Even if Christophe Galtier swore on Friday that Andy Delort did not feel any emotion, we can imagine that it is not a match completely like the others for the former striker of the Paillade. For three seasons he carried the Montpellier colors high (106 games – 47 goals) before pushing forward this summer to join the Côte d’Azur. A transfer which is still not digested in the Hérault and his former teammate Jordan Ferri has acknowledged “disappointment“this week at a press conference. Only 11th in the standings, the Hérault residents are struggling to digest the departure of their striker, added to that of Gaëtan Laborde and trainer Michel Der Zakarian.
Hanging Savannah
Olivier Dall Oglio advocates a more offensive game than his predecessor and the effects are starting to be felt. The quite happy victory against Nantes (2-0) last weekend once again highlighted the essential role of Téji Savanier, at the origin of the opening scoring against the Canaries. Problem for the MHSC, the new captain is suspended for this match. But two former Aiglons are well on the trip.
Germain whistled?
Defender Arnaud Souquet who has only started five times this season. And striker Valère Germain, who seemed to regain color after his Marseille experience with three goals at the start of the season. But the former striker Claude Puel in Nice has not scored for five meetings. And he may have ears that whistle this Sunday. After the incidents against OM, Germain felt that the Gym had not been sufficiently sanctioned. A media outlet that the Nice supporters cannot forgive.
Without Boudaoui. With Dolberg
On the Nice side, we will have to do without Hicham Boudaoui. On the other hand Kasper Dolberg is back, like Calvin Stengs, summoned to the group despite a lack of rhythm after his hamstring injury. Those who are back are also the supporters of the Populaire Sud. TOfter four suspension matches, the grandstand reopens its doors and will refuel for this match against Montpellier.
