We must take advantage of the positive dynamic while it exists. This is in essence the message sent by Luka Elsner this Sunday after having successfully validated the 4th victory of the season for Stade de Reims in seven matches. Confident after the draw snatched at Paris Saint-Germain followed by the victory at Angers, the Rémois therefore capitalized this Sunday with a great success against Montpellier, poorly ranked at the start of the season. As a nod to Just Fontaine whose statue had just been inaugurated, the Rémois demonstrated clinical efficiency this Sunday. From the 6th minute, Oumar Diakitein his new role, was found overflowing on the right side and centered perfectly for Marshall Munet. With his head, the Reims midfielder perfectly cut the trajectory of the ball to send it into the net.
The evening was underway. In control, Reims left the ball to its opponent, then used its highlights to make the difference. In good shape since the start of the season Keito Nakamura took the opportunity to add a second splendid goal. A control, a hook which eliminated three players and a powerful cross shot from 25 meters which left the Hérault goalkeeper no chance. In the euphoria, the Rémois created other opportunities against an overwhelmed Montpellier. As is still too often the case, it took an error to stop the machine. Poor clearance Yevann Diouf benefited Arnaud Nordin whose shot reduced the gap before the break
4th victory, 4th place
The appearance does not change upon returning from the locker room. If not brilliant, Reims is in control. In the middle of the pace which was dropping, Oumar Diakité turned on the lights on the hour mark, perfectly found by Nakamura to take off again. The opportunity then to enter management with the traditional changes. The reduction in the score at the end of the match did not cause more panic. On the following action, in stoppage time, Teddy Teuma converted a penalty which definitively sealed the fate of the match. Here is the Stade de Reims 4th in Ligue 1 with 14 points in seven games and a clearly positive dynamic. Without knowing how far this series will take the club, Luka Elsner wants to take advantage, hoping that the international break does not slow down the momentum…
