On the last day of August, the weather was clear and cloudless.

A message on the official website of Lille Club has stirred up the calm of Lille City.

"The team has reached an agreement with free agent Kluivert, and 29-year-old Dutch striker Patrick Kluivert is now a new member of the team, so we welcome him and let's work together to create success."

The other news did not cause waves, "The team's striker Odem Winge has officially transferred to Lokomotiv Moscow for a transfer fee of 1,000 euros, thanking him for his contribution to Lille in the past two seasons, and also wishing him a bright future in Russia." ”

Kluivert's arrival caused a huge sensation among Lille fans, because this is the biggest star in Lille's transfer history, although he is no longer at his peak, but Lille fans are already satisfied, he is the holder of the Dutch national team's goal record, as long as this record is not broken, then Kluivert is destined to be one of the most important in football history.

And for the departure of Odem Wengi, Lille fans seem very calm, in a small club like Lille, it is not the first time that the player pursues a lucrative contract and leaves, and it is not the last, the fans have seen it, it is good to get together and disperse, there are no bad words, only blessings.

The media has had mixed reviews of the two transfers.

For the departure of Odem Wenge, most of the media believe that the strength of the Lille team has been damaged as a result, although the Lille team is doing well, but when it comes to the double game in a week, the heavy task of the game needs a quality player like Odem Wenji as a rotation. A small number of media outlets believe that the removal of unrest will actually help Lille's results.

As for Kluivert's arrival, the media's opinions are surprisingly unified, all of which are bearish, they believe that although Kluivert is a superstar, his strength is not as good as before, and even the ability to substitute is worrying, and Kluivert's off-the-field rights and wrongs are too much, this former genius has an innate restless character, ****, brawls and speeding and other scandals are always with him, and these troubles will have a bad impact on the young Lille team.

Even Lille's local newspaper "Northern Sport" was not optimistic about him, and the editor-in-chief personally wrote and criticized the transfer.

"What does a former superstar with a bad record off the field and a squander of talent bring to Lille?

Disaster! Disaster! Disaster!

All it can bring is disaster!

First of all, it was a failed contract.

There are generally three purposes for signing people, one is to supplement the immediate combat power, the second is to find a replacement for the team, and the third is to invest in the future of the team.

And since Kluivert was swept away from Barcelona by Rijkaard, he has lost the most important thing for a striker - goals, wandering in England, Spain, and the Netherlands, with a total of less than 10 goals in total, how can such an ability establish himself in Ligue 1? Then he definitely can't be counted as instant combat power.

Kluivert is 29 years old, an age that is the prime for other players, and it is indeed the twilight of his career, and after twilight is destined to be darkness, then he is certainly not an investment in the future of the team.

He can only come as a substitute, but I don't think it's a good option because he's not going to be a qualified substitute or even a good Lille. On the field, now he has a lazy style of play, is afraid of confrontation, and it is completely foolish to expect him to come on the field to change the situation, and it is more useful to be a striker in the echelon than him. And off the field, in France, and even in Europe, he is the representative of trouble, he has all the vices of professional players off the field, and he definitely does not play a positive role in the dressing room.

So I think this signing is a failure!

Secondly, it is a dangerous signing.

As long as you know Kluivert's past, you will find that Reeves and Kluivert are very similar when they were young, they are also famous as teenagers and equally talented.

Because of this similar experience, I fear that Reeves will be influenced by him, and that he will continue his trajectory and go down.

If Puel's signing is still the idea of finding a master for Reeves.

Congratulations, Mr. Puel, you've found the right person!

Kluivert will teach our Reeves how to play the ball, how to organize, how to cooperate.

But Kluivert will also teach him how to squander his talents, how to enrich his nightlife, how to kill people, and how to force women to women.

I can already foresee Reeves' future under the influence of Kluivert, hanging out in nightclubs, slacking in training, slipping in form, and constantly right and wrong.

So I think it's a dangerous signing. ”

The article was long, it took Reeves a long time to read it, and the editor-in-chief of the newspaper seemed very unhappy with the club's signing, and it was rare to see such an anti-club article in the Northern Sports Newspaper. In the later article, the last time I went to the nightclub, it was mentioned again, hey, Reeves was a little helpless, it turned out that the legendary city gate fire affected the pond fish.

However, Reeves was not angry because of this, the starting point of the article is good, and it makes sense, so take it as a warning. He believes in his control, he is not influenced by others, he will only be himself.

The day after the official announcement, Reeves saw Kluivert in the locker room of the training base, with a familiar face, a somewhat decadent expression, and a slight fat body, but what did not change was the shy smile on his face.

Puel introduced the new player to the big name, and the scene was a bit cold, because many people advised their players to keep their distance from Kluivert, and no one wanted their employers to learn from this figure, squander their talents, and enter the end of their careers early.

Kluivert's face was a little embarrassed, but he was not angry, he knew his current reputation, and he was mentally prepared before coming.

Seeing some displeasure on Puel's face, Reeves stabbed Cabaye beside him, and the two took the lead in applauding, welcoming Kluivert's arrival, and the others also applauded when they saw someone in the lead.

Although the applause was sparse, it still made Puel and Kluivert's faces much better.

The locker next to Fowegay originally belonged to Odeimwini and now belongs to Kluivert, who also owns the No. 9 shirt left by Odeimwini.

Reeves has long coveted the No. 9 jersey, and if Odem Wenji doesn't leave, he won't be able to speak, but as soon as the guy left, before Reeves could speak, Kluivert came, and by the way, he had the number. For the sake of unity within the team, Reeves can only extinguish this thought.

It's the first time to have such a big-name teammate, Reeves is actually very excited, and in his previous life, he will definitely go up and ask for an autograph.

But Reeves can't do that kind of fan behavior at the moment, because he's also a player, he has his own pride, and he's going to be the one who signs.

The rest of the players went out after changing their clothes, and Reeves and Kluivert were left in the locker room.

After changing clothes, Reeves walked towards Kluivert.

"Hi Patrick, nice to meet you!"

Reeves stretched out his right hand, opened his palm, and hung in the air, releasing goodwill, since Kluivert is here, he is a member of the team, and he will fight side by side for a season in the future, and the relationship can't be too stiff, and of course, he can't be too close, because his bad reputation won't be groundless.

Reeves defined the relationship between the two as not far away, as he and Cabaye said, just teammates, not friends.

"Nice to meet you too!" Kluivert shook Reeves' hand in some surprise, the young man could speak Dutch! What was even more surprising was the other party's attitude towards him.

He knows who Reeves is, Lille's rising star, who made a name for himself last season and has become popular in Ligue 1 this season, and his Asian-European appearance is easily recognizable. He also saw the arguments in the newspapers, and it stands to reason that this young man should have stayed away.

"You're new to the team, you can ask me if there's anything you don't know."

After becoming friends with Hazard, Reeves learned Dutch from him, Dutch is one of the official languages of Belgium except French, and it is easy for anyone with a basic knowledge of English to learn it, because Dutch is the closest language to English in the world.

For the mobilization of football players, it is necessary to learn an additional language, whether it is with referees, media, teammates or coaches, barrier-free communication will receive unexpected benefits.

"Okay." Kluivert nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Thank you." ”

The two exchanged contact information and walked out of the locker room together.

Kluivert did not participate in the joint training because he had suffered a previous injury and had not played for a long time, and Puel arranged for a fitness coach to take him to recovery training.

Reeves also looked at it a few times in his spare time from training, in terms of physical fitness alone, Kluivert was not as good as before, these recovery training projects Reeves did it easily, but Kluivert did it a little hard, and he was already sweating profusely after only an hour. Despite this, Reeves did not see any complaints from him, and continued to complete the training program assigned by the coach seriously, not at all as lazy as the outside world said.

I don't know if this situation can continue, whether it will be a reform or a relapse, Reeves will wait and see.

Puel, who was on the sidelines, also frequently looked at Kluivert on the side, this trouble so far, everything is fine, but Puel is still a little uneasy, and decided to find a time to talk to Kluivert.

The deadline for Champions League entries is September 3, which is the day after tomorrow, and Puel has decided to make a decision on whether to bring Kluivert or not.
