The road to godhood starting from Ligue 1 Chapter 048

However,

To the reporters’ astonishment, Haxhibegic faced their questions.

He said, “Yes, we are temporarily first in the league. We have no pressure because we only want to stay in the league. The current situation is good, everything is under our control, and we want to continue this journey.

Of course, every upcoming match is the team’s most important match. The last time we were ranked so high in Ligue 2 was back in 1968. My goodness, I was only an 11-year-old child then. So, we must be down-to-earth, take it one step at a time, and play every match well.”

Haxhibegic still wants to stay in the league!

The reporters couldn’t help but laugh, and even Rothen, who was standing beside Haxhibegic, was struggling to suppress his laughter.

Meanwhile,

Reims’ coach, Fournier, couldn’t laugh. It was as he had expected.

The reporters indeed brought up his previous statement – that he could prevent Gaye from scoring – and asked him how he viewed Gaye’s performance in this match.

Actually, most reporters were discerning and wouldn’t ask such sharp questions.

But the reporter who asked this question was from Corse-Matin.

Fournier’s face darkened, and he said, “Excuse me, I have some urgent matters to attend to.”

Then he turned around and left the post-match press conference directly.

He refused to be interviewed!

Fournier did not directly answer the question, but this didn’t stump the Bastia reporter, who immediately thought of related articles.

For example, “Boasted before the match that Gaye couldn’t score, then broke down and refused interviews after the match,” or “Fournier was speechless, stunned by Gaye’s performance,” and so on.

In any case, Bastia won!

The fans celebrated at Stade Armand Cesari for a long time before leaving, then streamed into various pubs.

The team had reached the top!

The championship no longer seemed like a dream.

One fan said, “Are we really going to win the National 3 championship last year, and then the Ligue 2 championship this year? And then the Ligue 1 championship next year?! Hahaha, three consecutive promotions, three consecutive championships! How legendary would that be!”

“Did your wife’s thigh crush your brain? We can still hope for the Ligue 2 championship, but the Ligue 1 championship, what are you thinking?”

“Hey, hey, you have to have dreams!”

“I’d rather believe your son isn’t yours than believe the team can win Ligue 1. I love the team, but I’m not stupid.”

“Aha? I suspect you’re insulting me…”

“Hahaha!”

The fans were full of laughter amidst the alcohol and victory.

Gaye’s face was also full of smiles when he showered after the match, victory points!

He had reached a hundred again!

In this match against Reims, he earned 20 points, probably because he scored the only goal, which was more than the previous match.

Currently, he had 110 victory points.

Without much thought, he directly chose the victory chest.

As he always said, he needed to strengthen his abilities more than increase his potential now.

After all, he hadn’t even reached his current attribute limits.

[Exchange successful!]

[Victory Points – 100, Remaining Victory Points: 10]

[Obtained: Victory Chest * 1]

Gaye immediately chose to open it.

[Open Victory Chest * 1]

[Obtained random enhancement ability – Speed attribute receives additional enhancement!]

[Speed Enhancement + 1: Additional effect, gains secondary acceleration ability. When speed reaches maximum speed, can overdraft stamina for secondary acceleration, speed increases by 10%. This increase is calculated based on the speed attribute.

Note: When the speed attribute drops to 60, this enhancement effect disappears; the longer the acceleration lasts, the greater the stamina consumption, and the faster the body enters a state of fatigue. Forcibly secondary accelerating in a state of physical fatigue will increase the probability of muscle and ligament injuries.]

[Gained secondary acceleration ability!

Enhanced related synergistic attributes: Speed + 2, Strength + 3, Flexibility + 1]

When Gaye finished reading the dense information,

A smile appeared on his face.

Not only did he gain some synergistic attributes, but he also gained a secondary acceleration ability.

This was a breakthrough skill!

Especially when counter-attacking, when the opponent thought they could keep up with you, a sudden burst of acceleration would definitely catch them off guard.

Of course, Gaye did not forget to read the precautions. Accelerating by overdrawing stamina could lead to injury risks, so it had to be used reasonably.

It had to be said,

The victory chest was indeed powerful!

The abilities gained from attribute enhancements were all very strong, and all were proportional increases. As his basic attributes improved, these abilities would continue to improve as well.

This further increased Gaye’s motivation to grind for attributes.

His two experiences of opening chests also made him realize that each attribute enhancement would bring some related improvements.

Now, he was increasingly looking forward to the victory chests!

Unfortunately,

Victory points were difficult to obtain now.

“It seems that the only major way to get points is still through the Coupe de France.”

Gaye then looked at his attribute panel.

[Dribbling (+ 1): 83 ( 89); Passing: 78 ( 85)

Shooting: 76 ( 88); Heading: 40 ( 63)

Speed (+ 1): 70 ( 76); Strength: 66 ( 70)

Jumping: 55 ( 72); Stamina: 71 ( 82)

Defense: 20 ( 40); Tackling: 12 ( 33)

Flexibility: 64 ( 70); Ball Control: 90 ( 95)]

His defensive ability had further declined.

His offensive ability, however, had been steadily improving.

Gaye didn’t mind.

At his current stamina level, he simply couldn’t run back and forth on both ends of the pitch.

The consumption from offense alone only allowed him to play for sixty or seventy minutes.

Soon,

Gaye finished showering and returned to the locker room.

When his teammates saw Gaye, they all smiled. Rothen was the first to speak to him, “We were just talking about you. We looked at this season’s league top scorers list, and with 13 matches left, you’ve already entered the top twenty! And the gap between you and the two players currently tied for first is only 3 goals!”

Other teammates all gave Gaye a thumbs up.

Gaye hadn’t really paid attention to this information and didn’t realize that the gap in the top twenty scorers list was so small.

He said, “It’s just good luck. Everyone’s form this season is pretty average.”

Vincent added, “Hehe, the two players tied for first are precisely the two forwards from our recent opponent, Reims, Faurlin and Giras. Hahaha, we kept them from scoring a single goal in this match!”

“Go, Gaye! You have a good chance at the Golden Boot this season!”

Thirteen matches.

Catching up by three goals might be difficult for other players, especially for these forwards this season.

But the Bastia teammates had no doubt whatsoever about Gaye’s scoring ability.

Even David proactively said, “I’m out of the running. The Golden Boot is all up to you, Gaye. If the team gets a penalty later, I’m willing to let Gaye take it.”

Maolida also immediately agreed, “Me too.”

One was the team’s first penalty taker.

The other was the second penalty taker.
