"Today, there's more maturity in my game. I'm a center-back, so I have to be more vocal. The lapses in concentration I experienced in the past are behind me. I feel I have better control of my emotions. It's showing match after match. Sometimes there are duels that aren't worth taking. Why dive in? Risk getting a card? I try to control myself,"
"There has been a downtick in Upamecano's lapses this season for sure, but that also could be helped by the presence of Jonathan Tah, who can absorb some of the vocal responsibilities of the position and is known for constantly talk on the pitch to his center-back partners. Whatever the case, the end result is that this is as good as Upamecano has played during his career - and Bayern Munich fans totally welcome that."
Dayot Upamecano has previously been tagged as prone to occasional lapses in concentration. He acknowledges those past issues and says he has matured and now shows more composure. He reports greater maturity, increased vocal leadership, improved emotional control, and better decision-making to avoid unnecessary duels and bookings. There has been a clear downtick in concentration lapses this season. Jonathan Tah's presence eases some vocal responsibilities and provides on-pitch communication support to the center-back pairing. The combined effect is an improvement in Upamecano's performances. The current form represents some of the best football of his career and is well received by Bayern Munich fans.
