Olise names his two idols in football

Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise has said that 1998 World Cup winners Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry were his idols while growing up as a child.

Olise spoke at a press conference held at Clairefontaine ahead of France’s clash with Italy in a UEFA Nations League clash at the Parc des Princes in Paris.

The former Crystal Palace star had received his first call-up to France’s senior national team.

The 22-year-old is now set to play a cap-tying game for France on Friday.

Speaking about his idols, Olise said: “Zidane, Henry. There are a lot of quality players in this selection but I like these two players.”
