"Witness Michael Olise, the revamped number 10, playing live in the stadium at least once in his life. The player has taken the position for the French team."

Incredible performance by French midfielder Michael Olise against Ukraine (2-0 win on Friday), setting him apart from previous number 10s. With Antoine Griezmann's international retirement last year, the French national team is happily experiencing this new talent.

"Witness Michael Olise, the revamped number 10, playing live in the stadium at least once in his life. The player has taken the position for the French team."

In a thrilling display of skill and speed, Michael Olise, the 23-year-old French international, showcased his remarkable game reading during France's recent victory against Ukraine. Olise's nearly sixty-meter run during the opening goal was a testament to his exceptional abilities on the pitch.

The young star's performance has drawn comparisons to Antoine Griezmann, with both players sharing similarities in altruism, passing quality, efficiency, and game volume. However, Olise's speed sets him apart, making him a unique talent in the football world.

Patrick Guillou, a consultant for beIN Sports and Bundesliga specialist, has been impressed by Olise's performances. Guillou believes that Olise is a player who, when seen live, demonstrates the essence of football - grace, and oriented control. He goes on to liken Olise to an opera dancer, as the young star plays more on the balls of his feet.

Guillou also praised Olise's first touch and ability to attack defenders, often putting them off balance. Olise's technical skills were evident during the match against Ukraine, where he passed the ball most to Mbappé (8 passes), also serving Barcola and Dembélé four times each.

Olise's impressive form continued offensively, as he assisted during the match and scored a goal. His playing style at Bayern Munich, where he is used on the right side of the attack, is compared to that of Franck Ribéry or Arjen Robben, but with a more energy-efficient approach.

Last season, Olise managed an impressive 20 goals and 20 decisive passes, all competitions combined, and has already scored 4 goals this season. With Bayern Munich, Olise is set for promising days ahead.

Despite his impressive performances, Olise still needs to prove himself as a consistently high-performing player, as he aims to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors in the French national team.

As the World Cup Qualifications approach, Olise will be playing in the same group as other international teams. It remains to be seen how he will continue to grow and develop as a player, but one thing is certain - Olise's style of play heralds promising days ahead for French football.
