Saint-Étienne Sports Association hosted Montpellier last weekend for the 9th day of the Arkema D1. A week after a big defeat, ASSE returned to the Salif-Keita stadium to face an ambitious Montpellier team. Unfortunately, the Greens lost again (0-2).
A difficult first time for ASSE
The start of the game was complicated for the Stéphanoises, who conceded the opening score in the second minute. After this difficult start, ASSE failed to reverse the momentum and conceded a second goal in the 42nd minute.
Laurent Mortel, the coach of Vertes, spoke after the game:
“We lost the game in this bad first period”
“We conceded a goal after a minute and a half and the second in the 42nd minute. They were important moments and, at the back, we were chasing the score. The first half of I would prefer the second one, in terms of generosity and desire to move forward, to try to turn things around a bit more, but we also have to look at our efficiency in the last 30 metres us in the second half, but we didn’t convert them, but they were very effective and realistic,” said the ASSE coach.
Lessons to be learned for the future
Laurent Mortel expects more from his team for the next games, especially against Guingamp: “I think the girls prepared well for this game. But as soon as we surrender to this opening goal, it completely destroys our plans. We knew Montpellier were going to start strong, especially after our poor result the week before. The second half, much better, is the one we have to rely on to prepare for the next game against him Guingamp. If we approach this game with the same desire to move forward and surpass ourselves, we could hope for something. It is with this spirit that we must work and prepare. “
Next important meeting against Guingamp
Laurent Mortel’s players will return to the field on December 7 for the En Avant Guingamp reception, during the A crucial game for the Greens, who hope to bounce back after this defeat.
