Everything Téji Savanier summed up in one match. The attacking midfielder from Montpellier lit up the match against Toulouse opening the 32nd day of Ligue 1, Friday evening, with an absolutely fabulous volley to open the score, before being sent off in the second half for a gesture of humor. This 8th red card since the 2018-2019 season (a record) should cause him to miss the last two days of the championship, depending on the decision of the next disciplinary committee.
At least he can say to himself that he did the job before, because the victory on Toulouse soil (1-2) validated the maintenance of the MHSC. A success in which he will have played his part, therefore, with a masterful goal of which he has the secret. On a cross from Sylla coming from the left, the number 10 of La Paillade sent a volley from the outside of the right foot into the opposite corner of Guillaume Reste. Pure talent, for the greatest pleasure of the eyes. The broadcaster of the meeting does not allow you to put the video here, but you can find it on the networks without straining yourself too much.
After the match, his partners preferred to retain this gesture rather than the more questionable one of the second half. “We know what a great player he is. When I see him shoot from the bench, I tell myself that there is a goal, because he often does that one in training, Khalil Fayad, the other Montpellier scorer of the evening, told The Team. I hope it will be the best goal of the season. »
Same story with his trainer Michel Der Zakarian. “His goal is Téji, talent, I wasn’t capable of doing that. He can score crazy goals, he learned football in the street. » For better and sometimes for worse.
