During the humiliation suffered on the Puy field with Montpellier in the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France (4-0), Téji Savanier was criticized regarding the rank of bottom of his club in Ligue 1. And the captain responded with a factual financial argument.
The situation in Montpellier is not enviable and leaves the door open to numerous recruitments. Red lantern of Ligue 1 with 9 points collected in 15 matches, the team led by Jean-Louis Gasset was perhaps counting on the Coupe de France in order to regain its health but it suffered a more than logical humiliation by Le Puy, resident from National 2 and far superior (4-0). “It’s a competition that could give us a little oxygen, we’re going to analyze it carefully because we were swept away,” summarized a technician who was obviously worried about the lack of character of his troops.
“When you get 210,000 euros per month, it’s okay!”
During the meeting, a sequence ignited social networks and will undoubtedly not do justice to Téji Savanier, captain of a ship which hit rock bottom at the Stade Charles-Massot. Preparing to take a corner, the attacking midfielder was challenged by a supporter present in the stands. “Last in Ligue 1, doesn’t that hurt?” said the Puy fan, who got what he was looking for with the response from the MHSC captain, going so far as to reveal his salary by turning to him. “When you earn 210,000 euros per month, it’s okay!”
Subsequently chambered by another local supporter who criticized him for his weight gain, Savanier will undoubtedly not improve his image among MHSC supporters and our colleagues from Midi Libre did not hesitate to target the child from the Gély city which “has twisted the image of the club which, through the determinism of algorithms, is reflected in the unfortunate declarations of President Laurent Nicollin at the start of the season (concerning the price of the subscription to DAZN, editor's note)”. Montpellier, never in the game against Puy, will try as best they can to get off on the right foot in 2025 and it will not be easy because, from the start, a trip to Groupama Stadium will await the teammates of Téji Savanier, in order to challenge OL (Saturday January 4 at 9 p.m.).
