Kompany welcomes the Oktoberfest break and says it’s ideal

After Bayern’s game against Union Berlin, the club faces a two-part break: the Oktoberfest (Wiesn) comes alongside a long international pause for national teams. As kicker reports, Vincent Kompany has a plan for both, framing the downtime as something useful for the team’s next phase.

A two-time pause

Kompany’s message, according to kicker, is straightforward: for coaches, these kinds of gaps are well suited to getting things back on track. In his words, “for coaches it’s perfect,” tying the idea directly to how they can manage training and preparation during the pause.

Keeping preparations sharp

The reflection comes right after the match versus Union Berlin, when Bayern looks ahead to a calendar with more rest and time to work than usual. The expectation, based on Kompany’s approach as reported by kicker, is to use that window to fine-tune performance and return to competition with better rhythm.

What remains is to see how this preparation strategy plays out once Bayern resumes league action after Wiesn and the international break.
