In a press conference, the French coach stated that "you haven't seen anything yet" regarding Olise's potential, emphasizing his contribution to the team and expressing his gratitude that Olise chose to play for France instead of England.
“Personally, I’m not surprised by what done and what he’s doing. He has enormous qualities, and you haven’t seen anything yet. Personally, that’s what I think. This is just the beginning. I hope so for his sake. Of Course, we’re not going to jinx him, but he’s a player you don’t often get players like that. I think you remember what I said at the start. So let’s forget about the game and what he can do. For me, it’s his desire to have wanted top play for the French team," Henry commented.
On another note, the new Bayern Munich player has had an excellent Olympic tournament, scoring two goals and providing four assists. He's been outstanding and is highly motivated to cap it off with an Olympic gold medal for France.
