Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise surprised local soccer enthusiasts in New York City by unexpectedly participating in a public recreational match. Having recently concluded his international campaign with France at the World Cup, the 24-year-old was seen playing in socks, earning him widespread praise for his deep love for the game.
Olise joins the Street Match
Just days after concluding his international duties with France at the World Cup, Bayern winger Olise surprised New York City residents by joining an amateur soccer match. Participated in a recreational game organized through the GoodRec community platform on a public field. Surprisingly, the former Crystal Palace star played without wearing football boots, but instead in socks and baggy pants.
Fans praise the French star
Despite playing in only socks, Olise still showed flashes of his technical brilliance on the field, including his signature move of cutting in from the right flank with his left foot. After the conclusion of the match, the Frenchman posed for photographs with all the participants, prompting GoodRec to share the moment on social media: “He beats us even in his socks. Thank you for coming to a GoodRec match in New York City!”
The winger shines in the tournament
This spontaneous appearance capped an impressive period for Olise, who stood out throughout the World Cup by setting a new record with seven assists for Les Bleus. That achievement builds on his sensational statistics for Bayern last season, where he scored 22 goals and 31 assists in 52 appearances in all competitions. His presence on a public field in New York reinforces his reputation as a footballer who possesses a genuine and pure passion for the game.
Bayern prepares for the restart of the preseason
Olise will now enjoy a period of vacation before returning to Bayern’s headquarters for pre-season training. The Bundesliga giants are under pressure to quickly manage the physical recovery of their top stars who reached the latter stages of the World Cup ahead of the upcoming domestic and European campaigns. Naturally, Bayern fans will hope that their winger’s extraordinary form continues smoothly into the new season.
