Throughout his career Dayot Upamecano has been plagued with the title of having lapses in concentration and struggling with his focus. These faults on top of an injury to his left hamstring has left him as a bench role for Bayern Munich.
In recent EUROs play he has been the exact opposite, being highlighted on his focus and having a sense of being comfortable in his role with the French national team. French Head Coach Didier Deschamps spoke about Upamecano for the French team in the EUROs.
“Now he has to stay at this level because it’s important for us,” Deschamps said when asked about Upamecano (via @iMiaSanMia).
When Upamecano is on his game he has shown to be an impact player just like in the World Cup for France as well. Deschamps realizes the importance of making him comfortable in his role and with himself.
“It’s my job and my staff’s to know my players their sensitivities through conversation. Whether it’s Dayot or other players, it’s about making them feel as confident as possible, but the merit is for the players for what they do on the pitch,” Deschamps was quoted saying (via @iMiaSanMia).
Deschamps and his staff look for Upamecano to be an impact player through the France national team with its performance within the EUROs.
