MHSC is definitely the favorite to finish bottom of Ligue 1 after its new defeat against AS Saint-Étienne. Against a direct competitor for maintenance, Montpellier let the Greens take three new points in advance and languish in last place in the championship, three lengths from the first non-relegation place.
The catastrophic start to the season for Montpellier, who were provoked by Olivier Dall'Oglio, continues with a sixth defeat in the last seven meetings, despite a burst of pride against Stade Brestois before the international break for the biggest misfortune of Jean-Louis Gasset.
Montpellier has “a limited workforce”
Indeed, the MHSC firefighter on duty could not hide his disappointment at the end of the meeting with strong words against his workforce: “we have a limited workforce, with important players injured,” he declared in particular. . Obviously, the maintenance mission now looks impossible given the state of confidence of Gasset's men.
However, the technician does not let himself be defeated and still believes in it. “A lot of things need to change. Because I've only been here a month. Tonight I saw my team play. Looking at the content, I tell myself that we can get there,” he declared.
The MHSC Deadly Calendar
“There are still 22 games left, so there is no question of giving up. We will continue to work, because the team is progressing, the players are better physically, and I find them more invested. Now, we will have to face teams stronger than us, like Brest, and use the same ingredients to get points.”
Montpellier's next games will not be easy with four matches against OGC Nice, OL, LOSC and RC Lens. It remains to be seen whether these big teams will make missteps which could benefit the MHSC which may be living its last months in Ligue 1.
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.
