MHSC: White wouldn’t say no to a return!
Briefly mentioned on November 8 by Guilhem Canal, author of the work “50 years, 50 views”, a return of Laurent Blanc to Montpellier would be possible. In the book dedicated to the half-century of existence of the Hérault club, the President, currently stationed in Saudi Arabia, explains: “I have respect for the coaches, even more for those of Montpellier. But if I feel that it is desired by everyone and that it is possible, that the calendars and trajectories align, sincerely, I would be capable of it. For everything I've said, it can do it. If we can help the club improve or maintain itself, we will do it without calculation. Even if I'm not someone who shows it, here I say it. I love Montpellier. If they call on me, and if I am available, I think the response will be positive.”
LOSC: Jonathan David in Newcastle’s sights?
According to certain information recently published across the Channel, LOSC striker Jonathan David would clearly be a priority for Newcastle leaders next season. And just like OL midfielder Rayan Cherki. It remains to be seen the position of the Lille club, which, if it wants to receive any compensation, must sell the Canadian this winter. Indeed, Jonathan Davis is coming to the end of his contract at LOSC next June.
Stade Brestois: hard blow for Lees-Melou
The package is likely. Against FC Barcelona, Tuesday at the Olympic stadium, for the long-awaited trip to the Champions League. Pierre Lees-Melou, released in the 22nd minute of play during the defeat conceded to Monaco (2-3), could even be absent for a longer period. The player felt severe pain from his injury last spring, in his right fibula. He left the lawn of Louis-II on crutches and no results were filtered following the additional examinations taken yesterday, Saturday. Not a good sign.
RC Strasbourg: Allianz Riviera succeeds well
This evening (8:45 p.m.), for the very last match of the 12th day of Ligue 1, RC Strasbourg travels to the OGC Nice field. An important match for Franck Haise's players, obliged to stay in contact with the leading teams in the standings. Be careful, however, because as the official website of the Alsatian club points out, the trip to the Allianz Riviera often goes well for the people of Strasbourg. If they had only won 3 times in 26 matches at the Ray stadium, the former GYM venue, they have already won three of their last six matches at the Allianz Riviera.
Girondins: an exceptional goal in Saint-Malo
The trip was a test yesterday for the Girondins de Bordeaux, who were traveling to the leader of National 2, US Saint-Malo. Result, a draw, 1-1, and a good point for Bruno Irles' players who occupy third position in the ranking. Note, in this meeting, the exceptional goal of the Girondins, scored in the 48th minute by Soufiane Bahassa, author of a lob from almost forty meters.
