HE could have Olise tried to look interested.
But instead Michael Olise just looked incredibly awkward as the Bayern Munich squad belted out ‘Jingle Bells’ in a recent Christmas shoot.
The France international has been in Bavaria for five months following a £50million move from Crystal Palace.
Olise has got on swimmingly with his new team-mates on the pitch, bagging nearly double-digit goals and assists in his debut season.
But the 23-year-old looked somewhat awkward as the squad posed for Xmas photos and sang ‘Jingle Bells’ during a recent clubshoot.
Footage of the German giants singing the Christmas classic went viral on social media.
And all of the squad, including England skipper Harry Kane, got into the spirit of things – except Olise.
He looked vacantly towards the camera as the rest of his team-mates gleefully belted out the song.
Footie fans were quick to react to his apparent non-enjoyment of the festivities, with one saying: “Man don’t dance.”
Another said: “Nonchalant final boss.”
And another said: “He’s so cool.”
One remarked: “I swear every video I see of Olise, he looks so annoyed.
“Bro looking like he don’t wanna associate with anyone, just play ball.”
Another chimed in: “He’s just a shy guy who needs time to get comfortable.”
Wing wizard Olise has taken to life in the Bundesliga like a duck to water.
The London-born Frenchman has scored nine goals and provided nine assists in 23 appearances in all competitions this season.
Bayern boss Vincent Kompany wasn’t at all surprised by Olise’s incredible start, saying in September: “It’s exactly what we were expecting.
“I think he’s really playing a big role, which isn’t easy when you’ve arrived in the Bundesliga and at a club like Bayern.
“He will take further steps.
“From my point of view, it’s very positive, but I stay calm as well.
“Because I know it’s important to continue the way he does in order to experience good times.”
