Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimović have likened Michael Olise to Tom Brady during their analysis of France's 2-0 win over Morocco. 

Although the Bayern Munich star didn't directly create a goal, his playmaking ability dropped the jaws of the two former Barcelona legends.

“I want to talk about the pass of Michael Olise," explained his compatriot Henry, speaking on FOX Sports World Cup coverage.

“As soon as you get the ball, it’s over. We’re here in Foxborough (…) Tom Brady, that’s one of your loop passes in between,” he added.

Ibrahimović, once of clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, was equally full of praise for the attacking midfielder.

“He did amazing again. He was the point guard. The 'Tom Brady of France' today. When you have a player like Olise, don’t think.

“Just run and the ball will arrive – and it will arrive exactly where you want it,” Ibrahimović concluded afterwards.
