After their thumping win against Stuttgart, Upamecano said: "He's a great coach, I'm very happy with him.
"He played in my position, he does a lot of video analysis with us, the defenders, he helps us a lot. I have confidence in myself this season and I give everything for him.
"I really like it. It's not always easy for us, the defenders, because we want to keep a clean sheet in every game. But the team supports each other a lot. I'm very happy with our game."
