With his fifth goal of the season, Bayern’s star striker Harry Kane has taken the lead in the Bundesliga’s goal-scoring list. However, the match winner in Munich’s impressive 5-0 win over Werder Bremen was someone else: Michael Olise scored twice on the Weser and provided the assists for two more goals.
“Michael was a constant threat,” Kane praised the 22-year-old right winger, who came from Crystal Palace for 53 million euros before the season. “First and foremost, he is a really good player. He is also a top lad. He enjoys being in Munich,” Kane said of the French international.
First comparisons with Arjen Robben
With his speed and dribbling, Olise repeatedly caused huge problems for Bremen. “He has a great mentality, always wants to improve, always wants more goals and assists. That’s a great attitude. Because you have to be hungry to develop. And that’s exactly what he is,” Kane praised the London-born Olise.
After his gala performance, some wanted to compare the Frenchman with the Dutchman Arjen Robben, who had shone for ten years at Bayern from 2009 to 2019. “It’s a big comparison, there’s still a long way to go. Robben was one of the best in the world in his position,” said Kane about the comparison. “But Michael enjoys his football, enjoys his time in Munich. He was fantastic today.”
Eberl praises Olise’s defensive action
Sporting director Max Eberl also saw it that way. However, Eberl did not highlight one of Olise’s two goals or another offensive scene, but rather a defensive move by the Frenchman shortly after the break. “When Bremen had played through, Michael Olise cleared the ball in his own penalty area – that’s Bayern Munich!” said Eberl.
