It is time for Didier Deschamps to open his eyes to Corentin Tolisso, who had disappeared from circulation for a long time, and now has the level to be with the Blues again.
Corentin Tolisso has long been challenged by his own physique. During his five seasons at Bayern Munich (2017-2022), he missed no less than 108 matches due to injuries. At the time of his return to Olympique Lyonnais, the fear of seeing him relapse was therefore strong and justified. During his first two seasons after signing with Les Gones, Corentin Tolisso was injured 7 times, missing a total of 20 games. However, the 2024-2025 financial year finally seems to be the right one for the midfielder. The latter has not missed a single match for medical reasons since March 3. Full of confidence, he has put together very good performances today, both in the championship and in the Europa League. Enough to force Daniel Riolo to make a huge appeal to Didier Deschamps by affirming that the Lyonnais deserves his place in the French team.
“Who is superior to Tolisso today? », asks Daniel Riolo
« If we list the midfielders in the French team… Who is superior to Tolisso today? What does he have less than 90% of the midfielders in this French team? 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 », Explains Daniel Riolo on the airwaves of RMC, who is admiring of the performances of Corentin Tolisso. Should Didier Deschamps call the 30-year-old midfielder to the next rally? The latter has only missed one match with OL, has already scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists. With an average Flashscore of 7.35/10 in all competitions this season, he has become an integral part of Pierre Sage's training. It remains to be seen whether he will still be spared injuries during the next international break next March.
