The Montpellier technician reacted after the miraculous draw recovered by his team against LOSC this Sunday at home.
“This is the point of hope,” declared Montpellier coach Jean-Louis Gasset after the draw snatched at Mosson against Lille (2-2) on Sunday.
«It's a deserved result considering the heart put against a great team. That’s what makes me happy, because in the second half, we moved them, we shook them», welcomed Gasset.
«We found La Paillade. Between the public, the revolt, the injustice, we wanted to extract a point. It's small, it's not much, we have eight (points, editor's note), but facing an opponent like that, who is in the ten best teams in Europe, we knew it would be a difficult match and that we had to go into commando mode. We started timidly, in the first half, we respected them, but without aggression, with a lack of good recovery», Estimated the coach, whose team nevertheless remains in last place in Ligue 1.
«In the second half, we played a crazy match. Everything is not extraordinary, I admit, but in the end, we equalize and we take a point», adds Gasset.
In an electric end to the match, Jean-Louis Gasset's nerves gave way and the coach was sent off in the 86th minute. The successor of Michel Der Zakarian, who returned to Hérault at the end of October, apologized to the referee Mr. Millot.
«I said I had no right to be angry», admits the coach.
