Small pitch tournament in first post-holiday training session

Today, the Bayern players got going in earnest! On day two of the Audi Digital Summer Tour 2020 head coach Hansi Flick's team completed their first team training session after a 13-day holiday. In addition to the entire first team, including new signings Leroy Sané, Alexander Nübel and Tanguy Nianzou, several players from the youth setup were also in action. The brand new away shirts, available since yesterday, were also given their first outing.

Everyone highly motivated

Following the virtual and small group training sessions in the last few days, the players came together on the pitch again on Sunday morning for their first session in preparation for the Champions League. Flick welcomed the players back with a speech, and after the warm-up, rondo drills and matchplay situations were the order of the day. In a nine vs nine training tournament using one half of the pitch, the focus was firmly on fast combination moves. The session ended after just over an hour with a bit of shooting practice. In the video above you can watch the whole session from Sunday in its entirety again.
