Corentin Tolisso continues his very good season with Olympique Lyonnais. Scorer again on Sunday against Paris FC (1-1), the Lyon midfielder did not hide his ambition to find the France national football team. 2018 world champion with the Blues (28 caps), the former Bayern Munich player reaffirmed his objective at the Ligue 1+ microphone.

“I’m going to answer the same thing as I answered previously, but of course I want to go back. It’s been a while since I’ve been there. I work every day to get back there, it’s a goal, it’s part of my goals for the season, I’m determined”he confided.

“I do everything to be there”

The midfielder knows, however, that everything will depend on his performances with OL. “I know it comes from good performances with my club. I also know that my club must win, must achieve good results to hope to be there. But that doesn’t stop me from believing in it. In any case, I’m doing everything to be there, that’s for sure. But if I’m not there, one thing is certain, I will have zero regrets. In the end, we will see the choices that are made”he added.

Less visible in the game on Sunday, Corentin Tolisso admitted not being completely satisfied with his performance. “I wasn’t necessarily happy with myself, but I didn’t give up. I didn’t want the guys to see me give up. I am captain, I must lead by example. It was important that I took responsibility for the penalty”he explained. Thanks to his goal, OL avoided another defeat.
