The French National team is stacked with talent, especially in offense. With the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembélé, Marcus Thuram, Kolo Muani and Bayern Munich’s own Kingsley Coman competing for just 3 spots, the onus will be on the players to show up consistently to get called up for major tournaments.
Bayern winger Michael Olise has his work cut out for him.
However, Antoine Griezmann, France’s griezzled veteran forward is of the opinion that Olise’s star will shine brightly for Les Bleus. Speaking to @telefoot_TF1 (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Griezmann lauded Olise’s on-ball ability and versatility as a forward.

This bodes really well for Bayern Munich’s forward lineup this season, given versatile forwards are always a huge asset to have, especially if they can finish chances with aplomb AND set their compatriots up. In 19 appearances in the 2023/24 Premier League season, Olise notched an incredible 10 goals and 6 assists.
For Crystal Palace.
Now put the same player around Jamal Musiala, Thomas Müller, and Harry Kane. And hopefully even Paul Wanner next season. The player is bound to receive space and great looks. What he does with that is indeed up to him.
Bayern Munich fans may be in for a treat.
