These records that Toulouse can still aim for in Ligue 2, in addition to the rise
Two years after its relegation to Ligue 2, the TFC has the opportunity to ensure its return to the top flight this Monday evening, against Niort, in the closing match of the 35th day. Beyond accession to Ligue 1, Toulouse can mark this season with a purple stone by chasing a few records.
The best attack, already in the pocket
Philippe Montanier’s training is guaranteed to end this 2021-2022 financial year with the record for the most goals scored in a season since the introduction of the single group of 20 clubs in 1998-1999. With 78 goals on the clock, the TFC has already erased from the shelves the previous record set by Nîmes in 2017-2018 (75 goals).
The TFC must still make the difference … of goals
If they can no longer go for the points (88) and wins (28) records set by David Guion’s Stade de Reims at the end of the 2017-2018 season with the Red and White seal, the Toulousains, who can also post a goal difference of +48 four days before the end of the Championship, still stealing the record for the biggest goal difference from the Champagne club (+50, in 2017-2018).
A dolphin difficult to sow
On the other hand, dispossessing Lille of the record for the biggest gap separating an L2 champion from its runner-up (LOSC had relegated Guingamp to 16 points in 1999-2000) seems complicated. The Toulousains must indeed be full board and count on three defeats of AC Ajaccio (2nd) during the last three days. A gauge because the Ajacciens, whom they will challenge in Corsica on the final day, have been undefeated for seven days.
Van den Boomen, the ace of passes?
Individually, Branco Van den Boomen, who has delivered 19 assists since the start of the season, has Zinedine Ferhat’s record in sight (20 offerings with Le Havre in 2017-2018). If the mission appears within reach of the Dutch midfielder, it will be more difficult for his British teammate Rhys Healey, top scorer in L2 (20 goals), to tease Guillaume Hoarau’s record (28 goals with Le Havre in 2007-2008 ).
