""He really helped me with my positioning, body positioning, how to approach the long balls, and when. We got straight to work from day one. There are very precise body positions to respect. I think I did that well against Paris. We do a lot of video analysis; some sessions last 30-40 minutes. We've become a team, a force," Upamecano told L'Equipe (as captured by @iMiaSanMia)."
"Kompany's work with his defensive group is undeniable. While not perfect, players have improved and the backline has become more steady since Kompany took over. In the biggest moments, fans do not always have to hold their breath and grip their couches hoping for the best. Now...there is a sense of confidence that the job will get done successfully."
Vincent Kompany has refined Bayern Munich's defensive organization by focusing on precise body positioning, timing, and approaches to long balls. Dayot Upamecano credits intense video analysis sessions and positional drills for measurable improvements, citing a strong performance against Paris. The backline has grown steadier under Kompany, reducing moments of panic for supporters despite a 2-2 draw with Union Berlin before the international break. Upamecano is attracting interest from major clubs including Manchester United, Inter, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid, while contract talks with Bayern have not progressed. Ibrahima Konaté is considered a potential successor, and Jamal Musiala may need more recovery time.
