Vincent Kompany lays down the law! Bayern boss sets new strict rules for Harry Kane &  Co. in bid to regain Bundesliga title

Bundesliga

Bayern Munich

VfB Stuttgart

<p>The Belgian left Burnley for the Bavarian club to bring an end to their long search for a new head coach and he is off to a strong start, with his team sitting joint-top of the Bundesliga after six matches, though they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/aston-villa-player-ratings-vs-bayern-munich-jhon-duran-harry-kane/blt43fdcb564747f760" target="_blank">recently lost to Aston Villa in the Champions League</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The German club's bright start may be down to the strict new policy around the club's training ground. The former Manchester City captain has, <a href="https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/fc-bayern-die-geheimen-regeln-von-vincent-kompany-67051f47dd4668399e3be08c" target="_blank"><em>Bild</em></a> reports, scrapped fines for players who turn up late to training. Instead, they will have to stay at the training ground for as long as Kompany does. </p><p>Kompany is also using post-match video analysis to point out the kind of mentality he expects from his players, even moments of little tactical relevance. Players who don't turn up on time are not allowed in for the video analysis.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Kompany used Harry Kane as an example of the mentality he wants his players to embrace, having shown how the star striker kept tracking back in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/match/bayern-munich-vs-dinamo-zagreb/6cG2h6Yc-ckkhNQUJy9PJ" target="_blank">closing stages of the game against Dinamo Zagreb</a> - even though he had already scored four goals in a 9-2 win.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Bayern's next game is on October 19 against Stuttgart, who finished second in the German top-flight last season and are currently eighth in the table with nine points from six matches.</p>
