“Shame”… Gasset’s worrying speech after the Montpellier fiasco

On the one hand, a team from Puy which achieved a colossal feat, becoming the first fourth division team to beat an elite team by four goals (0-4), in the entire history of the French Cup. On the other, obviously, a Montpellier team at the bottom of the hole after having completely sunk. Jean-Louis Gasset, in comments relayed by the Team, did not hide his feelings after this dark evening. “Shame. A feeling of shame. It's a competition that could give us a little oxygen, we're going to analyze it carefully because we were swept away. We lost all the duels, missed the first two opportunities which could have changed the match. But mentally, it's very worrying. »

Gasset points to a sick team

The Montpellier coach, who is unable to re-mobilize a team already at a standstill under Der Zakarian, drew up a particularly worrying observation of his team's ills. “Since I arrived, we haven't scored a goal or taken a point away. I hoped that in another competition we could show more mental qualities. There, we gave up. Once we were behind, they played their game… There are two or three players opposite who wouldn't be out of place with us. Their 10 (Nicolas Pays), it seemed as if the ground was not bumpy for him whereas it was for us. This (Saturday) evening was the abyss, we will have to get over it”; breathed Gasset after the meeting.
