Free-scoring Bayern Munich extended their perfect Bundesliga start when Michael Olise scored two goals and set up two more to give them a 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen in a one-sided contest at the Weserstadion on Saturday.
The Bavarians, who suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Bremen when the sides last met in a league clash in January, ran out comfortable winners to move up to 12 points from four matches.
Winger Olise, signed from Premier League club Crystal Palace for a reported fee of 60 million euros in July, has quickly established himself in the first team.
He once again repaid manager Vincent Kompany’s faith as he was heavily involved in Bayern’s attack.
Bayern, who have scored 20 goals in three matches across all competitions, opened the scoring in the 23rd minute when Harry Kane seized possession on the edge of the area and played the ball to Olise, who fired his shot past keeper Michael Zetterer.
The French winger then wriggled his way into Bremen’s penalty area in the 32nd minute and his cutback was turned home by Musiala.
Bayern continued their onslaught after the break and Olise teed up Kane for a shot from the edge of the box, which led to the striker’s 41st Bundesliga goal.
That made him the highest-scoring English player in the German top flight’s history.
Olise netted his fifth goal in three matches with a delightful sidefooted finish into the top corner and substitute Serge Gnabry wrapped up the scoring in the 65th minute.
FC Bayern Munich’s head coach, Vincent Kompany, who took charge of his first UEFA Champions League (UCL) game with Bayern on Tuesday night with a 9-2 thumping of Dinamo Zagreb, has replied his critics who think the German Bundesliga club is bigger than him.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Kompany was appointed as the new head coach of Bayern Munich on on 29 May 2024, signing a three-year deal and taking over from Thomas Tuchel after the club failed to win trophies in the preceding season.
Kompany is said to have a passing and possession-based style of football as a coach similar to his former Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, but his critics have said the Bayern Munich job is bigger than him.
Addressing his skeptics, Kompany said: “I’d love to elaborate on the question. But it’s a simple job. I love working with the players, I try to improve them, I try to improve the team, I try to improve myself. It’s not really something I should answer. I could give you a deep answer, but it doesn’t really deserve it.
“I’ll tell you something in a quick way just to prove a point. I was born in Brussels, my dad was a refugee who came from Congo. What are my chances of even playing in the Premier League, winning something as a player, playing for the national team? The odds were 0.000 something. Now I’m a coach.
“Do you just stop believing in yourself and what you can achieve because of what other people say?. The mentality is to keep going and in the end if you fail you fail, if you succeed you succeed. but you can always become better. Online you can always find stuff so I really don’t take it personal.
“What am I supposed to do? Stop because of what other people think? Let’s encourage people to succeed and break barriers”.
Harry Kane scored four to inspire Bayern Munich to a wild 9-2 thumping of Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday night. Bayern went ahead through Kane’s penalty before Raphael Guerreiro and Michael Olise had them cruising at 3-0 at half-time.
The hosts conceded twice early in the second half as Manuel Neuer went off with a knock, but Kane and Olise soon re-established their dominance before the England skipper got his hat-trick from the spot and scored his fourth also via a penalty. There was even time for Leroy Sané and Leon Goretzka to swell the score.
Premier League club West Ham United and Bayern Munich have agreed a deal for the former to sign Noussair Mazraoui.
The right-back could be arriving at the Hammers in the coming days for a medical.
Per Sky Germany, the deal includes a fee of £13 million, which could rise through add-ons of a few million.
Mazraoui had also been on the radar of Manchester United, but they have not made a move.
The Red Devils do have Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka as their full-back options.
The latter was linked to West Ham earlier this summer, but they have now secured a right-back.
Bayern Munich new boy, Michael Olise has revealed the country he would be playing for.
Reports coming from France states that Olise has agreed to switch nationality and play for the French national team.
Former Arsenal and France striker, Thierry Henry has also confirm the report.
It would be recalled that last month, Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate admitted that the FA were monitoring the 22-year-old.
This followed the decision of Didier Deschamps to leave Olise out of his squad for Euro 2024.
Olise was born in Hammersmith to a Nigerian father and French-Algerian mother.
This means he is eligible to represent all four countries at international level.
But according to Henry, he prefers to play for France.
Henry said: “We know that he has plenty of possibilities but he wants to play for France. You have to highlight his desire to show that he wants to play for the French team.
“If he was English, he would have already left to play for England. He could have made the other choice and played the Euros with the England team, like his team-mate Eberechi Eze at Crystal Palace but he wants to play for France, knowing that he wouldn’t play in the Euros.”
Levi Colwill sees his future with Premier League side Chelsea.

Colwill is excited by the prospect of working with new manager Enzo Maresca next seasn.
