As the clock ticks down towards the end of the transfer window, Bayern Munich fans can be forgiven for looking at last weekend’s shaky display at the back in the Bundesliga against VfL Wolfsburg and worrying about the quality of the center backs. Can the likes of Dayot Upamecano really live up to the pressure at Bayern?
According to a report from kicker, as captured by @iMiaSanMia, it seems that Bayern tend towards believing that he can. In fact, they have a very high opinion of him:
The people in charge [at Bayern] see in Dayot Upamecano ‘the most complete’ centre-back in the squad. The belief in his qualities is there. It is said that what he needs is encouragement
After the Frenchman’s three up-and-down campaigns at Bayern, it would be understandable if fans questioned this belief. But equally, few center-backs in the world share Upamecano’s skill on the ball and physical gifts. Perhaps this will be the season it all clicks…
