Michael Olise continues to impress fans, pundits, and observers alike. Outstanding in France’s 3-0 victory over Iraq at the 2026 World Cup, the Bayern Munich attacking midfielder once again showcased his exceptional vision by providing two assists.
Olise keeps raising his level with every match. For former France international Bixente Lizarazu, the ex-Crystal Palace star has become an indispensable part of Didier Deschamps’ attacking setup. The World Cup winner believes France has finally found the true playmaker it has been missing for years.
Olise Emerging as France’s New Playmaker
“Michael Olise is, for me, the key piece of this France attack. We have outstanding forwards, excellent wingers like Barcola, Doué, and Dembélé, as well as top-class goalscorers such as Mbappé,” Lizarazu explained while praising the midfielder’s influence on the national team.

Lizarazu sees Olise as a genuine conductor of the game, a role reminiscent of legendary French playmakers from the past. He highlighted the Bayern star’s creativity, vision, and ability to feed attacking teammates, describing him as a magnificent player who constantly causes problems for opposing defenses. Even without wearing the iconic No. 10 shirt, Olise is increasingly filling that traditional playmaker role.
After an exceptional season with Bayern Munich and a series of impressive performances on the world stage, Olise is confirming his status as one of the brightest talents in French football. Many already view him as the natural heir to the great creators who have shaped the history of the French national team.
