Toulouse in decline
Largely in the lead at the end of September, the Toulousains have not been able to string together the victories since.
After winning 7 of their first 9 league games, Téfécé has won only 2 times in their last 8 games for 4 draws and 2 losses. And a week ago, he lost (2-1), in Niort, which had not happened to him since September 27, during the reception of Caen (2-3). “We got off to a very strong start to the season, or for 8 matches, we’ve been less welladmits Toulouse goalkeeper Maxime Dupé. The most important thing is to be aware. We talked a lot this week. Maybe this second setback will help us get back to the front and sign two wins by the break.“
Winning tonight already for her team to regain her place as leader of the championship, she who was dispossessed for the first time in many weeks, after Ajaccio’s victory (0-1) in Le Havre on Saturday. Two points behind the Corsicans and a mattress reduced to a pocket square on the other competitors on the rise since Auxerre and Paris FC have the same number of points, while Sochaux is only one behind before the kick off of the Occitan derby this evening. Bad dynamics and pressure that will foil Toulouse? Not according to Rodez coach Laurent Peyrelade: “It’s going to start strong. They are a very good team, although they may not be as good at the moment. This does not prevent him from being on top in the game.“
Stronger defense
And to have the best attack (37 goals), the best director (12) and passer (9) in the division with the English striker Rhys Healey, author of a quadruple against Sochaux on November 20, and the Dutch midfielder Branco van den Boomen. The latter will also make his return from suspension upon reception of the Raf. But it’s more complicated for the Haut-Garonnais, who have just conceded seven goals in five games. “I am pissed, breathed Maxime Dupé. At the moment, I don’t have the level that I displayed at the start of the season.“To the Ruthenians to take advantage of it.
