Bayern Munich midfielder Dayot Upamecano spoke about the most dangerous and relentless strikers he has faced in his career. This was reported by L'Équipe. According to the French footballer, playing against some forwards requires not only extensive experience but also great strength and maximum attention.
Upamecano named five of his most personally troubled strikers during the interview:
He placed his current teammate, Harry Keeney, first. According to him, the English striker becomes a real headache with the culture of movement on the field, powerful shots, and the ability to save the ball. Stopping the defender will be a serious test for every defender.
In second place is Robert Lewandowski. The match against the Barcelona forward has been a true mastery for Upamecano for several years. It was noted that the Polish forward's positioning and accuracy in scoring put strong pressure on the defenders.
Third place went to Osman Dembele. The PSG winger is distinguished by his speed, maneuverability on the field, and dangerous play with both feet. Upamecano emphasized that a match against Dembélé always requires 100% attention.
Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé came in fourth. Upamecano did not hide the difficulties he faced during training and matches against his French national team teammate. Mbappé's explosive speed and the culture of movement in the penalty area were the main factors that made his name on the list.
The fifth place was taken by Seru Girassi, who shone for Borussia Dortmund this season. It was said that the striker's physical strength and serious struggle with the ball were a kind of test for Upamecano.
For information, the 27-year-old Dayo Upamecano has been playing for Bayern since 2021 and holds a special place among the team's guiding defenders. Transfermarkt estimates its market value at €60 million.
His list once again clearly showed football fans what pressure and difficulties exist against world-class forwards.
