Chapter 101: The Verge
The next morning, Anne came out of the hotel early, and the streets were quiet in the morning light, and the sound of Anne's car became the main theme everywhere she went.
Annie's sports car that was kicked by Reeves is still being repaired by the manufacturer, and now she is driving a car borrowed from her grandfather's garage, a Renault sedan much older than Annie, Dauphine (Crown Princess), is Renault's first model with world influence, and it is very well maintained.
Anne liked this car very much, and among the dozen or so cars in her grandfather's garage, Anne immediately took a fancy to this car that was not expensive or rare as a means of transportation in Lille. The reason for choosing this car is simple, because it reminds Anne of her deceased mother, equally elegant and beautiful.
The car was not going fast, about forty yards, and the morning breeze was blowing on Anne's cheeks from the window.
Very comfortable feeling.
This is by no means the same Anne as before, regardless of the speed or state of mind.
In the past, Anne would definitely double the speed of the car or higher, and enjoy the feeling of the wind whistling by.
Perhaps it was the magic of the place where the mother grew up that slowly changed her, the lost lamb.
Anne has found herself changing a lot lately, no longer liking the noise of music, no longer liking the roaring sound of the engine. I like it now, driving slowly, driving slowly on the empty streets, listening to the chirping of birds on the side of the road, peaceful and quiet.
Of course, if only I couldn't meet that person.
Just as she was thinking, through the car window, Anne saw the figure, running and stopping, doing exercises alone on the street beside the road.
None other than Reeves.
The routes and times of the two overlapped somewhat, and Anne could always meet Reeves on the road for a morning jog.
At this time, Anne always stepped on the accelerator suddenly, quickly caught up with Reeves on the side of the road, and quickly left him behind, until Reeves was no longer in the rearview mirror, Anne would release the accelerator.
Today, Anne didn't do that, but slowly stopped the car in front of Reeves, poked her head out and said, "Good morning!" ”
Reeves heard the sound and saw that it was someone he knew, so he responded with a smile: "Good morning! ”
The two were not familiar with each other, and neither was a talkative person, so after a brief chat, there was no topic, and Anne hurriedly said goodbye and left. This time I stopped to say hello to Reeves, I just wanted to see how Reeves was hit, according to her thoughts, the recent goal drought and media opinion should make Reeves feel bad, but Anne did not find the negative emotions she wanted to see on Reeves's face.
This made Anne a little depressed, but thinking about the evening game, Anne's mood calmed down again, Lyon's dominance in Ligue 1 is amazing, Anne does not believe that Reeves' current form can break the goal drought.
It's a pity that there is something in the evening and I can't go to the scene to watch the game, Anne shook her head with some regret, she has recently been transferred from the original department to other departments, and she has a lot of things to do, so she can only watch the news of the game from the media.

Butol is famous!
Now all French fans know that Lens Sport's Butol is going to make a bet with Reeves.
The bet is on whether or not they can score in the Lille vs Lyon match.
The bet was that Reeves lost and practiced shooting on the pitch until dawn tonight, and Butol ran back to Lens if he lost.
This off-court news appeared in a prominent position in major media early the next morning, as a warm-up for this multiple-eyed matchup. Most of the media reported on this bet with a playful tone, after all, whoever wins or loses is a good result.
But there is one media outlet that doesn't like the news, and that's the Lyon Herald, and they naturally can't see Reeves' confident look, when the strong Lyon team has become the target of young players to score goals. Even the alien Ronaldo can't be asked for in the game against Lyon, let alone a fledgling youngster.
The newspaper of the Lyon Herald on the day of the race launched a bombardment of Reeves.
"Arrogant Reeves! To get out of the predicament, it is not by mouth, but by playing football with your feet on the ground! Instead of talking about it there, it would be better to make the bet early, practice the shots and maybe hopefully shoot the ball in the woodwork in tonight's game. ”
Lyon fans are also outraged, they see this as a provocation by Reeves to the team, and have condemned Reeves for being blind and arrogant, if this game is at Lyon's home stadium, then Reeves will be booed tonight at the level of full harmony.
No one from Lyon's players came out to speak this time, but according to the grapevine, the Lyon players were going to give Reeves a look at the night's game to make him realize the mistakes he had made in ignorance.
Reeves didn't know these follow-up reactions, and even if he did, he wouldn't care, and now all his mind was on preparing for the evening's game, and after the morning workout, Reeves met his teammates at the hotel gate and took the bus to the stadium to prepare for the evening's game.
--------------------------------------
In previous years, this game will not receive much attention, although Lille is one of the few teams in Ligue 1 that is not afraid of Lyon, the two sides have fought nearly 21 times, Lille 10 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses, but in previous years, Lille is out of the middle of the standings, and Lyon is at the top of the table, the victory or defeat of the duel between the two sides will not have much impact on the course of the league, and naturally there are a lot less highlights.
This year is different, Lille has started strongly, beating Bordeaux, Rennes and other strong teams in a row, although the recent form has dropped, but the points are still close to the Lyon team. The outcome of this game may have an impact on the subsequent trend of the league, so it has naturally become the most focused event in this round.
Lyon's supporters will be hoping that the team can close the gap between them and their pursuers with a win so that they can put more experience into the Champions League, after all, they have won enough Ligue 1 titles, and it is time to hope for the Champions League title.
Lille supporters are hoping that a win can change the recent league slump and use it to bite Lyon in the table and not fall out early.
Onlookers are hoping for a lose-lose battle between the two, with a draw at best, and an injury or suspension of key players. In this way, they can take advantage of the profits, there is only one champion, there are only a few European qualifications, and the bad news of the competitors is their own good news.
With all the attention, many parties paid attention to it but each had their own thoughts, and the game was about to break out in the smoke of gunpowder.
