Bayern Munich Thrash Werder Bremen 5-0, Olise and Kane Star

Bayern Munich Thrash Werder Bremen 5-0, Olise and Kane Star

By September 22, 2024 0

Bayern Munich continued their dominant start to the Bundesliga season with a resounding 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen on Saturday. Michael Olise, the summer signing from Crystal Palace, was the star of the show, scoring twice and assisting on two more goals. Harry Kane also got on the scoresheet, continuing his impressive form since joining Bayern from Tottenham.

Olise opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, finishing off a pass from Kane. He then turned provider, setting up Jamal Musiala for Bayern’s second goal shortly after. Kane extended Bayern’s lead in the 57th minute, tapping in a pass from Olise. Olise then scored his second goal of the game, before Kane set up Serge Gnabry to make it five.

The win was Bayern’s fourth in four Bundesliga matches this season, and they now sit top of the table. Werder Bremen, on the other hand, have lost their last three league games and are now in the relegation zone.

Olise’s performance was particularly impressive, as he showed his versatility and creativity in attack. He was a constant threat to the Werder Bremen defense, and his goals and assists were crucial in Bayern’s victory.

Kane also continued his fine form for Bayern, scoring his 10th goal in six games in all competitions. The England captain is now Bayern’s leading scorer this season, and he is quickly becoming a fan favorite in Munich.

Bayern will now turn their attention to next Saturday’s match against Bayer Leverkusen. Leverkusen are one of Bayern’s main rivals for the Bundesliga title, and the match will be a key test of Bayern’s credentials.

Michael Olise Earns French National Team Call-Up After Olympic Success

Michael Olise Earns French National Team Call-Up After Olympic Success

By August 29, 2024 0

English-born winger Michael Olise has been rewarded for his impressive performances for France at the Olympics by being called up to the full French national team for the start of their UEFA Nations League campaign next month. The 22-year-old, who was born and brought up in London to a Nigerian father and French-Algerian mother, was arguably the standout player in Thierry Henry’s France team that won the Olympic silver medal at the Paris Games earlier this month.

Olise has also recently joined Bayern Munich from Crystal Palace for a reported 60 million euros ($66.6m), off the back of scoring 10 goals in 19 games in the Premier League last season.

“Michael did great things with Thierry Henry’s Olympic team and he has moved up into a new category with his transfer to Bayern Munich,” coach Didier Deschamps told reporters. “It is quite logical that he should now come with us. He still has progress to make but potentially he has a lot of quality.”

France host Italy at the Parc des Princes in Paris next Friday, September 6, before taking on Belgium three days later in Lyon.

Olise is not the only member of the Olympic squad to make the step up, with 23-year-old Borussia Moenchengladbach midfielder Manu Kone also getting the call from Deschamps.

There is also a return to the squad for Chelsea centre-back Wesley Fofana, 23, whose only cap so far came in a Euro 2024 qualifier against Gibraltar over a year ago.

Kylian Mbappe will feature for France for the first time since making his debut for new club Real Madrid.

Players who went to Euro 2024 in Germany — where France reached the semi-final — but have been left out this time, include Inter Milan defender Benjamin Pavard, Bayern winger Kingsley Coman, and midfielder Adrien Rabiot. The latter was a regular at the Euros but his absence from the squad is related to the fact he currently has no club after leaving Juventus when his contract expired.

Veteran striker Olivier Giroud, now playing for Major League Soccer outfit Los Angeles FC, retired from international duty after the European Championship.

Les Bleus, who won the Nations League in 2021, will also play Israel in League A Group 2, with remaining matches taking place in October and November.

Kompany Confident Ahead of Bayern Munich Debut Despite Relegation with Burnley

Kompany Confident Ahead of Bayern Munich Debut Despite Relegation with Burnley

By August 24, 2024 0

Vincent Kompany, the newly appointed Bayern Munich coach, exudes confidence ahead of his Bundesliga debut against Wolfsburg on Sunday. Despite overseeing Burnley’s relegation from the Premier League last season, the 38-year-old Belgian has been entrusted with the daunting task of restoring Bayern’s dominance in German football.

Bayern’s trophyless campaign last season, their first in 11 years, has cast a shadow over the club. Bayer Leverkusen’s impressive domestic double has raised the stakes for Kompany, who is determined to prove his worth.

Kompany, who previously coached Anderlecht and guided them to the 2022 Belgian Cup final, expressed satisfaction with Bayern’s preparations for the season opener. “I’m not nervous, but it’s a big challenge,” he said. “We’ve prepared well, and now it’s up to the players.”

Kompany acknowledged the formidable challenge posed by Leverkusen, who opened their campaign with a victory on Friday. “They were phenomenal last season,” he said. “We’ll need around 90 points for the title again, so we need maximum performance from everyone.”

The Belgian coach hinted at the potential debuts of Michael Olise and Joao Palhinha, who joined Bayern from Crystal Palace and Fulham, respectively. “There’s a good chance they’ll play a lot this season,” he said.

Wolfsburg, Bayern’s opponents on Sunday, have not defeated the Bavarian giants in 20 matches dating back to 2015. Kompany is aware of the challenge but remains optimistic. “We’re excited and ready to start the season,” he said.

Five New Faces to Watch in the 2024-25 Bundesliga Season

Five New Faces to Watch in the 2024-25 Bundesliga Season

By August 22, 2024 0

The upcoming 2024-25 Bundesliga season promises to be an exciting one, with several new faces set to make their mark on the German top flight. Here’s a closer look at five players to watch:

Michael Olise (Bayern Munich)

Bayern Munich’s most expensive signing this summer, Olise is a speedy winger with a knack for scoring goals. The 22-year-old impressed at Crystal Palace last season, contributing 10 goals and 6 assists in just 19 Premier League appearances. His arrival adds depth and attacking threat to Bayern’s already formidable squad.

Pascal Gross (Borussia Dortmund)

Despite his age, Gross brings experience and creativity to Dortmund’s midfield. The 33-year-old German international has spent the last seven years at Brighton, where he was twice named the club’s player of the season. His ability to create chances and score goals could be crucial for Dortmund’s title aspirations.

Aleix Garcia (Bayer Leverkusen)

Garcia was a key figure in Girona’s surprise third-place finish in La Liga last season. The 27-year-old Spanish midfielder provides Leverkusen with additional midfield security and creativity. His ability to control the tempo of the game and contribute defensively will be invaluable to coach Xabi Alonso.

Deniz Undav (Stuttgart)

Undav was one of the standout performers in Stuttgart’s impressive second-place finish last season. The German forward scored 13 goals in 31 Bundesliga appearances, helping the club secure a return to the Champions League. With several key players departing, Undav will be even more crucial to Stuttgart’s success this season.

Antonio Nusa (RB Leipzig)

Leipzig have a reputation for developing young talent, and Nusa is the latest addition to their impressive roster. The 19-year-old Norwegian winger arrived from Club Brugge for a reported fee of 22 million euros. He scored on his debut for Leipzig and is expected to play a significant role in replacing Dani Olmo, who departed for Barcelona.

These five new faces are just a few of the players to watch in the upcoming Bundesliga season. With a mix of experience, talent, and potential, they are sure to make an impact on the German top flight.

Manchester United Thrashed 4-0 by Crystal Palace, European Hopes Fading

Manchester United Thrashed 4-0 by Crystal Palace, European Hopes Fading

By May 7, 2024 0

Manchester United’s hopes of European football next season suffered a major blow as they were thrashed 4-0 by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday. The defeat leaves United in eighth place in the Premier League table with just 54 points from 35 games, two points behind Newcastle United in sixth.

A makeshift United defense, which included Casemiro at center-back, was easily exploited by Palace on several occasions. Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell were also on the scoresheet for the impressive win, while Michael Olise scored a brace.

United had several injury absentees and were without Bruno Fernandes, but the ease with which they were beaten will be a huge concern for everyone at the club.

“A big disappointment. We just had an off-day and we weren’t in it,” midfielder Christian Eriksen told BBC. “It is what it is. We can’t really change the injury things. We have to do what we can on the pitch to change it.”

“Today it didn’t matter who we played. Everyone could have done better. We tried to do what we could but we were not good enough. We’ll take the blame as players.”

It is the first time in the Premier League era that United have lost 13 games in a season, and the scoreline could have been worse.

The home side took the lead inside 12 minutes as Olise collected a throw and evaded a limp challenge from Casemiro. With no United player attempting to close him down, he was able to unleash a low shot from just inside the box.

It was 2-0 five minutes before the break as Mateta breezed past United defender Jonny Evans and thrashed the ball into the net for a ninth goal in 11 games since the arrival of Glasner in February.

The striker had scored 11 goals in his previous 80 games for Palace before that.

United’s makeshift defense was struggling to contain the movement of their hosts, and when Diogo Dalot failed to deal with a ball to the back post, Mitchell had a tap-in.

Olise’s second goal added more salt to the wound, and it could have been worse for the visitors as Odsonne Edouard saw his shot come back off the woodwork late on.

“I think we could have got a few more. That shows the potential we have to play against any team in the league,” Palace defender Chris Richards said.
