Montpellier coach Michel Der Zakarian did not appreciate Thierry Henry’s criticism of the low number of goals scored in Ligue 1 this season. That’s the least we can say… The Espoirs coach mentioned this statistic during a press conference last week.
“Nice is 2nd having scored 13 goals, so does that surprise you?,” he asked before continuing. I hope that these will be the only two weekends with 13 and 12 goals (The total of goals during the 11th then 12th day of Ligue 1). All this happened with Chelsea-Manchester City (4-4), it scores even more. We had Rennes-OL (0-1) and Lens-OM (1-0) (the same day). You just shouldn’t watch Chelsea-Manchester City.”
In an interview this Monday at Free lunch, Michel Der Zakarian therefore responded to the 1998 World Champion. And in a strong way! “I do not agree with Thierry Henry. Where did he train? What did he do in Monaco? It was three months and it cleared. The guy works for the FFF and criticizes French football. This is bullshit! It’s easy to denigrate the championship when you are coach of the France Espoirs team. He won twice 4-0 but against whom? He didn’t beat anyone. If he wins 5-0 against Spain or Italy and I will say well done. »
