Kylian Mbappé's High Praise for Bayern Munich's Michael Olise and Dayot Upamecano

Mbappé has high admiration for FC Bayern’s Upa and Olise. France are one of the top contenders to win the upcoming World Cup, boasting a star-studded squad with world-class players in every position. The 1998 and 2018 World Cup winners are stacked with talent, making it difficult to bet against them. Their attacking line, featuring Kylian Mbappé, Michael Olise, and Ousmane Démébélé, is incredibly threatening, with players like Bradley Barcola, Desiré Doué, Marcus Thuram, and Jean-Philippe Mateta on reserve.

For Bayern Munich, Olise and Dayot Upamecano are part of the French squad, both of whom are regular selections in Didier Deschamps' teams and had a fantastic domestic double season with the German Rekordmeister. Ahead of their first match against Senegal, Mbappé praised each of his France teammates in an interview with L'Equipe.

Speaking highly of Olise, Mbappé described him as 'the player of today and tomorrow' with elegance and vision in his game. He gets along well with Olise, who is an introvert and chooses his words carefully. However, his feet do the talking, showcasing his exceptional abilities, and Mbappé admires his humility and grounded nature. The Real Madrid striker even compared Olise to Thierry Henry, who managed Olise on the French U-21 side and shared similar admiration for his movement on the ball and humble character.

In terms of Upamecano, Mbappé believes he's in one of the best phases of his career and is among the top defenders worldwide. He's had a successful season, consistently performing at a high level without dips in form. Mbappé appreciates Upamecano's combination of shyness and self-confidence, describing him as 'great to have around.'
