Michael Olise scored twice in Bayern Munich's 6-0 season-opening win over RB Leipzig, building on a debut campaign that produced 20 goals in 55 appearances. The winger joined from Crystal Palace for £50.7m, featured in all 34 Bundesliga matches, scored 12 league goals and finished as Bayern's top provider of assists as the club reclaimed the title. Comparisons have been drawn between Olise's development and Kevin De Bruyne. Calmness in daily training and expectations of further progress have been noted. Bayern will begin their DFB Pokal campaign away to Wehen Wiesbaden amid rotation and caution over potential upsets.
"Michael's numbers aren't my priority, but I do expect him to get better and make strides," said Kompany. "I've also seen the development [previously] of such talents, perhaps comparable to Kevin De Bruyne."
"What's important is what they do every day in training," said Kompany. "I see total calm in him. Now he's won something, but he has to keep going. I hope he can make further progress and that the Bayern fans will get joy from him for a long time."
