- After its 18th defeat in 25 days of Ligue 1, Saturday night against Nice (0-2), the TFC sinks into the rankings. The red lantern is 13 points behind Dijon, the roadblocker.
- Reduced to nine, the Violets missed a penalty before conceding the second goal.
Writing history over and over again ... This seems to be the fate of the TFC cuvée 2019-2020. Beaten on Saturday night by Nice at the Stadium (0-2), the Violets, who finished nine against eleven, stretched their series of games without a win to fifteen: fourteen defeats and a draw. The "performance" achieved between December 1993 and April 1994 (nine losses and five draws) is beaten.
After this seventh row loss at home (another "improved" record in Ligue 1), the TFC consolidates its red lantern, 13 points behind Dijon, barragiste, and 14 on the resuscitated Nîmes (four successes in a row), first not relegated.

And if not, the match? Well, a new nightmare for the last supporters of a failed team, which saw defenders Ruben Gabrielsen (27th) then Steven Moreira (78th) give up their teammates in turn: the Norwegian for having retained Kasper Dolberg who started alone on goal, the former Lorientais for a kick in the hip of Adam Ounas, after resorting to VAR. "I am sorry for the players, we do not see even a little light," slides coach Denis Zanko with a wry smile. I don't know if it can happen to us much worse. "
The distress of Leya Iseka
Faced with Nice yet weak Nice, especially after the break, the Toulouse took a goal eleven against eleven (Lees-Melou, 12th) then nine against eleven (Hérelle, 90th + 4). Aaron Leya Iseka, who left the field in tears, had just seen the equalization penalty (obtained by captain Max-Alain Gradel, back after two months of absence) returned by the Riviera goalkeeper Walter Benitez (90th + 1). To believe that the Stadium was built on an old Visigoth cemetery.
"It is nothing, football is really very, very cruel," says Zanko, already shaken by the backhand not necessarily deserved a week earlier in Marseille (1-0).
Still 13 games to play…
Since the appointment in early January of the third technician this season, after Alain Casanova and Antoine Kombouaré, the TFC is more like a team. But he continues to chain disappointments at a rate as hallucinating as the clumsiness of his attackers. There are still 13 games left before the most likely downhill in Ligue 2, more frequented by the Violets since 2002-2003. It's long, very long ...
