Absurd interview. Olise annoyed by the praise, the journalist explodes: "It's making my job difficult"

Michael Oliseh was one of the protagonists of Bayern Munich's 5-0 victory over Bodo/Glimt on the first day of the Champions League group stage. The Frenchman scored two of the five goals that the Germans scored against the Norwegian team and was undoubtedly one of the best on the pitch. At the end of the match, however, his interview immediately went viral. Not for any particular behavior of his or for a tense exchange of words, but for his rather unusual answers.

Olise was not at all banal in the face of the journalist's questions, to which he answered using very few words. He seemed to want to almost eliminate from the conversation that form of sensationalism that he perhaps perceived in the question. "You scored a great goal and were declared the player of the match", the journalist asks him, facing a firm answer from the footballer: "Yes, it's nice. I mean, it's the first match, we're happy". At this point the journalist insists, praising one of his two goals, but remains surprised and admits: "It's making my job difficult".

But what happened? Olise doesn't seem to like this excessive exaltation very much: "How easy is it to score goals like that, how can we define it?". "I don't know". The journalist insists: "I don't know? Really?". At that moment Olise is clear: "Well, shoot and then either it goes in or it doesn't go in". The Frenchman seems not to have appreciated this question about his technical action and remains modest, without getting too exalted. "But if it were that easy, everyone would do it, right? While you manage to do it", the interviewer objects and Olise continues in the same vein: "I'm not the only one who can score". The journalist's embarrassment is obvious: "You're making the interview quite difficult for me. What makes you happy, scoring and winning?". Olise leaves with this answer: "Yes". Even in this case he shows all his personality.

Why did Olise respond to the journalist like this, putting him in trouble?

The footballer tries to maintain balance, not allowing himself to be influenced by questions aimed at exalting him, as if at that moment he considered them banal. However, there is also the other side of the coin: on social networks many people have explained that a minimum of respect for the media should be shown, answering normally even when it is thought that a question may seem banal or superficial. Olise, however, is the type of footballer who does not want to put on a mask and does not hide; he does not want to be talked about through answers that perhaps do not belong to him.

He expected more articulate and technical questions, not just based on the excitement or the dynamics of a goal. So, banality does not belong to Oliseh, who showed this by appearing live in front of the whole world. The one who suffered was the poor journalist in question, who certainly had no intention of asking superficial questions: for him it was simply a way to start the interview and then develop it on other topics. It is not the first time that this has happened: in 2020, when he was still at Borussia Dortmund, Haaland used only 11 words in total during an interview. Szoboszlai, on the other hand, devastated in November 2025 after Hungary's defeat in the World Cup, was unable to answer and expressed himself only in short words.
