Ligue 1: Olivier Dall'Oglio, already a good job in Montpellier

2021-11-27T12:59:26.202Z


Successor of Michel Der Zakarian, the technician has imposed himself in flexibility and is gradually making his mark on the Hérault bench, which hopes to confirm his encouraging start to the season ahead of Lyon on Sunday (5:00 p.m.).


New style of play, confidence offered to young people, emergence of new leaders and stabilized defense, Olivier Dall'Oglio, the former coach of Dijon (2012-2018) and Brest (2019-2021), assumes the legacy of Der Zakarian ( 2017-2021) and applies his method with tact despite a hectic transfer window, marked by the late transfer of captain Andy Delort to Nice. The technician (57 years old), originally from Alès, began a new cycle with a deep renewal of the executives, because of the departure of his two scorers Delort and Gaëtan Laborde (Rennes), and by the recomposition of the central defense, following retired Brazilian veteran Vitorino Hilton (43). "

The new leaders quickly took their responsibilities to occupy the space left free after several departures

», Points out Dall'Oglio, who entrusted the armband to Téji Savanier, child of the Cité Gély, popular district of Montpellier.

He also drew a backbone around the experienced Jordan Ferri or Mamadou Sakho, back in France after an eight-year exile in England.

Stabilized defense

Adept at a possession game, turned towards the attack, the new technician very quickly reshaped the midfielder by replacing Savanier as leader, alongside Ferri and the young international Espoirs Joris Chotard. Author of three goals and four assists, the new number 10, suspended Sunday against Lyon, impels a collective mastery, still perfectible. At the same time, Dall'Oglio got down to his main task, namely to stabilize a too porous defense last season (62 goals conceded). Sakho, who made up for his physical delay, and the young Maxime Estève (19), revelation of this start of the season, formed during the last six matches a reliable and reassured hinge the Swiss international Jonas Omlin, goalkeeper sometimes criticized l last year. "

Until then, we were taking too many goals. We are starting to have greater stability, especially in the axis. When the central axis, where I include the goalkeeper, releases a lot of energy, it passes it on to the whole team

”, assures the technician.

Before the defeat in Rennes last weekend (2-0), Montpellier remained on three "

clean sheets

" (no goal conceded) in four days. A new stability, likely to compensate for the lack of weight of the attack. Deprived of its Laborde-Delort tandem (31 goals last year), Montpellier has diluted its strike force and awaits the emergence of a new scorer. The experienced Valère Germain, who arrived from Marseille at the end of the transfer window, and the Englishman Stephy Mavididi are slow to fully win. “

I expect better offensively, especially against Lyon. We have the capacity to do better in the use of the ball,

”says Dall'Oglio. He knows that his team must also progress far from La Mosson,where it remains on six consecutive matches without defeat before receiving Lyon on Sunday.
