Towen returned to the French national team after more than 6 years. In an interview, he talked about his feelings about his return.
He said: "This is incredible, and I can't react now. Have I always kept the French team in my heart? For a while, I was indeed far away and had to look at the situation realistically. But as long as you are still a football player, this dream has always existed, especially since you have been involved in this group. I was lucky enough to be a member of the 2018 World Cup champions, so this idea has never completely left."
"I came back this time and my goal is to enjoy the moment. Being selected for the French team again is real pride. I I think one thing I can't forget every time I wear a national team jersey: it's an opportunity and an honor."
"It's never taken for granted to be selected for France, and the road to this point is very long. So I came back this time to enjoy every minute and show my strength. This is a huge pride. Wonderful, although this is not my first time being selected, it feels like the first time. Because I've experienced so many difficulties over the years, and now I'm back, it's like a brand new beginning. "
Towen's last appearance for France can be traced back to On June 11, 2019, France defeated Andorra 4-0 in the 2020 European Cup qualifiers, and Towan contributed 1 goal and 1 assist. This time he was not on the original list, because Barkora withdrew due to injury, Towan was selected as a substitute.
