Thierry Henry has spoken warmly about Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, recalling how badly the player wanted to take part in the Paris Olympics in 2024. In an interview with the Kampo podcast, the former France striker described the attacker’s determination to be part of the Games.
A Coach’s Memory of a Determined Young Talent
Henry worked with Olise when he was in charge of France’s Espoirs (under-21) and Olympic teams. Speaking on the podcast, he made clear that the forward was focused on one goal: playing at the Olympic Games in Paris.
According to Henry, Olise was in regular contact with him about the tournament. The former Arsenal legend’s account of the player’s persistence offers a glimpse of the ambition that Olise carried during his time with the French youth setup.
Looking Back on the Paris Games
Henry’s comments highlight the bond between the two men and the importance the Olympics held for a player who has since become a key figure at Bayern Munich. The remarks show how much the Paris tournament meant to Olise at a time when he was building his career at the highest level.
