French Team: the Incredible Statistics of Michael Olise

The 24-year-old scored four goals in four Nations League games as France’s attack gained depth amid injuries and poor form.

  • On Monday in Saint-Denis near Paris, Michael Olise replaced Ousmane Dembele on the hour and delivered a stunning performance, scoring two goals and providing one assist in France's victory over Belgium.
  • With Kylian Mbappe injured and Dembele out of form, Olise emerged as France's most dangerous player during recent Nations League games, scoring four goals in four matches.
  • Desire Doue and Rayan Cherki joined Olise to dazzle with precision, as Doue scored France's equalizer and the trio combined for a sublime fourth goal with speed and passing accuracy.
  • Coach Zinedine Zidane was left awestruck by the performance, while former standout midfielder Alain Giresse compared the group to the 1980s 'Golden Quartet' that included three-time Ballon d'Or winner Michel Platini.
  • "What he's doing is just exceptional," Zidane said of Olise, whose recent Nations League form cements his status as a central figure in France's attacking lineup going forward.
