"Please, that's enough!": This Bayern star was fed up with Vincent Kompany | OneFootball

Tom Bischof is experiencing his most intense time as a professional at FC Bayern under Vincent Kompany – and speaks openly about the challenges of the first weeks at the German record champion.

“I have rarely seen a coach who has the team so under control and at the same time brings so much fun into the training session and the team like he does,” said the 20-year-old in the ran interview.

But the initial period was intense: “The first three weeks were really crazy. He basically had something to say about every action. I almost thought: ‘Please, that's enough.’ I was annoyed, but I have to say that it helps me a lot in hindsight.”

Bischof describes Kompany's style as “totally demanding, but extremely instructive.” The Belgian especially drilled the importance of running paths and persistence into him: “I constantly think of his words in my actions. Run after, always keep up! He drilled that into me – and now it stays in there forever.”

The former Hoffenheim player also benefits enormously from the environment at FC Bayern. “Sometimes there's praise, sometimes there's a slap on the wrist,” Bischof says about working with the experienced stars. “I know the guys want to see you run after and give 100 percent on the pitch. Then they are satisfied.”

From Annoyance to Enthusiasm

In the meantime, initial overwhelm has turned into enthusiasm. Bischof is among the rising stars under Kompany, recently impressing both in the Bundesliga and with the U21 national team.

National coach Julian Nagelsmann, who already debuted him in the senior national team in June, is also demanding more playing time from the Bayern talent. “He told me that he demands even more playing time from me. Then there is again a greater chance that I will be invited to the senior team,” Bischof explained.

At FC Bayern, he now wants to establish himself permanently – with the discipline that Kompany has “drilled” into him.
