🇩🇪Vincent Kompany: “Michael Olise is a special talent. It’s a luxury to have so many good players at Bayern. Michael performed incredibly well. His start here couldn’t have been better. He just needs to keep this up. I don’t get the sense that he’s a player who feels a lot of pressure.”

🇫🇷Thierry Henry: "He's got incredible qualities, and you ain't seen nothing yet; it's only the start. It's not often that you get players like that."

Michael Olise is a versatile left-footed attacking midfielder with the ability to operate as a number 10 or on either flank. His football intelligence is evident in his range of passing, often unlocking defenses with precision balls behind the opposition or switching the play to create new opportunities. Olise thrives in the right half-space, 50 to 30 yards from goal, where he uses his vision to dictate the tempo of the attack.

On the ball, Olise is agile and quick, able to navigate tight spaces with impressive acceleration. His dribbling skills make him a constant threat, whether he's driving forward or creating separation to deliver a cross. Despite being more focused on his attacking duties, his ability to keep the opposition guessing with his movement and vision is a hallmark of his play.
