Clermont – MHSC: “Chain a third consecutive victory”, Michel Der Zakarian only spoke about the match before returning to Clermont

Michel Der Zakarian concentré sur le football et rien d’autre… Midi Libre – JEAN MICHEL MART

L’entraîneur de Montpellier était en conférence de presse, vendredi 12 avril et n’a voulu aborder que le côté sportif du match à Clermont.

We expected Michel Der Zakarian to wind up like a clock and even vehement at a press conference to talk about the match in Clermont, Sunday April 14, following the incident and the firecracker throwing of the first leg. Lost, the Montpellier coach did not want to fuel the controversy and was content to talk about the meeting.

"The goal is to have a good match to simply win it. It would be nice to have a third consecutive victory. We have to approach the match well and do everything possible", the MHSC coach simply said. Whose goal is to "win two matches to ensure maintenance. We need 38 points."

Tamari and Saint-Luce injured, return of Kouyaté and Sylla

Game-wise, Der Zak wants his players "be disciplined, that we play our match, with our qualities, continue not to concede goals, to try to score as we did in our last two matches".

He will not be able to count on Mousa Tamari who was injured for this trip but who trotted away on Friday morning, unlike Théo Sainte-Luce who was injured in the thigh. The Montpellier technician, on the other hand, recovers Kiki Kouyaté, back after his concussion and who has had authorization from the neurologist, and Issiaga Sylla recovered from his calf injury.

He also hopes that "Lucas Mincarelli and Enzo Tchato continue to put in good performances. They have qualities, the ability to play good matches and they are currently executing them well. We expect them to have continuity in their performances". But not just young people. "We expect everyone, the entire workforce, to be ready when we call on them. You have to be present all the time, that's the lot of big teams, when you're not good, you go to the stands or you stay on the bench and you watch your friends play."
