All three had all the same big fish bones, come from off the bay of Lorient or not, to digest. With Troyes and Clermont, we had two failures in the Ligue 2 dams which they could estimate, strong arguments, even rebutted by high authorities, in support, that they were rightfully theirs despite the interruption of last season by the Covid pandemic.
As for Toulouse, we are talking, squarely, about the relegation of an important representative of Ligue 1. It has certainly happened to others but many have taken time, a lot of time, before being able to claim it. ride up. However, while he could have sang to us, for 38 days, the lament of the failures, the trio sang the hymn of the conquerors.
The three clubs with 20 or more wins, three of the four best attacks in Ligue 2
Whether they were installed very early on the summits, whether they experienced a gradual rise in speed, whether they had to erase a difficult restart or not, Troyens, Clermontois and Toulousains will indeed have demonstrated sacred qualities. Translated into three numbers: These are the only three clubs with 20 or more wins, three of L2’s best four attacks and his two best defenses.
At Clermont Foot, examples to be scared on Saturday against Caen?
Qualities, above all, that all three will have succeeded in expressing, not with the handbrake but with their feet on the ground, when the time comes to conclude. We have known too much of these last rounds of the championship where, missteps of some in spoiled opportunities for others, the suspense of the rewards languished in the wind. All three, linked for months, however, did not start what is commonly called the final sprint, at the same time.
Troyes, two defeats then a series of five consecutive victories
For Troyes, it was a question of containing the return of the other two, from his two consecutive defeats, a first in the ESTAC season, in mid-March (1-5 at home in front of Nancy and 3- 1 in Amiens). Collapse?? Behind, on the contrary, the men of Batlles are on a series of 6 successes, including 5 consecutive (and one in Grenoble then still direct opponent) in 7 matches, with to complete the score a draw at Paris FC, another candidate.

Clermont under great pressure after his Covid-19 period
Clermont, “clustered” by the Covid in March, had struggled for its recovery ?: defeat in the 90th in Nancy without being able to kill the match before, no wind in front of Niort and loss in stoppage time in Pau, after having led and had, again, the opportunities to fold the meeting.
Akim Zedadka after the virtual rise of Clermont Foot in Ligue 1: “We do not realize that we are on the verge of doing something crazy”
Under great pressure when it came to catching up with his late match in front of Amiens, since then, he has also continued ?: 5 successes including 4 in a row for a draw, snatched, led and outnumbered in front of Le Havre.
Contaminated Téfécé, its final sprint made complicated
And what about Toulouse, also affected in numbers by the Covid but much later in the season, in mid-April. His career, once back to tough business by a mandatory catch-up schedule leading him to play 5 games in 15 days, commands respect.
Clermont Foot: what to remember from the press conference before the trip to Caen
If he was beaten at the start of this series in Paris, the TFC was able to put an end to Charléty to his incredible alternation of victory-defeat (for a draw) of 10 days since his 1-1 in Troyes in early February to continue two successes (in Le Havre and in front of Caen). But at the end of his period of inactivity linked to the Covid, the 4th meeting on his schedule, against Pau on Wednesday, seemed to be one too many, physically at least …
