Following a controversial statement, his Instagram became inundated with over 100,000 comments and jeers on his latest post!
People didn’t hold back, sharing numerous memes, GIFs of Neymar, and Ronaldo, among others!
Other posts by the French player on Instagram also faced a similar onslaught.
The controversy originated from an interview in which Olise was asked to name the best players from various countries.
When it was Brazil’s turn, the player remarked that he couldn’t remember or name a notable Brazilian player at that moment.
This remark quickly gained traction online and was interpreted as disrespectful to the legacy of Brazilian football, sparking a swift backlash from fans.
