“When you earn 210,000 euros per month, it’s okay…” While he was going to take a corner against Puy-en-Velay, Saturday in 32e final of the Coupe de France, Téji Savanier sharply responded to an opposing supporter who was annoying him by reminding him of Montpellier’s last place in Ligue 1. A response which was not to the taste of its leaders, especially after the debacle suffered by the MHSC against this National 2 team (0-4).
“Like the team, I am going through a complicated period”
In a press release published Monday on its X account (formerly Twitter), the Hérault club made its dissatisfaction known:
“Following the comments made by Téji Savanier, the Montpellier Hérault Sport Club would like to clarify that it does not endorse these words, which reflect neither the values of the club nor those of its captain. » The 33-year-old midfielder made his mea culpa to try to put out the fire.
“I would like to apologize for the comments I made, which went beyond my thoughts, says the man who has only 1 goal in 13 league matches. I sincerely regret this direct reaction. Like the team, I am going through a complicated period, but that does not justify my words. I am fully committed to defending this jersey and I will continue to fight with my teammates to rectify the situation. We won’t give up. »
