The World Cup is fast approaching. From June 11 to July 19, the United States, Canada and Mexico will host 48 nations, including the French team. As the deadline approaches, Didier Deschamps intensifies his observations in order to finalize a particularly anticipated selection.
Winner in 2018, the French coach is aiming for a new world title for his last on the bench, but the competition promises to be tough. The list of selected players will be made public on May 14, in a context where there is no shortage of offensive options and where every place is being fought for.
In this context, Corentin Tolisso stands out as a serious outsider. Centerpiece of Olympique Lyonnais this season, the midfielder, absent from the Blues since 2021, has put together solid performances and does not leave anyone indifferent.
Endrick optimistic
His teammate Endrick was full of praise for him in the Channel Football Club : “ The player who impressed me the most? Tolisso. He’s an idol here in Lyon. He gives his all for the team. I hope he can go to the World Cup, because he is a great player. »
At 31, the French international (28 caps) has not completely given up on a return to the French team. But lucid, he now prefers to let the field speak. “I was disappointed during the last selection and I made a promise to myself: not to talk about it in the media again. My father believes in it, I work”he told beIN Sports. It remains to be seen whether his performances will be enough to convince Didier Deschamps in an already very dense hierarchy. Verdict in less than three weeks.
