"Everything goes through him": Could Olise become Bayern's new Robben? | OneFootball

Michael Olise is currently causing a stir at FC Bayern. In the Sky podcast "Mia san vier", the experts discussed the outstanding early form of the winger – and even drew comparisons to club legend Arjen Robben.

In his first season in Munich, Olise already left a lasting impression. But now the Frenchman seems to be taking his game to a new level. "The worthy successor to Arjen Robben in purely sporting terms," enthused Kerry Hau. "Everything runs through him. He takes the reins into his own hands."

Olise impresses not only with his dribbling and goal threat but also with his work against the ball. "Many forget that," explained Hau. "He also works defensively and supports the full-backs like Konny Laimer or Sascha Boey excellently."

The interplay with Konrad Laimer on the right side particularly impresses observers. "They understand each other better and better, they harmonize more and more. You can see what a year of playing together can bring," said Hau.

Torben Hoffmann highlights the versatility of Michael Olise: "This ease, making everything look so effortless, I find highly impressive. And he doesn't just have that one move like Arjen Robben, who almost always cut inside. He also looks for the way outside. That makes him so unpredictable."

For Hoffmann, Olise is thus one of the most exciting players in the Bayern squad: "The first season was already incredible, but now he's showing that he's arrived at the top and can hold his own. A delight to watch."

On the field, Olise has long been a fan favorite, but off the field, he remains a mystery. "Konrad Laimer revealed that Olise actually speaks – at least in the locker room," jokes Felix Fischer. "We've heard maybe five words from him so far."

As mysterious as the offensive player may seem off the field, on the pitch he speaks a clear language. With his dynamism, creativity, and efficiency, Olise has already developed into a key player for FC Bayern – and the experts are convinced: His development has only just begun.
