Chapter 6: Enjoy the Joy of Victory

AnsΓ¨re, 62 years old, the same age as the club Lille, is the vice-president of the Lille-Nice business school and the head of the largest local fan organization, the "Host Lille", which is not only the industrial center of northern France, but also the cultural center of northern France, with numerous universities. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoLille city centre has 210,000 inhabitants but 100,000 university students. So most of the Lille fans are young college students. To become the leader of the "Lord Youlle" fan organization, with an average age of only 20 years, Anse Air is not due to his status as the deputy dean of the Lille-Nice Business School, the best business school in France, but because he is the same age as the Lille team and has been cheering for the Lille team all his life.

Since the age of 3, Anse Air has been an avid fan of Lille, witnessing the prosperous era of Lille in the forties and fifties, experiencing the dark era of struggling between the first and second divisions for half a century, and the hope of steady progress after entering the new century, the results of the past two seasons have made him vaguely see the shadow of the glory of the forties and fifties of the last century, but he always feels that something is missing, and today I see Reeves's desire to score goals and the pursuit of victory on the field. Ansel found that this desire and pursuit was the indomitable spirit of Lille's team in the forties and fifties of the last century, which he had been waiting for.

Anse Air is no stranger to Reeves, who often goes to watch the reserve team and echelon games at all levels, and has long been deeply attracted by this talented teenager who broke the club's various echelon goal records. I just didn't expect that in such an important competition, there would be such a great performance on the debut. Give him a few more years, how far will he grow? Henry? Cantona? Papan? Fontaine?

Maybe it won't be long before you can touch the championship trophy that you haven't won for more than 50 years. After half a century of watching, he finally saw some hope, and Ansel's heart was excited.

For the long 50 years, the southern giants have oppressed the northern teams with their abundant funds, and the northern teams have not been able to recruit stars at all, so they can only tap their potential internally, although it is a blessing in disguise, creating four of the best youth training bases in the north of France and even in the world, Caen training camp, Lille training camp, Auxerre youth camp and Nantes youth camp. The fresh blood cultivated in these youth camps has formed the framework and backbone of the team in the north of France, but whenever they make some achievements, the stars of the house are poached by the southern giants with a lot of francs. Reeves, on the other hand, has been hailed as the hope of Lille's revival since he was a child, and his outstanding performances have led him to be seduced by the major clubs in the south every year with various conditions, but he always refuses: "Lille has not been revived for a day, and I will not leave Lille for a day." "The deep affection for Lille and the fact that he was born into a wealthy family meant that Anse El was not at all worried that Reeves would leave Lille to play.

The tears had broken free from the shackles of their eyes, slid down their cheeks and fell into the corners of their mouths, but they were no longer the bitter taste. With tears in his eyes, Ansel took the lead in singing the song "Lille the Indomitable", which had been sung countless times

"Even if there is no champion,"

"Lille is still Lille."

"Old Namur's wine is still mellow,"

"The waters of the Samber River are still clear."

"Even if we have more championships,"

"Nor are you a slave to money."

"Even if there is no champion,"

"We are still proud of Lille!"

"Lille who never bows his head!"

"Lille! Lille! ”

…………

"If one day,"

"I'm gone,"

"Then please let me,"

"Stop and cheer for Lille,"

"You'll fly high with peace of mind."

…………

"Sing for Lille:"

"May Allah bless Lille"

"Forever proud!"

Although there were only more than a thousand people, the singing overwhelmed the Rennes-Lorient Road Stadium.

In the melodious singing, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"Congratulations to the Lille team, who won 3-2 away to Rennes thanks to Reeves' hat-trick to finish third in the league this season and qualify for next season's Champions Cup. Congratulations to Napoleon Reeves, it was a dream night for him. ”

The camera at the scene was focused on Reeves, the young man in the camera, with a green smile on his sweaty cheeks and a flash of victory in his black eyes.

As soon as the whistle blew, the Lille players hugged each other affectionately, and the lost Rennes players bowed their heads and prepared to leave the field, Reeves ran directly to the sidelines and asked the referee for the ball of the game, ready to take it back and treasure it.

Just about to run back to celebrate with his teammates, he suddenly heard someone call his name, turned around, and saw Gourcuff coming over, Wren core said with a smile: "You are very good, congratulations." ”

Reeves asked with a look of surprise: "I hurt you so much that you can't play the European war, don't you hate me?" ”

Gurkuv looked indifferent: "Why hate, we didn't seize the opportunity ourselves, and we can't blame others." ”

After speaking, he pointed to his jersey and then tapped his own.

Reeves also admired Gourcuff's ability, and of course was willing to exchange jerseys, so he happily took off his jersey, handed it over, and took Gourcuff's jersey as well.

"See you next season in Ligue 1!"

"Hehe, I'm going to transfer to AC Milan this summer, I'm afraid I'll have to meet in the Champions Cup!"

"See you next season!"

Gourcuff smiled and waved his hand, turned and walked into the players' tunnel, his back so determined.

Reeves knew that Gourcuff would not be successful at AC Milan in the future, but it was unlikely that Gourcuff would have listened to his advice at this time. Everyone has their own way, and no one else can interfere. Besides, for Gourcuff, a few setbacks are not necessarily a bad thing.

Reeves shook his head, he still cares about himself, he has to continue to work hard this summer and strive to play the main team next season. So he didn't bother anymore and ran straight to the dugout and hugged head coach Poole tightly to thank him for his trust.

Seeing his teammates running to the edge of the stands to celebrate the victory with the fans, Reeves wanted to join in, but as soon as he turned around, he was surrounded by a crowd of media pouring into the stadium.

A group of reporters asked all kinds of questions in fast-paced French, and Reeves couldn't help but be in a trance, he knew that he had become famous overnight, and his thoughts drifted away, as if he had gone back to his previous life, when he chose the former between the grace of parenting and his dreams. Now he doesn't have to make a choice, he just has to enjoy football to the fullest and enjoy the joy that football brings.

"Napoleon Reeves?" Reeves was finally pulled back into the real world and smiled embarrassedly when he realized that he was distracted.

Fortunately, the French reporters did not want to go with the British, and they showed more tolerance and understanding for Reeves's distraction.

"Congratulations on making an epic debut, how does it feel?" The beautiful reporter of the team newspaper handed over the recorder and took the lead in asking questions.

Reeves scratched his head and smiled, "It feels great, it's like a dream." Why don't you hit me and see if all this is real? ”

The beautiful reporter of "Team Daily" looked at Reeves's delicate and handsome face with a warm face, and the romantic enthusiasm of the French was extremely profound at this time, and the beautiful reporter stood on tiptoe and gave Reeves a fragrant kiss on the cheek.

"Now we know if it's the real world!" The beautiful reporter of "Team Daily" asked with a smile.

Reeves touched the place where he had been kissed, and said with an intoxicated smile: "How can there be such a good thing in the real world, it seems that I am in a dream." Pointing to the other cheek, he continued, "Since it's in a dream, it's better to have another one." ”

Everyone burst into laughter, what a lovely young man.

The Canal+ reporter managed to squeeze into the crowd and handed the microphone over. "What do you have to say as the best player of the game?"

"Long live Lille! Long live the fans! Reeves yelled at the camera.

"Before you played, the team was 2-0 down, how would you rate your team-mates' performance today?" This is a reporter for Rennes' local newspaper Rennes Athletic.

'The team-mates were all doing well, they all did their best to play, it was just bad luck and the score on the pitch didn't mean anything. Reeves was not provoked at all.

"You're only 16 years old, you haven't signed a professional contract yet, and there are a lot of teams that are going to offer you a good contract after tonight, so what do you do?" The reporter from Canal+ continued to ask.

"I love Lille, and if I want to leave Lille, it will be after Lille rises again."

"Can I understand it this way: Lille will never win the league and you will never leave?"

"Suffice it to say, it's a tough task, but I'm going to do my best to get it done." Reeves replied with clenched fists.

Loyal players are always respected, and Reeves has won the favor of many reporters because of this, young! Handsome! Humor! Humility! Loyal! What a good lad!

The reporter of "French football" asked curiously: "Reeves, why do you keep refusing call-ups for national teams at all levels?" What is the reason? ”

"I have a fear of flying, and the national youth team often needs to go abroad to compete, so I chose to refuse, and when I overcome my fear of flying, I will definitely obey the call-up." Maybe it was because of the accident in the plane in his previous life, so Reeves has an instinctive fear of flying in this life.

After answering various questions from reporters one after another, Reeves was finally released, and he ran directly to the stands and joined the joyous crowd.

The players threw Reeves high and shouted long live, whether it was teammates or fans, they all had a friendly attitude towards Reeves, who was in full bloom.

In the huge stadium, the home team fans were scattered, and only the joyful Lille fans remained, and the cheers did not stop for a long time.
