Tolisso's World Cup Dream: Lyon Captain's Late Push
4 May
Summary
- Corentin Tolisso's crucial role in Lyon's 4-2 victory.
- Tolisso registered two assists and scored a penalty.
- Tolisso aims for World Cup inclusion despite missing past squads.
Corentin Tolisso's inspired performance was pivotal in Olympique Lyonnais's 4-2 victory over Stade Rennais on Sunday, boosting their Champions League qualification hopes. The Lyon captain was directly involved in three goals, providing two assists and converting a penalty.
Despite a challenging early challenge that left him dazed, Tolisso demonstrated remarkable determination throughout the match. His influential display has reignited the debate in Lyon regarding his exclusion from Didier Deschamps's French national team plans for the upcoming World Cup.
Having last played for France five years ago, Tolisso expressed his disappointment at missing the March international break squad. At 31, this World Cup represents a potential final opportunity for the 2018 winner, with competition fierce for midfield places.
Tolisso is reportedly focused on making a strong case for inclusion in the final weeks of the domestic season. His continued high-level performances not only benefit Lyon in their pursuit of a podium finish but also serve as a compelling argument for his return to international duty.
