Chapter 125: Meet the Teacher Again
Early the next morning, Reeves watched outside the training base for a long time to make sure that the agents didn't get up early to block the door in frenzy, and then walked out of the alley opposite the base. Eight?? 1. Chinese ≈.
After saying hello to Briss, Reeves was just in time to see his mentor Bernard walking out of the training base building with his Under-18 team-mates.
"Teacher! Where are you going?"
"Take these boys to abuse the Lancers."
Reeves understood as soon as he heard it, it should be the U18 league game against Lens, the abuse in the mouth of the teacher is not the slightest exaggeration, in recent years, the quality of Lille youth training is far from the opponent Lens, when he is in the echelon, his favorite face is the Lens youth team, with a hat on the field, occasionally a senior happy, and even has the experience of scoring five goals.
Reeves observed a moment of silence for his derby rivals before looking up to see Hazard walking out of the building with his bag on his back, and with his outstanding performance, the 15-year-old has been promoted to the Under-18s.
"Aiden! Score a few more goals. ”
"A must!" Hazard clenched his fists and waved his arms in this direction, but seeing Bernard's somewhat gloomy face, Hazard stuck out his tongue and hurriedly turned around and ran to the bus outside the door.
'Don't take him badly, he's not a striker, it's not his responsibility to score goals.'
"With you watching, how can he learn badly?" Reeves said flatteringly, he knows that Bernard values Hazard very much, he will leave the club next year, Hazard is Lille's hope for the future, and Bernard will never allow himself to disrupt his development plan for Hazard.
"Well, you kid wouldn't dare kick me in my hands, let alone him, unless he wants to clean the locker room." Bernard was self-satisfied.
Reeves nodded again and again and said that he had been punished by Bernard many times for cleaning the locker room for irregular kicking movements, which was not a wonderful experience, knowing that the locker room does not only include a place to change clothes, there is also a bathroom inside, which is the most difficult place to clean.
"I watched yesterday's game."
Reeves pricked up his ears and waited for his mentor's compliment.
'It was a good performance, it was a lot more reasonable, the two assists were beautiful and the two goals were fantastic. The praise came as scheduled, but Reeves's face was bitter, because according to what he knew about Bernard, what he said at the beginning was all foreshadowing, all nonsense, and the focus was on the back.
"But," Reeves knew that the point of his mentor's words was not to praise himself, "and the run-in with teammates should be tightened, the first goal is a set-piece cooperation, and the second goal is an opportunity to counterattack." These are destabilizing means that are easily targeted. You have to remember that only tacit cooperation can not be prevented, this is the usual means, and scoring goals based on individual ability can only be used as a special means. Only when the two are combined, can you be truly powerful. ”
Reeves unconsciously suppressed the cynicism on his face and nodded heavily.
The familiar formula, the familiar taste, whenever the performance is good, there are praises all around, only the teacher pours some cold water from time to time to cool down.
Of course, Reeves himself is also sober enough, and the experience of some time ago has made him thoroughly understand the nature of the media wallgrass, and he will not let the praise that strikes again blind his eyes, he knows that his shortcomings have not been completely improved, but only temporarily covered up the shortcomings by promoting his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses.
Reeves believes that he is not the best version of himself and that he needs to train harder to become the best version of himself.
Bernard patted Reeves on the shoulder, he had already mentioned Reeves once last time, and in the subsequent training and games, Bernard also saw that Reeves was trying to change, which made him very happy, but he didn't want his proud disciple to slow down the pace of improving his weaknesses because of the sudden explosion in the last game, so he couldn't help but say more.
Fortunately, Reeves is not the kind of person who is unruly and complacent with a little achievement, and he is not angry when he hears his words, which makes Bernard even more satisfied with Reeves.
It would be nice if Reeves could stay in Lille forever. But the thought was shattered by Bernard's reason as soon as it arose.
The bigger the heart, the farther the steps.
Bernard knew this, which is why he gave up the opportunity to become a manager and opted for the role of youth coach, he could not stop the players from leaving Lille to move towards a further goal, but he could bring more outstanding young players to Lille, which is the foundation of a team.
Reeves is gone, and Hazard is gone, and Hazard is gone, and there is the next one.
Bernard is hopeful for the future of the team.
But for Reeves, Bernard has some regrets in his heart, this piece of the best jade he has encountered carries a lot of his ideas, Bernard has deliberately formulated a long-term training plan, and has been suppressing Reeves's performance through tactical arrangements, thinking that he can learn more things when he is young, and accumulate a lot of money.
But then Reeves went to Clay Fontaine, which interrupted Bernard's training plan, Reeves made a splash without tactical suppression, and embarked on a path of growth that Bernard did not want to see, and the disheartened Bernard resigned from his position and went to Brazil, the football kingdom, to absorb the nutrients of samba football, Bernard wanted to wait for Reeves to finish his studies at Clay Fontaine, and he returned to Lille to continue to rebuild Reeves.
As a result, it took too long in Brazil, and when Bernard returned, Reeves jumped several levels in a row because of his outstanding performance, and he went directly to the first team in the new season, and he also learned from the chairman that Reeves will leave the team next year.
This made Bernard very unwilling, so the following conversation was born.
"You have some time next summer, I'll steal something from Brazil and teach you all when the time comes."
"Is it Samba?"
"It's helpful to you, do you want to come?
"Go!" Reeves didn't hesitate to agree, he didn't know who the best academy coach was, but Bernard was undoubtedly the best academy coach Reeves ever knew, and it was what he taught himself that got him to where he is today.
Bernard, who received Reeves' affirmative answer, smiled heartily and turned away satisfied.
"Hurry up, little bunnies, the Lens people are still waiting for us to kick their ass."
The voice was much higher than before, and several young players who were stranded at the door to sign for the fans threw down their pens and hurriedly ran into the car.
---------------------------------------
The training atmosphere was good that day.
The aftermath of the win over Lyon also affected the mood of the Lille players.
In particular, a few substitutes at the back had the biggest smiles on their faces.
In addition to the above, there is also the fact that Reeves has converged a lot recently.
After Reeves entered the main lineup, the substitutes in the backline were often killed by Reeves in the team's group confrontation.
But since Reaves is in a goal drought, there has been a lot less action at the back.
This gave Lamy's backline substitutes a new lease of life and a lot of self-confidence.
Just like right now.
Reeves did not choose to pass or shoot in the face of Rami who rushed up, but chose to pass, a short pass through the ball, but unfortunately it was not the teammate of the main side who got the ball first, but the defender of the substitute side took the first step to control the ball.
Rami smiled silly and patted Reeves on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort.
Thanks to Rami for his kindness, Reeves shook his head in annoyance, still not enough tacit understanding, if it was Debich standing in that direction, it would be good if his friend would definitely run in advance, but unfortunately it was Keita, Keita, who didn't practice much, didn't expect him to pass the ball like that.
Puel smiled on the sidelines about the misplaced pass, which he wanted to see.
The tacit cooperation is cultivated in this mistake after mistake.
Puel is a firm believer in this. (To be continued.) )
