Le coach montpelliérain a aimé la victoire de son équipe à Maubeuge (0-4) malgré les conditions difficiles.

Michel Der Zakarian, coach de Montpellier
« I think that even in the first half, we did good things, we tried to control this team well, to go through the flanks, there were good phases of play. He missed the finish. We had set-piece situations but we narrowly missed. Afterwards in the second half, we scored a nice goal, it was well constructed, well delivered. Then afterwards, the returnees did good too. I'm happy for Akor with his two goals and his assist. This will give him confidence for the end of the season.

We had to continue to move the ball faster and more accurately to have chances. If you play two per hour, it's difficult against a well-organized team. We have to respect all the teams, we expected a difficult pitch, it was, but less difficult than expected. We were still able to play, score goals, it had been a long time since we had scored in the game. »

Maxime Estève, defender of Montpellier
« The main thing is done, we knew it would be complicated on a difficult pitch, we retained the victory. We didn't concede any chances in the first half but we didn't score on the actions we should have taken. We came back as conquerors in the second half and scored directly. »
