Diaz raves about Olise: „He destroys you one-on-one“ | OneFootball

FC Bayern’s attack is currently functioning almost at will – and one name is being mentioned more and more frequently: Michael Olise. While Harry Kane shines as an ice-cold finisher, the French winger provides creative moments week after week. Now team-mate Luis Díaz has also had strong words to say about the 24-year-old – highlighting his quality in direct duels in particular

„Michael destroys you one-on-one, he’s so good technically and makes the difference,“ explained Díaz in an interview with Sky. A statement that reflects what defenders regularly experience in the Bundesliga. Olise consistently looks to dribble, is not afraid to take risks and repeatedly forces his opponents into awkward situations. His explosiveness in the first few metres, paired with close ball control, makes him a weapon on the wing that is almost impossible to control

But Díaz doesn’t just emphasize the spectacular actions. The Colombian is particularly impressed by Olise’s manner on the pitch. „He’s a calm guy. He’s very communicative on the pitch. He helps a lot, he pays attention to a lot of details and sometimes says: ‚Hey, let’s defend like this and like that‘.“

According to Díaz, it is precisely this mixture of creativity and game intelligence that sets Olise apart from many other attacking players. It’s not just about dribbling and scoring points, but about small details in positional play, coordination in pressing or defensive processes. „These are details that make you grow as a footballer and help you feel comfortable,“ Díaz continues

In Munich, Olise has long since developed from a highly talented new signing into an absolute difference-maker. Together with Díaz and Kane, he forms one of the most dangerous attacking trios in European soccer. The trio has already collected more than 100 scoring points in the current season – a figure that underlines the dominance of Bayern’s attack

But while Kane stands for goals and Díaz for dynamism, Olise is the creative unpredictable one, someone who can single-handedly turn games around. „It’s incredible to play with players like that,“ enthuses Díaz – referring in particular to the man who simply „destroys“ in one-on-one situations.
