For the 19th day of the women’s D1, the women of Montpellier travel to Paris FC this Friday with the aim of not being left behind.
An important but not decisive meeting. This is how we can summarize the match between Paris FC and MHSC, which took place just before the international break and the real final sprint.
The women of Montpellier will have to show a different face than the one shown against the other club of the capital, Paris Saint-Germain, last Sunday (1-3). “I didn’t need the content. The plans were to contain more PSG. We lacked aggression and ambition. The plan was not to suffer so much”according to his coach, Yannick Chandioux.
The latter had chosen a defense of five men and also aligned Morché in goals. An option that did not bear fruit with a goal conceded at the beginning of the match after an error by Morché, who was feverish and conceded a corner. “I have two good goalkeepers who have not always been perfect throughout the season. The start of Cosette Morché’s match against Paris is a fiasco”reports the coach of Montpellier.
The MHSC defense will have to be more solid to secure a result in the capital, four or five behind.
A three-way tie for fourth place
For its part, Paris FC was defeated in Fleury (2-1) and will want to react to definitely ensure its place on the podium. “PFC remains a very good team. They come out of a defeat, they will be avenged. The team has conceded more goals recently than in the first leg.”
But to score, the MHSC will have to realize their chances and be even more realistic on an artificial turf. Because yes exceptional, the meeting will take place at the Jean-Bouin stadium because “Charléty’s lawn still does not meet the high-level criteria”according to the Ile-de-France club.
Despite last Sunday’s clash, the Pailladines still have their destiny in their hands to secure fourth place, as long as they take the points before the surely decisive last championship clash in Fleury (the 5th égalité). “It’s as if we start the season tomorrow tied with Fleury and one point behind Reims”Chandioux estimates.
Two other teams with which the MHSC will be neck and neck until the last day. “He could reach the average of the particular goal, it shows that the championship is close”judges the Hérault coach before concluding: “If today we are not fourth, it is because we do not deserve it. We have to take this chance.”
