FC Bayern is looking forward to the second duel with Real Madrid. Former star Robben raves about a player who could decide the game in Munich’s favor.
The most important game of the season so far for FC Bayern is on Wednesday evening: Munich will host Real Madrid for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Michael Olise was one of the key players in the 2-1 win in Spain. Arjen Robben now raved about the Frenchman.
“I really liked him. Of course that’s my position too. He was very good – played actively and creatively and had very good ball actions,” said the ex-professional in an interview with “fcbayern.com”. He didn’t just like Olise in the game in Madrid, but in numerous appearances in Bayern’s uniform: “He’s doing it really well. I’m very happy about that and I can enjoy it too.”
The 24-year-old usually plays on the right wing in Munich and likes to move inwards with his strong left foot – like Robben once did. “There are certainly some parallels,” admits the Dutchman. However, he doesn’t think much of being compared to Olise: “You always have to be careful with comparisons. I actually don’t like it that much because every player has their own character.”
Looking ahead to the second leg against Real, Robben sees Munich as having an advantage. “This is a machine that runs and I believe it will run until the end,” predicted the former Bayern star. Nevertheless, the FCB should be warned: “It’s still football, there can always be a situation where there is a red card or something like that. Of course you have to be careful about that. You have to be there for these 95 minutes.”
