MHSC: Joris Chotard above, Akor Adams disappointing…discover the notes of the match against Lille

Le milieu pailladin a répondu présent. Midi Libre – JEAN MICHEL MART

Le milieu de terrain montpelliérain a réussi une excellente prestation dimanche face à Lille au bout d'un nul frustrant (0-0), contrairement à l'attaquant nigérian, encore muet en Ligue 1.

Rather clever at first, was Montpellier too timid after the break and the expulsion of the young northern midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi ? By refusing to change the system and move to a four-man defense, Michel Der Zakarian did not force the fate of this match against Lille. And Montpellier must settle for another draw (0-0) at Mosson.

Lecomte (5/10): No saves in a meeting where Lille was singularly lacking in precision. His kicking game was more hesitant than usual.

Hefti (5/10): Sober and efficient, the Swiss rookie combined rather well with Nordin on the right side. Positioned higher after the break, he wasted one or two opportunities, like a cross (72nd) or a shot captured by Chevalier (85th).< /p>

Omeragic (6/10): Reassuring at all levels. He secured the restart, always played fair, but also ensured his defensive work. Considering the nature of the match, he could have taken more risks in the game, integrated into the middle.

Jullien (4/10): The control tower was rather hesitant in this match. He missed several restarts, including one resulting in a dangerous northern strike (25th). He had other inaccuracies without being very calm defensively.

Estève (6/10): Shaken from the start by contact with Gudmundsson, he was fine back in the match. And did the job, providing good coverage on Zeghrova and being effective in the duels. Clean in the game.

Mincarelli (4/10): He suffered before Zhegrova, the pearl of the North. He was hampered by Kosovar's risk-taking and speed. Visibly injured, he was replaced by Sainte-Luce (64th), who forgot to mark Zeghrova.

Chotard (7/10): The best Montpellier Present, very present. Interceptions followed by a sequence forward, engagement in duels, a counter on David (47th), and two splendid half-volleys just before the break. One flush with the post (36), the other diverted by the Chevalier goalkeeper.

Savanier (6/10):Real launching pad. Like a good shot stopped by Chevalier (10th), he regained all his influence in the game. Alongside Chotard, always impeccable, he was fair with his long or short play . Positioned again in front of the defense, he oriented the game perfectly. And, he provoked the expulsion of young Bouaddi (45+2nd),

Nordin (5/10 then Coulibaly 3/10): He sucked up the play on the right side. Still out of form, and therefore less enterprising than last year, he held the ball, caused fouls and was useful for his team. He offers a perfect cross on Khazri's opportunity (32nd).

The ex-Stephanois, injured again, was replaced at the break by Coulibaly, who completely missed his match. The Parisian did not achieve anything on the side.

Khazri (4/10): His beautiful volley returned by Chevalier (32nd) put him in the match . It makes us forget the first questionable, somewhat individualistic choices. He was replaced at the hour mark by Axel Guéguin, barely visible on the left side.

Adams (3/10): Still struggling and disappointing. Facing the most formidable central axis Yoro-Alexsandro in Ligue 1, the Nigerian striker struggled to exist despite two pivotal shots (27th, 59th), a shot wide (45th) . In particular, he spoiled a perfect opening from Savanier (75th) and never took advantage of the spaces.
