Chapter 49: Comeback (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
Reeves and Debige are the team's main players, while Cabaye and Foweguet are also the main substitutes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 InfoThe strength of the Lille team without the Reeves four was still somewhat damaged, and they lost to the home team by a small goal in Paris, reaping the first defeat since the start of the season.
Lille coach Puel was only slightly disappointed by the result, which he was mentally prepared for when he made the decision to ban the four, the season has just begun, as long as it is not a loss to a rival for the title, a loss may not be a bad thing.
More than this game, the media is more focused on the Reeves four.
At the post-match press conference, the media unsurprisingly asked about the four absentees,
"May I ask Mr. Puel, the four Reeves did not come with the team today, is it because of the turmoil in the nightclub that they were banned internally?" The first to ask questions was a reporter from Lens Sport, but this time it was not Butol, but another reporter, but again without good intentions.
Puel has already put this media on the blacklist in his heart, but this is an away game, and he has no ability to screen the media who ask questions, so Puel still answered this question, but his tone was very cold, "The four Reeves are just physically injured and can't meet the standards of the game, so they stay in Lille and have nothing to do with the nightclub." ”
"The Lille club has not responded to this matter since the nightclub turmoil, does that mean that you have no objection to Reeves' move to hang out in the nightclub with four people?"
"No, no, I think you confuse a concept, going to a nightclub is not the same as indulging in a nightclub, indulging in a nightclub I am naturally opposed, but I am not against going to relax once in a while, I also go to a nightclub myself."
Puel saw that the reporter from Lens still wanted to refute and continued.
"If you want to contradict me, find evidence of their addiction to nightclubs, and don't use a one-night exception to make a conclusion. And they left the club before twelve o'clock that night, and I couldn't find any reason to punish my teammates. In addition, I have a copy of the surveillance video outside the nightclub, which will be sent to your mailbox after the press conference. ”
With the exposure of the surveillance video, the nightclub incident that the media has been hyped for a few days has gradually subsided, after all, the four Reeves left early in the surveillance, and there is no follow-up evidence to prove that the four people are addicted to nightclubs, and it is not interesting to continue to speculate. The media did not mention this matter, and the public's attention gradually turned away.
---------------------------------
The next day, Reeves watched the video of Lille's defeat to Paris Saint-Germain at home, and Paris Saint-Germain at this time was not the former Ligue 1 hegemon, nor was it the great Paris of the future.
Paris Saint-Germain was pressed and kicked by Lille who was short of major generals throughout the game, but the Lille team was scoreless, and was scored the only goal of the game by a counterattack by Paris Saint-Germain, Kevin Milares, who replaced Reeves, squandered a lot of opportunities, and Reeves in front of the computer wanted to smash the keyboard, complaining in his heart: No single knife to enter, no empty goal, no wonder this guy will play winger in the future. (Kevin Milares was brilliant as a winger at Everton)
Reeves is a very responsible person, which is a good quality, and the negative effect is that he is used to taking responsibility, and he blames himself for the team's failures.
So Reeves, who watched the game, was in a bad mood, he thought that if he played, he would definitely be able to grasp a few of these opportunities, and he could not score a single knife, how could the empty goal be wasted, but the facts were decided, the team lost because of him.
But Reeves is not a person who feels sorry for himself, and he will not think about the nightclub turmoil at the moment and the coach's ban decision, because these are all in the past, Reeves is thinking at the moment that the next games must help the team recover the lost points, the league has just begun, and he needs to do better than before.
---------------------------------
With the defeat of the Lille team, the ranking fell to the fourth place in the league, ahead of Lyon, Marseille and Le Mans, but the gap is not big, Lille is only 1 point away from the top of the table, which is why Puel is not in a hurry.
However, the next game against the championship rivals Bordeaux had to pay attention to it, recalling the Reeves quartet for the weekend's game.
On August 27, Lille played Bordeaux at home at the Stade de Lille.
Bordeaux were runners-up in Ligue 1 last season, and although they are highly ranked, they are actually average in quality, and the main reason for finishing second in the league last season was a solid defense.
Bordeaux have been solid this season, with 2 wins and 1 defeat, losing to Ligue 1 giants Lyon.
Bordeaux's excellent start to the season was due to the fact that the attack has been strengthened, in addition to the fact that the defence has remained solid.
The change in Bordeaux this season is the arrival of Miku, that is, after Cisse's return to Ligue 1, Miku's arrival in Bordeaux is another exciting return event for overseas French big names in Ligue 1 this summer.
Miku, like Zidan and Vieira, are all made in Cannes. In 1996, after Bordeaux sold Zidan, they immediately bought Miku to replace him, and Miku lived up to expectations and led the team to win the Ligue 1 title in 1999. Miku left Bordeaux in 2000 to play for Parma and Bremen.
The arrival of France international Miku has led Bordeaux to change their midfield tactics, with the first three games all 4-2-3-1. At present, Bordeaux's midfield configuration is quite strong, and the double back of Mavuba + Fernando Menejazo plus the forward midfielder Miku form a balanced combination of attack and defense.
In the last game against Ligue 1 giants Lyon, Bordeaux played well and were not beaten by Juninho's free-kick until the 90th minute.
The change in Bordeaux is not known for good or bad for Lille, but for Reeves, it is good news, which means that it is an open game, and Reeves does not like to play against teams that defend and counterattack, so that he has many fewer chances, and the more open the game, the more opportunities he will naturally have.
---------------------------------
The game did favor Reeves.
Ten minutes after the whistle, Lille quickly built up their lead.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Reeves! "The commentary for this strong confrontation is still Dugarry," Reeves, who missed the last game, announced his return with a beautiful goal! It was his third league goal of the season. ”
Back in time, in the 8th minute of the game,
Bordeaux striker Luis Pereira knocked back in midfield and was tackled by Lille midfielder Bodmeier, who did not dribble the ball and immediately sent a through ball that penetrated the Bordeaux defence.
Reeves was ready for a steal from Bodmeier, staring at the position of the last defender, and the moment Bodmeier's ball was passed, Reeves suddenly kicked in, got rid of the defense, and rushed into the box.
Anti-offside success!
Single Knife!
The anti-offside position gave Reeves plenty of space and time, so there was no surprise in the result.
Reeves made a deflection in high speed and easily fooled Bordeaux goalkeeper Ulrich Lame into the empty net.
The defeat in the last game made the Lille fans miss Reeves a lot, and when Reeves successfully countered offside, the fans in the stadium were already standing up and ready to cheer, and they believed that the prince of Lille would not miss such an opportunity.
When Reeves pushed the ball into the empty net, the cheers finally came out of the fans' mouths.
"Lille! Banzai! ”
"Nice straight stopper! Nice anti-offside! That one-on-one chance Reeves won't be wasted as Lille take the lead at home. ”
'Maybe it was affected by the last game, the lack of concentration of the players on the field in Bordeaux, and Pereira's knock back was very casual. The most important thing is that Enrique, the last non-goalkeeper defender of Bordeaux, did not notice Reeves behind him, and he was obviously slow to react when he saw Bodmeier's pass, allowing Reeves to successfully counter offside. Dugarry has always dared to speak out, pointing to Bordeaux's mistakes.
"In the 10th minute of the game, the score was 1-0, and the goal was scored by --- Riches Weis!" The DJ on the stadium radio dragged out the sound for a long time.
The Stade de Lille also responded in unison:
"Reeves! Reeves! ”
Instead of rushing to the stands this time, Reeves stood on the sideline next to the goal, spread his arms, raised his head, closed his eyes and listened to the cheers.
Right! That's how it feels!
Thousands of people cheered! Heroes triumph!
He had only been away for a game and he had been nostalgic for this incomparable feeling.
"Reeves! Reeves! The cheers continued and were deafening.
Reeves, who is back in the Circle, is enjoying the feeling.
"Since the start of the new season, Reeves has scored in every game, and if this trend continues, it is entirely possible to compete for the league's Golden Boot, and if he succeeds, he will become the youngest Golden Boot in Ligue 1 history." Dugarry has now become a die-hard supporter of Reeves.
"This possibility is relatively small, there are many reasons for his consecutive goals, in addition to his outstanding ability, the main reason is that he is a newcomer, the French teams are not very familiar with him and do not pay enough attention to him, and after mastering his technical characteristics, he will not score so easily." The guest commentator was Marcel Desailly, a member of the '98 World Cup-winning French team, who was not optimistic that Reeves would be able to score consistently.
"Marcel, when do you think he'll stop scoring?" Dugarry asked with interest, of course he knew this, but that didn't prevent him from being optimistic about Reeves.
"Well, at least not this one." Although Desailly is not optimistic about Reeves's performance in the future, Bordeaux, who is disheartened, obviously blocks Reeves, who is in good form.
Sure enough, in the 22nd minute, Reeves scored again, receiving a pass from Debichne on the line of the small penalty area, Reeves shook off the defender and fired into the far corner of the net.
2-0 Lille doubled the score.
