Olise provided assists in matches against Iraq, Senegal, and Sweden. This level of consistency has made him one of the key figures in France's attacking setup.
Amid the dazzling goal-scoring exploits of Kylian Mbappé, Olise's contribution is just as vital. His vision and deliveries allow France to maintain their tempo and create chances against a variety of opponents.
Reminder: Earlier, Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé made World Cup history by becoming the most productive duo in the tournament since 1966.
