In recent statements, a Bayern Munich legend revealed his great excitement for Vincent Kompany's squad, as well as his admiration for one of the attackers in the German team's attacking trident.

At this moment, Bayern Munich have signed off on a fantastic season that has shown the great potential they have with their players, with Vincent Kompany, who has made clear that his project is destined to be the best team in Europe.

With great revelations and a dream signing like the arrival of the Colombian Luis Diaz, a formidable attacking trident has been formed with Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and the great revelation of the season, Luis Diaz.

But for a Bayern Munich legend like Thomas Muller, he has made clear his message regarding this trident and how the team has the talent to continue enhancing these players, but above all, for some to compete in the race for the Ballon d'Or this season and even in the future.

Thomas Muller considers Michael Olise to win a Ballon d'Or ahead of Luis Diaz and Harry Kane

In recent statements, Thomas Muller made clear his position regarding Bayern Munich and how the great trident of the team has shifted, noting that this offense features elite players who compete for the Ballon d'Or.

But the big favorite for Muller is without a doubt Michael Olise, thinking that the player has an innate talent in terms of speed, dribbling, and magic, some skills that Kane or Diaz do not have.

"With his finishing and attacking qualities, Harry is the best striker I currently see. He's got a wide range of qualities, but he's not a player who can dribble past four people. As far as the Ballon d'Or is concerned, the 'artistic element' is taken into account. Generally, I see Harry as the more important player - but when it comes to the vote for the World's Best Player, it's more for players like Michael, with this dance-like, artistic, ease, magic quality, you can't learn that. Michael is a player who delivers, a performer. That's why he will carry and shape this team"

The great player that Michael Olise is was seen this season, signing incredible statistics, with a total of 52 matches scoring 22 goals and 31 assists, being an exceptional season. Despite not reaching the Champions League final, he demonstrated his great quality at only 24 years of age, and with a career ahead where he will be a great candidate to win the Ballon d'Or.

Author's Take:

In a dream season for Michael Olise, he could win the Ballon d'Or if he delivers a World Cup performance that stands out from the rest for the French national team, which is fundamental to this individual award for the 24-year-old attacker.

Although with Olise's personality, his focus is not on chasing individual trophies but rather on collective ones, and his ambition is perceived as winning everything with Bayern and his national team, this player, so different in his sporting performance, can also stand out to win the Ballon d'Or.

This season, the possibility exists. However, something that can be evidenced is how, over time, without a doubt, he will be a great candidate as the years go by, due to his differential level and his great goal contribution. Thomas Muller is right that he is a great player ahead of Harry Kane and Luis Diaz in terms of what qualifies for a Ballon d'Or player.
