As reported by Bavarian Football Works, Upemacano is dedicated to personal development. One of the most unorthodox ways in which he's developed as a player is by hiring an opera singer.

An opera singer, you say?

Yes, Upemacano hired an opera singer from Leipzig to help with his vocal technique.

The defender explained that he struggled with pain in his vocal cords before and after the games. With the help of the opera singer, Upemacano was taught how to use his vocal cords more gently and also to have more volume in his voice.

He also hired a personal chef and fitness trainer to aid with his speed and agility levels.

His hard work is already paying off and has seen him earn a place back in Didier Deschamps' French squad. He's also put himself in line to be called up for the World Cup.

Upemacano has also impressed for Bayern Munich, thanks to his new demeanor.

As noted by Transfermarkt, he’s played every minute of Bayern’s games in the league thus far, and he’s appeared in both Champions League games they have played as well.
