Piers Morgan Responds to Michael Olise Amid Bayern Interview Criticism

Piers Morgan Comments on Michael Olise After Bayern Player Faces Backlash

Piers Morgan, known for his outspoken views and support of Arsenal, shared his opinion after Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise came under fire following a post-match interview.

Olise was named Man of the Match after Bayern’s dominant 5-0 victory over Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League. During the DAZN interview, the French winger gave brief, blunt answers to questions, which frustrated some viewers.

The London-born player, who moved from Crystal Palace to Bayern for £50 million in 2024, has earned the nickname ‘Mr Nonchalant’ due to his often cool demeanor. Many fans criticized him online, calling his attitude rude, while others suggested Bayern should reconsider his media appearances.

Piers Morgan’s Take on Olise

Never shy to speak his mind, Piers Morgan responded to a tweet labeling Olise as "rude and annoying" by emphasizing the player's talent and his own admiration.

• Morgan's response: "... and a brilliant footballer. I'd take him at Arsenal in a heartbeat."

Olise’s performance against Bodo/Glimt highlighted his skill, scoring two spectacular goals including a 25-yard strike praised as one of the best in the Champions League opening round.

During the 2025-26 season, Olise was impressive, finishing with 22 goals and 31 assists across 52 games. This season, he has continued that form with five goals and two assists in just five matches.

Bayern’s View on Olise

The Bayern coaching staff seem unconcerned about Olise's media manner, focusing instead on his contributions on the pitch. Since joining, he has won two Bundesliga titles and two German Cups. He was also named Bayern’s Player of the Season twice and made the Bundesliga Team of the Season both years. There’s speculation he could contend for the Ballon d’Or soon.

• Olise’s achievements:
• Two Bundesliga championships
• Two German Cup wins
• Bayern Player of the Season (twice)
• Bundesliga Team of the Season (twice)

Despite the mixed reactions to his interview style, Olise remains a key figure for Bayern and continues to impress on the field.
