Michael Olise has been a revelation since the moment he arrived.
This season, the Bayern Munich winger has taken his game to another stratosphere. He is easily the world’s best winger at the moment and is a strong contender for the Ballon d’Or.
The magician has contributed to an OUTRAGEOUS 16 goals and 27 (!!!!!!) assists in just 39 appearances this season. That is over a goal contribution per appearance. His per-90 stats are even more mind-numbing. But behind all the aura-farming and the nonchalance lies a wonderful personality… the ideal team player.
In an interview by Sport Bild, as captured by @iMiaSanMia, fellow Bayern teammate Lennart Karl, a star in his own right, had nothing but praise for Olise. Apparently, his dressing room personality is quite different from the one his fans are used to. Karl remarked, “In the dressing room, he’s the complete opposite of the image the public has of him. He makes a lot of jokes and is very active with the team. Michael has a great sense of humor.”
Yes, we can add humour to the list.
Of course, the team loves him too. Karl added, “He’s very popular with the team and an outstanding footballer. He scores fantastic goals, provides assists, and is always there for the team.” We know Lenny, we know. The man is unstoppable and has been putting defenders in a blender all season. He is invaluable to the club, and there is absolutely no way Bayern might even remotely consider a sale. Lenny agrees.
“Michael is a regular starter at Bayern and has a very good environment here. That’s why I don’t think he’ll go anywhere else, but rather that he’ll stay at Bayern and be able to shape an era here.”
Oh yes, shape an era he will. Unfortunate for all those delusional Real Madrid and Liverpool fans. This spells the end of your wet dreams, folks. Olise is here to stay and raring to drive a stake through the hearts of opposition defenses.
Funny enough, the rendezvous with Real Madrid is just a few weeks away.
