„We understand each other without words“: France star raves about Olise | OneFootball

Michael Olise has finally played himself into the world class in his first season at FC Bayern. While his name is now even being linked with Real Madrid, the Frenchman is also causing a stir in the national team. Now team-mate Rayan Cherki has publicly raved about working with the Bayern star

Michael Olise is currently one of the most sought-after attacking players in world soccer. After an outstanding season at FC Bayern, the Frenchman has not only established himself as a key player in Munich, but has also cemented his place in the French national team

With numerous goals and assists, the 24-year-old has become the focus of top international clubs. According to media reports, even Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on the attacking player. The Whites are reportedly thinking about testing FC Bayern’s resolve with a high-priced offer

At the moment, however, Olise is fully focused on the World Cup with France, where he is one of the central figures in an attack that many experts consider to be the strongest of the tournament

Cherki praises the interplay with Olise

Rayan Cherki is particularly impressed, and the Manchester City attacker has now spoken about working with his national team colleague and had words of praise for him

„Playing with Michael is fantastic. We understand each other without even saying a word,“ explained Cherki

The French international particularly emphasized their mutual understanding of the game, with both players having great freedom in their movements and yet always seeming to know what the other is going to do

„He knows that I can drift to the right or left, and it’s the same with him,“ Cherki continued

In a team with many creative attacking players, this kind of understanding is of enormous value. France have exceptional quality in the forward positions, but are still reliant on the individual players working in harmony

For Cherki, Olise has long been one of the most important players in the French attack, and the City professional describes working with the Bayern star as almost intuitive

„When he moves into the center, I don’t want to get in his way – that can open up space elsewhere on the pitch,“ explained the 22-year-old

The French international’s final assessment is particularly noteworthy: „We have a natural understanding of the game and it’s wonderful to be on the pitch together.“

These statements underline the status Olise now enjoys within the Équipe Tricolore. Despite the enormous competition in attack, the Bayern star is now a permanent fixture in the team

With Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Marcus Thuram, Bradley Barcola and Cherki, France has numerous world-class players in attack. Nevertheless, Olise now seems to have become indispensable

For FC Bayern, the words of his national team colleague are a further indication of how much the Frenchman has developed in recent months. While Munich continue to block any speculation about a move for their attacking star, international recognition for his performances continues to grow

This is one of the reasons why many experts consider France to be among the top favorites for the World Cup title – with Michael Olise as one of the key faces of this team.
