Montpellier coach Michel Der Zakarian displayed cold anger on Sunday after the defeat at La Mosson in front of Brest (1-3) which he described as his team’s “worst match” this season. “We are disappointed to have lost, we are disappointed with the performance we provided. It’s the worst match we’ve had since the start of the season. We had a terrible first half,” he complained at the end of this 13th day of Ligue 1.
“We were bad technically. We were bad on defense. We chased the ball. We spent twenty minutes where we pushed Brest a little. Akor (Adams, editor’s note) has the lead for the second goal on a serve from Téji (Savanier, editor’s note). The second goal (from Brest) is incredible. It’s hard to win a match when you concede a goal like that. You have to want to defend,” continued the Hérault coach. “We all got through it, myself included. I didn’t put the right players on the field. It happens to everyone to miss a match. We simply weren’t good,” concluded Der Zakarian, renowned for never mincing his words. From Wednesday at La Mosson, in a late match against Clermont, Montpellier will have to react quickly or risk experiencing a complicated season.
