Sadio Mané is the center of attention at Bayern's first training session.
He convinces as a goalgetter, joker and leader type.
Munich – Sadio Mané has been an attraction at Bayern Munich since the first training session.
After a training game, the newcomer even did the obligatory push-ups for the losing team as the winner.
Behind an advertising board, fans cheered the attacker's first goal, who flashed dynamism and playfulness in his first unit, while loudly demanding the ball again and again.
The Senegalese, who was signed by Liverpool FC for over 30 million euros, started preparing for the new season on Friday, as did a number of other stars.

CEO Oliver Kahn also stopped by the training ground briefly during the warm-up.

Also striking: the communicative nature of the offensive man.
Mané cheered on his fellow players during the exercises in English, for example with "Come on Boys, come on!" He sought contact with his new colleagues, warmed up with Alphonso Davies and took Kimmich by the shoulder when Nagelsmann gave a speech.
He jokingly and cheekily pushed Jamal Musiala down during his push-ups and shouted: "Teamwork!"
