The German champion travels to Bayern Munich on Saturday (6:30 p.m.) for the championship clash. The opportunity to see the French Michael Olise and Martin Terrier compete, who are trying to make their mark.
The Bundesliga clash which takes place on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen will highlight two newcomers to the championship: the French Michael Olise (Bayern) and Martin Terrier (Bayer). Two players who have been hitting the screen for several seasons and have made the big leap to Germany to develop their careers in a bigger club.
Since the start of the season, the two Tricolores have experienced varying fortunes and want to take advantage of this flagship match of the 5th day of the championship to shine.
Olise, a fantastic start to the season
The new French international has had a start to the season above the expectations placed on him. Already the author of 5 goals and 3 assists in 6 games, Michael Olise has already entered the hearts of Munich supporters. He managed to gain the trust of his new coach, Vincent Kompany, by almost directly integrating the starting eleven, under the noses of French people already present like Mathys Tel and Kingsley Coman.
Called up for the French team during the last international break, after a successful Olympics and a silver medal, the London native seems to be much more than a summer hit and is already receiving the favor of the German press who already compared to Bavarian club legends Arjen Robben and Franck Ribéry.
Terrier, an integration that requires more time
The 27-year-old striker couldn’t have had a worse start to his adventure in Germany. In the first match, in the Super Cup, Martin Terrier was sent off after the 37th minute for a strong tackle on a Stuttgart player. His team, however, won the match on penalties. The former Stade Rennais scorer takes a little longer to acclimatize to the Bundesliga than his compatriot.
Scorer for the first time against Hoffenheim two weeks ago (4-1 victory for Bayer), Terrier must earn his place in Xabi Alonso’s squad. This is no small feat given that 90% of the team that won the championship last year remained, and that the French player is the only notable arrival from an offensive point of view.
It is therefore easier for Michael Olise to establish himself at Bayern given the context which leaves room for change, while Terrier arrives in a well-established system to which he must adapt. Both players will have a great opportunity to show themselves to their coach this Saturday afternoon and Martin Terrier will have everything to gain by being decisive during this meeting.
