After impressing Auxerre (6-0 victory at home), they are back!

Saturday 23 October 2021, Toulouse FC, leader of Ligue 2 (with 27 points, one more than his runner-up Sochaux), moves on the lawn of Paris FC (8e) on behalf of the 13e championship day. If the Violets are favorites, coach Montanier is attentive to a possible excess of confidence.

Philippe Montanier is not there “to be social”

Thursday, October 21, at a pre-match press conference, Philippe Montanier indicated “that after a 6-0 victory, a coach is always afraid of the decompression of his team”.

To avoid any slackening on the part of his men, the coach assured that he was not there “to socialize, but to win matches”. He warned that the competition will be stiff this season. “Composer my team is a puzzle, but it’s a good problem,” he slipped.

“The supporters are doing a great job”

If the competition promises to be rough for a starting place, the central hinge Nicolaisen-Diakité should not move against the Parisians. With the Dane and the Pitchoun, Toulouse launched a series of two cleansheets in the league.

Scorer against Auxerre, Rasmus Nicolaisen feasts under the purple tunic. Carried by the encouragement of the supporters, he wants to satisfy them at the end of the season by obtaining a place in Ligue 1. “Football is not interesting without them. Here, they do a great job and I hope we will succeed in rewarding at the end of the season, reaching our goal ”.

Spierings and Dejaegere back

Against Paris FC, Philippe Montanier will be able to count on almost all of his group. Nevertheless, injured in the foot for several weeks, Antoine Rouault will not be in the game. This is also the case for the young Naatan Skyttä, not called for this trip.

On the other hand, the former coach of Real Sociedad will be able to count on two returns of weight for this trip to the capital: Stijn Spierings and Brecht Dejaegere. The two circles are no longer suspended. Good news before facing a team that has not won for three meetings.
