Montpellier head coach Michel Ter-Zakarian is currently the number one candidate for the first resignation of the season. Apart from a hard win over Auxerre, the team looks very weak in all matches. The team’s defense is just in a terrible shape. Montpellier is already surpassed St. Etienne in the number of goals conceded, and this is considering that they recently lost to Nice with a score of 0:8.
In the opening rounds of Ligue 1 Marseille gave out very bright matches, in which the team showed great skill and will to win. In the accuracy of passes the club is second only to PSG. In addition, only Brest players allow even fewer ball losses than Roberto de Dzerby’s wards. Marseille is one of the best teams in the championship in terms of efficiency of getting out from under pressure. All these qualities help the team to control the game, reduce the number of attacks of the opponent, as well as at the right time to add in the activity.
