Chapter 47: The Center of the Storm
The day after Butol returned to Lens, the Lens Sport newspaper published a photo of Reeves and the four of them visiting a nightclub. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Physically and mentally wounded, Butol dragged his tired body and spent an all-night concoction to concoct a manuscript that was praised by the editor-in-chief, and was praised as the best of all his manuscripts, and Butol got the first headline page in his life.
"Prince of Lille? The prince of the nightclub! Shooters on the field, gunners off the field! ”
In the article, the other three people were brushed off, and the spearhead was pointed at Reeves, who thought that Reeves was proud and complacent, lazy and casual, had an absurd life, sang every night, and had no women, and that Reeves was not worthy of being a professional player, which was a negative teaching material for young players.
In the article, he also pretended to persuade Reeves to cherish his talents, self-discipline and self-love, change his evil ways as soon as possible, and be a new person.
The report caused an uproar, and Reeves's outstanding performance at this time attracted the public's attention, and this negative report pushed Reeves to the forefront of public opinion.
Minors under the age of 16 are not allowed in French nightclubs, and the legal drinking age is also 16 (18 for spirits), so legally, Reeves has no problem going to nightclubs.
But Reeves is a young player who is in the eyes of the public at the stage of training hard, and this kind of self-degrading behavior before achieving results has naturally attracted a lot of criticism.
In addition, Reeves is now in the limelight, and the gun is the first bird, some people naturally do not let go of this opportunity to brush up their sense of existence, and they have come out to blame it, so this matter is a bit big.
For example, Rennes' local TV evening sports program interviewed several so-called football celebrities (Rennes' retired players), and the celebrities expressed their opinions on the matter, and all of them agreed that Reeves was a cancer for the Lille team, and that Lille would be dragged down if they did not fire Reeves.
-----------------------------
Reeves got the news early in the morning, and as he was running past the newsstand, Uncle Baptiste of the newsstand took the Lens Sports newspaper and asked Reeves about his nightclub visits.
Uncle Batista, who is a long-time Lille fan, was very distressed by this kind of behavior, and Reeves finally explained it clearly.
After taking the newspaper and reading the contents clearly, Reeves was annoyed, he had been to the nightclub, but he had never touched the woman, and the hand on his chest in this photo was obviously Cabaye's.
Uh~ Well, honest Reeves admitted in his heart that he had touched the same part that night, but it was in a nightclub, and the object was still a stranger, and it was unintentional.
Wait, even Uncle Battista will be misunderstood, and others will definitely be, Reeves thought of this, and quickly took out his mobile phone, and the first call was to Agron.
It's not yet 7 o'clock, and Agron was still in a daze when the phone rang, and when he heard Reeves's urgent voice, he suddenly came to his senses, thinking that something important had happened, and he was relieved when Reeves finished speaking, it turned out to be this incident.
"Honey, didn't you tell me about going to a nightclub the other day? As for those photos, I believe my man is not a casual person. ”
Agron trusts Reeves very much, and after they have been together for so long, Reeves can control himself, although there are occasional intimacy, but he has never taken the last step. Besides, she knew that Reeves had a very high vision, how could he look down on those dust girls.
Reeves let out a long breath, and he was in a daze, and it was true that he had inadvertently mentioned going to the nightclub after that day. But now that they've talked, Reeves won't miss the opportunity to chat with Agron. The two talked for a while before ending the call.
Reeves's second call was to his parents, who explained to them again, but fortunately, Reeves's credit has always been good, and his parents quickly accepted his statement.
The third call was to the head coach, and Puel only listened to what happened, and hung up before listening to Reeves' explanation, which made Reeves very worried.
That's what I'm most worried about.
While it's common for players to go clubbing in France, it's a different story to get caught by the media.
Going to a nightclub varies from person to person, and the star goes to the nightclub to get a lace news at most, and there is always some privilege to become famous; But it's different for young players to go to nightclubs, and the media has no scruples about them, and they directly label themselves as degenerate.
Clubbing also varies from time to time, and if you go to a clubhouse in the offseason, it is estimated that this kind of news will not be of interest to the media, but if you indulge in nightclub life at the beginning of the league, the professionalism of this player will be questioned.
Although going to nightclubs is a player's private life and does not break the law, the media is at most a moral accusation, but in fact, there is no need to care.
But the impact of this is not to be underestimated. Off-the-field life and professional quality are all factors for giants scouts to consider young players, unless it is a superstar like Ronaldo, then the giants will have concerns about these factors when they bring in young players.
Of course, these are relatively far away, and now Reeves has not yet entered the eyes of the giants, and he is still fighting for the main position, and he is most worried about the handling of this matter by the head coach Puel.
Puel is strict in governing the army and pays attention to the management of discipline on and off the field, and Odem Wenji was decisively removed from the position of the main striker some time ago because of his poor training attitude. Reeves feared it would be bad if he was relegated to the bench as a result.
Puel's attitude on the matter could not be heard on the phone, so Reeves walked into the training base with trepidation.
Cabaye, who hadn't gotten the news yet, and the other three were still very interested in pulling Reeves to chat and play.
Naturally, Reeves didn't leave himself scared alone. So he took out the newspaper with the pictures of the four people.
"Wronged! Halfway through that night, he was separated from the woman. Kabaye howled with an exaggerated expression.
"I've just wronged you, this hand has so much hair, it's John's yours." Reeves said to Cabaye, who had a flamboyant acting skills, pointing to the photo with only hands and breasts. Hmph, and said that they were separated, and the next day I listened to him and Debich discuss the woman's bed skills.
"Hehe, you're favored by the boss, so you can help with it." Cabaye pleaded, and Debich and Forweguet echoed in unison.
It's no secret that everyone in the team knows that Puel values Reeves a lot.
Reeves nodded helplessly, who let the newspaper point the finger at him.
But the manager's side is not easy to deal with.
Sure enough, since the beginning of training, Puel has been gloomy.
The four of Reeves were panicking and buried their heads in training, but the others were very excited, they all saw the newspaper that Reeves brought, and the guys kept asking the four Reeves about the environment of the nightclub, and the regular customers of Bastos also joked about the quality of the girls that night.
How could the four of Reeves, who were guilty, have the heart to pay attention to the others, and the afterglow has been on the face of Puel on the sidelines.
The most painful thing in this world is the wait before accepting the verdict, and sure enough, the feeling of waiting for the verdict is terrible, and it also affects the state, Reeves made mistakes in several stops. was yelled at by Puel from afar before he returned to normal.
Training went on and on, Reeves waited a long time, but the manager was very patient and never looked for them.
But Reeves looked at Puel's face that did not improve in the slightest, and knew that he would not be able to escape today.
By the time the training was over, the four Reeves were really stayed.
Cabaye and they are still holding on to luck, after all, the newspaper is pointing the finger at Reeves, maybe Puel is only looking for Reeves to make trouble.
As a result, Puel first found Cabaye and Debichi,
"Say, did you take the lead?"
Cabaye and De Bigch were reluctant to answer, strictly counting the instigation of them, admitting that they must have suffered, but the brotherhood could not really pull Reeves and Foveg to the top of the cylinder.
"I offered to celebrate, but we went back at 11 o'clock, and the surveillance video can testify." Reeves took it and felt that the explanation was clear, but the problem was not serious.
In order to protect privacy, there is no monitoring inside the nightclub, but there is monitoring outside the store, and you can know it by checking the monitoring.
Puel nodded, not too much, but there was one thing to confirm, "To be honest, did you give money that night?" ”
"Nope!" The four responded in unison, they weren't fools either, they all guessed what Puel meant, not referring to the consumption of alcohol, but to the woman who took it away.
Puel breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, that's good, if you don't give money, it's a one-night stand at most, and the nature of giving money has changed.
When he received a call from Reeves in the morning, Puel was very angry, and he hung up the phone angrily when he heard Reeves talk about visiting a nightclub, but then he thought that Reeves should not be the kind of person who is not self-disciplined, and he wanted to call to ask about the situation but couldn't put it down, so he could only delay it until now.
But they did go to a nightclub, and they couldn't let these guys end the matter easily. Thinking of this, Puel put on a face and said in a deep voice:
"You four are so daring! I've learned how to go to nightclubs. ”
The four of Reeves resignedly, "We know we are wrong. ”
"Humph!" Puel felt a little pity, now that the team is in good shape, this incident has happened, if it is not dealt with, I am afraid that it will cause a bad atmosphere, after all, it is not recommended to go to nightclubs.
"Be mentally prepared that you don't have to go to Paris for the next game, just stay in Lille! Say you're hurt. As for what hurts, you decide for yelves. 'Puel decided to ban them for one match.
There are several considerations for this decision, the first point is that although Puel has determined that these four people don't go to the nightclub much, they still need to be guarded against, which can be regarded as a warning.
The second point is that this punishment is also for the rest of the team, and the new Brazilians have a tendency to indulge in nightclubs, which can be regarded as an example of killing chickens and monkeys.
The third point is that Reeves has been in the limelight too much recently, and this matter is obviously targeted by someone and needs to be cold. The league has only just begun, and Puel is not worried about the loss of four players affecting the results.
Seeing that Puel's tone was very resolute, the four of Reeves could only agree.
Walking home, Reeves was angry, damn Lens, a bunch of guys who couldn't afford to lose.
Reeves has already blacklisted the "Lens Sports Newspaper" in his heart, and even hated the Lens team.
In fact, Reeves doesn't take this kind of news to heart, as long as the people close to him and the coach explain it. And except for some defenders, ordinary people just regard it as lace news, not to mention that in the era of this kind of information explosion, as long as there is no follow-up news, this kind of news will slowly fade away.
The main reason for the anger was that the news caused the suspension of Reeves, who had planned to take advantage of the opportunity to play away to see Agren in Paris, but now it is all in vain. That's what makes Reeves angry.
Reeves has already planned, the next time he goes to Lens, he will use the goal on the field to tell those guys that small actions off the field will not be on the table, and things on the court will have to be solved on the court after all.
