Second consecutive victory for the Toulousains, this Saturday February 12 on the lawn of Valenciennes FC, with two “helmet shots” signed Rouault (3-1). Result of the races and accounts: Toulouse FC secures its place as leader, still ahead of Paris FC, also winners, and the new third Sochaux, while AC Ajaccio, which lost at home to Guingamp, loose ballast.
The Indian sign is defeated. Doubly. First, we insisted enough before the match: it had been exactly 4 months and 21 days since the Violets had recorded two wins in a row. Mission accomplished – “it wasn’t that simple, Valenciennes really bothered us” according to the Téféciste trainer, contract fulfilled – “on a quickly difficult (fat) ground”; signed roadmap for the first time since the 8e and 9e games and two 4-1 victories against Grenoble on September 18, then, three days later, 2-0 at Dunkirk.
Montanier: “I tightened my buttocks…”
The North, definitely… “Yes, my adopted region smiles on us”, continues Philippe Montanier who, little secretive or big superstitious, will admit afterwards: “I’ll give you a scoop, I had never won here – that either at the head of Rennes in L1 or with Lens in L2. I had even always lost. I had not told you on purpose, I was clenching my buttocks! Hainaut is difficult to take. That is why it is it’s a real satisfaction to win this afternoon.”
Start a series again and break the curse: the double. CQFD. Pair (and win, therefore), this will also be the common thread of the proteges of the former coach of Real Sociedad throughout this Saturday to sympathize with the goalkeepers: 2°C felt at kick-off, breeze… refreshing Above !
Serving, van den Boomen; at the reception, Anthony Rouault. If we dare, the restaurant-hotel as at home delighted by… twice (1-0, 10th; 3-1, 83rd). Two copy-paste. Come on, to give the change, there was a free kick then a corner; a first post then a penalty spot targeted – that’s the term. These famous areas where you have to be. “We are efficient on static phases, analyzes the author of the double. In training, moments are dedicated to working on them. Between us who attack the ball and Branco who puts the ball where he wants… as long as we can well launched, it hits the bull’s eye!” “They have affinities, a real complicity, completes Montanier. We use it.”
Incidentally, the Clockwork Orange has 15 “dice” passes in 23 games. If we calculate, we arrive by rounding up to the unit above the indecent figure of 25 caviars. We are not there, of course, still far the same of the record since the 2008-2009 financial year and its referencing by Ligue 2 [le Havrais Ferhat, 20 en 2017-18]. Nevertheless, the Dutch midfielder from Data is already panicking the counters!
Ratao, that other blaster
If not, what happened between the first realization and the closure of the brand?
A recital from Ratao: dribble in pigeon wing (after… 16 seconds), opening outside of the right for Onaiwu and, in fine, shot from Desler and parade from Chevalier (25), breakthrough on a half of the field (42). A goal of course (1-2, 54th): his 7e in Ligue 2, he joined Ado. “Oriented controls and forward play, everything I like about Rafael” punctuates his coach.
Pell-mell, we were going to forget: two posts – definitely, this rule of 2 – from the same Nathan Ngoumou (from the left, 34e ; law, 76e).
In short: to prepare for the reception of Le Havre (Monday in 8), in the absence of hell in the North, Téfécé has rather arranged a “golden” week.

The description of the goals
10e : right-angle free kick from the penalty area taken by Branco van den Boomen; the Dutch artificer deposits in the 5m50 the leather on the skull of Anthony Rouault, in the duel with Cuffaut, who catapults left skylight of Lucas Chevalier (0-1).
54e : magnificent sequence on the right flank with Genreau who crosses for Ngoumou who, at the entrance of the 16m50, slips to Mikkel Desler whose withdrawal finds the flat of the right foot of Rafael Ratao: small-net winning first post (0-2).
57e : corner from the right to the left shot by Noah Diliberto and pretty uncrossed header from Ugo Bonnet – quicker than the defenders of Téfécistes (1-2).
83e : another decisive corner, this time on the visitors’ side, with VdB in charge and the (second) victorious helmet shot from Rouault, who gets the better of Kaba (1-3).
