In terms of fitness, FCB newcomer Matthijs de Ligt obviously has some catching up to do.
He also trained hard on Säbener Straße on his day off.
Munich – First the pleasure, then the work.
This is how you could describe the last two days of Matthijs de Ligt (22).
Together with his girlfriend Annekee Molenaar, the new Bavarian is currently exploring Munich and the surrounding area - culinary and cultural.
The Dutch model gives insights into this on his Instagram page.
The couple plan on Sunday (August 7th): a trip to Lake Tegernsee.

Head coach Julian Nagelsmann (35) also gave his team no training on Monday (August 8th) after the 6-1 win at the start of the league in Frankfurt.
De Ligt, on the other hand, was on the club premises on Säbener Straße – to further improve his fitness.
Under the guidance of Prof. Dr.
Holger Broich (47), the new head of defence, who had been signed by Juventus Turin, initially completed an individual training session in the morning.
And the position-specific program put together by the highly respected fitness boss had it all, as reported by tz.de.
After warming up, de Ligt pulled a weight sled with him when taking side steps and pushed it in front of him.
The aim of the exercises: to improve the power impression.
Broich also showed him jumps that de Ligt – attached to resistance ropes – imitated on a so-called Vertimax plate.
It's about power and explosiveness.

FC Bayern: Mathys Tel and Kingsley Coman also train on Säbener Straße
Later, de Ligt's speed of action and spatial perception were playfully worked on.
He had to switch to the one of the four light barriers that lit up the previously agreed color.
Broich was able to control the tripod colors using a tablet.
After that, de Ligt trained to start.
Meanwhile, Mathys Tel (17/came from Rennes) was also on the pitch.
With Kingsley Coman (26/suspended for one more game), the new Sturm jewel trained mainly with the ball. Finally, the trio completed games together in which the French served the Dutchman with crosses and sprint interval runs.

Italy expert disagrees
In the case of de Ligt's tough units, the question arises: Isn't his ex-club Juventus under Massimiliano Allegri (54) training intensively enough?
"The Juve DNA is always giving everything,"
Football Italia
journalist Lorenzo Bettoni said in an interview with our newspaper.
“But Allegri gives his players a lot of freedom.
He's not obsessed with training super-intense.
During his first tenure as Juve coach, there were never any fitness problems."
The fact is: De Ligt is now making a good impression.
The champions-league-free August should continue to be used to get the players in top shape for the awesome season, including the Winter World Cup in Qatar.
Sadio Mané (30) also completed an extra training session on Monday (August 8) and did laps with Broich.
