After the whistle, Reeves rushed onto the field to celebrate with his teammates on the field. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Champions League, first wins, big wins, victories over rivals, these are all reasons for the Lille team to celebrate.
The young people did not know how to refrain from celebrating, and it was not until the staff urged them that the whole Lille team waved goodbye to the fans in the stands and came to the mixed interview area for interviews.
In the Champions League, there is a mixed interview area on the way to the dressing room after the game, where broadcast and television journalists, as well as text and photojournalists, can interview the players they are interested in, which is not comparable to the post-match press conference, which the players rarely attend.
Journalists prefer mixed time to press conferences, where they can get a lot of news that they don't get at press conferences, and the players are always easier to deal with than the cunning coaches. However, not every match will have a mixed interview area, and only some major events will be scheduled.
The guardrails are separated by each other, one side is the media, the other side is the players, the players walk in turn, the media will pull the interested players for interviews, according to the coffee position, on-field performance and topic to determine the number of media questions, but whether the players accept the interview is all voluntary, in most cases, the players are still willing to be interviewed, and the exposure rate has an extraordinary attraction for most players.
Today's media area is very lively, although it is not a matchup between the giants, but after all, it is the Champions League, in addition to the reporters from the two countries, there are many large European media, and the small mixed interview area seems crowded.
As the winners, the long-overdue Lille players were the subject of media interviews.
However, to the surprise of the media reporters, the players of the Lille team refused the interview request today, and hurriedly swept through the interview area and went straight to the dressing room.
Confused media reporters were about to file a complaint with the tournament press officer when they saw Reeves and Cabaye walking shoulder to shoulder.
The reporters shouted to the two of them with the idea of giving it a try, and the two did not walk away as the previous Lille team members, but stopped.
So the long guns and short guns were handed over, and the reporters who were huddled together couldn't wait to throw out their own questions.
"Reeves, congratulations, how does it feel that you set the record for the youngest goal in the Champions League?"
"Reeves, two goals on his Champions League debut, it must feel good, is there anything you want to say?"
'In the second half you were in the wing-back position. Does it mean that there are plans to develop to the side in the future? ”
"What is the meaning of your celebration after your goal, are you a Buddhist?"
"What is the special meaning of the pattern on the T-shirt on your jersey?"
All sorts of questions were thrown at Reeves, and reporters tried to find news points out of Reeves' mouth.
Different voices were mixed together, and Reeves couldn't hear each other's questions clearly, but Reeves didn't intend to answer, pulling Cabaye, who was also surrounded by the media.
"Guys, my teammates didn't have a throat in their throats today, and the same is true for Reeves, who appointed me as the team's press spokesperson to make a statement of appreciation."
Reeves gestured to his throat in cooperation.
The reporters didn't believe Cabaye's words at all, they saw the Lille players talking during the game, how could they feel uncomfortable in their throats after the game, just kicking the ball, not singing and shouting, how could they hurt their throats.
However, the reporters waited for Cabaye to continue talking, and there must be a purpose for this play, and he will know when he finishes speaking.
As if by magic, Cabaye pulled out a piece of paper from behind him and read it word by word.
"Thank you to the team Antlecht for their hospitality and for going the extra mile to motivate us to go above and beyond. The power outage in the middle of the night was to get us used to the weather in Brussels; The dilapidated training ground is provided to make us remember the bittersweet memories and cherish the opportunity to play on this field; Finally, in order to remind us not to underestimate the enemy, we also put oil paintings of the Battle of Waterloo in our dressing room. Thanks to them, because of them, we played normally and won this game. Although they lost the game, they won our friendship, and their broad-mindedness made us understand: victory and defeat come first, and process first. ”
"What a great spirit this is, in order to pursue the pinnacle of the showdown, at the expense of their own reputation to encourage us as opponents, they have taught us that only by letting the opponent play to their full strength, winning or losing is honor, winning or losing is no longer important. The Antlechts have shown us what the Olympic spirit is, what is selflessness, they are noble people, they are pure people, they are people who are detached from low tastes, and football is noble because of their existence. ”
The media burst into laughter, where is this thank-you letter, it is clearly a text, the opposite is true, and it is very slippery.
Everyone has heard of the Belgians' off-field actions, this kind of behavior is not uncommon in football, most teams are well aware of it, will not put it on the table to say, at most the manager came out to complain, few players came forward to protest, but the young Lille players are obviously unwilling to let the matter go.
It's good to be young, I can't hold back my grievances, and all I release is news.
The Belgian reporters dispersed after interviewing the home team, and the reporters present were all reporters from other countries, so naturally they would not let go of this news point.
The media have even figured out what to report tomorrow: Antlecht was slapped in the face. Painstaking efforts to set up obstacles off the pitch did not work, but instead provoked Lille's fighting spirit, and the home team was slaughtered on the pitch.
The content of the thank-you statement was written by Reeves, but after listening to Cabaye's recitation, Reeves felt that he had missed a sentence, took out a pen and wrote another paragraph on a piece of paper, and handed it to Cabaye.
Cabaya looked at the contents, hesitated, and turned to look at Reeves, who knew his concerns and nodded, giving him a reassuring look.
"In addition, we have bad news that at half-time we found that someone entered our dressing room during the game and stole the oil paintings on the walls, and we strongly condemn this action, but in order to thank the hosts for their hospitality, we are willing to make compensation, and we ask that the invoice for the purchase of the oil paintings be sent to Lille after the game." As soon as Reeves finished speaking, he pulled the unsatisfied Cabaye and ran to the locker room.
"The oil painting is not valuable, what do you want, it's just a mass-produced cheap handicraft."
"Who said I wanted it, at the end of the intermission, I hung the oil painting in the dressing room opposite, so that they could also feel the atmosphere of the Slipperu, good things need to be shared."
"You kid is so bold, what if you are caught by the surveillance?"
"Don't worry, I've already scouted the terrain, there is no surveillance at the door, the doors of the two locker rooms are in a corridor, and there are cameras at the exit at the end of the corridor."
"What if they lions open their mouths wide? They're not kind-hearted people. ”
"I just asked them to send the invoice to Lille, and I didn't say that I would lose the cash to them, and I would send them an identical painting when the time came, anyway, I had already taken a picture of this painting, and it was easy to find the same for mass production."
"Worthy of the cunning Reeves."
"Hey, hey, each other."
The two laughed and came to the corridor outside the locker room door, and when they passed by the home team's dressing room, the door was ajar, and the Reeves heard the sound of smashing things inside, so they looked in curiously through the crack in the door and saw the opposing head coach smashing the ground with a picture frame.
The two looked at each other and smiled, stretched out their hands to high-five each other, and took revenge overnight, this is what they wanted.
After watching the play, Reeves turned around and pushed Cabaye into the locker room of his own team opposite, although the room was still so simple, but Reeves's mood was no longer the same, after the victory, there was only joy in his heart, and he would not care about the humble environment.
Today, all the players of the team have made an appointment in advance, and they will not be interviewed after the game, and they will be handed over to Cabaye to perform.
So as soon as Reeves and Cabaye returned to the locker room, the players rushed up to inquire about the situation.
Cabaye's vivid description of the interview and what happened in the dressing room across from him provoked bursts of laughter.
"Thank you brothers for your success, and I will have a big meal to thank you when I go back." Today's relieved and showy Cabaye made a promise.
The Belgian delicacy is beer in addition to fries, which the French have always despised for enjoying life, and Cabaye is no different.
