Bayern Munich came to Michael Olise's defense after the French winger's interview went viral following the victory over Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League. The 23-year-old player won over fans with his performance and his statements in the mixed zone.
The Bavarians' sporting director and Vincent Kompany, the team coach, publicly commented on the situation. Both defended the player, emphasizing that Olise shows he wants to play football and that the rest of the media discussions are indifferent to him.
The German team thrashed Bodo/Glimt 3-0, with Olise scoring one of the goals. The young Frenchman has been one of Bayern's main signings in the last transfer window, coming from Crystal Palace for around 45 million euros.
Olise's viral interview may have sparked some media attention, but the club made a point of minimizing any controversy, emphasizing that the player's focus is exclusively on his sporting performance.
