This isn’t the case, though as tempting as it sounds. Also, I haven’t found it isn’t too hard to perform in Ligue 1 with Montpellier because the team balance is amazing, the squad is young and looking to develop and the players are great.

February: Short and Sharp 2012

Home Games: Ajaccio, Brestois, Bordeaux

Results:
Ajaccio crushed by Montpellier

View attachment 207048
Ajaccio were comprehensively beaten 3-0 by a clinical Montpollier side. A marvelous goal from Karim Ait Fana gave Montpollier the perfect start on 4 minutes. Dzodic nodded home from Kenia's corner to double the lead on 27 minutes. Giroud finished the scoring 35 minutes in with a flick on from Belhanda's smart cross. That’s the way it stayed, and Montpollier could have scored more, but Ochoa was brilliant in goal.

Montpellier needed only a draw to clinch the Ligue 1 title for the first time, and Pope didn’t disappoint. No goals in the game, but made supporters happy with their first ever title.

Thanks for reading this mammoth update

 

[Numancia]

Please tell us your tactics!!! and trainings lol. Who was your best performer and your favourite??? Congrats for winning title by the way

 

[Rangers26]

Nice title win, Wasn't expecting that when I first started reading but very well done.

 

[bambam.cam]

tactics are simple and attacking, 4 at the back (wingbacks, stopper and cover), 2 central mids (ball winning mid and b2b mid) 1 attacking mid (inside forward), 2 wingers (winger attck) and giroud at target man. Fluid, high-line, no offside trap, man marking, hard tackling etc.
I dont know what happens but i change match preperation every week. So 1 week i'll use defensive positioning, next week might be teamwork and rotating around like that.

Best performer Giroud: Always solid and pops up with key goals.
Favourite: Levan Kenia or Ait Fana, my mini pocket rockets who are always on the ball and creating chances.

Transfers up soon
thanks

PS: I havent changed my trainings, might have to do that before next season lol

 

[Rangers26]

You going to carry onto next season as well? Your in Champions League are you not so would love to see how you got on.

Also, I started a game with Vitesse in the Netherlands earlier and got Ait Fana, brilliant player.

thanks, ive been a bit backed up :/

 

[plamen_ol]

I've just finished my first season with Montpellier and came up second behind Lille. My Giroud is a total woodman. He hasn't scored a single one-on-one goal and most of his efforts end as goalkicks.(Thank God i have Koita who is an amazing target man) And if he has the opportunity to pass the ball (4 of mine against 2 of the others) he would just shoot no matter of his position.(Same as Belhanda). Any advise you can give mate cause I am already thinking of selling the guy.

 

[bambam.cam]

play him with a quick striker, keep praising the lad, the goals will come. I play him as target man when i play 2 strikers and as poacher when he leads the line by himself. Also put his schedule on composure to improve those one on ones.
