Thierry Henry: Olise France's Most Important Player, He's From Another Planet

Former French national team striker, Thierry Henry, stated that national team midfielder, Michael Olise, is the most important player in the squad. "The MVP will always be Kylian thanks to his crucial role. However, the most important player is Michael Olise. He is a monster, he sees the scene very quickly and differently from the others. Technical players often forget about defending, but not him. I was lucky to be able to coach him. In training, I had to restrain myself from shouting 'Wow!', because coaches are not supposed to act like that. I said to my assistant, 'Did you see that?' He's from another planet," Henry told FOX Sports. In the season that just ended, Olise played for Bayern Munich and appeared in 57 matches, scoring 25 goals and providing 28 assists. He won the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal titles with the club, was declared the best player in the team, and was also the Bundesliga's best player. The French national team continues its journey at the 2026 World Cup and is preparing for the round of 16 match against Paraguay.
