The TFC faced, this Saturday, July 30, Clermont Foot 63, as part of the preparation of the two teams. Of the two 90-minute matches that were scheduled, the TFC lost: 0-1 and 0-2.
They do not have to flush, because the Violets have achieved a very satisfactory pre-season in terms of results. TFC opposed Clermont twicethis Saturday, July 31, 2022 in Aurillac, and bowed twice. The first friendly meeting between the starting teams ended in a 0-1 (75′, Gastien). The second, between the substitute and youth teams, on a 0-2 (32′, Massolin ; 73′, Chader).
Clermont has therefore removed the possibility for the TFC to end its preseason in invincibility. But the results remain very positive : five wins (Nîmes, Troyes, Pau, Real Sociedad, Montpellier), a no1 (Osasuna), and a failuretherefore, facing the Auvergnats.
The results of the TFC – Clermont meetings
For the first match, Toulouse coach Philippe Montanier has chosen a starting XI which could be the same as the one that will start the Ligue 1 season. Indeed, the TFC will host Nice on August 7 (to find Clermont, you will have to wait until September 4).
Here is the composition of the first meeting: Dupé / Desler, Rouault, Nicolaisen, Sylla (replaced by Diakité at 81′) / Spierings, van den Boomen, Chaibi / Ngoumou, Onaiwu, Ratao.
Rhys Healey, the English striker of TFC and top scorer in Ligue 2 last season, meanwhile marked his return to the lawn. Drowned out of an injury that kept him out of all preseason gamesthis time he had playing time by playing the first half of the second meeting.
