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.

"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.
