Chapter 8 Fame in France
Unlike the calm Reeves, the outside world has begun to brew a round of public opinion storm, today is the last round of the French Ligue 1 2005-2006 season, Lyon and Bordeaux have already determined the position of the champion and runner-up before the game, and the battle for the top scorer has long lost suspense. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 But Reeves' emergence has given a new hot spot to various media outlets.
There have been many new stars in Ligue 1 this year, with Franck Ribery, Gourcuff, Benzema, Nasri, Menes and Ben Arfa to name a few, but the brightest tonight is undoubtedly 16-year-old Napoleon Reeves.
On his professional debut, he scored a hat-trick after 20 minutes off the bench to help Lille win away at Rennes and snatch a ticket to next season's Champions League among many opponents. It also kicked Rennes out of the European zone ruthlessly.
A great goal to reach Longtan alone!
A goal that combines art and power!
A super long-range sling shot with a miraculous reversal!
Reeves, who was famous only in Lille before the game, became famous in France overnight.
The next morning, Reeves was on the pages of the major newspapers and truly famous in France!
The front page headline of the largest sports newspaper in France and the most influential in Europe is "The 2005-2006 Ligue 1 season is wonderful, and the 16-year-old is born": "At the end of this season's Ligue 1, Napoleon Reeves, a 16-year-old, 5-month-14-day-old teenager, gave us the best 20 minutes of the season, with three magnificent goals, and he was the last surprise of this season's Ligue 1." ”
Le Figaro, the largest comprehensive daily newspaper in France by circulation. In its sports edition, he writes about "The Amazing Napoleon! The success of the Clairefontaine system! "Following Benzema, Nasri, Menes and Ben Arfa, the Clairefontaine system has produced another 16-year-old genius Napoleon Reeves, and the Clairefontaine system has propped up the future of French football. Thanks to Fernand. Chast (former president of the French Football Federation, builder of the Clairefontaine system)! The founder of French football! "Its journalistic style of emphasizing social responsibility and social guidance is unmistakable.
France's second largest national daily newspaper, and at the same time France's largest comprehensive daily newspaper in overseas sales, "Le Monde", known for its rigorous reporting, reported yesterday's game with a column of data, "Record-breaking 16-year-old" Napoleon Reeves, a young player of 16 years, 5 months and 14 days, broke various records in the 38th round of Ligue 1, becoming the youngest player to appear in Ligue 1 this season, the youngest player to score a hat-trick, and the player to complete the longest distance goal. At the same time, he became the youngest player in Ligue 1 history to score a hat-trick. ”
The sports edition of Libération, the most photographed newspaper in France's national newspaper, illustrates the game in one image, with a child sucking a pacifier holding a net in his left hand, three soccer balls wrapped in the net, and a ticket to the Champions League in his right hand, while a young boy steps on an adult man in Rennes' jersey. The headline prominently reads, "The Great Victory of the Little Boy! 》。 "Liberation Daily" has always been known for highlighting the humor and fun of the headline, and the color and sensationality of the picture cartoons.
The French Evening Post, a tabloid newspaper that has become a history of great glory and is now a fun one, focuses on the lineage of Reeves: "The Conquest of Rennes by the Descendants of Napoleon!" "Napoleon Reeves, who has the blood of the great Napoleon and the blood of the mysterious Orient in his veins, completed the conquest yesterday at the Rue de Rennes-Lorient in just 21 minutes. ”
The European Times, a well-known French newspaper and one of the largest Chinese-language newspapers in Europe, reported on Reeves on a full-page in the sports world, focusing on his Chinese ancestry. "Napoleon Reeves, a Chinese-French half-breed with black hair, yellow skin and black eyes, played a great game, and let us wish him continued to grow in this land. ”
Rennes' local newspaper, La Vue Catholic, was full of sorrow: "Tragic Night! The European dream is shattered! "A 16-year-old, 5-month-14-day, goal-beaten-shirted man with three great goals to crush Rennes' efforts throughout the season and shatter our European dream. ”
Headquartered in the city of Lille, the largest newspaper in the department of Bécarlet in northern France and the most read newspaper "Voice of the North" makes no secret of its position, "Prince of Lille Promoted ****! The future of Lille is shining brightly on this night! "Despite the difficult race, we have Napoleon Reeves, the great triple hit of the Prince of Lille sent Lille to next season's Champions League, long live Napoleon! Long live Lille! ”
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to Lille, and after the summary meeting and the distribution of bonuses, the team was disbanded.
It was already past seven o'clock when I got home, and Reeves's home was on the outskirts of Lille, a historic castle that was given by his grandfather when his parents got married. As soon as he entered the door, a servant came to take the luggage, and as soon as Reeves leaned over to change his shoes, he was hugged by his mother and kissed him twice.
Since the rebirth, I have not been accustomed to the French veneer ceremony, and the French have to kiss each other every time they meet, and it is okay with women, but it always feels strange to veneer with men. Fortunately, there are very few veneers in Lille, and more in the south of France.
Although I am now accustomed to the veneer ceremony, sometimes I still feel too tossed, every time I go to my grandfather's house for Christmas, I have the most headache, my grandfather's family is a real nobleman, a descendant of Napoleon, the etiquette is very cumbersome, when meeting, more than 20 people line up in a line, a person is counted according to the left and right, 20 people are 40 times, like grandpa and grandma usually have to kiss four or five times, and when they leave, they also have to kiss a round, and now going to grandpa's house has become Reeves's heart disease.
But with his mother kissing each other, Reeves was very happy, after all, they have lived together for sixteen years, and their feelings are deep, so it doesn't hurt to kiss them a few more times.
Mom is wearing a sky blue dress today, a row of buttons from top to bottom, simple but not simple style, light color, lined with fair skin and beautiful face, noble and elegant. My mother is only 35 years old this year, a big beauty, and I don't know what kind of charm my father had back then, so I chased him after him.
Mom rubbed Reeves' hair and chuckled, "Son, in order to celebrate your outstanding performance, Mom will cook herself today." ”
After saying that, Reeves, who left a sluggish face, walked to the kitchen.
Sitting on the sofa sipping tea and leisurely reading the newspaper, the father threw a helpless look.
My mother's French food is actually quite delicious, but she is very slow to cook, and like most French people, she treats everything she does in life as enjoyment. The same is true for cooking, when she cooks, she listens to music in her ears, hums songs in her mouth, and dances under her feet, and she has the ability to cook a meal that should have been prepared in half an hour, and every time she starves Reeves half to death.
As soon as he changed his shoes, Reeves was thrown to the ground, a wet tongue on his face, and his face was licked all over saliva in an instant, Reeves could only beg for mercy, "Okay, little Adolf, be good, don't lick it." "Adolphus is a Bordeaux mastiff raised by Reeves and is 3 years old.
Reeves finally asked for little Adolph's entanglement, got up and watched his excited mother busy in the kitchen, he was really embarrassed to refuse, went up to take a shower, changed his clothes, and sat down next to his father, just looked up and froze, there was a handful of breadcrumbs on the beard at the corner of his father's mouth, this evil father is really immoral, knowing that today's mother is cooking, he will fill his stomach first.
Li Jianguo really couldn't pretend anymore, looked at Reeves with a vicious face, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "It's better to starve one person than two people, wow, besides, your father is old, not as good as your athlete's physique." After raising you for so many years, you can't be considerate and considerate of your father. "A look of pain.
REEVES HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO ANGER LITTLE ADOLF, WHO WAS ENJOYING HIS FAVORITE ROYALCANIN, AND PICKED UP HIS DOG FOOD AND PUT IT ON THE COFFEE TABLE IN FRONT OF HIM, "I DON'T HAVE TO EAT, AND YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT IT!" ”
Little Adolf, who had suffered from the unwarranted calamity, let out a cry of sorrow, sat cross-legged on his hind legs, his ears were pressed back, his tongue was open, his little tail was constantly shaking, and his big round eyes moved pitifully back and forth between the dog food and Reeves.
Reeves was defeated by little Adolf's poor appearance, and reluctantly put down the food bowl containing dog food, and little Adolphus hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the food bowl and slipped to the back of the sofa to put it away, and then turned around and rubbed Reeves's calf back and forth with his fat face.
Reeves gently rubbed little Adolf's head in his hands, but his eyes were fixed on his father Li Jianguo, and he said, "It's a little conscience." ”
"How is the holiday arranged? Going on vacation with us? Li Jianguo hurriedly changed the topic.
Reeves really can't do anything about this unscrupulous father, a guy who is a teacher in vain. Shaking his head, "Don't disturb your two-person world, I plan to go to Germany with Agren to watch the World Cup, and have fun by the way." Reeves grabbed a glass of water and said as he drank it.
"Agron loves to draw, so he should go back to Paris and go to university! You're not worried at all? Li Jianguo smiled evilly.
"I have faith in her, and I have faith in myself." The corners of Reeves' mouth hooked up a faint smile, "She has her own ideals, I can't be too selfish, and Paris is not far away." ”
"You can go to Paris and play football, so you have the best of both worlds."
"Just go to Paris, the water is too deep and there is no heart for victory. Lille's other positions are good except for the striker, and I can rush for the title next season. Besides, after all these years in Lille, there are always a few championships left. ”
Li Jianguo looked at Reeves with a confident face, and said with a smile: "You dare to say this kind of thing, I don't know how to be modest." ”
"Didn't Napoleon, the ancestor of the tag, also say that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. Of course, I wouldn't say that to anyone else. In front of his father, Reeves made no secret of his ambitions.
The two fathers and sons chatted for more than two hours, and the mother finally finished the meal. As soon as Reeves, who was hungry and dying, sat down, he swept away more than 20 dishes, and his mother Alice scolded with a smile: "What about the etiquette that you usually teach, that girl like you can see." ”
"As long as Agron likes me, I don't care about the others." Reeves, who was still chewing on foie gras in his mouth, replied vaguely.
After chatting with his parents and teasing little Adolf, Reeves went back to his bedroom upstairs.
I entered the door and lay directly on the bed, looking at the night sky outside the window, with a lot of thoughts in my head.
Lying in bed looking at the ceiling, my mind was wildly thinking.
After 16 years of rebirth, I finally embarked on the road of professional football, and the last game was a good start, but next season will be the real challenge, and I can't help but clench my fists when I think of this, let's go over the holidays quickly, I can't wait.
Thinking about it, I can't help but enter a dream, in which he returns to his parents in another world, and Kazumi. Crystal tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, through the cold moonlight, silently falling on the bed, unwillingly seeping into the sheets, and gradually disappearing.
