As of: 12:03 p.m. | Reading time: 2 minutes
FC Bayern will train in Portugal until Thursday. Flying into the sun in the middle of the season was a special concern for Thomas Tuchel. The trainer is planning a special program for the time in the Algarve.
They will only spend a few days there. But Thomas Tuchel, the coach of FC Bayern, doesn’t care. He wants to use the time intensively. Above all, he thinks that it works ideally on the Portuguese Algarve coast, where the Munich residents are heading on Sunday afternoon.
It’s currently just under 18 degrees there during the day, so conditions are good for a short training camp that the coach will have between the 3-0 win against Hoffenheim last Friday and the upcoming league game against Werder Bremen on Sunday (3:30 p.m., in the WELT sports ticker). was a very big concern.
Tuchel wants to train a lot of tactics and standards over the five days. To do this, the players have to stop for instructions between exercises. In the freezing temperatures in Munich, Tuchel feared an increased risk of injury.
“I’m looking forward to the time,” said Tuchel
In addition to tactical units, the program also includes team building measures. “The conditions should be perfect to be able to train twice a day. We can then further rehearse offensive and defensive processes, standards and much more. I’m looking forward to the time,” said the Bayern coach. The weather is better there, added Tuchel. In an interview with “Sport 1” he joked about the upcoming burden on his players: “They will be oppressed!”
Training takes place on the 46,000 square meter high-performance sports facility “The Campus”, which is just a six-minute drive from the five-star team hotel “Wyndham Grand”.

The heart of the multifunctional facility is the hybrid turf pitch, on which VfL Wolfsburg and former Bayern coach Niko Kovac were preparing for the 2024 football year until January 7th. The players are already familiar with the mixture of natural and artificial turf from the training ground on Säbener Straße and from the home arena.
Tuchel will have to do without Min-Jae Kim (with South Korea at the Asian Cup) and Noussair Mazraoui (with Morocco at the Africa Cup) in Portugal. The injured Bouna Sarr (torn cruciate ligament) and Serge Gnabry (muscle tendon injury in the left adductor area) are also missing. In addition to the remaining professionals and Erik Dier, who was introduced at a press conference on Saturday – the defender on loan from Tottenham Hotspur celebrates his 30th birthday on Monday – four young talents from the record champions will also be there in the training camp.
