At 32, Corentin Tolisso has often been at the heart of a media campaign to convince Didier Deschamps to recall him to the France team. Attempts which have always remained in vain. Will the arrival of Zinedine Zidane at the head of the Blues change the situation? On the eve of the Ligue 1 clash against Stade Rennais and a few hours before the announcement of the first ZZ list (6 p.m.), Les Gones coach Paulo Fonseca hopes that the new boss of the Blues will call up his midfielder for the 28 selections (2 goals).
“Corentin Tolisso is an essential element of the team. He is a player who gives everything for the team and it is important for us to have him. He had small physical problems which limited him but nothing takes away his quality. You are used to seeing Corentin Tolisso be more decisive but I think he does a very good job. For me, all my players should go to the selection. But this decision is not up to me. He deserves it, but I am the first to respect the decisions of national coaches. I know that Zinedine Zidane will do a great job and I will not influence him”he confided at a press conference.
