Highly visible since the start of the season and scorer on Thursday in the Europa League, Corentin Tolisso deserves to return to the France team, according to Daniel Riolo.
Olympique Lyonnais hit hard on Thursday on the Qarabag pitch. Three weeks after their waste against Fenerbahçe, OL made up for it by winning 4-1 in Azerbaijan, thus returning to the Top 8 in the Europa League standings. There were many reasons for satisfaction in the Lyon ranks. Georges Mikautadze thus unlocked his tally on the European scene by scoring a double and Malick Fofana confirmed his greatness by scoring a new goal.
But in midfield, another player shone. Confirming his good start to the season, Corentin Tolisso was indeed imperial, enhancing his fine performance with a goal from a powerful long-range strike. And for Daniel Riolo, the question now clearly arises of his return to the France team, which he has not been with since Euro 2021 and a start in the third group match against Portugal, in Budapest.
“I can’t think of anyone better than him”
“If we make the list of midfielders that are in the France team… Who is superior to Tolisso today? What does he have less than 90% of the midfielders in this French team? »he asked, providing the answer himself: “In fact, I can't think of a better one than him.” »
“Since this season started, between the Europa League and the championship, is Tolisso inferior to Guendouzi? I tell you no. Is he inferior to Rabiot? Never in life, not even in dreams. Youssouf Fofana? He is not inferior to him, never in life”he insisted while the next list for the France team will fall next March, for the quarter-final of the Nations League against Croatia. A remake of the 2018 World Cup final which inevitably brings back good memories for the former Munich player.
