O’zapft is! Last weekend, the Oktoberfest was opened in Munich. FCB coach Vincent Kompany and several Bayern pros celebrated on the Wiesn after the victory over Hoffenheim.
The Oktoberfest is almost as much of a tradition for FC Bayern as the championship celebration on Marienplatz – and this year, too, coach Vincent Kompany and several pros didn’t miss the chance to stop by on the opening weekend. On Sunday, just one day after the 4-1 away win against TSG Hoffenheim, the Bayern stars were spotted in the Schützenfestzelt.
In a video from radio station 95.5 Charivari, not only head coach Vincent Kompany but also national team players Serge Gnabry, Jonathan Tah, and Aleksandar Pavlovic were seen at the Wiesn. They were joined by Konrad Laimer and new signing Nicolas Jackson. Notably, the striker on loan from FC Chelsea was the only one who didn’t show up in lederhosen.
On the Bayern stars’ tables in the clips, there were mainly bottles of water – a sign that the pros took a rather calm approach to their visit despite the festive mood.
Interesting: This visit was a “private outing” for Kompany and co. On October 5, the last Sunday of Oktoberfest, the official Wiesn visit of FC Bayern is scheduled.
Even before the festival began, Kompany made it clear that he would not forbid his players from visiting the Wiesn. Instead, he relies on their professionalism: “I have trust. The players are not children. They know what’s right and what’s wrong,” explained the Belgian.
FC Bayern will play a total of four matches during the Wiesn period, but only one of them at home in the Allianz Arena. The official team visit is traditionally planned for the final day – this time, directly after the away match at Eintracht Frankfurt.
This means the Bayern stars have already gotten a taste of the Wiesn – and at the same time shown that celebrating and responsibility can definitely go hand in hand.
