The Frenchman is pleased with the way Montpellier played against the Bundesliga outfit on Wednesday to earn a valuable point away from home
The reigning French champions came from behind to nick a draw against Die Knappen, in their second group game of the Champions League.
Garry Bocaly was shown a straight red card for challenging a Schalke player in the box, giving away a penalty in the end. However, the 24-year-old feels that the decision to send him off was a bit harsh and the referee got it wrong.
The full-back added that he let his teammates down with that mistake, but praised Montpellier for getting a positive result in the end.
“As I was coming off, I felt like I was abandoning my mates. It was a penalty, but the red card decision was a little bit harsh,” the defender told reporters.
Talking about his side’s performance at Veltins-Arena, the former Marseille player stated that a draw in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 is a very good result for La Paillade, keeping in mind that the Ligue 1 outfit is appearing in their first ever Champions League competition.
Bocaly said that Montpellier deserve credit for playing with a man less against a quality team like Schalke, and had it not been for his dismissal, things would have been different.
“A draw away from home is always good, especially as we played with a man less for almost the entire second half.”
The right-back said that La Paillade’s impressive performance in the Champions League has helped players regain their confidence, and they need to keep playing like this.
"It is a bonus to take a point here, now we need to build on it. We have to emphasise the spirit shown by the team.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Garry-Bocaly-c14429 said that the players are calm and relaxed, and are focusing on their upcoming matches in the league.
“Now we are going to sleep well and prepare for the next match again Rennes on Saturday.”
Montpellier Herault are set to face Stade Rennais at Stade de la Mosson on Saturday, in their next game of the 2012/2013 Ligue 1 campaign.
