A former Algerian international tried to seduce Michael Olise into choosing to wear the Algeria jersey. This is Adlène Guedioura (62 caps), who explained on beIN Sports to have “tried to convince him to choose Algeria when he played at Crystal Palace”. But his attempt did not bear fruit, Michael Olise remaining faithful to his convictions to play for the France team.
The attacking midfielder also said a year ago: “my choice to represent France was natural, I always had the feeling of playing for France”. Today, he seems fully fulfilled in his career. Indeed, with Bayern Munich, he is currently going through the best period of his career with already 16 goals and 25 assists in all competitions, establishing himself as one of the most prolific players in world football. And he will undoubtedly be one of the most important factors for the Blues for the 2026 World Cup.
