Chapter Ninety-Six: Reversal of Public Opinion

In the end, Lille gave Nice the three points away from the Stadio de Lille.

0-1!

Lille picked up their second defeat of the season, while Reeves picked up their first loss of the season.

After the game, Reeves, who was in a bad mood, did not leave the field early and still participated in the thank you to the home fans.

Slowly walking under the stands with his teammates, Reeves was a little dazed.

Accustomed to cheering after a win, Reeves is not comfortable with the current atmosphere on the court.

For the first time, Reeves saw the disappointed faces of the fans on the spot, and unlike the onlookers on the television, this time he was confronted with the fans' disappointment.

It wasn't a nice experience, and while there was no scolding, no insults, just disappointed expressions, and occasional applause, it was certainly all the more uncomfortable.

-------------------

Friendship first is just a slogan, and victory is the main thing in professional football.

So the public opinion of winning and losing is completely different.

After the game, Reeves quickly saw the cruelty of reality.

Reeves is the best player in the position so far this season, and Lille are the best team outside of Lyon, so the media has paid the most attention, and the same has been true since this game, although the tone has changed.

The day before yesterday, the newspapers were full of praise, but today's newspapers are full of depreciation of Lille and Reeves, believing that the fate of Lille and Reeves has been exposed, and the future is worrying.

Le Figaro wrote prominently on the sports page: "The barrel of Ligue 1's hottest goalscorer was doused by Nice with a lake, Reeves suffered a Waterloo, it has nothing to do with form, his technical limitations have led to all this, and this is undoubtedly the most terrifying, as long as other teams do the same, then Reeves will enter a difficult period." ”

The headline of the "Liberation" newspaper is a picture of Reeves sitting on the bench with a dejected face, and the text under the picture reads: Look at the expression on Reeves's face, you can know the play of this game, and it is bold to speculate that Reeves's expression will last for a long time.

"Evening France" still uses data to speak, "65 minutes on the field, 2 shots on goal, 0 goals, this should obviously not be Reeves's data, and the performance of the last game is like two people, the sluggish Reeves led Lille to failure!" ”

Le Monde used a cartoon of Reeves tied hand to leg with rope and watched Nice hit the ball into the goal. The text reads: "It turned out that it was so easy to freeze Reeves, what Ancelotti didn't do, Nice coach Antonetti did it, he showed the rest of the Ligue 1 team how to deal with Reeves, and Reeves's dream show ended here." ”

Although he knew that there would be no good news in the newspapers after the game, Reeves was still very upset to see the positions of these media change so quickly, and the presence of Ronaldo a moment ago is now Denilson, which is changing so quickly.

He is still the second highest scorer in Ligue 1, 7 goals in 5 games in Ligue 1, 4 goals in 2 Champions League games, and it is a good stat when and where, but now in the mouth of the media, it seems that he will not be able to score goals in the future, just because a game is frozen.

Reeves finally believed that the media was the most unpositional thing in the world, oh, wrong, there was a newspaper with a position, Lens Sport, which took a stand for Haliel and himself.

Finding the newspaper, Reeves was ready to see if there was anything new in this black.

"Reeves is undoubtedly the most overrated rising star in Ligue 1 history, and before the match with Nice, only we thought his ceiling would not be too high, and most of the French media were talking about Reves' ceiling, talking about who he would be next, Fontaine? Papan? Henry? Then after this game, all the discussion can be stopped. ”

"Despite his excellent technique, superb shooting skills and fighting spirit, he has the biggest shortcoming, he can't head the ball, since he was on the professional field, Reeves has not completed a header, not a single one, which is very rare in the history of football, in modern football, headers are an indispensable part, a striker who can't head the ball is destined not to be a trustworthy existence."

"I can't believe that so many people have ignored this weakness until Antonetti told the world with the facts that it was Reeves' Achilles heel, a weakness that affected his career, and who would now think that he can reach the heights of those great strikers in the history of France."

"In addition, in this game, Reeves exposed more than that, he needs space to start, and he has a strong ability to break through long distances, but he gets rid of the lack of breakthrough ability in a small space, and it is difficult to get out of the predicament after falling into the bag."

"He's overrated, and the lack of attention from his opponents and his luck have kept Reaves going well. But as long as you are familiar with him, then he is not as dangerous as Mr. Poel on the sidelines, at least, Mr. Poel can put pressure on the referee on the sidelines, and Reeves does not even dare to catch the ball in the air with his head. ”

"So in the next game, the managers of Ligue 1, rest assured to defend the ground pass, rest assured to cover Reeves, you will gain a lot."

Reeves put down the newspaper in his hand, the most familiar with himself is still the enemy, he has gained a lot from the game, and put his weaknesses on the surface, unlike other newspapers that say very vaguely, the header is indeed his biggest weakness, and the bag is also the situation he is most afraid of encountering at present.

Mr. Butol is now eager to teach other coaches to arrange formations to deal with him, and later listed his other weaknesses, such as lack of tacit understanding, lack of vision, and so on.

Reeves feels that he has gained a lot, these are the directions he will work hard to solve in the future, and his mood is much better, at least the direction of improvement is there, and the next thing to do is to make himself stronger, and use time and facts to prove himself.

Reeves cut out the part about himself in this issue of "Lens Sports" and pasted it behind the cabinet door in the locker room of the training base, so that he could see it every day during training, remind himself that these existing weaknesses need to go to customer service, and also remind himself that there is an enemy behind him, just waiting for his poor performance to fall into the ground, and he can't give the other party a chance.

When their technical characteristics are understood, it will become difficult to score goals, in fact, for this Reeves actually expected for a long time, since the new season, he is also improving the tacit understanding between himself and his teammates through team training, and solving the difficulties that may be encountered by improving the passing cooperation.

But his Ligue 1 journey was too smooth, and the continuous goals made him a little fluttering, thinking that Ligue 1 was nothing more than that, and the Serie A La Liga Premier League was his goal, which made Reeves not have a little urgency, and the progress of training couldn't help but slow down.

Now it seems that Ligue 1 is not so easy, and he was found a way to deal with it by the Ligue 1 team so quickly. Training progress needs to be accelerated.
