This beginning of the year 2023 has something to reassure the supporters of the Toulouse Football Club. The latter had ended 2022 with a memorable spanking at the Vélodrome stadium in Marseilles (Bouches du Rhône), 6-1, against one of the leaders of this Ligue 1 season.
Three consecutive wins
But since then, Philippe Montanier’s players have set the record straight. At stake: a series of three consecutive victories against Ajaccio (2-0), in Lannion in the Coupe de France (7-1) and in Auxerre (5-0) in League 1.
The six points garnered on a direct impact on the standings in the face of the stagnation of the other teams in the fight for maintenance. Currently, the TFC is designated at the 12e place with eight points ahead of the first relegation, Brest. The Finisterians are precisely the next opponent of Van den Boomen’s partners.
“Matches are played on details”
Now coached by the former Niçois Eric Roy, the Brestois evolve on alternating current but it will be necessary to be wary of a formation which aligns some good elements like Mounié, Honorat, Lees-Melou, Pereira Lage… “The players are aware of the difficulty but also believe in their quality. We are suspicious because the matches are played on details ”, commented in the week Philippe Montanier.
The championship for maintenance continues
After Brest, the championship at the bottom of the table will continue for the TFC with a trip to Strasbourg and the reception of Troyes before a 4-star trip to the Parc des Princes to face the PSG of the Messi-Mbappé-Neymar trio.
Against Brest, the public will respond. The Taton stand will still be packed and we could exceed the bar of 20,000 spectators. The level of play displayed at the start of 2023 is likely to maintain the momentum.
