Michael Olise certainly gave Viking FK something to remember, although the Frenchman’s antics may have left a worse impression than his footballing ability.
Viking midfielder Kristoffer Askildsen offered a brutally harsh assessment of Olise after the Bayern Munich winger’s controversial red card, admitting that his reaction to one particular moment was anything but flattering.
“When he threw the ball, I thought to myself — ‘What an idiot’,” Askildsen told TV2 (as reported by SPORT1 via iMiaSanMia).
It is fair to say that Olise did not cover himself in glory with that incident. The France international is one of Bayern Munich’s most gifted players, capable of producing moments of magic with his creativity, close control, and ability to unlock stubborn defenses. However, his dismissal was an entirely different story, potentially turning an already frustrating evening into an even more complicated affair for Vincent Kompany’s side.
For Bayern Munich, the incident serves as a reminder that technical brilliance means little if emotions get the better of a player at the wrong moment. Olise has become an increasingly important part of the team’s attacking setup, and Bayern will need him to maintain his composure in high-pressure situations.
There is no questioning Olise’s talent, but moments like this are precisely why discipline matters. Bayern Munich can ill afford to have one of its most dangerous attacking weapons become a liability when frustration takes over.
Maybe worse than all of that, though, Olise will now miss the Arsenal game next week due to suspension, which is expected to be one of the marquee matchups in the league phase this season.
