Bayern coach Vincent Kompany explains importance of performance diagnostics
As they’d already done on Monday, Raphael Guerreiro, Mathys Tel and their Bayern teammates once again faced the obligatory performance diagnostics on Tuesday before they stepped out on the pitch at Säbener Straße alongside new coach Vincent Kompany in the afternoon. fcbayern.com takes you behind the scenes as the team got put through their paces to start pre-season.
Kompany: “Provide good comparative values”
But why are the performance tests and physical examinations so important? “The pre-season tests provide good comparative values, good feedback on the level of performance,” Kompany explained. “In addition, there are always players coming back from injury, or players who are completely new to the team.”

“The tests and checks then allow us to take a deeper look at their health and physical performance,” said the Bayern coach. “We know them all as players, we know their careers, their history, but this is the only way we can also see what we may not have discovered yet.” The comparative values and results make it possible to “further develop the players individually and keep them as fit as possible,” Kompany added.
New signing Hiroki Ito and his teammates worked up a sweat during the session on Tuesday afternoon.
