Ligue A Men / 16th day, this Saturday in Chaban-Delmas, Montpellier faces Ajaccio.
On the strength of their series of thirteen consecutive victories, the championship leaders receive this Saturday from Corsicans in search of points to take off from last place. Dominators, unstoppable, the championship bulldozer …
The superlatives are linked and even stacked up every week to try to comment on the exceptional season that the Héraultais are having. By overcoming Tours (2-3), Poitiers (3-0) then Cannes (3-0), Olivier Lecat’s men started the year as they had finished 2020. Up to date at the level of matches played this season, they are logically first in Ligue AM (37 points) with a 4-point lead over the Dauphin Tours. With an incredible series of 16 consecutive victories in all competitions, this weekend they welcome the red lantern of the Ajaccio championship (6 points). A match of extremes that captain Javier Gonzalez does not wish to take lightly despite everything.
Ajaccio will want points
“It is true that Ajaccio is in difficulty, wants points. This is reason enough to be wary and to take this match like any other match. The calendar does not matter very much, we always prepare in the same way regardless of the opponent. We approach the matches as we know how to do from the start“ affirms the number 1 Hérault who admits all the same to be satisfied with the current form of his team: “We are happy to be where we are, we play very well and we know how to stay focused. We qualified for the semifinals of the European Cup last month, this month we are first in the championship, obviously it’s nice. But it’s not over, don’t think about it too much and stay focused on each game“.
It is true that Ajaccio, red lantern in the standings with only one victory in 15 games, will have nothing to lose with the leader. With the former Montpellier Quentin Jouffroy, second best central in the AM League, and with his recruit at the forefront Robin Overbeeke, on loan from Paris Volley until the end of the season, Ajaccio will have assets to showcase in this match.
