After a difficult passage in Mexico and a Renaissance started in Italy, on the side of the Udinese, Florian Thauvin decided to return to the French championship this summer. At 32, the former Marseillais chose to settle down in Lens, where he has been shining since the start of the season.
Once again sparkling on Sunday evening in Rennes, where the Sang et Or won a point to the taste of victory after playing ten during the almost integration of the game (0-0), Florian Thauvin was logically elected man of the match. What relaunch the debate on a potential return to the France team.
For his teammate in the North, Mamadou Sangaré, Didier Deschamps must recall “Flotov”. “” He must go to the French team. You see what he does: technically, it's incredible. Even defensively, it really helps. At 10 against 11, I saw him run 30, 40, 50 meters ”, launched the Malian international after draw in Rennes.
“We have Florian Thauvin level team of France”
Same story from Adil Rami on the Ligue 1+ set: ” Very big performance of Flo (Thauvin), he is especially in continuity because he was so huge against Lille. (…) We have Florian Thauvin level team in France. I say that, I say nothing … »»
For his part, Thauvin no longer hides his wish to postpone the blue tunic. “” When you work and you are efficient, you want to believe it, to dream, he said.
I think the best season of my career was in 2018, but today I consider myself stronger. In 2018 I was a young player, perhaps effective, but too individual. Today I have a different vision of football, much more collective. I feel much more complete in everything I am able to do. And if we compare everything, I think I am a better player today. »»
