[Préparation] A new friendly scheduled against… AS Cannes

It’s an opposition that will please the older players, with a slight background of rivalry. When, in memory, the last meeting between the two teams was in the Coupe de France, in Cannes in 2014, where the MHSC under Rolland Courbis was eliminated after having eliminated Paris SG at the Parc des Princes. We will wait a bit before returning to the penalty missed by Mbaye Niang that evening after the Ferrari episode at Grammont.

Today in National 2, AS Cannes is involved in a major project to regain its former colours. The club has in fact been bought by the current owner of AS Roma. While waiting to see the result of these new ambitions, the Côte d’Azur club will face Montpellier in a summer friendly. This is the first French opponent of Michel Der Zakarian and his men’s tour.

The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 7, at 6 p.m. The location has not been specified, but in any case, this match will take place behind closed doors. More accustomed to broadcasting its preparation, will the MHSC do us this pleasure? It would be quite unlikely that the exercise will rest on AS Cannes.
