"We all watched him when we were young; he was a legend for Belgium and Manchester City. He was a very aggressive defender in duels, a leader on the pitch too, a good role model for me. He's helping me a lot; we do a lot of video sessions, he talks to me about my positioning. Things are always very intense with him"
"Being in the final year of his contract, Upamecano's options on the table could be several. However, at Bayern he has the additional factor of training under Kompany and honing his skill to a higher level of perfection. Bayern Munich is in the midst of some downtime, but the German national team and the news cycle has kept us busy at Bavarian Football Works and Bavarian Podcast Works."
Dayot Upamecano joined Bayern Munich from RB Leipzig at 22 and has developed into a central defensive rock. Vincent Kompany provides hands-on mentorship through aggressive, leadership-focused coaching and detailed video sessions that emphasize positioning. Upamecano credits Kompany's experience with meaningful improvements in his tactical game. Upamecano enters the final year of his contract with multiple potential options, while continued training under Kompany strengthens his case for staying and improving further. Bayern faces a quieter club period while national team matters and media coverage remain active, with podcast topics covering team performance, transfers, rehab updates, and player form.
