Michael Olise Stars for Bayern With Five Contributions, Stays Silent After Freiburg Rout

His refusal to give mixed‑zone interviews since 2023 has prompted bemused acknowledgment from sporting director Max Eberl.

Overview

  • Bayern beat Freiburg 6-2 as Olise delivered two goals and three assists, taking his season tally to nine goals and ten assists in 19 appearances.
  • After the match he walked through the mixed zone without speaking, declined a French reporter's request, posed for a selfie with a fan, and exited.
  • Since his 2023 move from Crystal Palace for a reported €51 million plus bonuses, he has not given any voluntary mixed-zone interviews.
  • Max Eberl joked that five scorer points are not enough to prompt an interview and said with a wink that he would ask Olise about it.
  • Teammate Aleks Pavlovic described Olise as friendly and humorous in the locker room, contrasting with his public reticence.
