In an interview since Manchester, Corentin Tolisso expresses a palpable confidence in the chances of Olympique Lyonnais to qualify against Manchester United this Thursday evening in Old Trafford. After a season of maintaining a high level of play, the Lyon midfielder stressed the importance of the goal scored at the last second during the all-round match, perceived as an additional motivation factor. The team benefited from several days of preparation to analyze and correct the weaknesses observed during the first act of this confrontation, while capitalizing on the positive aspects of their performance.

Corentin Tolisso insists on the need for Olympique Lyonnais to maintain maximum intensity, or even exceed it, in order to win the individual duels and take control of the ball. He notes that the team has been on a positive dynamic since the coach’s arrival, despite some setbacks, and that this dynamic has made it possible to highlight strengths against leading opponents such as Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain. The player also relativizes the defeat in Strasbourg, stressing the team’s ability to bounce back immediately.

Finally, Corentin Tolisso addresses the special character of this game at Old Trafford, a mythical stadium that has rocked his generation. He recognizes the importance of this appointment, qualifying this match as one of the most important of his career since his return to Olympique Lyonnais. Rather than focusing on Manchester United’s potential weaknesses, he encourages the team to focus on its own strengths and not wait for an adverse error, in order to win this first and hoped-for victory over the lands of Mancuna.
