Luka Elsner (Le Havre coach, after the 2-2 draw at Montpellier): “I’m satisfied because it’s a difficult context with a great team against us. It will be a team that will fight for European places. With the extreme heat we’re not used to, plus a lot of newcomers to the starting XI, that’s a lot, and coming back from a 2-1 down is good for the mental level.
We don’t celebrate it as a victory, but it feels good. Having nothing to lose freed us up mentally. I thought we showed solid defensiveness despite the goals conceded. It is played for nothing. We have the ball at 2-0, they have the ball at 3-1. We show that we can compete. Players who discover Ligue 1 can tell themselves that they are in their place.
