A real shipwreck. Facing Stade Rennais this Sunday, Montpellier drank the cup (0-5) and saw its European ambitions showered by the Bretons, who at the same time consolidated their place on the podium. "We simply didn't exist," said Michel Der Zakarian bitterly after the meeting. "Rennes gave us a lesson in football, we defended badly when we did not have the ball and we used it very badly when we had it," he said.

From the half hour mark, the meeting seemed indeed already on the wrong track for the Montpellier team, led 2-0 on goals by Maouassa and Hunou. But with a little luck, they could have returned to the game, Laborde and Delort both touching the amounts of Edouard Mendy.
As on the outward journey, Montpellier touches the amounts of the Stade Rennais this Sunday by Laborde (23 ') and Delort (36'). #SRFCMHSC
❌ 8 opposing amounts this season: Cavani (PSG), Chafik (DFCO), Chouiar (DFCO), Dolly (MHSC), Fulgini (SCO), Kehrer (PSG), Laborde (MHSC), Delort (MHSC)
"There is this lack of success in the first half," regretted Michel Der Zakarian. But what about the second? For 45 minutes, the Montpellier have completely lost the pedals, leaving their opponents to stick three others, including two from the penalty spot. "And we could have taken more," said the Montpellier coach. In this match, we are light years away from Rennes in the race for Europe. But there are still 10 games and 30 points to win. ”
Only one away win since the start of the season
With this manita received in Brittany, Montpellier has in any case confirmed that he does not know how to travel. Far from the Mosson, the team has won only once in the league since the start of the season. A persistent evil for which Michel Der Zakarian admits to having "no answer". "We don't put the ingredients we need outside, it's totally different from what we offer at home and it continues," he said.
We would also have liked to question the Hérault players on these difficulties encountered outside, but they fled without a word for the press. It will however be necessary to recover quickly from this correction since it is Marseille, another big piece, which is expected from Saturday at the Mosson.
