Téji Savanier summed up perfectly in less than 40 minutes of play, during Toulouse – Montpellier (1-2), by accumulating a fantastic goal and a stupid red card – although severe.
With technical ease as astonishing as ever, Téji Savanier scored yet another exceptional goal Friday evening in Toulouse (1-2), undoubtedly one of the finest of the season in Ligue 1. After this slightly whipped volley from outside , full top corner, in the 27th minute, the historic captain of the MHSC was sent off directly in the 65th for having pushed Cristian Casseres. If the Venezuelan midfielder has greatly added to it and the red card was perhaps not necessary, Savanier will therefore not escape an expulsion this season, his eighth since his elite debut in 2018 – a record in the five major European championships.
Der Zakarian: “His goal is him. He’s a street player”
Never injured, he played every match and would set a record for him for five years. But two matches from the end of the championship, the one who helped out the French team as best he could at the Tokyo Games in 2021 (with André-Pierre Gignac and Florian Thauvin) therefore breaks down. Even if he will probably only be suspended for one match, that deprives him of one last gala next week at La Mosson against Monaco.
Michel Der Zakarian did not defend him excessively, probably a little upset at the presence of its leader the day before at the Orange Vélodrome to attend OM – Atalanta : “I didn’t see his second card, it’s a shame because I was happy that he could play all the matches this season, it would have been good. He needs to learn to control himself better.” But when it comes to evoking his flash of light from the first period, we don’t have to push the pailladin coach very far for his eyes to light up again: “His goal is him, “It’s talent. I’m not capable of it, but he is, these goals and crazy passes… He’s a street player.”
