Germany is already pushing Michael Olise towards the 2027 Ballon d’Or
In Germany, Michael Olise continues to impress and is already raising great ambitions. Bayern Munich crushed Magdeburg 6-1, with two goals and an assist from the Frenchman, while Harry Kane remained on the bench. And for the German press, there is no question of waiting several years before imagining Olise at the top of world football: the daily Abendzeitung who is interested in his case already sees in him a serious candidate for the 2027 Ballon d’Or. It must be said that the Frenchman finished in ninth place in the last ranking, despite a particularly convincing season, and that he had largely contributed to Kane’s coronation. In the German press, it is even estimated that the next winner could well be Olise himself. “ Next time it could be him », writes the newspaper AZwhich also recalls the humility of the player, who had willingly put his teammate forward. But with performances of this level and a superb panenka against Magdeburg, Olise is already starting to send a very clear message: he will have to be counted on in the race for the greatest individual awards!
Soldier Estevão must be saved
In England, Estevão’s situation is beginning to raise serious questions. Eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Liverpool after a penalty shootout, Chelsea notably experienced a complicated evening for several of their young talents. But it is especially the case of the Brazilian who calls out to the English press: according to the BBCthe former Blues offensive phenomenon has gradually disappeared from the radar, with only 31 minutes played in the club’s last six matches. And the observation is particularly worrying for the one who was still presented as a solution to Chelsea’s offensive problems. Asked about his situation, Xabi Alonso admitted that Estevão “ could be happier », while promising that the Brazilian would have his moment of glory. But The Sun goes further and already evokes desires for elsewhere in the player. A scenario which would obviously be far from the plans of the Blues, who should not let one of their greatest hopes slip away so easily. It now remains to be seen whether Estevão will quickly find playing time again to relaunch his London adventure.
The French press warns of the dilemma of the Titis of PSG
In France, The Team wonders about the future of young people trained at PSG. “ The youth dilemma », headlines the daily, which underlines the difficulty for the Titis to find a place in a Parisian workforce where opportunities remain rare. If some talents have managed to break through, many ultimately prefer to try their luck elsewhere, like Ibrahim Mbaye, who left for Aston Villa last summer. And the newspaper does not mince its words: “ Titis, it’s too undermined “. Between limited playing time and competition among professionals, the Parisian team is still struggling to offer real continuity to its young people. And the trajectories are sometimes very different after a departure. Ethan Mbappé has notably established himself as one of Lille’s important players, while Emmanuel Mbemba is starting to show off with Paris FC. Enough to relaunch the debate on the place given to young people at PSG. At the same time, Lucas Digne is going through a complicated period since his return to the capital, to the point that Luis Enrique now prefers Lucas Hernandez. A delicate situation for the French international, who will have to convince his coach.
