Football / ASSE. Without revolt, the Greens sink to Mosson

However, it is not for lack of seeing Claude Puel repeat throughout the post-match press conference that his players were not killers enough.

It is the evil of the moment on the side of Saint-Etienne and he still greatly penalized them under the prickly sun of the Mosson this Sunday. Mahdi Camara had the ball to open the scoring on an express three-on-two counter, alone against Bertaud, but he took off the flat of his foot too much, no doubt served a bit late by Nordin while Hamouma was waiting the offering (19th).

The Greens will not get over it. Worse, following a superb horizontal from the Montpellier goalkeeper on an attempt by Hamouma (30th), the only shot on target on the ten strikes from the visitors in the first period, the Héraultais are not praying to punish their opponent. On an outdoor delight from Savanier’s foot, which the Forézien midfielder also struggled to contain, Mavididi fixed Maçon before finding the small opposite net from Green (32nd).

Ignacio Ramirez was recruited to address this efficiency issue. Entering the hour mark, he had hardly any balls to exploit, and he must already be wondering what he came to do in this galley.

The supporters gave their voice

Unlike Valère Germain, the MHSC rookie, who did not miss the perfect cross from Mavididi, who quickly dropped Nokoue pus Moukoudi. But if we can rightly point the finger at the lack of realism of the attackers, there is nothing that worked during this afternoon to forget, with the exception of a convincing start to the meeting, spoiled by too many missed opportunities.

The only ones up to 90 minutes were the 300 green supporters allowed to travel, who made more noise than the 10,000 spectators of the Mosson. The defense exploded with each acceleration in Montpellier, and the midfielder Camara-Neyou never weighed.

Claude Puel, who asked to wait for the 10th game to make a first assessment, can still start to worry now, while his team has still not won a single match in five days.

Beyond 17th place in the standings, it is the lack of revolt of its players, resigned from the opening of the scoring, which raise questions. The reception in Bordeaux next Saturday is already shaping up to be capital.
