Olympique Lyonnais completely missed their exit. Beaten in Toulouse last weekend, OL in fact foundered on Sunday against RC Lens on the last day of Ligue 1. For his big reunion with Les Gones, Pierre Sage may have fielded an repeat team, but the Sang et Or crushed their hosts at Groupama Stadium (0-4).
OL certainly avoided the worst thanks to the defeat conceded by Stade Rennais in Marseille, but this poor performance left Corentin Tolisso with big regrets. Consequence of the setback conceded by Losc against Auxerre. A simple draw would have been enough for the Lyonnais to snatch third place and therefore direct qualification for the Champions League.
“In the heat of the moment, there is the big disappointment this evening, especially with the result from Lille, he told the press. We knew something could happen there, so we were keen to have a big match. Unfortunately, we had a non-match, they were superior to us in the duels and were very realistic. »
Corentin Tolisso, disappointment confirmed
Corentin Tolisso had experienced another disappointment, three days earlier. As expected for several months, the former Bavarian, although retained in the eleven-type of the season by the UNFP, was not selected by Didier Deschamps to compete in the World Cup in America.
“In March, I had already had a disappointment and we were eliminated from the Europa League right after, he whispered. There, there is another disappointment and we lose today. I gave the best of myself, I had the best season of my career, on a personal level, on a statistical level. Didier Deschamps said what he had to say. He spoke of five indisputable backgrounds. I gave everything, I have zero regrets, I can’t reproach myself for anything, I’m proud of what I did, of what I put in place, that’s life, that’s football. But believe me, I won’t give up. I will do even more to one day be called or not but I will give everything. »
And Corentin Tolisso does not want to cling to the hypothesis of a possible package. “You never know what can happen in football. There is always a little hope but I’m not lying to you that I have prepared my vacation, he indicated. I’m going to pretend, I wish them good luck and I hope they do great things. »
