“He’s a magician”: Bayern teammate Upamecano raves about Olise | OneFootball

Michael Olise has long since become an indispensable key player at FC Bayern – and is now also causing a stir in the French national team. After his goal against Ukraine, teammates and coaches are overflowing with praise for the 23-year-old.

At the German record champions, Olise is almost irreplaceable in Vincent Kompany's system. He is also increasingly showcasing his qualities in France's national team. Bayern defender Dayot Upamecano raved in an interview with Téléfoot: “He is a magician. His technical level is very high. He can do everything. He has a great left foot. He can score goals, provide assists, and even defend.”

“He sees things before others”

France's World Cup-winning coach Didier Deschamps was also full of praise after Olise's performance in the World Cup qualification: “Michael is brilliant. He is technically gifted, runs a lot, moves intelligently… He has it all. Of course, it took a bit longer with us, but he always had the quality.” Deschamps is particularly impressed by Olise's versatility: “He can play on the right, center, and left, he sees things before others and brings us a lot.”

The praise is justified, as the numbers also support: Since the start of last season, no player in the European top-5 leagues has created more big chances than Olise. The winger has set up 32 scoring opportunities – a top value that impressively underscores his exceptional status.

For FC Bayern, Olise is much more than a winger; he is a true game-changer. In a team that recently had to let go of big names like Kingsley Coman or Leroy Sané, he has quickly developed into a defining player. His close ball control, speed in the first few meters, and creativity in the final third make him a player who is hard to stop.

Within the Bundesliga, Olise is already considered one of the most exciting players. Opposing coaches regularly highlight how difficult he is to neutralize, as he can both score from a distance and provide dangerous assists. The Frenchman is already regarded as one of the best right-wingers in Europe – and if he continues his development, he could soon be in the conversation for the Ballon d’Or.

At FC Bayern, they are aware of the gem they have in their ranks. Olise's contract runs until 2029 – a clear sign that the club is planning with him for the long term. The combination of playing brilliance, hard work, and his ability to make a difference in crucial moments makes him a face of the future for the German record champions.
