Back in Ligue 1, Lille continued to win, and in the next two games, Reeves was not impressive, but still performed remarkably. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lille 2-1 Toulouse, Reeves' breakthrough shot caused the opposition goalkeeper to get out of his hands, and Keita opened the scoring with a follow-up shot.

Valenciès 0-3 Lille, Reeves successfully countered offside, dribbled past the goalkeeper and fired the ball into the empty net to extend the score.

After 7 rounds, Lille ranks second in the Ligue 1 standings with an excellent record of 6 wins and 1 loss and 18 points.

Reeves is second highest in Ligue 1 with seven goals.

Reeves has scored seven goals in six league games this season, plus a brace in the Champions League group stage, nine goals in seven games, and an average of 1.29 goals per game, which is a perfect statistic for a newcomer. That's a good stat even for a good striker, and it would be a horrible stat to keep that average goals per game until the end of the season.

In an environment where the team has won back-to-back games, Lille's fans and media are cheering on their young goalscorer.

After the away match against Valenciès, the next day's Lille local media newspaper Le Sport du Nord devoted half of its sports page to praise Reeves' performance.

"The storm of youth is quietly blowing in Ligue 1, Ribery, Gourcuff, Diaby these youngsters have already made a name for themselves last season, and at the beginning of the new season, this wave of youth storm has intensified, and among the ten people with the highest average rating in Ligue 1 in the first seven rounds, seven are under the age of 25 and four are under the age of 20.

This is a wonderful time, a time for young people.

Marseille have Ribery and Nasri, Lyon have Benzema and Ben Arfa, Monaco has Mane and Nice have Lloris.

But we don't envy at all, because we have Reeves.

His skill, ball sense, shooting skills and imagination are as good as the 87 Little Swans (see notes).

And his racing attitude and ability to run aggressively are incomparable to the four little swans.

I don't think there's anything other than injuries to stop Reeves from becoming a star.

I'm not alone.

'Reeves is a natural goalscorer, even if there is an abyss in front of him, he will finish the shot first and then think about the fall, and he has a strong desire to score. Reeves' coach at Clerfontaine's training base, Cottle, said some time ago, 'He can score the ball past three defenders, he can take those chances he picks up, he's a good scorer.' He's going to score more goals in the future, and he's just getting started. ’

If you're looking for a moment to claim yourself on the world stage, it's going to be the first home goal against Lens. 'It was a great moment and a great goal, and in the last few weeks, many fans are still talking about how he passed and how he scored, it was a classic moment that will always be remembered by the fans, and he will score even greater goals in the future, he is destined to be a legend for Lille. ’

'You can see his composure on the pitch, which is rare among his peers, and he gets better and better as he gets older. Puel said in an interview, 'As long as he can keep focusing on football and working hard to improve, his career will be limitless.' ’

Countless people are optimistic about Reeves' future.

Gifted and hardworking.

The point is that he is only 16 years old.

His future is limitless.

It was the Belle Époque of Lille. ”

Not only the local media in Lille, but now Reeves can be said to be one of the hottest names in Ligue 1, and the media in Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, and Marseille have also reported on Reeves' performance at great length.

And the most authoritative sports daily newspaper in France and even in Europe, "Team Newspaper", has not only set its sights on Reeves, but also on the Lille team with excellent records.

Lille had a strong start under Puel's leadership, not only with a 6-1 record in Ligue 1 followed by Lyon with 6 wins and 1 draw, but also with an impressive performance in Europe, beating Leberniki 5-0 and Antlecht 6-1.

Before the start of the season, the outside world was not optimistic about this young team, believing that last season's third place in the league had drained the potential of this team, and with the new season they have been dragged down by European competition, the media predicted that the average age of less than 25 years old Lille could suffer Waterloo this season, but Puel led Lille to a surprising dream start.

So far, Lille (16 goals in 7 games) have proven that they are the only team that can compete with Lyon (19 goals in 7 games) in terms of attacking firepower, and if they maintain their current form, Lille is likely to cause problems for Lyon's way to defend their title, but only trouble, and if Lyon themselves do not have an accident, then it will be difficult for Lille to stop Lyon from winning the Ligue 1 title for the sixth consecutive season. For neutral fans, they will be hoping that Puel's side can follow in Lyon's footsteps this time around, after all, they have enough quality this time around.

Even if they don't win the championship in the end, I believe that by the end of the season, Lille will be able to achieve a good result.

But all this will require Lille to maintain good form, and among the previous opponents, only Bordeaux are considered a strong team, and Lille cannot be fooled by the victory in front of them. Lille will face their strongest opponents in the next game, Serie A giants AC Milan, and will face a number of crucial fixtures that will set the tone for the season's performance in Ligue 1 and Europe.

In the summer transfer period, there have not been many personnel changes in the Lille team, except for the departure of Odem Wenge, and small signings (Oblagnac from the relegation team at a low price, South American Taobao product Bastos, free agents Kluivert and Lamy), Lille's squad is basically unchanged, and it is clear that Puel wants the team to remain stable.

So far this season, Lille's formation has remained stable, 4-2-3-1, with the difference from last season being that Oblagnac occasionally appeared in the midfield position, and Reeves replaced Odemwenji in the forward position.

Oblagnac is still in the run-in phase, but Reeves has already made a difference.

Reeves is a close second to Pauletta in last season's Golden Boot with seven goals, while the Paris striker now has eight goals.

In the league, Lille have played a few fewer draws than at the start of last season, and the key to the draw was Reeves' goal. The winner beat Rennes and beat Bordeaux on his own, with Reeves' goal directly bringing two wins to Lille.

It is rare that these goals came at a time when Reeves was not at the heart of Lille's attack.

In today's Lille system, Reeves is more about creating space for his teammates to move, creating offensive opportunities for his teammates through wide range of deep runs and lateral penetrations. Defensively, he also provides Lille with a build-up for high post defense.

That's not the ceiling of Reeves' tactical role, and I'm looking forward to seeing him take on more attacking tasks in the coming games, as the whole of Ligue 1 has seen his outstanding individual qualities.

However, Reeves's lack of heading and coordination ability determines that he does not have the attributes of a central bridgehead and a number 9 and a half, he belongs to a high-quality shooter with a high chance conversion rate, and in the case of limited personal breakthroughs, he relies more on the creativity of the midfield, at present, the Lille midfield has hardness and impact, the only thing missing is creativity, and the arrival of Oblagnac has brought creativity, but the 22-year-old Pole has not fully adapted to the tactical system in Lille, once adapted, I believe that for Puel, Reeves will definitely be the end of the attack, and Reeves, who has been given more tactical tilt, will be even more terrifying.

Of course, as a potential superstar that the club has developed for the future, Reeves' progress and growth in the Puel system is something more to look forward to than the number of goals. ”

Stories like this have been in the news lately, with the exception of Lens and Rennes, which have only a brief score brief on Lille.

The praise from the outside did not disorient Reeves, because he knew that these praise was only temporary, as long as the performance declined, it would be far away from him, rather than enjoying this ethereal and ephemeral praise, it is better to improve yourself on the ground, maintain excellent form, and only keep scoring goals is the real success.

In between games, in addition to the normal training within the team every day, Reeves' morning training in the morning and extra training in the evening have become a habit.

Kluivert's recovery training is going well, and he can already carry out normal confrontation training with the team, and in the last game, Puel will be included in the squad for the game, although he did not play in the end, but it is a good start.

In Reeves' eyes, young Lille is heading in the right direction.

At this time, Lille welcomed their strongest opponent since the new season - AC Milan.
