Michael Olise, the French winger, expressed his delight after scoring his first international goal to help his team reach the UEFA Nations League.
Olise was hand a starting spot for France in their 2-0 win over Croatia in the second leg of their Nations League quarter-final. Which ended in a 2-2 aggregate draw and went into extra time. Where the French won 5-4 on penalties.
The Bayern Munich winger score เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย his first goal for the club in the 52nd minute with a stunning free-kick into the top corner, his first for the national team. Before providing the assist for the second, which was set up by Ousmane Dembele.
“I’m really happy because we won and it was a tough game. We gave everything in the game we needed to win.”
“I’m happy to score my first goal for the national team. It’s something I’ve always dreamed of,” said the 23-year-old, who was capping his sixth cap for his country.
But Olise’s performance keeps the others on the outside looking in. Deschamps described Olise as “radiant” as France beat Croatia on penalties to progress to the semi-finals of the Nations League. “His direct free-kick, his technical touch … I am happy for him and it has a bearing on other matches because he will be confident,” said Deschamps.
As Deschamps notes, this is a young France side after the retirements of Griezmann, Olivier Giroud, Hugo Lloris and Raphaël Varane since the 2022 World Cup.
The manager’s tenure will end after the next World Cup so this is his last chance to conjure a team in his image. He has issues in other parts of the pitch but Deschamps can at least be relieve that. With just over a year to go before the start of the World Cup. He has found a replacement for one of his former cadres, Griezmann, as Olise takes the torch.
