Chapter 5: Hat-tricks

Entered! It's really in! Reeves shook his head hard before he was convinced that he had knocked on Rennes' goal again. When the pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info scored the first goal, although he was ecstatic, but in order to seize the time to equalize, he did not celebrate at all, and Reeves always had a regret in his heart. At this moment, now that he has equalized and secured a place in next season's Champions Cup, he does not have to worry about time and can use this to delay the game, how can Reeves let go of the opportunity to vent his joy.

He ran wildly to a stand, it was a white in the bright red, the home jersey of Lille Rennes was red, in order to distinguish it from the bright red of the home team, the more than 1,000 Leille fans who came to cheer today were wearing the same white jerseys as the players on the field.

Most of the stadiums in Ligue 1 are English-style stadiums, and the same is true of the Rennes-Lorient Road Stadium, which is separated from the stands by a billboard, and Reeves jumped directly onto the advertising platform, raised his fist to the sky, and was greeted by deafening cheers, and more than a thousand pairs of arms, and the crazy delighted Lille fans sang praises to their heroes. Reeves enjoyed the cheers and praises of the fans, looking up at the starry sky, the stars twinkling in the sky, and he didn't think about anything else, just said to himself firmly, the stars in the sky are dazzling, I will be the brightest one, from here, conquer France, conquer Europa, conquer the world.

Lille coach Puel waved his fists, looked at Reeves who was celebrating wildly, and cheered to the fullest, my little hero, this is the glory you deserve, this is your moment.

It wasn't until all his teammates flocked to him that Reeves reluctantly jumped off the billboard. Teammates frantically threw Reeves to the ground, this goal is too important, entering the Champions Cup is not only an honor, but also means a lot of material gains, as a player, isn't it for fame and profit?

When Reeves was pulled up from the ground, he was dying, and Reeves secretly hated these beasts, and they didn't know how to be reserved. At this time, the 34-year-old captain Patrick Corot on the bench rushed over, hugged Reeves, and rubbed his mud-stained hair, "Good job!" Little Napoleon! Thank you! It doesn't matter if you can get into the Champions Cup or not, you are the most important thing, and I have no regrets about seeing the future of Lille from the sidelines! I can retire with peace of mind and I will always be in the stands to cheer you on! Cheers to you! Long live Lille!!" The voice was slightly choked.

The 34-year-old captain Collot is a native of Lille, all his youth has been dedicated to Lille, whether it is in the face of the solicitation of many giants, or the dark years when Lille fell into the second division, he has never given up, and the loyal old captain is the pride of Lille. For Reeves, who grew up watching the old captain play, Collot's praise is the best reward and the greatest motivation.

Reeves, who was full of excitement, nodded fiercely, looked at the vicissitudes of the old captain's face, and responded confidently: "Don't worry, I will become the new pride of Lille, and I will make Lille the new pride of Ligue 1." ”

In the encouraging eyes of the old captain, Reeves slowly ran into the court, his steps were so calm, his back was so firm, and No. 45 was so eye-catching, come on! For yourself! For the sake of the old captain! For Lille!

Inside the Rue de Lorient stadium, the cheers of the Lille fans have been drowned out by the boos of the home fans, a score that means Rennes will be squeezed out of the European places. Rennes fans couldn't believe it, leading for more than 80 minutes, only to be equalized by a youngster who made his debut on the field. can only use the loud boos to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart.

At 88 minutes, the whistle blew and the game restarted, leaving little time for Rennes, and with the addition of three minutes of stoppage time, there were only five minutes left. The home side replaced full-back Grigory Borion with their last substitution and brought on Nigeria international Utaka, the 'Striker for the Whip', ready to make a last-ditch effort.

Gourcuff did not perform badly in this game, assisting Frey to score the first goal, but at the moment he blamed himself deeply, he stubbornly believed that his carelessness gave Reeves a chance, and he could not forgive himself for this mistake after becoming the core of Rennes' midfield at the age of 17. A mediocre player will be crushed by self-blame, while a good player will be driven by self-blame. Gourcuff was one such player, clenching his fists and shouting to his team-mates: "Don't give up, there's still time, take your chances, just score a goal." All teammates nodded in response.

Wren launched a final assault on the Lille hinterland.

On 90 minutes, Frei gave the football to last season's Ligue 1 assist leader Olivier on the left. Monte Rubio.

Monterubio won the ball on the left and used his pace to go all the way down, and the Lille defence was like a big enemy, and right-back Stefan Lichsteiner quickly met it, and central defender Rafael Brown. Schmitz fills in behind him.

Monte Rubio saw that there was no chance to take advantage of it, he didn't dare to delay the time, and passed the ball back to Gourcuff who came to respond, Gourcuff took the ball and moved directly to the middle laterally, Jian Macon naturally did not let him dribble the ball comfortably, and his strong body went straight to it, and the experienced Jian Macon knew that technical players like Gourcuff have always been afraid of physical contact, and usually hide when touched. However, Gourcuff, who has always resisted the impact of the body, is fearless at the moment, runs the ball away, suffers a blow, endures the pain caused by the impact, tries his best to stabilize his body, and quickly catches up with the football, at this time he has burst into the penalty area, Lichtsteiner has stopped on the forward line, Gourcuff's right foot swings lightly, and passes to Frei on the left side, Lichtsteiner is immediately fooled, the center of gravity has moved to his right side, Gourcuff's right foot crosses the ball, turns the kick into a pull, pulls the ball to the right side gently, dodges the angle is a strong shot, The ball turned into a white light and shot into the top right corner of the goal.

In the desperate eyes of the Lille players, Lille goalkeeper Tony Silva saved Lille, and Silva, who did not play well throughout the game, made a world-class save, only to see him fly in the air, his body stretched, his arms extended, and he supported the flying football with one palm.

"What a pity! Toni Silva made a great save and he made the redemption! Gourcuff was also brilliant, just unlucky. ”

Gurkuf fell to his knees, covered his head with his hands, and looked at the net in disbelief, but it didn't make it.

Reeves, near the halfway line, saw Gourcuff break through layers of defense and complete the shot, and the moment the football shot into the corner, his heart went to his throat. If he had been scored, all his efforts would have been in vain. Thankfully, God bless Lille! Silva is good.

Rennes won a corner. At this point, it was 91 minutes and 20 seconds.

"There is only one minute left until the end of the game, and this is Rennes' last attack!" The CANAL+ commentators managed to stabilize their excitement, and it was really a game with ups and downs.

The director turned the camera to the vicinity of the midfield, and a figure ran towards the Lille goal, "Huh! It was Rennes goalkeeper Isakson, who seemed ready to make the last ditch. ”

Jim. Karlström squared the ball and looked at the crowd in front of goal, the front point or the back point? It's still in the middle, the 1.99-meter Isaksen has a clear height advantage, and even if he can't grab it, it can cause chaos.

As the referee's whistle blew, Karlström drove the ball into the middle of the goal and landed exactly above Isaksen, who leaped high and crushed Lichtsteiner under him, smashing his forehead into the ball and flicking his neck hard at the goal!

Bang! With a soft sound, the football hit the post and bounced back, and Lichtsteiner, who fell to the ground, reacted quickly, didn't have time to get up, and directly stretched out his foot to kick the ball out, due to poor force, the football did not kick far and fell to the edge of the penalty area.

Standing on the edge of the box, Cabaye and Gourcuff jumped up at the same time, and Cabaye got to the top of the ball first, and the ball continued to fly towards the center circle. Fell at the feet of Reeves.

Reeves turned around with the ball, and at a glance, there was only one defender in the opposing half standing 3 meters in front of the arc of the penalty area, and then looked at the referee, who was looking at his watch, and the whistle was already in his mouth. It seems that it is too late to dribble into the half, so it is better to take a gamble. No longer hesitating, propping up the ground with his left foot, picking up his right foot in the air, and kicking towards the ball.

Off the field, Rennes coach Boloni couldn't help but be anxious and shouted: "Hurry up and run back!" ”

Grigory Boulillon, who was left behind in the Rennes half, saw Reeves getting up and about to shoot, and hurriedly turned and ran towards the goal.

The football flew high into the air, drawing a beautiful parabola in the air,

The stadium was surprisingly quiet, everyone held their breath, staring at the football in the air, Boulillon had spread his feet and ran back, his feet had just stepped into the small penalty area, but he found a small round black shadow floating forward from under his feet, looking up in despair, the flying football was so far away. After taking a few steps in vain, he sat down on the ground in frustration.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the football fell rapidly, and finally fell into the goal with a cross......

In the 93rd minute, Rennes 2-3 Lille, Reeves came on in the 21st minute, the third goal.

"Oh, lore! 93 minutes, 2 to 3! The score of the former is the tragic Rennes! The latter is lucky Lille! It was the miraculous Napoleon who created everything! He gave us so many surprises today, a super lob of around 55 meters, which was also one of the longest goals since the Ligue 1 merger, and the 16-year-old Napoleon sent Lille into the Champions League with a super long-range lob to knock Rennes out of the European competition. ”

The stands at the Rue de Rennes-Lorient stadium were full of joy and sorrow, and the home fans watched in silence at the striking score on the big screen of the stadium: 2-3, not long ago they were dreaming of a European battlefield, but in the blink of an eye there was nothing, and the victory that was once extremely close is now a flower moon in the water. Fans who can't accept all this are holding their heads, with tears in the corners of their eyes, but they don't know how to vent and scold angrily? Mocking? Curse? All in vain. They could only sit there quietly, savoring the loss of powerlessness.

The visitors' fan zone was a sea of joy as Lille fans rose from their seats, waving their arms and celebrating wildly, but who doesn't love a win despite a hard-fought draw that has secured them a place in next season's Champions League.

As soon as he kicked the ball out, Reeves stopped and stood in the center circle, his eyes moving to the ball in the air, and when the ball crossed Boulillon, he knew it had been scored. But when the football grazed the crossbar and actually fell into the goal, Reeves's mind went blank, and when he heard the referee's whistle confirming the validity of the goal, he suddenly came to his senses, ran wildly, and went straight to the bench on the sidelines.

On the bench, veteran captain Korot had just hugged his players in celebration and was about to return to his seat. was thrown to the ground by Reeves from behind, and then the other players who roared in on them also pounced on the two and stacked Arhat.

These boys don't respect the old at all. Korot ached and relieved.

At 16 years, 5 months and 14 days, Napoleon scored a hat-trick on his debut, replacing Jeremy Menez as the youngest player in Ligue 1 history to complete a hat-trick, advancing Menez's record of 17 years, 8 months and 15 days by more than a year. It's incredible that the amazing Napoleon set so many records in his first professional game! He's only 16 years old! The possibilities are endless! ”
