Kylian Mbappé on Michael Olise: ‘He saves his words; his feet do the talking for him.’

Kylian Mbappé on Michael Olise: ‘He saves his words; his feet do the talking for him.’ Ahead of France’s FIFA World Cup opener against Senegal, captain Kylian Mbappé (27) has spoken to  L’Équipe  about the 25 other players included in  Les Bleus’  squad, including Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise (24).  Olise goes into the World Cup as one of the most in-form players. At club level, the former Crystal Palace forward had an exceptional campaign, registering 22 goals and 31 assists in 52 games in all competitions. Including games with Les Bleus,  he is now on 60 goal contributions after he netted a hat-trick in France’s 3-0 win in Lille on Monday night.  Speaking in a post-match press conference attended by  Get French Football News,  Deschamps was full of praise for Olise: “He is radiant through the season he has had at Bayern and with us as well. He is full of confidence. He is so decisive.” ‘Olise is the player of today and tomorrow’ – Mbappé Deschamps added that Olise was an “ introverted”  character, and that isn’t lost on Mbappé either.  “Now, we speak French together. He speaks well. But he has this personality that means that you, in the media, you’ll never know if his French is improving or not because he won’t speak to you too much! He doesn’t like that; that’s how he is. Michael is introverted. He saves his words; his feet do the talking for him,”  said Mbappé. The Real Madrid forward added,  “Accept him how he is. He will never change. In addition to being an extraordinary player, he is a great person […] Olise is the player of today and tomorrow. He has this elegance, this vision in his game. I get on very well with him.” GFFN | Luke Entwistle
