Fans spot brutal moment Vincent Kompany suspends Bayern Munich training session after star man gives ball away
VINCENT KOMPANY is laying down the law at Bayern Munich.
The Bundesliga giants recently turned to the Belgian after a nightmare trophyless season.
And the former Burnley boss, 38, is already ensuring everybody meets his sky-high standards.
A clip from Bayern training shows Kompany putting his stars through their paces.
Midfielder Leon Goretska tried to play the ball through the defence but his underhit effort was intercepted.
Kompany immediately stopped the session, presumably to reprimand the playmaker, 29.
And fans were delighted to see their manager pushing for excellence.
One wrote on X: “Bayern MIGHT actually be back.”
Another commented: “That was a lazy pass.”
A third added: “Ive always said Goretzka is just muscle and has very little ability. Bayern need to ship him out!!”

Kompany is keen to bring in Crystal Palace and England playmaker Adam Wharton.
Wharton only joined the Eagles from Blackburn in February, but has since enjoyed a meteoric rise.
He made 16 appearances for Oliver Glasner’s side as they finished 10th in the Premier League.
The £18million ace is liked by Bayern, Manchester City and Real Madrid.
But SunSport exclusively revealed that he is happy to stay at Selhurst Park to continue his development.
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has confirmed he is chasing a move for Bayern defender Matthijs de Ligt.
He told Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dadblad: ”We still have to wait and see whether De Ligt will come.

“But the good thing is, during my vacation I was out of the process for three or four weeks.
“During that period it was really the club, the newly established scouting and recruitment department, that brought in these players.
“The fact that there are also Dutch players among them is actually a coincidence. Primarily these were players who were brought in by our organisation.
“But of course I support them, let that be clear – and we still make the choice together.”
Maybe Kane really is cursed as trophy drought goes on... he may never get a better chance with England
IT now seems as though he really is cursed. Along with the rest of us, writes Charlie Wyett.
Tragically, unbelievably, Harry Kane’s agonising search for a trophy still continues and you know have to wonder whether he will ever actually manage it.
Certainly for England, in any case.
Kane has now suffered defeat in three major club finals and two finals of the European Championships.
Last night, the Three Lions captain was so ineffective that he was replaced by Ollie Watkins just after the hour.
Like much of this tournament, he really struggled to make the impact when England needed him, not that he had much service.
He had one shot in the first half and that was Rodri, who subsequently injured himself and went off at the break.
When Cole Palmer struck that brilliant equaliser, Kane was off on his feet from the bench, only for the national team to get another kick in the bo**ocks at the end.
Kane was substituted in both the games against Switzerland and Holland which England went on to win but on this occasion, he could only witness a gut-wrenching twist just when it looked as though Gareth Southgate’s team had dug their way out of trouble.
The Bayern Munich striker suffered the World Cup 2018 semi-final loss against Croatia, endured heartbreak against Italy in the Euro2020 final and then missed from the spot in the World Cup 2022 quarter-final against France.
He really thought that this was his time, even though England did not play well in Germany.
Kane will know that he will have more opportunities with England. But not many more.
The World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico seems a long way away and it will surely be under a new manager. Will England be better than they are now? Probably not.
And we are all left to wonder how much better England would have been with a fit and firing Kane at his very best.
