Montpellier welcomes Nantes for the 31st day of Ligue 1, this Friday (9 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Hérault club.
It is a poster that leaves no one indifferent in the MHSC environment. Especially not Michel Der Zakarian. Former coach of Nantes, the current coach of Montpellier has bitter memories of his various stints on the Canaries bench. Experiences weighed down by his stormy relations with owner Waldermar Kita.
In this context, some sources have even claimed that Der Zakarian would be inclined to triple the bonuses of its players in the event of success against the FCN. “It’s nonsense, it’s not Der Zakarian who decides the match bonuses, it’s the president, swept away the main interested party. If he wants to overtake, it’s President Nicollin who pays, it’s not me who decides. Your colleague, he should know things well before speaking. He (the journalist) is completely wrong, or someone in the locker room spoke to this gentleman and he misunderstood Laurent Nicollin’s words.
Der Zakarian makes a strong decision
Still, Michel Der Zakarian’s choices will be scrutinized for this match. The Montpellier coach did not hesitate to make strong choices by not retaining Wahbi Khazri, Falaye Sacko, Théo Sainte-Luce and Sacha Delaye in his group.
Montpellier will, however, be able to count on the return of Jordan Ferri, who could start in midfield. Adams is expected at the forefront of a 4-2-3-1 where Nordin, Savanier and Tamari should have an important role in the offensive animation. Lecomte will hold his place in the goals.
The expected composition for Montpellier: Lecomte – Hefti, Kouyate, Sagnan, Sylla – Ferri, Chotard – Nordin, Savanier, Tamari – Adams.
