France unveils its newest "weapon"
Dembélé

The three raised fingers and the astonished look towards his hand were the moment that summed up Ousmane Dembélé's evening against Norway.

A spontaneous gesture, which showed more than any statistic how much he had been waiting for this moment.

The reigning Ballon d'Or winner, the main protagonist of Paris Saint-Germain's triumph in Europe and one of the most decisive footballers of the last two seasons, still had a gap in his career with the French national team.

Until this match, Dembélé had scored only eight goals in 61 appearances for the Blues, while he had never scored in a World Cup or European Championship.

Everything changed within 32 minutes.

The hat-trick against Norway was not just a statistical explosion, but confirmation that the 29-year-old striker is also playing with France at the same level that made him unstoppable at PSG.

The three goals were different in their construction, but had the same characteristic: a Dembélé who is no longer limited to dribbling or creating chances, but who has become a cool and efficient finisher.

The first goal came after a quick counterattack, when Kylian Mbappé brought him in front of the defender. With a series of feints, Dembélé created space and shot accurately at the far post.

In the second goal, he received the ball on the right wing, entered the center and shot accurately from distance, while in the third, after assisting Aurélien Tchouaméni, he demonstrated the calmness and confidence of a striker who already knows exactly how to punish opponents in the area.

For years, Dembélé has been considered one of the greatest talents in European football, but also a player who failed to convert his potential into goals. He created leads with dribbling, but often lacked finishing.

Over the past 12 months, that has changed radically. He reads spaces better, chooses the right moment to shoot and has become much more efficient in front of goal.

Coach Didier Deschamps also seems to have found the ideal formula to exploit him. With Mbappé constantly attacking from deep and technical players like Désiré Doué and Michael Olise creating space between the lines, Dembélé has the freedom to start on the wing and finish as a central striker.

Of course, the performance must be seen in context. Norway had already qualified and took to the field with many changes to their lineup, leaving Erling Haaland on the bench. France found more space than expected in the knockout stage.

However, for Didier Deschamps the best news is not just the hat-trick against Norway. It's the fact that France now seem to have acquired the best version of Dembélé.

With Mbappé, Doué, Olise and a Dembélé in this form, the Blues' attack becomes even more terrifying for any opponent at the World Cup.

The three fingers that Dembélé held up at the end of the match didn't just symbolize the three goals he scored. They marked the end of a stalemate that had followed him for years and, perhaps, the beginning of a new chapter in the France shirt.
