17:45 – Dall’Oglio talks about Laborde and the France team
MHSC coach Olivier Dall’Oglio only had Gaëtan Laborde under his command for a few weeks last summer before the striker left Montpellier for Stade Rennais at the end of the transfer window. But the French striker left a good impression on the former Brest coach, who even mentioned, at a press conference, the possibility of the Rennes striker being called up to the France team: “When you have a boy who scores like that, I necessarily think that the coach is looking at it. It’s reasonable to think about it. Even if in the France team, there are still big players who play in big clubs. But the fact that Rennes has grown and is of European level puts it in a better position.”
5:00 p.m. – Montpellier-Omlin: “Important to monitor Laborde”
Moving from Montpellier to Rennes during the last summer transfer window, Gaëtan Laborde has already scored this season in the Rennes jersey twice against Bordeaux, his training club, and once against Brest, where he was loaned out in 2014/2015. Montpellier therefore remains the only one of its former clubs still to be unscathed. Jonas Omlin, the Montpellier goalkeeper and former team-mate, knows that he will have to be wary of him: “He was already dangerous last season, he is now against us. It’s not a good thing for us, he said. – he confessed on the Ligue 1 website. He can strike left foot, right foot (…) It will be important to watch him well.
