📲 Brazilians flood Olise's social media after controversial claim | OneFootball

If there’s one thing that brings Brazilians together, it’s joining forces to defend Brazil on social media!

Just ask Michael Olise!

The Bayern Munich French forward is feeling the full force of Brazilian online mobilization firsthand.

After a controversial statement, the player’s Instagram profile was “flooded” with a wave of comments and taunts, which have already added up to more than 100,000 interactions on his most recent post!

People really didn’t let it slide, posting tons of memes, gifs of Neymar and Ronaldo, and much more!

Other posts by the French star on Instagram were also “flooded.”

The spark behind the controversy

The situation began during an interview in which Olise was asked who the best players from certain countries were.

When it was Brazil’s turn, the Frenchman said he couldn’t recall or name a good Brazilian player at the moment.

The remark quickly went viral and was seen as disrespectful to the history of five-time world champion Brazilian football, prompting an immediate response from fans.
