Leaving the red lantern: it is an almost unexpected opportunity for Montpellier in the event of success in Le Havre. But conversely…
Montpellier recalled Jean-Louis Gasset, always with the idea that it is in the old pots that the best jams are made, but the Héraultais conceded a severe 3-0 at home against Toulouse in the first match of the successor of Michel Der Zakarian, who is therefore trying to think a lot ahead of his second meeting in Le Havre (Sunday at 3 p.m.). Which, for him, is “not a final” even if it looks a lot like one between the last two separated by two points: “It's a team within our reach, so it's an important match. We always dream, We'll see if the week's work was substantial enough. We're trying to look for ideas internally and externally to improve, to breathe new life into it.”
“We saw people who were suffering, we will try to find the lever”
Roberto De Zerbi's recent predecessor on the OM bench spoke of “a brilliant idea” and that was before the recruitment of Nikola Maksimovic, central defender who signed on Thursday for MHSC. The coach described “a player who would strengthen us but who should fill a lot of boxes: of a good level, immediately operational and inexpensive.” The 70-year-old technician recalled that his executives like Boubakar Kouyaté, Christopher Jullien and Becir Omeragic would not be available for a month and a half. From there to considering in advance Nikola Maksimovic, the former Napoli player, as this famous brilliant idea, there is a certain margin.
In the meantime, Jean-Louis Gasset strives above all to pacify the atmosphere as much as possible, while the supporters came to training angry: “It's normal that they want to talk to the players, they expect more like the rest of us … We saw people who were suffering, like many in this club. I advocate sacred union, we will try to find the lever to stop this spiral.
