“He is a very complete central defender” – Jonathan Tah praises Dayot Upamecano

German defender of Ivorian descent, Jonathan Tah, has spoken highly of his Bayern Munich teammate Dayot Upamecano, describing him as a complete central defender.

Tah, who joined Bayern Munich during the summer transfer window, has quickly become a key figure in the club’s central defensive lineup.

Speaking ahead of Bayern’s UEFA Champions League clash against Bruges, the 29-year-old highlighted what makes Upamecano stand out among the elite defenders in Europe.

“He is a very complete central defender, extremely aggressive. He is strong on the ball, I think highly of him,” he said.

Tah also commended the overall quality of Bayern’s defensive options, acknowledging his enjoyment of playing alongside his teammates.

“It’s fun to play with him – as is Minjae (Kim) . It was nice for me to see that there is such high quality in this position.”

With such strong competition and depth in central defence, Bayern Munich look well-equipped for their upcoming European and domestic challenges.
