Kompany: I didn't make Olise world-class, he had it within himself
Post
๐ฐ Vincent Kompany says Michael Olise's rise to world-class level is down to natural talent, not his coaching.
๐ Key points
๐๏ธ Kompany spoke about Olise in an interview with RTL and Sky.
๐
He said making a player world-class is impossible.
๐ He praised Olise for seeing things others do not, even in training.
๐ He called Olise a special player in world football.
๐งญ He said a coach's job is to show players the next steps.
๐ What happened
๐๏ธ Speaking to RTL and Sky Sport in Germany, Kompany said: "I believe a player with Michael Olise's talent always makes it; he would always be one of the best players."
๐ He added that Olise always has an eye for things others might not see, in training too, and that this has already made him a special player in world football.
๐
"Turning a player into a world-class player is impossible; he has that within himself," Kompany said, playing down his own role. He explained that Bayern can only show players the next steps and keep them hungry.
๐ซ๐ท Olise, 24, was named the Bundesliga's Player of the Month for September and came off the bench to score twice in France's 4-1 comeback win over Belgium during the international break.
