Did Toulouse find the early season schedule too challenging? TFC: “We realized that it wouldn’t be easy…”

l’essentielAfter playing five out of seven matches away, TFC returns to the Stadium this Sunday to host Metz in Ligue 1 (3 PM). Coach Carles Martinez hopes for a more favorable period.

Was the start of the season too challenging for TFC? Currently 15th (6 pts) after 6 matchdays, Toulouse certainly did not have an easy schedule. This is what coach Carles Martinez Novell, who is in his first season on the Toulouse bench, has claimed: “When we saw the schedule, we realized that the start of the season would not be easy. But that’s how it is. We played five away games out of seven, and one at home against PSG. Everyone can understand that it’s difficult.”

Since the start of the championship, TFC has traveled to Nantes (win 2-1), Strasbourg (loss 2-0), Marseille (0-0), and Lens (loss 2-1), and has hosted PSG (1-1) and Clermont (2-2). These are three European teams and title contenders, although neither PSG, Lens, nor Marseille were in their best form when facing Tef.

However, after experiencing a week with three away matches (Marseille, Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League, Lens), the Toulouse team will now face a series of matches that appear to be more manageable on paper: hosting Metz this Sunday (3pm), Lask in the European Cup on Thursday, followed by a trip to Brest on October 8th, and hosting Reims on the 22nd before traveling to Liverpool for the European Cup.
