“It’s a real pride to be back in this French team. » Florian Thauvin did not hide his joy at finding Clairefontaine, six years after his last selection with the Blues. Called in as reinforcements by Didier Deschamps to replace Bradley Barcola, the winger from the Racing club of Lens (32 years old) returns to the French group with humility and appetite.
“I think there is one thing that you must never forget when you come to the French team: it is that it remains an opportunity. It's a privilegehe said. It's never normal to arrive in the French team. It's a very long way to get there. I come to store as much pleasure as possible. It’s a matter of great pride. And let my qualities shine through too. »
“Strangely it's not my first selection, but it's just like, because I've been through such difficult stages all this time that it's a bit like it's the first”he added. His joy at finding the selection is not shared by everyone. On RMC, Walid Acherchour was surprised to see the Sang et Or player being summoned.

For him, “Flotov” simply does not deserve its place in the “DD” list. “If I have to answer the question 'Does Thauvin deserve his selection for the French team', it's a big nosaid the journalist in the show After Football. Today, to join the French team, you have to have three very good matches like Florian Thauvin? »
This return surprises him all the more as Corentin Tolisso, back at his best level with OL, was not so lucky.
“If I'm Corentin Tolisso, in another sector, I take a stool, I don't sleep at night! »he said, also affirming that Dilane Bakwa, transferred from Strasbourg to Nottingham Forest, had “made a better start to the season than Thauvin”.
