“If you don’t want to defend, if you concede two goals per match, you go to Ligue 2! » Michel Der Zakarian, the Montpellier coach, was in a rage after his team’s defeat in Reims (2-4) on Sunday October 6, as part of the seventh day of Ligue 1.
With this fifth defeat and 21 goals conceded, the MHSC slipped to seventeenth place and had a very delicate start to the season.
“We don’t want to defend”
Deprived of eleven players before kick-off, the Hérault technician brushed aside this excuse and castigated the attitude of his players, overwhelmed in particular on the first three Reims goals.
“You have to want to defend and you don’t want to defend”said the Montpellier coach, banging his fist on the table several times. “We conceded two goals in our 5.50 meters, we are not at the drop of the balls, we are two meters from the marking. »
