Franck Ribéry for FC Bayern stood on the lawn for over ten years and performed at world class level as a wing player. At the “Beckenbauer Cup” he commented on his possible successor.
In the summer of last year, Michael Olise came to FC Bayern for a transfer fee of 53 million euros from the English Premier League club Crystal Pacae. Since then, the wing player has completed 40 games, was 20 times in the starting eleven this season. The 23-year-old has been able to deliver 13 goals and 11 templates so far.
He is undoubtedly one of the discoveries of this season. A remarkable performance that was not unnoticed even with a club icon of FC Bayern. Franck Ribéry was also there at the Beckenbauer Cup on Monday evening.
After the Munich tournament, the 41-year-old was asked by T-Online about his compatriot Olise and asked about his qualities. Ribéry emphasized that he likes the right wing “good”.
FC Bayern’s 124-fold scorer added: “I’m happy for him. He is still young, so far it is just good. It is not easy if you as a young player come to such a big club and don’t speak the language. He does it very well.”
The Munich’s ex-star also spoke of the fact that Bayern was a large club and thus automatically loads pressure on the players. Due to Ribéry’s great success and past in Munich, the pressure for Olise, which is already compared to him, is even greater. So will Michael Olise be the next ribéry? “I hope it,” said the Frenchman. Franck Ribéry made 425 games in the dress of Bayern from 2007 to 2019 and, in addition to his 124 goals, 182 templates.
