What is your view on the situation of the MHSC since the start of the season?
It’s a team that got off to a very bad start, which had great initial difficulties and, afterwards, when the defeats follow one another, morally, it’s always complicated. That said, the Championship is long. The Pailladins are not down either, 15 points behind the 1st non-relegation place. They are not very far away. All that’s missing is a series, and even if there was this short setback at Saint-Etienne last week, I hope that the success against Brest in the last home match will have served as a trigger . We must continue to correct the shortcomings while keeping what was done well against Brest to continue moving forward.
The fact that Lille is playing and not closing the game, can that also help us?
Yes, Le Losc is a very good team, which, in addition to its collective play, seems to me to have more individualities than Brest, including a scorer, Jonathan David, who has been in good spirits for several years and who has a string of goals… Lille has of elements which are permanent dangers, but the people of Montpellier must tell themselves that they are capable of controlling such players. Lille’s squad seems superior to Montpellier’s but, in one match, anything is possible.
