Michael Olise made an immediate impact in his first start for Bayern Munich, scoring a sensational goal just 12 minutes into the Bavarian club's friendly match against Swiss side Grasshoppers. The 22-year-old winger unleashed a left-footed volley into the far corner from inside the penalty area, quickly winning over Bayern fans.
Supporters were ecstatic about Olise's performance, with one fan stating,
"What a complete player. He plays like he doesn't have a care in the world!" Another fan commented, "The Olise hype train is being justified every day." A third wrote, "I can't believe my eyes, Olise is unreal," while another added, "Olise is hitting 40 G+A this season."
Bayern Munich dominated the match, securing a 4-0 victory. Harry Kane doubled the lead two minutes into the second half, followed by goals from Mathys Tel and Thomas Müller to seal the win.
Olise's goal came just days after he made his first contribution for Bayern in a DFB-Pokal clash against second-tier side Ulm. Coming on as a substitute, he assisted Kingsley Coman's goal within two minutes of his arrival on the pitch.
Olise joined Bayern Munich earlier this summer in a £60 million transfer deal, turning down a move to Chelsea. Reflecting on his decision, Olise explained,
"The talks with FC Bayern were very positive, and I’m very happy to now be playing for such a big club. It's a great challenge, and that's exactly what I was looking for. I want to prove myself at this level and help the team win as many titles as possible."
The French winger began his youth career at Chelsea's academy before joining Manchester City. He later moved to Reading, where he made his professional debut and quickly became one of the standout players in the Championship. Last season, Olise scored ten goals for Crystal Palace, marking his best campaign in the Premier League.
With a strong start at Bayern Munich, Olise looks set to have a breakthrough season with the Bundesliga champions. Fans are already predicting big things for the talented winger, who could become a key figure in Bayern’s title pursuits this season.
