MHSC: “Incomprehensible”, “start on time, not half an hour”, the reaction of Michel Der Zakarian after the defeat in Rennes

Michel Der Zakarian a pesté à Rennes contre les entames de mi-temps de ses hommes. Midi Libre – JEAN-MICHEL MART

L'entraîneur héraultais est apparu désabusé après le revers concédé à Rennes, samedi 3 février, après des débuts de mi-temps "incompréhensibles" a-t-il regretté. 

"Already at the start of the match, the first half hour, we were transparent, we didn't win a duel, there was a lot of waste. It's incomprehensible. The second period, we provoke this penalty. We woke up at 2-0 to shake them up, with more accuracy, more chances. But it’s too little to win a match. To win here, you need something else, it's a good team facing you.

You have to play a match like that from start to finish, not just play for half an hour. Everyone needs to raise their level.

We were able to shake them up (at the end), it shows that we have the capabilities. But you have to start on the hour, not half an hour. If we are not regular…

We ask ourselves questions

Whether there was fatigue, I don't know. I do not understand either. The matches must be started. Let's win the duels already. Then we have to use the ball too because when we had it…hellip; We give confidence to the opponent.

We ask ourselves questions. Why do we make such starts? This is not possible.

Karamoh makes a good entrance. The main thing is that he didn't get injured, after three weeks without playing for Torino."
