Michael Olise once again proved his classin FC Bayern’s 6-1 win over Atalanta Bergamo. With two goals and an assist, the Frenchman was the outstanding man on the pitch and was fittingly named Man of the Match by UEFA after the game
The winger is increasingly developing into a key player in Munich’s attacking play, and his current figures underline this development impressively
In the current Champions League season, the 24-year-old has already scored nine times after nine appearances. Across all competitions, he has even scored 41 goals in 36 games, making Olise one of the most productive attacking players in Europe this season
His performance in Bergamo was not only met with enthusiasm by Bayern fans, as coach Vincent Kompany was also impressed by his protégé’s development at the post-match press conference
Kompany compares Olise with De Bruyne
The Bayern coach made it clear what potential he sees in the French international. „He came here with a mentality that gives him the chance to become one of the best players in the world,“ explained Kompany
The Belgian is particularly impressed by the attacking player’s attention to detail: „He is very detail-oriented in his approach to his tasks,“ emphasized the 39-year-old
Kompany even drew a comparison with one of his former team-mates: Kevin De Bruyne. „I don’t really want to compare players because they are different, but I played with Kevin De Bruyne and was lucky enough to watch him as a young player who developed into a superstar,“ explained the Bayern coach
The key to his development was a special mentality. „He had this obsession with details. Michael has that too,“ said Kompany
Kompany calls for further development
Despite the high praise, the Bayern coach still sees further development potential in Olise. „But that’s not enough. We have to get him to perform even better, but he’s on a very good path,“ explained Kompany
The Frenchman himself remained reserved as usual after his gala performance. The attacking player traditionally avoids big words about his own performance. „It was a really good game and I feel very good,“ Olise explained after the match
Although he was satisfied with his performance, he was already focusing on the second leg in Munich. „Now they have to come to our stadium, so we’ll go there with the same mentality and try to win again,“ said the Bayern star.
