The throwing of firecrackers which interrupted the meeting between Montpellier and Clermont (4-2), this Sunday, generated black anger from the Hérault president.
This Sunday, late in the afternoon, a firecracker thrown in added time interrupted the meeting between Montpellier and Clermont (4-2), counting for the eighth day of Ligue 1. Falling near Mory Diaw, the projectile caused the goalkeeper of the Auvergne team to be evacuated on a stretcher, then the match was definitively interrupted.
In the post-match press conference, Laurent Nicollin did not mask his anger. “I hope the Clermont goalkeeper is doing well. The author of the jet? You bastard. Feeling ? Disgust, disillusionment, sadness. The players were busting their asses. Ubuesque. With assholes like that, we’re not likely to have ambitions.”declared the president of the Montpellier Hérault Sport Club.
❌ MATCH DEFINITELY STOPPED IN MONTPELLIER!
Strong words from the security referent at the Mosson stadium.
