Deserved? Tolisso declared he wants a call-up to the French national team

Lyon midfielder Corentin Tolisso is one of Lyon's leaders and a standout player in the French championship. However, Didier Deschamps hasn't been actively utilizing his services in the French national team, and the midfielder wants to change that.

Details: Tolisso, who was last called up to the "Les Bleus" squad before Euro 2020, stated that he hopes to receive an invitation to the national team due to his good form.

Quote: “When I returned to Lyon, my goal was the World Cup, which was held in December, so I had to work in September, October, and November to get a call-up to the French national team. And when that didn't happen, I told myself it would be tough. There are no deadlines.

I'm 30 and a half years old, but in my opinion, if you're performing well, you can be called up to the French national team at 31, 32, 33, or 34 years old. At one point, I wasn't paying attention to this list, but now, yes, I'm going to look at it. I've already looked at the previous one. But it's not an end in itself. Of course, I want to be there. If I'm there - great. If not, I'll look at the next list,” said Tolisso.

Reminder: Earlier, Deschamps announced the return of Real forward Kylian Mbappe to the French national team. In March, "Les Bleus" will play the Nations League quarterfinals against Croatia.
