While the club distanced itself from its comments concerning its salary during Montpellier's crushing defeat in the Coupe de France against Le Puy (4-0), the MHSC captain wanted to apologize this Monday, December 23.
The club preferred to try to quickly put out the fire: two days after the controversial comments made by its captain Téji Savanier during the humiliating defeat in the Coupe de France at Le Puy (4-0), the MHSC published a press release this Tuesday, December 23.
“The MHSC would like to clarify that it does not endorse these words, which reflect neither the values of the club nor those of its captain”wrote the pailladin club, speaking of the sentence pronounced by its midfielder: “When you get 210,000 euros, it’s okay.” Response given to Puy supporters mocking Montpellier's classification in Ligue 1 by Savanier on Sunday.
“I want to apologize”
In the same press release, the player with more than 160 matches with the orange and blue jersey himself reacted to the event. “I would like to apologize for the comments I made, which went beyond my thoughts. I sincerely regret this direct reaction.“he said.
“Like the team, I am going through a complicated period, but that does not justify my wordshe continued. I am fully committed to defending this jersey and I will continue to fight with my teammates to rectify the situation. We won't give up.”
And for good reason, Montpellier Hérault has only won two matches this season, which means it is currently last in Ligue 1, four points behind the first non-relegation team, Angers. Pitifully eliminated in the Coupe de France by a National 2 club, Le Puy (4-0), Jean-Louis Gasset's players will travel to Lyon for the resumption, Saturday January 4 at 9 p.m.
