It might not be Kylian Mbappe or Ballon d’Or holder Ousmane Dembele lighting up France’s attack at the World Cup. Instead, it could be the discreet and unassuming Michael Olise, with his golden first touch and devastating changes of direction — starting when two-time champion France takes on Senegal on Tuesday in New Jersey. The Bayern Munich winger enters the tournament in fine form after netting a superb hat-trick against Northern Ireland on June 8, taking his total to seven in 17 games for Les Bleus.
