[ASSE-MHSC] Pierre Ekwah (ASSE): “Montpellier put real pressure on us”

The Pailladins suffered criticism from the networks following their post-match reactions. A bit too positive as they lost to the Greens and remained dead last. However, the Saint-Etienne residents salute in a certain way the performance of the MHSC, starting with Pierre Ekwah, defensive midfielder from ASSE:

“It’s true that Montpellier has quite a few situations, quite a few opportunities. They tried to get into our area a lot and they did it. We knew how to hold on even though it was difficult and when we were able to score we did it. At the end of the match, you have to be mentally strong to not give in to this constant pressure. The last ten and fifteen minutes, Montpellier put real pressure on us. We had to stay strong, that’s what we did. »

Louis Mouton, for his part, was aware of the face displayed by his team during this crucial match: “ There are matches like that where we are not good, we know it. We are aware of it. It was a bit of a match of fear, we knew we had to leave Montpellier behind and take three points. We perhaps didn't start the match in the best way but in the end, it's three points, that's what we have to remember. We're going to work on the video this week so as not to repeat the same performance but in the end, it's three points in the Cauldron and that's nice.«

Whatever happens, it is Saint-Étienne which takes the points and Montpellier which sinks in the ranking.
