Olise is French, but he can't speak the language, his interview goes viral
Michael Olise

Michael Olise is the player who has excelled this season. Bayern Munich holds on to their jewel, who has also made the difference in the Champions League. Now everyone is waiting to see him shine in the World Cup, with the French jersey. Olise was born to a Nigerian father and a Franco-Algerian mother. This combination has given him the opportunity to be eligible for four national teams: England, France, Nigeria and Algeria. The striker chose France, but he has one problem: he does not know how to speak the language well.

An example was seen during yesterday's awards ceremony. Michael Olise received the UNFP Trophy (a prize given by Ligue 1) as the best French player playing abroad. The footballer was immediately interviewed by a French television station, but something went wrong: he couldn't answer. "Michael, what does this trophy mean to you?" the journalist asks the player, who tries to answer in French: "Ah, thank you. Erm, I can't. Oh no, but are we live?"

The player is struggling, he still can't express himself well in French, despite representing France in football. Someone from the production runs to calm him down: "No, no, we're not live" - ​​and so the player calms down -. "Can we start again?" Olise continued the interview in English. But why? The footballer was born in Hammersmith, London and grew up in England.

He has progressed through the academies of English clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Reading and has lived continuously in the United Kingdom until his transfer to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2024. As a result, English is his native language and the one he has used every day for more than 22 years.

Olise doesn't know how to speak French, but he's now taking lessons.

Although his mother is French, the main language at home has always been English. He himself has stated in several interviews: “My mother is French, I used to go to France when I was little and I have this connection, but I speak English much better.” Despite not speaking French fluently, Oliseh has always shown a preference for the French national team since the youth teams.

From a sporting point of view, since he moved to Bayern Munich and began to regularly attend the first national team group – where official interviews often require the use of French – Olise has started to take lessons. However, in quick interviews like this, he still prefers to answer in English to avoid misunderstandings, showing a very shy and reserved character.
