Accused of committing “crime against football” if he persisted in not calling back
Corentin Tolisso,
Didier Deschamps is once again at the heart of the debate. The midfielderOlympique Lyonnais once again delivered a high-level performance against theMarseille Olympicdespite the defeat of his team (3-2).
Tolisso shines despite disillusionment
From the 3rd minute of play, the Lyon captain opened the scoring and ideally launched his team into this Olympico. But the scenario turned, and OL finally lost in added time. If the result leaves a bitter taste, Tolisso’s individual performance did not go unnoticed.
A few weeks before the next meeting of the Blues, the question of his return to the French team arises insistently. However, Didier Deschamps seems to remain inflexible so far, despite the status of 2018 world champion of the Lyon midfielder.
Obraniak charges Deschamps
On the set of
The Team Channel,
Ludovic Obraniak did not mince his words. For him, depriving himself of Tolisso would simply be unthinkable:
“This summer, there could be a crime against football if Corentin Tolisso is not taken into the French team. The level displayed in terms of playing intelligence, his ability to make others play, to be decisive…”
The former international emphasizes in particular his reading of the game and his ability to illuminate the offensive phases: “He lights up the game. As soon as he has a penultimate pass to make…”
Umtiti agrees
Same story on the side of

Samuel Umtitiformer Blues executive and hero of the semi-final of the
2018 FIFA World Cup against Belgium, also took a position.
“He’s a complete player. He helps this Lyon team so much that I wonder once again about this debate,” he confided.
According to Umtiti, the current Tolisso is reminiscent of his great years at Lyon, before his departure to Bayern Munich: capable of playing in a double pivot, higher on the pitch or even in front of the defense, with forward projection which is his strength.
It now remains to be seen whether Didier Deschamps will be sensitive to these repeated calls. The debate does not weaken.
