After seeing Montpellier lost 1-0 at home to Olympique de Marseille, the club president has launched a scathing attack on the players but has added that his side will still be called champions of France throughout the season
The burden of being the champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 is indeed a heavy one for Montpellier Herault SC. After doing so well to lift the Championelle last season, La Paillade have struggled to replicate their last season’s achievements this time around.
With three weeks of the 2012/2013 Championnat over, Montpellier languish near the relegation zone and await their first win of the campaign. This is certainly a complicated affair for a club that played some of the best football last season.
The departure of Olivier Giroud and rumours linking Montpellier players with a move away from the Mosson are also having a bad effect on the side’s performances. Ahead of the game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127,
club president, Louis Nicollin delivered another famous rant. This time, it was aimed at his players.
And, it seemed that Nicollin’s words were not completely understood by the players as Marseille left Mosson with three points last night. Andre-Pierre Gignac scored the only goal of the game and throughout the match, Montpellier rarely seemed to adjust
to their own surroundings.
And, the performance of his team has left the president visibly frustrated. After seeing his team dispose-off teams so effectively and consistently last season, Nicollin cannot fathom what has gone wrong for his side.
While talking to the media following his team’s third consecutive dismal display, the eccentric president said a lot of things that may have repercussions.
“I do not feel like going to see my players in the locker room. But it does not matter, as I said this morning, we will be champions throughout the year. Herrera will score goals, we need guys who can provide him with services. I think some should pack their
bags quickly.”
The president is really angry at what he has seen so far and has issued an ultimatum for those players to leave if they don’t have their heart in it any more.
