This is an opposition that will please the oldest, on a slight background of rivalry. When, from 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 little before returning to the penalty missed by Mbaye Niang that evening after the Ferrari episode in Grammont.
Today in National 2, AS Cannes is involved in a major project to regain its colors of yesteryear. The club was in fact 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 meeting. This is the first French opponent of the tour of Michel Der Zakarian and his men.
The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 7, at 6 p.m. between a trip to Florence and another to Mainz. In view of this program, it is not to be excluded that these 90 minutes benefit the players used mainly in the rotation. The place of the opposition is not specified when 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 rather unlikely that the exercise rests on AS Cannes.
