However, the field was clear for Michael Olise, this Thursday evening at the Stade de France against Israel (0-0). Ousmane Dembélé, forced to withdraw from this rally at the last minute, and the returning Kingsley Coman, placed on the substitutes’ bench, had left a good opportunity for the Bayern Munich striker to showcase himself against Israel, in the corridor right of the attack of the Blues, to prove that he is more than a credible alternative to this position.
In a meeting where his creativity and technical accuracy could have done good against an opposing block positioned very low, number 7, on the contrary, lacked originality for his fourth selection (third start). Attraction of the first rally in September – without however succeeding in shining on the field – the Bayern Munich player (22 years old) had experienced a second delicate opus in October which had highlighted his difficulties in transcribing with his country what he was doing good with his club where he had started with a bang.
