps forward, and continued advancing with the ball.

At this time, there was only the last defensive player in front of him, and Danze who was following behind him.

Gaio looked at the situation in the middle lane.

Davide has a vacant seat!

Gaio passed the ball to Davide without any hesitation.

Davide received the ball in the open space and then adjusted it to his dominant left foot.

Rennes goalkeeper Costil is ready.

At the same time, J. Boyer in front of Gaio also rushed over to provide reinforcements.

Bang!
Davide didn't hesitate any further and made a fake shot before passing the ball.

To everyone's surprise, the football came in front of Gaio.

Swish!
Gaio's shot almost hit the empty net.

boom! !

Bastia scored first!!
at this moment,
The entire Thessaly Stadium was boiling with excitement. No Bastia fan was still sitting. They all stood up and waved everything in their hands wildly.

"Geo!"

"Geo!!"

Cheers gathered together to form a sharp sword, piercing into the Mediterranean night sky.

Mbappe cheered when Gaio scored.

"Gaio scored!"

He said to his brother, "See? Gaio scored a goal. I told him to wait a little longer, and he will score!"

Etang actually saw nothing.

He is too short.

As the fans stood up, his view was completely blocked.

Gaio rushed to the stands.

Facing the die-hard fans in the north stand, he patted the team logo on his chest.

Hajibegic said that the team logo is not a piece of cloth, but the backbone of Bastia.

Now, he has stood up straight!
"Geo!!!"

The fans in the stands were so excited that they had no words to say. They could only keep shouting Gaio's name to vent their emotions.

That surge of passion and inspiration goes straight to the sky.

Boiling like the blue sea, boundless!

David was the first to rush up and hugged Gaio, shouting his name.

Then more and more teammates rushed up!

Now is Bastia's time!
