France superstar Michael Olise’s meteoric rise has been something to behold. The former Crystal Palace man went from being an exciting addition to a crowded Bayern Munich winger group, to Bundesliga rookie of the year, to oh boy was that first season not a fluke…to hero for Les Bleus at the World Cup.
“Yes, Michael, as everyone can see, he’s a star,” France and ******* nal defender William Saliba said at the press conference ahead of tomorrow’s World Cup match against Iraq (as captured via iMiaSanMia).
Just don’t build a statue of him — yet. He’s merely on the trajectory, to being one of the all-timers.
“Of course, he’s still got a long way to go before he can be compared to [Michel] Platini or [Zinedine] Zidane,” Saliba added. “But in any case, it’s a pleasure to have him in our team. He’s a player who can do everything and who can break the deadlock in all sorts of situations. I hope that one day he’ll be in that league. But for now it’s a bit too early.”
What sets Olise apart? Not only his talent but his savvy: knowing when to break out everything in his skills locker and also knowing when to keep it simple.
