Time for the recovery has come for the French team. It is next Thursday, at 2 p.m., that Didier Deschamps will announce his list for the double confrontation against Croatia (March 20 and 23), in the quarterfinals of the League of Nations. A group that Kylian Mbappé will undoubtedly find, after missing the last two gatherings.
But another return, much less awaited that one, is envisaged. Or in any case hoped for. While it has not been called since Euro 2021, Corentin Tolisso has regained his best level with OL and again postulates the selection. “At one point, I was not looking too much (the list), but there, yeah, I'm going to look at it”, announces the Lyonnais midfielder in The team.
The previous N'Golo Kanté
“I had already looked at the previous one (in November), but it was not an end in itselfhe continues. Of course I want to be there. If I'm there, so much the better. If I am not there, I will look at the next one. »» At 30 and finally rid of his many physical seeds, the former Bayern Munich player believes that it is not too late to be recalled:
“There is no deadline. »»
“I am 30 and a half years old, but for me, if you are performing, you can be called back to the French team at 31, 32, 33 or 34 years oldsays the one who has 28 capes, the last against Portugal on June 23, 2021. Until today I never said that I wanted to return to the French team. I am someone who does not like to say the things for fear that they do not happen. »»
If Didier Deschamps brought N'Golo Kanté back to the Blues for Euro 2024, after two years of absence and while he evolves in Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, Corentin Tolisso has every reason to believe it. But it is without pressure that he will listen to the coach to announce his 23: “There, I really live day by day, week after week, I take a lot of fun. »»
