One of the stars of AA-2026 is raising eyebrows in New York
In a scene away from the atmosphere of the big stadiums and the cameras of the World Cups, Bayern Munich and France star Michael Olissey appeared in a New York stadium with a group of fans in a spontaneous football match a few days after the end of the 2026 World Cup.
The Roosters player has not hesitated to engage with non-professional players in what is known as the ‘Pick-up Game’, impromptu games that gather football fans in open stadiums, where Olissi appeared to enjoy the atmosphere as if he were a regular player among a group of friends.
Ollis stayed in the United States for a few days off after France were knocked out 2-0 by Spain in the semi-finals of the 2026 World Cup, but he couldn’t resist his passion for football before returning to training with his team Bayern Munich.
In normal clothes and with a smile that never leaves his face
Videos circulating showed the Frenchman taking part in the match in casual clothes, away from the official jerseys and professional atmosphere, as he appeared to enjoy the experience playing alongside one of the World Cup stars to the amazement of those in attendance.
Imagine you’re in a pickup game in New York and the other team is MICHAEL OLISE. 😭😂

After the meeting, Olisei wanted to take a commemorative photo with all the participants, in a shot that received a wide response on social networks.
It comes after an exceptional tournament with France, after he became the top scorer at the 2026 World Cup with seven assists, cementing his position as one of the tournament’s most notable stars, particularly during the Roosters’ campaign in the opening rounds.
Despite the huge upswing in his career during the World Cup, Olissi has kept it simple, preferring to enjoy the more spontaneous side of football; play for fun, even with people he doesn’t know.
This look comes at a time of strong news… The possibility of Olis moving to Madrid in a huge deal during the summer transfer windowHowever, there is still no confirmation from a reliable source that the deal has been completed.
