Olise just keeps doing Robben things

People keep acting like every cut inside goal is the same but this is exactly why that is nonsense, the timing, the lift and the contact all matter and he is nailing them, so no I do not think this is just some lucky highlight clip that got big because of the name attached to it, the technique is clearly there and defenders are still a step behind
 
bayern really do collect these lads and turn them into left foot merchants, next thing you know every winger is coming inside like theyve been issued a company handbook
 
The key detail is the repeatability. When a player can arrive in the same zone, shape the same shot and still beat the keeper, it stops being a one-off and becomes a tactical problem. Defenders are forced to overcommit, which opens space elsewhere, so even when he does not score the threat changes how the whole back line behaves.
 
I think the Robben comparison is obvious, but it is also fair to say Olise has his own style. The finish is cleaner than people expected and the fact he can keep doing it against different opposition is what makes it stand out.
 
yeah cheers for letting him onto his stronger foot lads absolutely genius defending there just stand off and pray i guess
 
I had the stream on in the background and still managed to look up at exactly the right moment because you can almost feel when he is about to do it, that is the mad part, it is not even a surprise anymore and yet it still hits like one, and the more I watch it the more I think defenders must hate seeing him on that side because it feels inevitable every single time
 
What stands out to me is how the movement around him is doing a lot of the work as well, because once that winger gets isolated and the box is set up for the cut inside, the whole defence is already compromised before he even strikes it, and that is why these goals keep happening, it is not just the shot it is the whole shape of the attack creating the same problem again and again
 
It is easy to focus only on the finish, but the setup matters just as much. Olise is finding a consistent route into his favourite shooting lane, and once he is there the shot is almost impossible to read. That is what makes the comparison to classic cut-inside wingers so natural.
 
Went to the pub expecting a quiet night and ended up sat next to two lads who spent ten minutes arguing about whether this was more Robben or more just pure Olise, one of them was absolutely convinced it was the same goal every time and the other kept saying no no no the touch is different, then the whole table started chiming in like it was a proper tactical seminar, meanwhile the pints were disappearing and the bartender was laughing because nobody could agree on anything except that the finish was ridiculous, football does that to people it turns normal adults into daft little analysts and somehow this goal is exactly the sort of thing that starts the argument
 
You can make a sensible case that the comparison is not even the important part, because the real point is that he has a repeatable weapon and defenders still cannot solve it. The more he does it, the more it becomes a known threat rather than a surprise, and that should make it easier to stop, but somehow it does not. And that is when you start getting annoyed because it feels like the same story every time, everyone knows what is coming and still gets done, which is just infuriating to watch when the attacker is clearly enjoying himself and the rest of us are left shouting at the screen
 
The measured view is that this is a very good goal from a player who has clearly found a comfort zone. Once he gets into that right-sided channel, the defender is already under pressure and the keeper has very little time to react. But then you start thinking about how many times football does this with certain wingers and suddenly the whole conversation turns into a weird culture war about who invented cutting inside and why everyone is pretending they are not impressed, which is absolutely mad because the goal itself should be enough to enjoy without turning it into a lecture
