Bayern Munich legend Thomas Müller has tipped Michael Olise to become a leader at the club in the near future.
He recently compared the France international to club legend Franck Ribery.
Speaking during an interview, Muller hailed Olise as a top performer who wants to constantly take responsibility on the pitch.
According to him, just like Ribery, the former Crystal Palace forward doesn’t even need to be vocal on the pitch to carry the team, and that makes him a unique asset to have.
“He can become the player who leads the way for Bayern in the future, as Franck Ribery did in my time,” he said.
He further insisted that Bayern Munich will not lack leadership after his departure, stressing that Aleksandar Pavlovic and Josip Stanisic are role models who embody what the club is all about.
Muller concluded by saying that Olise constantly wanting the ball from his teammates is the kind of subtle leadership Bayern needs on the pitch.
“Olise is a guy who clearly signals: ‘Give me the ball, I’ll take care of it!’ That’s how you can lead a team without being a big loudmouth,” he added.
