After a historic start to the season (7 wins and 2 draws in 9 days), Téfécé prances at the top of Ligue 2. And Philippe Montanier’s players have the opportunity to widen the gap a little more, this Monday September 27 (8:45 p.m. on beIN Sports) with the Caen reception at the Stadium, at the end of the 10th day. Indeed, thanks to the poor performance of their pursuers this weekend (Ajaccio 2-0 defeat in Bastia and 0-0 draw between Sochaux and Auxerre), the Violets have a golden opportunity to take 6 points ahead of the leaderboard.
If Toulouse supporters had reason to be worried after the departures of several executives during the summer transfer window (Adli, Machado, Koné, Amian among others), the first 9 matches of the season have undoubtedly reassured them. A fiery attack (already 20 goals scored), a creative environment and a much stronger defense than last year.
Caen comes “with the firm intention of being the first team to bring down Toulouse”
But beware, any series that stretches, as beautiful as it is, inevitably nears its end. And the coach of the TFC knows it very well. “Caen will come here with the firm intention of being the first team to bring down Toulouse,” Philippe Montanier explained at a pre-match press conference on Saturday afternoon. “They have a good team, young, a lot of injuries so less potential, but real potential.”
The pre-match press conference:
Faced with a team that has not won for 5 matches, Toulouse residents will therefore start favorites. But beware of overconfidence. It will above all be necessary to ensure behind, which was too often lacking at Téfécé last season. “We are in the best defenses”, analyzes Philippe Montanier while remaining cautious. “This defensive solidity must last. It is an essential basis for being efficient”. The coach has spoken. His players know what remains for them to do.
The Toulouse group for TFC-Caen:
Maxime Dupé – Isak Pettersson; Logan Costa – Mikkel Desler – Bafodé Diakité – Moussa Diarra – Rasmus Nicolaisen – Issiaga Sylla; Mamady Bangré – Brecht Dejaegere – Denis Genreau – Sam Sanna – Naatan Skytta – Stijn Spierings – Branco van den Boomen; Rhys Healey – Nathan Ngoumou – Ado Onaiwu
