"It's nice to hear but there's half of the season still to play, so I'm focused on the team and on team titles now. I don't want to compare the players because they're not the same but [he has] the mentality of [former Manchester City player] Kevin de Bruyne when I played with him. I was lucky to watch him come through as a young player and become a superstar. I saw the whole process and it is that obsession with detail that Michael has."
"He's matured a lot. He's made his debut for France, playing at the Olympics was also a massive help. To move away from London and [join Bayern] has been important for his development as a player and as a person."
Michael Olise, a 24-year-old left-footed winger who joined Bayern Munich from Crystal Palace in summer 2024, has established himself as one of Europe's best players. His exceptional form includes 23 assists and 38 goal involvements across all competitions, leading Europe's top five leagues. In Bayern's Champions League last-16 first leg against Atalanta, Olise scored twice and provided an assist in a dominant 6-1 victory. Bayern manager Vincent Kompany praised his obsession with detail and mentality, comparing him to Kevin de Bruyne. Despite potential Ballon d'Or discussions, Olise remains focused on team success. His maturation through international experience and relocation from London has contributed to his remarkable development.
