The Frenchman was pleased with his team’s performance against OGC Nice and feels confident that la Paillade can go all the way in Coupe de la Ligue
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Montpellier-HSC-c39945 have found themselves in the semi-finals of the Coupe de la Ligue against all odds, and the team is committed to lift the league cup following an impressive display of football against their opponents, OGC Nice.
Rene Girard was proud of his boys following their victory in the quarter-finals of the knock-out competition and believes that the confidence of the players is rejuvenated after the win. The tactician has faith that they can win the cup this season.
Upon expressing his delight, the former Nimes player said:
“It was still a great game for my boys. This was a nice evening.”
The manager acknowledged their disappointing start to the season, but insists that the team has been able to find the lost confidence following their back-to-back wins against Girondins de Bordeaux and OGC Nice. He explained:
“We were a bit doubtful after a complicated start to the season but our last five or six games have been very interesting.”
It was a nail-biting game at the Stade de la Mosson between the two French clubs, who were determined to get through to the semi-finals at the expense of one another. But at the end, it was Girard’s men, who progressed on to the next round.
The game’s first goal came after 22 minutes when Alexy Bosetti scored for Nice. But the French champions managed to strike back through goals scored by Remy Cabella (30th minute) and Emanuel Herrera (52nd minute). The lead, however,
was short lived for MHSC as Eric Bautheac scored the equalizer for les Aiglons, as the game passed the hour mark.
