AS Saint-Étienne and Montpellier challenge each other this weekend on the occasion of the twelfth day of Ligue 1. A clash between two relegated teams in poor form which could allow only one of them to give themselves a a breath of fresh air the day after the international break.
Currently three points separate ASSE, 16th and dam operator, from MHSC 18th and red lantern. The stakes are therefore high since Montpellier could return to Sainté while the Greens could leave the red zone at the end of the weekend.
Dall'Oglio denigrates Montpellier
Obviously, with such high stakes, the meeting promises to be lively. And this is already the case ahead of the meeting since Olivier Dall'Oglio, who alerted to the lack of management at ASSE, did not hesitate to send a little dig to his former employer. As a reminder, the Stéphanois officiated during 52 meetings at the head of the MHSC between June 2021 and October 2022.
And the least we can say is that he seems to have a grudge against the Montpellier management after his statements at the pre-match press conference. “At the MHSC, they didn't give me much time, even though we weren't in danger either. When I left, we were 11th. I think that today, they would all be happy to be in this place,” he declared.
“I would have liked to stay a little longer”
The technician also wanted to clarify the reasons for his failure in Montpellier. “We didn't have much time. I think it was a team that was in transition. When we arrive, we lose Hilton, Gaëtan Laborde and Delort. The team worked pretty well, but was losing those valuable executives.”
“We had to rebuild and, when we rebuild, there is always a period of fragility. I would have liked to stay a little longer to rebuild. That was the main idea since I had signed three players. We moved a little closer to the training center with work with young people which had begun. »
Supporter of En Avant de Guingamp, the best of the Breton clubs, I prefer to meet Yannis Salibur, Cristophe Kerbrat or Jeremy Sorbon rather than Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or Sergio Ramos.
