Touched by grace in Lisbon with OL, of which he was one of the great architects of the superb course in the Champions League, Houssem Aouar has crossed a new course: that of the France team. The Lyon midfielder expressed his satisfaction and pride at being called up by Didier Deschamps with the Blues in an interview with L'Equipe.
“I was happy [to see his name on the DD list]. Happy, too, to see that the fact of having worked well and progressed well with OL has been rewarded. I think our performances in the Champions League have helped me, surely. But before confinement, I was already on the right track, so I think it's a whole. Fun fact, Aouar half-admits having gone fishing for clues to find out if he was close or far from a summons. “I had read a couple of things about it, and heard people talking about it, so I thought I had my chance. "
Aouar "not yet gone"
Lyon's best player in the Final 8 took the opportunity to return to OL's career in C1. If he says he is necessarily disappointed to have failed in the half, he does not forget the feat in the previous round against Manchester City, "the match which [him] provided the most emotions, the most sensations. "As to whether his future is still in Lyon, Aouar leaves all the doors open:" I haven't left yet! "
