Following the strong statements of Téji Savanier, Montpellier Hérault SC has decided to take firm measures.
Nothing is going to Montpellier. Last of the League 1, the Héraultais have shown a pale face since the start of the season. With only 2 wins in 15 matchesthe Montpellier residents seem close to a descent into the second division. In addition, Montpellier has just wiped a heavy defeat in the Coupe de France, 4-0 against Puy Foot 43 Auvergne, a National 2 club. However, it was not just the defeat that sparked reactions.
During a corner, supporters of the Auvergne club heckle the captain Téji Savanier about the classification of the Montpellier club in Ligue 1. He retorts: “???????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????????????? ????????????.???????????? ???????????????????? ???????????? ????????????????, ????̧???? ????????.” A sentence that did not go unnoticed, since the scene was filmed. The supporters, but also the club, were disappointed by the captain's comments and expressed their disagreement in a press release.
“Following the comments made by Téji Savanier this Saturday evening, the Montpellier Hérault Sport Club would like to clarify that he does not condone these words, which reflect neither the values of the club nor those of its captain.”
Téji Savanier also wanted to apologize to the club and the supporters.
“I would like to apologize for the comments I made, that have gone beyond my thoughts. I sincerely regret this direct reaction. I cross, like the team, a complicated period, but that does not justify my words. 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.“
A complicated future in Montpellier
With this ranking and this defeat, Montpellier can only play maintenance. This end of the year was not conclusive for the people of Montpellier. In addition, Savanier's words greatly touched the fans, who see it as a weariness of the player with the situation.
This press release helps calm things down after this video. The club is not in a good situation and everyone must remain united so that Montpellier can believe in maintenance at the end of the season.
