Zoumana Camara, on DAZN, returned to the meeting and in particular tried to draw positives from the performance of the Montpellier residents at Groupama Stadium.
“This is the lot of teams who are poorly ranked, they play a consistent match and we sense a form of fear in the last minutes. And we feel this fear. On the other side, there is a team with success and destiny, they force it. This is what Montpellier was unable to do in this match. It’s a shame.
Just because they lost doesn’t mean there’s everything to throw away. They did very good things. They need to build on what they did tonight. I am convinced that if they can repeat this kind of performance, they will take points. The Montpellier team was ambitious, wanted to recover the balls high. When recovering, they knew how to plan ahead. It’s a team that has won quite a few duels, which has been conquering, united. We saw it at half-time, they talked a lot, they left before the Lyonnais. They were in the exchange. They must keep all this.
Afterwards, certain things were missing: technical accuracy and being more killer in the last gesture. This is the lot of teams that are doing badly.“
If we are to believe the figures, the MHSC even dominated the debates with sixteen shots, four more than the Lyonnais. And for the duels, Montpellier won forty-eight, three more than the Rhone residents. These are encouraging signs which show that our favorite eleven is capable of holding its own against the teams at the top of the ranking.
We will now have to take points by repeating this type of performance, starting next Sunday, against Angers at La Mosson in a match between two competitors for maintenance.
