France beats Northern Ireland with Olise hat trick

France closed its preparation for the 2026 World Cup with a resounding 3-1 victory over Northern Ireland. The protagonist was Michael Olise, who scored three goals in a match where the French showed solidity. The match, played at the Stade de France, served as a final test before traveling to the World Cup event.

Olise's tactical evolution in Deschamps' scheme ⚽

Olise's display was not a matter of chance. Deschamps has modified his offensive structure to take advantage of the Bayern player's ability to break lines with diagonal runs. His positioning as a false right winger creates space for the full-backs and allows Griezmann to move freely in the center. The synchronization with Tchouaméni in the build-up play was key to the three goals.

Olise forgets about assists and becomes selfish 😈

It seems someone told Olise that the World Cup does not reward the generous. The winger, known for giving away goal assists, decided that today it was time to be the villain of the story. Three shots, three roars. Meanwhile, Mbappé watched from the bench wondering if his teammate had mistaken the friendly for target practice. Northern Ireland, for its part, is already thinking about requesting a VAR review for the next match.
