Last in the class before hosting Auxerre this Sunday, Montpellier is worrying with its very complicated summer. Fan of the club, comedian Paul Mirabel is worried.
Montpellier, whose president Laurent Nicollin strongly supported the choice of DAZN for the TV rights and the re-election of Vincent Labrune to the LFP, has hardly recruited this summer. A slump to try to maintain financial balance in this period of financial crisis for Ligue 1 football clubs outside of the big guns. As a result, the start of the season for MHSC is catastrophic, and the Hérault club is last before playing Auxerre this Sunday afternoon. A first crucial match therefore to finally move up a gear, in the heart of a situation that worries the comedian Paul Mirabel, who intervenes in an editorial for Le Parisien to share his feelings about his favorite club.
Montpellier forced to hit rock bottom?
” After four Ligue 1 games, Montpellier — my club since I was 13 — hasn’t won a single match. One point, two small goals scored for thirteen conceded, a last place in the championship… We’re going to be stressed all season. We lost against Rennes, Nantes, Paris. This Sunday (5 p.m., at home), no excuses, we really have to win against Auxerre, a direct competitor for survival. Ligue 2 next year? I prefer not to even imagine it: such a great club, such a great city… In truth, it would devastate me. Football is a cycle, maybe we need to hit rock bottom a bit to get back up. Now, we need an electroshock, let’s not lie to ourselves, because if we keep repeating like this “we’re going to keep working, we’re going to keep working”, this story could last until May. In truth, I have mixed feelings about our chances of being able to offer ourselves other ambitions “, said the stand-up comedian, who for the moment sees Montpellier as one of the clubs that cannot keep up with those who are investing heavily to strengthen themselves.
