On Monday evening, Michael Olise was the star of France's victory over Belgium (0-1). Zinédine Zidane was impressed. The coach lavished praise on the player.

On Monday evening, Les Bleus beat Belgium 1-0 thanks to a goal from Michael Olise. The Bayern winger came on in the second half. It was a superb individual move from the Bavarian player. Michael Olise therefore helped France secure victory on Belgian soil, also prompting a highly notable reaction from Zidane on the touchline. After the match, the French coach spoke about the France winger.

“I saw him set off on a dribble and told myself he was going to score. I was fully behind him. It’s pure talent. I like these kinds of players. When he plays, he wants to entertain. It’s not just that. He feels football, he senses the challenges, he knows when to go for it and when to temper things,” said the France coach.
