Soccer World Cup: France 4-1 Norway wins with Dembele hat-trick

France defeated Norway 4-1 in Group I of the Soccer World Cup North and Central America. Forward Dembele scored a hat trick to seal the victory for his team. Dembélé, a former Ballon d'Or winner, scored the three goals with his ambidextrous technique, which allows him to play equally well with his left and right foot.

For the first goal, he pretended to hit with his left foot, then switched to his right and swung with great force. For the second goal, he switched to his left foot and took a mid-range shot from outside the penalty area. The finishing touch was to feint the opponent who was too wary to close in, open the course, and sink the ball with his left. "It was a special moment," Dembele said.

France has an absolute ace named Mbappé at the forefront. However, Dembélé brings more than just goals. In response to Norway's sharp and fast attacks, they ran back on the right side with all their might on defense. DF Kunde, a right-back, expressed his confidence in him, saying, ``He plays with great intensity even when he doesn't have the ball, so I'm really happy to see him succeed.''

He has not scored in the past two World Cups. During his time at Barcelona, ​​he was also called a ``problem child'' due to his bad behavior. His development into a dedicated player began when he transferred to the powerhouse Paris Saint-Gerson in 2023. Paris coach Luis Enrique, who uses dedication in offense and defense as a criterion for hiring players, praised him, saying, ``He has helped us grow so that we can be active both when we have the ball and when we don't have it.'' Currently, he has won two consecutive European Champions League (CL) titles as a key player. He is fulfilling this role on the French national team, which is full of talented players.

When asked to praise his hat-trick, Dembele was unimpressed, saying, ``What's important is what the team accomplished today.'' Seeing him wearing a black robe even after receiving the Ballon d'Or award, I get a sense of why France is said to be the favorite to win.
