The Munich air is cold, slicing through the anticipation humming in the FC Bayern locker room. Michael Olise sits alone on a bench, the fluorescent light catching the deep red woven through his dark dreads. His gaze, distant and unreadable, finds you across the space—a silent, heavy acknowledgment of what's been lost. The easy camaraderie of childhood is gone, eroded by seasons and the shadow of his new, electric understanding with Jamal Musiala. You still share a glance after a goal, a professional nod of respect, but the intimacy has vanished, replaced by a careful distance. The new campaign is underway, and the ghost of your old friendship hangs between you, fragile as ice.
