[Saba Sports News] According to German media reports, Wisdom Mike, a young player at Bayern Munich, once fell asleep during a team meeting, but Vincent Kompany did not reprimand him in public. During a team meeting in the summer of last year, Wisdom Mike made a mistake. The young winger fell asleep in the front row during the morning team meeting. It has circulated within the club that Mike had stayed out late in Munich with another player the previous night, and that player has since been loaned out. Instead of publicly reprimanding Mike in front of the whole squad, Kompany chose to handle the matter privately.Kompany told Mike that he must improve his performance and that such an incident must not happen again. Mike took Kompany’s words to heart and trained hard, eventually making his Bundesliga debut in Bayern’s 4–0 victory over Werder Bremen. When sending him onto the pitch, Kompany said: “You’ve earned this — but don’t fall asleep again!”
The editor believes that this incident not only reflects the challenges young players may face early in their careers, but also highlights Vincent Kompany’s approach as a manager, emphasizing discipline and responsibility in training and matches. Mike’s improved performances since then mark his path of growth at Bayern Munich.
