[ASSE-MHSC] Walid Acherchour: “Montpellier is poorly paid and deserved better in Saint-Etienne”

On RMC, in After Foot, Walid Acherchour and Damien Perquis reacted to the defeat of the Pailladins in Saint-Etienne on Saturday evening. The columnist and sports commentator found in particular that Jean-Louis Gasset's men deserved better.

Walid Acherchour : « Saint-Etienne's victory is important, although difficult because, in the match, I find that Montpellier is poorly paid. But it is a very important success at the bottom of the ranking. Saint-Etienne was put in difficulty, Montpellier would have deserved better.«

Damiens Perquis, ex-green, for his part underlined the importance of the Saint-Etienne public in this highly valuable success for ASSE.

Damien Perquis: “ Saint-Etienne has, with its stadium and its supporters, something additional compared to the other candidates for retention. It's an important asset, but you still have to know how to take the public with you and at the start of the second half, they did it. In the first, if Montpellier had managed to open the scoring, notably through Arnaud Nordin, there would have been no photo.

There must have been a speech at the break from Olivier Dall'Oglio, who is looking to get his players to conquer this stadium, and Bouchouari's goal rewarded this start. This extra soul is decisive in this type of 6-point match. We definitely shouldn't lose, but this victory is great for ASSE.«
