The French national team defeated Belgium 4-1 in a match at the Stade de France on Monday. Despite an early setback, France managed to turn the game around in the final stages. Belgium took the lead in the 35th minute through a goal by Dodi Lukebakio, and France struggled to respond until Désiré Doué equalized in the last quarter of the match. This sparked a decisive run of goals, with Rayan Cherki scoring to put France ahead and Michael Olise adding two late goals to secure the win. Désiré Doué continued to impress, scoring the equalizer and extending his personal streak of never losing a match when he scores. Since joining Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2024, Doué has maintained a perfect record of 29 wins in 29 matches where he has scored at least one goal. His consistent performance has made him a key player for the team. Michael Olise, who came on as a substitute in the 60th minute, played a crucial role in the victory. He scored two goals and provided two important passes, drawing praise from coach Zinedine Zidane and earning chants from fans at Lyon for him to win the Ballon d'Or. However, Olise remained humble, downplaying the attention and acknowledging the team's strong performance in the second half. The match highlighted the evolving dynamics within the French team under Zidine Zidane's leadership. Ousmane Dembélé, who started as the team's main striker, faced criticism for his performance, with some suggesting that players like Olise and Doué are becoming more prominent. Others defended Dembélé, arguing that the expectations placed on him are too high for his role in the team. Adrien Rabiot, who had been a key player under previous coach Didier Deschamps, appears to be losing his starting position. Observers like Daniel Riolo suggested that players such as Eduardo Camavinga and Lucas Da Cunha are emerging as important figures in the midfield. Emmanuel Petit also praised Camavinga's performance against Belgium, noting his significant contribution. The debate over Dembélé's role in the team continues, with some critics arguing that his performance has been below expectations, while others defend his value to the team. The French team's performance against Belgium has sparked discussions about the evolving roles and contributions of various players under Zidane's management.
