What face will the TFC show on Tuesday (9 p.m.) against RC Lens? Three days after the first victory in the history of the club in the Coupe de France, Toulouse returns to Ligue 1 with the reception of the Sang et Or. The TFC, 13th in the standings, is almost maintained, while Lens, 3rd behind OM and in front of AS Monaco, whip to ensure his place on the podium.
“It bothers us to play so early because it’s not very fair sportingly,” regretted the coach of the Violets, Philippe Montanier, at a press conference on Monday. The implication: his players would have needed 24 extra hours to recover from the euphoria and prepare for the match against Lens. Nantes, beaten in the final of the Coupe de France, will play its late league match on Wednesday (9 p.m.) in Brest.
“We would have preferred to play Wednesday like Nantes, developed Montanier. Monaco and Marseille must be furious.” Toulouse is nine points ahead of Brest, the first to relegate. Lens can come back to within a point of Marseille in the event of a victory on Tuesday, before receiving these same Olympians at Félix-Bollaert on Saturday.
