Deschamps Commends Olise’s Development
During the post-match press conference attended by Get French Football News, France manager Didier Deschamps commended Olise’s season-long impact at both club and international level, acknowledging his increasing confidence and pivotal contributions to the national squad.
“He is radiant through the season he has had at Bayern and with us as well. He is full of confidence. He is so decisive,” began Deschamps.
The France manager further touched on Olise’s progress since joining the senior team following a notable Olympic Games, observing that, while the forward initially took four or five matches to settle due to his naturally introverted nature, he has since proven highly endearing and self-reliant—qualities Deschamps believes will be invaluable at the World Cup.
“We are trying to guide him through discussions. He is standing on his own two feet. He has done everything to get to this level.”
