For several days, an incredible rumor has been stirring the sphere of French football: Montpellier would have an interest in Wissam Ben Yedder, the 34-year-old striker, currently at the center of legal controversies, in particular for convictions linked to sexual assault while in prison. drunkenness. The information, reported by The Teamprovoked a lot of reactions, especially among MHSC supporters.
To clarify the situation, Laurent Nicollin, president of Montpellier Hérault, took the lead by directly contacting Daniel Riolo, from After Foot on RMC Sport. During the broadcast, Riolo broadcast the leader’s comments, visibly annoyed. Nicollin has categorically denied any form of interest in Ben Yedder, calling the rumor unfounded and that his recruitment was never considered. He insisted on the fact that such a player, given his current situation and the facts with which he is accused, absolutely does not correspond to the identity of the pailladin club.
This intervention fueled a debate within the show, questioning the propensity of certain media to relay information based on indirect sources, such as the player’s entourage. Gilbert Brisbois, journalist and host of the show, reported for his part that it was possible that the club could have deliberately leaked the thing to take the temperature with the general public.
Laurent Nicollin therefore put an end to this rumor: the MHSC does not compromise on certain of its values.
