Chapter 160: Lore

Located in a small town of less than 40,000 people, 160 kilometres southeast of Paris, AJ Auxerre is a small club, but a team to be reckoned with in French football, having never been relegated from Ligue 1 since 1980 and winning many trophies, an achievement that is not easy for a small club with little financial resources, and all thanks to a legendary coach. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

AJ AJ was founded in 1905 by a monastery priest. Playing in the regional leagues in the early years, the team's fortunes changed in 1963 when 22-year-old Guy Roux took over the team, taking Auxerre from a regional team to the top flight in 19 years, leading them to the French Cup in 1993, 1996, 2003 and 2005, as well as the league title in 1996. AJERRE also reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League in 1997 and the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup in 1993. Guy Roux has also produced a number of French internationals, including Eric Cantona, Blank, Diomede, Poli, Cisse, Capo, Mex, Boumesson and many others.

But now Reeves doesn't see the legendary coach in the dugout.

In June 2005, at the age of 66, Guy Roux announced the end of his 44-year football career, setting the record for the longest tenure in a top European league.

After the retirement of Godfather Guirou, the successor Santini broke up with the top management after only one season, obviously Santini could not inherit the mantle of Guy Ruoux, and invited the old coach Fernandez this summer, indicating that Auxerre is determined to continue to follow the "Ajax-like route" advocated by Guy Ruu, and the club's Fernandes, who is good at developing young players, has continued the Aude youth tradition.

But insisting on youth training will always pay pains, after several strong veterans will be purged, young people can not take the lead alone, the new season team record is poor, so far, Auxerre ranked 17th in Ligue 1, only 3 points ahead of the bottom of the Sedang. The two core players of the team, Karlenberg and Cherroux Jr., have played poorly and are likely to be relegated to the second division with the team at the end of the season.

Faced with such an opponent, the French media generally believed that Lille could win easily.

But the course of the game was a surprise, as Auxerre seemed to be back to sixth in the league last season, with the score still 0-0 after 90 minutes.

'Guy Roux is so powerful that just sitting in the stands has brought his old team back to their best form, and Fernandes should consider leaving a place in the dugout for the godfather of Auxerre, so Ousterre doesn't have to worry about relegation.

In this game, Guyiru appeared in the stands, the fat old man was still wearing a simple sweatshirt, wearing a blue hat with a worn brim, and the deterioration of his physical condition made him leave the head coach position he loved all his life, but he could not let him give up the team that had paid half his life, and in the case of the team's recent poor condition, all he could do was to come to the stands of the stadium to cheer for the team.

'But the score was disastrous for Lille, who had a 2-0 lead over Monaco in the other game of the round, who were two points clear of Lille, but had more goal difference than Lille, and a draw for Lille meant giving up the top spot, with only three minutes of stoppage time left, and Lille needed to take advantage of that last opportunity.

"If Lille go into the winter break with the label of losing the half-way title, there is a high risk of demoralization, because in the history of Ligue 1, the half-way winner has a nearly 70% chance of winning the final title, while the team that loses the half-way title in the final round has only a 2% chance of winning the title."

'Reeves didn't play badly in this game, but his luck seemed to run out in the last game and he was battling the post and crossbar all time.

"Reeves is not the only one who has bad luck, the luck of the Lille team is also bad, the two went off with a bizarre injury without confrontation, and one was sent off for a controversial decision, which caused Puel to use up three substitutions early and unable to make effective tactical adjustments, Reeves, who was replaced after 70 minutes in the past, is still on the field at the moment, and Lille's top scorer has no stamina."

As the narrator says, Reeves has no physical strength, but he still hasn't given up running, although every step is difficult.

As the minutes ticked by, less than a minute of stoppage time remained, and the score was still 0-0.

All agreed that a draw was the final result.

There were already Auxerre fans in the stands who got up to greet Godfather Guirou, who feared that they would not have a chance when the game was over.

In the 92nd minute and 20 seconds, Lille had a chance to take a corner.

Reeves gasped and stood at the back of the goal, struggling to get a position with the opposing defenders.

The game isn't over yet, he's going to fight until the last minute.

Bastos' corner kick caused chaos in the AJERRE box,

Cabaye receives the ball from outside the box and shoots directly at goal,

Auxerre goalkeeper blocked,

Defenders clear,

Clearing the siege is blocked!

Fowegay shoots!

The Auxerre defender blocked the shot with his chest,

The ball falls to another defender, Cabourg, who prepares to clear!

Reeves rushed forward without hesitation.

Goal!!!!!!

In the scuffle, Reeves blocked the strong clearance of the opposing defender Kabul with his chest, and the rebounding football was lucky to roll into the goal.

"Lore! In the final moments of the game, Reeves scored, the most crucial goal of the round, and Lille once again squeezed Lyon back to the top of the live standings! Reeves saved Lille's championship hopes. ”

"Reeves is really desperate to jump up and block so close, and if the ball hits his head or left chest, it would be life-threatening. But I just like his style. ”

"He's a true warrior and this golden goal is the best reward for him."

Reeves was in pain and happy, his chest aching because he had too much strength to break the siege. But in his chest was the excitement of a lore match.

He saw that the opponent was ready to clear, and he blocked it without hesitation, he didn't expect to score at all, he just wanted to leave the ball in the penalty area so that the referee would not blow the whistle for the end of the game.

But unexpectedly, the opponent kicked the ball on his right chest, and he leaned over and couldn't move in pain.

However, the pain paid off handsomely, as the ball bounced straight into the goal, and the unprepared Auxerre goalkeeper simply had no time to react.

AYERRE 0:1 Lille!

Lille is back at the top! (To be continued.) )
