[Mercato] Dave Appadoo (L’Équipe): “Ben Yedder, are these the values ​​of the MHSC?”

Dave Appadoo needs no introduction. Consultant on the set of The evening team this Monday, he returned to the rumor linking Montpellier Hérault to Wissam Ben Yedder. The sports journalist was stunned to see this possibility for the pailladin club:

“There are players who are having bad seasons, coaches and managers too, obviously, the leaders of Montpellier are having a very (very) bad season. In what world did they think Ben Yedder was a good idea? I'm just transposing to make it clear, if a club had the idea of ​​recruiting someone convicted, and I don't say accused because he was indeed convicted, for racist assault, would that be Would we ask ourselves the question of recruiting him? Never ! Or, we must say openly that feminicidal aggression is less important than one with a racist dimension.

It's amazing, when you're in the situation of the MHSC, to add that to yourself. The question is obviously not about the sporting value of Ben Yedder because if he was not in all these stories, he would not be linked to Montpellier, he would be elsewhere. I find it mind-blowing. The recruitment of Greenwood, I had condemned it in every way even though there had been no conviction by the courts, there is an officialization. And besides, there are other matters going on.”

As a reminder, at the post-match press conference, Jean-Louis Gasset, without responding, did not deny the information.
