A Shaky Defense, a Solution Found
Munich - FC Bayern Munich, champions no more, has taken a step to reinforce their faltering defense with the signing of versatile defender Jonathan Tah from former champions Bayer Leverkusen[2] .
The Challenge
FC Bayern's defense has seen its share of inconsistency, with sporadic prolonged periods of impenetrability mixed with threadbare phases[2] . Tah, known for his dominance in duels and aerial prowess, is expected to bring stability and improve the Munich defense's overall performance.
Skills and Statistics

Leadership and Experience
The defender boasts a decade of extensive Bundesliga and international experience, having played 290 games for Bayer 04 Leverkusen with only one dismissal and 32 yellow cards to his name[3] . His pace, clocked at 35.8 km/h, suggests that he can keep up with the league's top players[3] .
Champion in the Making
Tah's ability to lead from the front is expected to make him a valuable asset in the new Kompany era, as the Hamburg native looks to guide Bayern's defense with authority and precision.
