Deschamps praised Olise for his high efficiency after scoring a hat-trick.

France, nicknamed the "Les Bleus," defeated Northern Ireland 3-1 in another friendly match, thanks to a hat-trick from Olise. Didier Deschamps, in an interview, stated that Olise is in excellent form and highly efficient.

In the 2025/26 Bundesliga season, Olise contributed 22 goals and 19 assists for Bayern Munich, helping Kompany's team win the Bundesliga title and the German Cup, a truly outstanding performance.

France coach Didier Deschamps said, "Olisé is shining brightly, just like during his season at Bayern Munich. Everything seems very easy for him, and his efficiency is extremely high, which is fantastic."

"He was even more dazzling in this game because he scored a hat trick, and he has an impressive ability to maintain high-intensity running and sprint repeatedly."

Deschamps stated, "Our attacking system still has some areas that need improvement, but we don't have many more games to play to refine it, and we don't have much time left for training. We also need to manage some players properly, and most importantly, we need to be ready for the World Cup."

“The team has established some relatively clear positional arrangements, and Olise has become more accustomed to playing in his current position. The players have developed a very good technical understanding, which gives us more different options because we can adjust according to the characteristics of different players.”

In addition, France will face Senegal in their first Group I match of the 2026 World Cup.

Deschamps continued, "In the highest level of competition, there is no absolute certainty. We have a team with great potential, and we must be prepared for the next game."

“We can gradually get into the game and improve our performance through matches. But this time, given the situation in our group, we must get into the game immediately from the very first match.”
