Little space was left at Montpellier Hérault in After Foot on RMC Sport, it must be said that if the defensive plan was generally respected, our Pailladin simply did not show anything to go ahead and attempt the enterprise. It was Kévin Diaz, consultant for the show, who spoke about the performance of the Hérault:
“Montpellier was very disappointing. The game plan was clearly to reassure themselves, you can understand that, but they were too passive in their way of defending themselves, being 40 meters from goal without really pressing to obstruct Lens. They created very few possibilities on quick transitions. In the match, apart from this header from Germain at the end of the game, there was almost nothing. “
It was former Auxerre goalkeeper Lionel Charbonnier who briefly completed these first words: “You can wait in the middle of the block, it’s a game plan but when you get back … The ball was lost too quickly, there was no real plan, no control for the attackers. When you see the attackers lined up he is feverish, lacks offensive ambitions. Attention, Montpellier receives Lyon and goes to Rennes, the calendar is complicated … Attention. “
In his three points, the 98 World Champion even said: “Montpellier is in serious trouble”.
