The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Morocco-c2961 international is far from pleased following the French champions’ defeat to Stade de Reims on Friday, their third of the season
The reigning champions are off to a worst possible start in the 2012/2013 Ligue 1 campaign, and have collected only four points after five games.
With La Paillade set to face Arsenal in their maiden Champions League campaign on Tuesday, club’s star player, Younes Belhanda, has expressed his disappointment at Montpellier’s slow start to the season.
While talking to reporters, the 22-year-old stated that the situation is really alarming and MHSC need to find the winning formula as early as possible.
Talking about Montpellier’s encounter against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, Belhanda said that if they play like that against the Gunners, they are in for a heavy beating.
“If we play like that against Arsenal, we'll concede eight goals,” the Moroccan told reporters.
Montpellier’s coach, Rene Girard is also disappointed with his side’s terrible start to the season. The 58-year-old said that the situation is very disappointing for him and luck is not with them at the moment.
"We did everything to win the game. I am very disappointed and what is happening at the moment is a bit depressing,”
Talking about La Paillade’s defeat against Reims, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international said that first half was much better for his side but they couldn’t convert the chances at crucial moments. The coach has asked his players to start playing to their potential
if they want to succeed in the Champions League.
“We did quite well in the first half and we need to waken up quickly because, if not, we are going to be in for a big fall on Tuesday.
Girard added that Montpellier’s defence has been a cause of concern for him this season. La Paillade played woefully on Friday and coach is ashamed of that.
“We are conceding silly goals. It is quite worrying. This is the first evening where I have had to ask myself some serious questions and we should be ashamed of ourselves tonight.”
