Crystal Palace coach Patrick Vieira expressed his satisfaction over the performance of Nigeria born midfielder Micheal Olise.
Olise in the game against Bournemouth on December 31, provided two assists which helped the Eagles condemned their host to a 2-0 defeat.
After the game, Vieira had an unreserved praise for Olise, who excelled both on and off the ball on the south coast.
“He is a young player and he keeps developing himself,” Vieira said.
“Sometimes he will make mistakes tactically, and he will miss something because he still needs to grow as a player.
“What he is doing in training, I don’t have any doubts about putting him in the starting XI. Today he was really disciplined, he was playing well. The faith and trust we put in him will help him grow as a player, and that is good for us,” Vieira continues.
“We all know what he can do with the ball at his feet, but today he was really good out of possession. He won the majority of his one-v-ones, especially in the first-half.
“This is an aspect of his game we needed to improve, and you can see that it is coming.”
