[OL-MHSC] Jean-Louis Gasset looks back on the match against Lyon and the positioning of Téji Savanier

In the columns of Free Middayat a press conference, Jean-Louis Gasset looked back on the fate of this meeting against Olympique Lyonnais, and the feeling, more than verified, that his group deserved better:

“At least one point. We would have been disappointed if we took a point. You can imagine, returning to Montpellier with zero points after a match like that… We played the match we needed.

We defended very well, we respected very well, the state of mind was impeccable. Which was not the case in the Coupe de France. But efficiency is the key word in football. It's been five matches that I have managed away from home with Montpellier, we still haven't scored a goal. Whereas, whether in Saint-Étienne, Lens or Lyon, against teams who are initially superior, we look them in the eye, we hurt them, we put them out of position. But in the last gesture, we fail.“

The Montpellier coach then returned to the placement of Téji Savanier in an original left winger position: “Against a team that was very strong in the middle, we had to hold the ball when we had it. Arnaud Nordin was injured. We couldn't have played with two outsiders. The fact that Téji plays on the left, he had to come inside to bring superiority, a technical note, his shot from afar. He respected it to the letter.”
