Overview
- Photographs and local reports this week show a new motorised screen at the Säbener Straße training ground that can be raised to almost completely block outside sightlines of the pitch.
- The system uses near-10 metre steel posts fitted with small electric winches that raise a heavy steel tube to which a long tarpaulin is attached.
- Head coach Vincent Kompany inspected the installation after returning from the club’s Asia trip and is reported to back training isolation modeled on practices he saw in England.
- The move follows earlier Bayern methods — Pep Guardiola’s large curtains and Julian Nagelsmann’s retractable blinds — and is being presented as a more mechanically robust solution to past wind and cold failures.
- Club and press sources say the wall aims to limit fan and media views and reduce the chance of rivals gathering tactical intelligence, a concern sharpened by recent spying cases in European football.
