Luis Diaz forced to follow two strict rules at Bayern Munich that don't exist at Liverpool

Luis Diaz will be forced to follow two strict rules at his new club Bayern Munich that were not in place at Liverpool.

Diaz recently completed a £65.5 million move from Liverpool to Bayern Munich, where he has signed a four-year deal with the option of another.

The 28-year-old's contract was set to expire in 2027, so this summer was the club's final chance to receive a sizeable fee for the Colombian.

Diaz said he had "fulfilled his duty" at Liverpool and was ready for a new challenge, but there will be new rules for him to follow under Vincent Kompany.

According to the Daily Mail, there are no fines for players who are late to training.

Instead they are forced to stay at the training ground for as long as Kompany remains there.

By contrast, Liverpool boss Arne Slot is known for issuing fines for lateness to both training and matchday buses.

Diaz will also have to adjust to finding out whether he is involved in a matchday squad through the team's internal WhatsApp group, while he will receive a new car as part of Bayern's strict rule which all players are made to follow.

For those players who are left out, Kompany contacts them directly before he releases the squad list.

Although there is no public information on how Slot releases his squad news, most managers prefer to do so through in-person team briefings.

What else does Vincent Kompany like to do?

Kompany also likes to go through post-match video footage with his team that shows players demonstrating the desired mentality he wants from his squad.

Earlier in the year, Harry Kane was picked out for tracking back in the closing stages of a 9-2 victory over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League.

The Belgian manager also only delivers harsh criticism to his players in private to avoid humiliating individuals.

He believes that such public embarrassments can damage team spirit which he views as essential to success.

How has Vincent Kompany fared at Bayern Munich?

After impressing in the Championship with Burnley, Kompany was criticised for not adapting his possession-based style in the Premier League, where Burnley won just five games and were relegated.

But he was offered the Bayern Munich job last summer, winning the Bundesliga in his first season with only two defeats.

In the Champions League, they went out in the quarter-finals to Inter Milan, losing 4-3 on aggregate.

Despite a good performance against PSG, they exited the Club World Cup at the same stage, losing 2-0.

Diaz is Bayern's third summer signing following the arrivals of German duo Tom Bischof and Jonathan Tah.
