Dayot Upamecano is undoubtedly one of the French players to have progressed the most in recent years. Although he is an established executive in the French team and at Bayern Munich, he nevertheless had a difficult start with the Blues. But his perseverance took over. Before facing Greece on Tuesday evening, the Bavarian gave a transparent interview to say the least Parisian in which he discusses a return, or not, to France in the future.
When asked if he plans to spend his entire career without ever setting foot in Ligue 1, Dayot Upamecano answers: “It’s possible. It’s a risk to go abroad early, but I was a very motivated boy. If I had been told to stay and that I was going to play in Ligue 2 at Valenciennes, maybe I would have done it. Today, I regret nothing. We made the right decision with my mother. I am happy with my journey. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t change a thing.” It must be said that the native of Évreux is at home in Germany and that after a notable stint in Leipzig, he is today the boss of the Munich defense led by Thomas Tuchel.
