Almost three and a half years after his last appearance in the rooster jersey, Corentin Tolisso could remember Didier Deschamps fondly.
Now aged 30,
Corentin Tolisso returned to his best level. The midfielder had a satisfactory first part of the season in the colors of Olympique Lyonnais, like his debut last Thursday, against Qarabag (4-1), in
Ligue Europa.
Entering for the second half, the former Bayern Munich player stood out in particular by scoring with a magnificent shot into the top corner shortly after the hour mark. What if Didier Deschamps recalled him to the French team?
Tolisso, the best French midfielder?
Daniel Riolo is totally in favor of this idea.
“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? In fact, I can't think of a better one than him.” judged the sports journalist on RMC.
The editorialist lends himself to the game of comparisons.
“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”, assures Riolo. Tolisso's last appearance in the rooster jersey dates back to June 23, 2021, against Portugal, during Euro 2020.
