Another complicated afternoon for the Montpellier footballers! They fell heavily (4-2) at the Auguste Delaune stadium in Reims this Sunday afternoon. Montpellier is penultimate in Ligue 1.
It must be said that it was not simple. Michel Der Zakarian faced an avalanche of absentees : Tanguy Coulibaly and Rabby Nzingoula suspended, Kiki Kouyaté, Becir Omeragic, Khalil Fayad, Moussa Al-Tamari, Yannis Issoufou and Othmane Maamma injured. Jordan Ferri plays with the reserve team.
The match
The start of the match was nevertheless interesting in the Montpellier gamebut it was the Rémois who opened the scoring with Marshall Munetsi (6′), then the talent of Keito Nakamura broke through La Paillade (25′). Arnaud Nordin gave hope with a great strike from 30 meters (37′). The second half was quite poor but the Champenois still worsened the score thanks to Oumar Diakité (57′), then Teddy Teuma on a penalty (94′). Nordin had furtively given some hope by scoring a brace (91′).
The number: 21
With the four Reims goals this Sunday, Paillade has already conceded 21 goals after just seven Ligue 1 matches. This is the worst total for a team at this stage of the competition in the 21st century. The MHSC is obviously the worst defense in the championship.
The player: Arnaud Nordin
The Montpellier winger is undoubtedly one of the only satisfactions of the evening. Silent since the start of the season, he scored a double (37′ and 91′) which he owes only to himself and his talent. A very heavy strike from around thirty meters in the first half, then a ball brushed into the top corner at the end of the match.
The reaction: Michel Der Zakarian
The pailladin coach presented himself at a press conference very angry. Even cold anger. He castigated the attitude of his players : “You have to want to defend to win matches. If you don’t want to, then you lose and you go to Ligue 2.” He quickly left the conference, slamming the door.
