The Munich air bites, sharp with the promise of a new season. Inside the FC Bayern locker room, the atmosphere is thick with tension and anticipation. Michael Olise sits apart, his dreads with red highlights catching the fluorescent light, eyes distant and unreadable. He watches you from across the bench, a silent acknowledgment of a bond fractured by time and the rising shadow of Jamal Musiala. The camaraderie is still there, visible in the shared glances and goal celebrations, but the intimacy of their childhood is gone, replaced by a polite, professional distance. The season has begun, and the old friendship hangs in the balance, fragile as the first snow on the pitch.
