Dyer pushed me to the starting line but I fell down

Bayern Munich officially announced on its website on the 26th (Korea time) that it is unclear whether Munich defender Dayo Upamecano will play in the home game against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Upamecano, who joined Leipzig in Germany in 2017 due to his good performance in Salzburg, Austria, took the lead from the 2017/18 season and showed tremendous performance in the 2019/20 season, driving his first Champions League semi-finals in Leipzig's history.

Having joined Munich in 2021, he continued to work with Luca Hernández and Matisse de Licht to solidify his position as the main centre-back. However, he was praised as the best defender until mid-to-late last season, but all the praise went up in smoke due to the horror show against Manchester City.

His skills were outstanding and he showed a lot of good performances in the league, but fans' trust in Upamecano fell a little, showing that he often made mistakes in big games.

Though he has not played many games this season due to injury, he has teamed up with Kim Min-jae to push out rival The Licht to earn a starting job and appear in 19 league games alone. However, since Dyer was hired, his position has plummeted.

The decisive reason was the exit of the first leg of the Champions League against Lazio. In the 21st minute of the second half, Andersson dragged the ball and handed it over to Immoville in Munich's box. Immoville tried to shoot but was blocked by Kim Min-jae and the second ball headed to Isaksen. While Isaksen was shooting, Upamecano stepped on Isaksen's foot, and Isaksen fell and Upamecano received a direct red card.

Tuchel, who lost the match, said, "I'm frustrated and angry about the loss. I think we lost, but I'm not sure Lazio won. We did everything we could to make mistakes, lose our confidence, and fall behind. We didn't have to go in like that. It wasn't rough or intentional, we just needed to block the shot."

In the end, Upamecano was completely eliminated from the starting lineup, played for just 61 minutes in the latest three matches, and was also a cause for his loss in the most recent match against Union Berlin. Upamecano has suddenly become the fourth-ranked center back, losing ground to Dyer, the Licht, and Kim Min-jae.

Another bad news broke out for Upamecano, who is also struggling due to his lack of starting position. "Upamecano suffered a sprained ankle during training, so I doubt he will be able to play. We have to wait for his ankle condition," Tuchel, the Munich coach, told a press conference before the match against ㅍ and Frankfurt.

Tuchel was scheduled to rotate the rotation before the Champions League game, and Upamecano was likely to play. Now Upamecano has been injured and will not receive any chance.

Meanwhile, there has been much speculation about his future, but Upamecano wants to stay in Munich. Asked if he would like to leave the team, he said, "No, not at all. I have a contract until 2026 and I have a good relationship with my club and my teammates as well. I want to stay in Munich and I will do my best in the future. "The recent situation is not good? That is what football is about," he said.
