Michael Olise: Why the Number 10 Role Feels More Natural

Michael Olise: Why the Number 10 Role Feels More Natural — 1 of 2
1 / 2

Michael Olise says he feels most at home playing as a central attacking midfielder rather than out wide. Since his €60 million move from Crystal Palace to Bayern Munich in 2024, the France international has impressed on the wing but insists the No. 10 role gives him greater freedom and influence. Speaking to a French sports outlet, Olise explained he grew up in the playmaker position. He believes that operating behind the striker allows him to express his creativity more naturally on the pitch. In 107 appearances for Bayern Munich so far, Olise has contributed 42 goals and 54 assists, underlining why many see a future for him as a number 10 at both club and international level.

I'm not convinced central midfield will consistently showcase his best skills over the long season schedule.

Coaches should rotate him between both positions to maximize impact and keep opposition guessing each match.
