At MHB, a left-back chases the other. Swedish international Karl Wallinius is leaving for Kiel, Denmark’s Andreas Holst Jensen is arriving from Allborg. Winning bet?
One month before the start of the Starligue, on September 8 in Istres, the MHB is still active behind the scenes in order to draw the outlines of a team marked by renewal.
Thus, as announced weeks ago by Midi Libre, the Montpellier club formalized this Friday morning the recruitment of the Danish international left-back, Andreas Holst Jensen (27 years old, 2.02 m, 104 kg), from ‘Alborg.
The Wallinius Disappointment
An arrival that compensates – at least numerically – for the departure of his alter ego Karl Wallinius for Kiel, who bought out his last two years of contract.
Wallinius repeatedly expressed his desire to leave. But I prefer to have a player who brings all his enthusiasm and energy like Andreas
Recruited a year ago, Wallinius will only have made an express return trip to Hérault. A disappointment in view of his potential, one of the best triggers of the team, while the MHB had high hopes on him. “It’s true, we had bet on him but he has shown his desire to leave several times. But I prefer to have a player who brings all his enthusiasm and energy like Andreas”, justified the president Julien Deljarry.
The club’s fifth recruit
According to the leaders’ press release, this crossover to a position where the Argentinian Diego Simone stands out as the indisputable holder, was recorded in the wake of the internship at Les Carroz d’Arrache, during which Andreas Holst Jensen was tested .
Above all, it testifies, in the year of the club’s forties, to a desire for renewal with regard to the arrivals of Karl Konan (left rear), Giorgi Tskhovrebadze (winger), Rémi Desbonnet (goalkeeper) and star Stas Skube (half- center). Winning bets? “On paper, yes, largely. We take more risks with Holst Jensen but we were seduced by his technical skills”, commented Julien Deljarry.
