World Cup: Thierry Henry names positions he prefers Olise, Dembele to play for France

Former France striker, Thierry Henry, has named the positions he prefers Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembele to play for Didier Deschamps’ side at the World Cup.

Henry spoke on Fox Sports after France defeated Sweden 3-0 in the World Cup Round of 32 encounter on Tuesday

Recall that two goals from Kylian Mbappe and a strike from Bradley Barcola gave France the victory against Sweden.

However, both Dembele and Olise have been impressive for France at the World Cup so far.

Dembele has four goals in the tournament, while Olise has five assists.

“I always say I prefer Olise as a 10 and Dembele on the right [attack] and you can see how the team is balanced when that happens,” Henry said.
