Thauvin bets everything on Lens to force Zidane to recall him

Florian Thauvin, the thirty‑three‑year‑old striker, has not given up on rejoining the French national team, while coach Zinédine Zidane remains the only one who can offer him a place among the Bleus. After a brilliant season with RC Lens, he hopes his performances will be enough to convince the coach.

A brilliant start to the season

The Lens player confirmed his strong start in Ligue 1 by beating Paris FC 2-1 on Saturday, a victory that bolstered the Sang et Or. On the Ligue 1+ microphone, the striker reiterated his ambitions to get back into the Bleus.

« As a competitor, my goal is to go there, but it’s not up to me to demand it », said the former Marseille player. He added that he must give himself every chance on his side.

Thauvin clarified that his club performances are his best argument for Zidane. « I show up every weekend », he affirmed.
