Match

Pedro Godoy leads the rout of US Creteil

5‑0, and Pedro Godoy took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Tours tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Squad

Pedro Godoy takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Squad

A fracture rules Rémi Renaud out for 25 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Tours will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Denis Roux keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Tours may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match

Nobody wants to play Tours right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad

Tempers go at Tours

Frédéric Le Gall was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Pedro Godoy at his very best

Marked 9.51. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Tours.

Loan watch

Jean-Luc Fleury wants to come home

“I did not go to Le Havre AC to sit and watch. I want to come back to Tours and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 13 matches say the rest.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Frédéric Le Gall

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Frédéric Le Gall in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Tours this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Tuomas Ollila falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Loan watch

Antoine Barbier counts the days

“I watch every Tours game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Stade Rennais runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Market

Rémi Carpentier asks to leave Tours

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Pedro Godoy wants more than Tours are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad

Tempers go at Tours

Karim Azamoum was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

The Jean-Baptiste Morel conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Cosenza will make the call about Jean-Baptiste Morel this week. Tours have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Match

Tours find a way past Nimes

Nimes made Tours work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Tuomas Ollila falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Loan watch

Antoine Barbier counts the days

“I watch every Tours game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Stade Rennais runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings

Frédéric Le Gall stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.69 on the card, and the Tours support went home talking about one name.

Squad

Denis Roux gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
