The future Bayern striker could be one of the stars of the French football team at the Olympics.

With an assist against Paraguay (4-1), a double against the Dominican Republic (5-0) including a half-volley, and a splendid left-footed strike to equalise against Japan (1-1), Michael Olise was the man in form for Thierry Henry and the French Olympic team during the preparation.
Olise has a special history and could have participated in the Olympics under another jersey, he who, in addition to being a versatile player, is a citizen of the world. Born in London to a Franco-Algerian mother and an Anglo-Nigerian father, the former Eagle has four nationalities and can therefore claim to play for the Blues, the Three LionsTHE Super Eagles or the Fennecs.”We know very well that he has several choices.. He wants to play for France, it must be stressed, he decided to play for the French team knowing that he was not going to the Euro. Maybe he could have gone with England, but he chose France” explained Thierry Henry. His decision can however change as long as he has not played a minute with the French A team.
