After going the month of November without scoring a goal, Michael Olise had his scoring boots back on today, bagging a brace in Bayern Munich’s crucial 5-1 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.
This victory takes Bayern to 12 points and into the top eight in the table ahead of Wednesday’s fixtures and means that, despite some early bumps in the road, the Bavarians are getting back on the track to automatically qualifying for the Round of 16. But such success requires the coach to supply a successful system for the players. And such a successful system, one currently in place at Bayern courtesy of head coach Vincent Kompany, hinges on how much players enjoy their football.
“I think when you’re in a system that suits your style of play and that everyone’s happy with and enjoying playing in, then it’s simple to just come in and enjoy your football – and not think about anything else,” Olise states after the match against Shakhtar, via @iMiaSanMia.
“So can the team take any happiness from how they have rescued the club’s spot in the Champions League standings? “We’re just trying to take it game by game. I don’t really look too much at the standings, we just play our games and see where it takes us.”
