Overview
- The club began erecting the perimeter system earlier this week and images published Tuesday show steel posts nearing 10 metres with winches that lift a heavy tarpaulin into place.
- Head coach Vincent Kompany personally inspected the work after returning from the club’s Asia trip and has driven the change to mirror the isolated training environments he saw in England.
- Reporters say at least some sections of the motorized screen were operational by Aug. 12 and builders continue to finish the rope‑and‑pulley mechanism that secures the sheeting to a thick steel tube.
- The measure is meant to stop rivals, journalists, and spectators from photographing or filming set pieces and drills, a concern sharpened this year by public cases of scouting and spying in English football.
- The new system builds on earlier Bayern attempts under Pep Guardiola and Julian Nagelsmann and aims to fix past problems by using a sturdier winch‑driven design, but fans and local media have raised objections about reduced access and club transparency.
