Bertrand Queneutte had gone to Nouste Camp to follow the meeting between Pau and Montpellier. At the final whistle, we almost wished his coach would never get to Béarn never to witness this spectacle. The reporter of France Blue Herault reacted warmly after the three whistles from the referee:
“La Paillade leaves the field with his head down, he manages to look at his shoes, Romain Pitau’s team was next to his décolleté. Montpellier exit this Coupe de France, eliminated by a Ligue 2 club when they had just entered the race. They faced their match very badly and never managed to overthrow Pau FC. We thought the changes during the game would help reverse the trend but no. Montpellier is leaving, Montpellier only has Ligue 1 and its eyes to cry. They let us down a lot today. »
A wider debriefing to be found obviously in 100% Paillade, on Monday evening, when the Pailladins did not deign to speak in the mixed zone.
