Chapter Eighty-Six: A Goal That Brings Hope

It's a good chance, a good chance to change the score, to change the situation.

Reeves knew this, but time didn't allow him to think about it.

When the ball came to his feet, Reeves had his back to the goal at the edge of the box, and Kaladze was behind him, Nesta returned from the wing to the middle, and Gattuso also ran to this side, Reeves had to deal with the ball quickly, otherwise the attack would end here.

Almost instantly, Reeves made his choice, Karazek was not slow, but strong in general, and Reeves decided to take advantage of this.

Reeves picked the ball up and lifted it over his own and Kaladze's heads, and at the same time, Reeves spun around quickly and accelerated to squeeze Kaladze behind him.

Reeves's action was too sudden, almost the moment he received the ball, Karadze didn't react at all, when the ball flew overhead, he was first surprised, and then he remembered to stop Reeves' advance, and slammed sideways, intending to separate Reeves from the ball, the ball can pass, but people can't.

But as if he had hit a mountain, Karadze failed to occupy his position, but was slammed away by Reeves's strong body, staggered, and gave up his position.

No, you can't put this guy into the penalty area, when the card position fails, Kaladze is full of this idea, today and Reeves entangled in half the game, Kaladze knows that the opponent's shooting skills are not bad, and after himself, he will face the goalkeeper, Dida is not good at dealing with single knives, this is recognized, and according to pre-game analysis, Reeves is extremely good at single knives, and the opponent has a great chance of scoring.

Kaladze decided to foul because he felt Dida was more sure of the penalty than this one.

But just about to foul, Kaladze turned around, and before he had time to put the shovel, he felt like he hit the wall again, because Reeves stopped suddenly, Kaladze hit Reeves' back, stood unsteadily and fell backwards, and could only see the No. 22 on the jersey behind Reaves was eye-catching and abnormal, Kaladze didn't understand why Reeves stopped suddenly, according to the pre-game information, didn't he like to cross the goalkeeper and shoot again?

Reeves certainly likes to dribble past the goalkeeper before shooting, but he has a better option at this point because he sees Dida's position.

Dida was admittedly a good match for Buffon before being hit on the head by the Inter fans, with quick reflexes, concentration, goal-line skills, a good defensive shot, a good penalty and a dangerous shot (a bit like De Gea now). However, the disadvantage is that the range of movement is small, the attack is more cautious, and often shrinks on the goal line and does not attack. It is known as "first-class on the goal line, third-rate outside the goal line"

And this time, Dida decided to attack at the moment when Reeves picked up the ball, because at halftime, Reeves' shot forced him to make a number of world-class saves, and at this moment, facing Reeves, who got rid of the defense, Dida was not sure to block Reeves' shot in front of the goal.

However, as soon as he took two steps, he saw Reeves stop suddenly, and his keen intuition made Dida realize that something was wrong and was about to retreat.

But it was too late, Reeves didn't wait for the ball to land, quickly toe up, a beautiful arc from his feet, with a huge arc, flew towards the AC Milan goal.

A lob shot after a lob has passed.

Dida stopped his rush and looked at the ball backwards, trying to block the ball, but he failed.

The ball flew past his fingertips and landed in the goal behind him, stirring up with the snow-white net like a white splash.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!” Florent stood up the moment Reeves picked up the ball and lobbed it, "Great goal!! The light pick completed the ball separation, and then did not wait for the ball to land again to complete the shot, a genius pass and shot! It was Napoleon Reeves who scored the goal!!!! ”

"It was Reeves' third goal in the Champions League! It was also an extremely important goal that restored the suspense of the game to Lille, who were just one goal behind. ”

As the ball crossed the goal line, the Felix Bollard Stadium was instantly set on fire, and a huge cheer rang out, drowning out all the sounds on the pitch, including the referee's whistle that ruled the goal valid.

Lille fans jumped wildly in their seats, waving everything in their hands and cheering for the goal!

Reeves roared and rushed to the sidelines, "We are fearless Lille!", Reeves stood under the stands and kissed the team emblem on his jersey, as the team song sings: We are fearless Lille. No matter how strong the opponent is, we will not easily admit defeat!

The fans in the stands chanted Reeves' name in response, we are fearless Lille fans, and so are our players.

"Reeves! Reeves! Reeves! ”

"The Borral Stadium is shaking, man, do you feel it?" Florent leaned over to look at the jumping crowd in the stands below the commentary bench and said loudly that he had been standing since the goal was scored.

"It was Reeves who set this stadium on fire." He didn't wait for the commentary partner, but that didn't stop Florent from continuing, "This season, Reeves has stepped up to save the team when the team was in danger several times, and this time is no exception, and the fans of Lille are so happy. ”

"But I'm from Lens." The commentator next to him, Tresor, secretly said in his heart that although he didn't like the Lille team, and he didn't like Reeves even more, he was also shocked by this wonderful goal, and it would be nice if he was from the Lens team.

Puel on the sidelines has been nervously watching everything on the field, although the team's offensive quality in the second half has improved, and the field is not lagging behind, but the delay in opening the situation makes Puel very anxious.

Lille team has one less person on the field to respond, plus two goals behind, Lille is relying on the breath of his heart to maintain the momentum of the attack, if it can't attack for a long time, then Lille's morale will plummet, it will be a disaster.

Reeves' goal came in time, pulling a goal back with more than 30 minutes to go, which is a huge morale boost, especially for this young team, and a confidence boost, and finally scoring after the onslaught, proving that the opponent is not indestructible, and since we have scored one goal, the next goal will not be far away.

There was still hope for the game, and Puel decided to replace Keita with the energetic Bastos, leaving him and Debich in charge of pressing high up front, freeing up energy for Reaves to attack. Due to the deep retreat of the AC Milan defense in this game, Reeves sprinted much less than usual, and his stamina should be able to support until the end of the game.

With one less person on the field, Puel didn't dare to let Bodmeier press too high, so he could only put the hope of this game on Reeves, and find the loopholes in Milan's offensive and defensive transitions by teamwork, but the end of the game still needed Reeves to complete the goal.

I don't know when Reeves has become very important to Lille, although he has not yet fully integrated into the system, Reeves's explosive ability is something that the previous Lille team lacked.

Now, all Puel needs to do is get all the players to make room for Reeves' explosion.

Go to fight, Reeves! I'll give you a stage, and I hope you will surprise me.
