"He barely slept and only worked."

Vincent Kompany, manager of German professional football club Bayern Munich, finally collapsed at a training ground.

The UK's BBC reported on the 24th (Korean time) that "Munich manager Kompany was suddenly taken to a hospital after collapsing while observing a training session for the second-team squad on Friday."

The Munich club also officially announced Kompany's health issue. The club stated, "Manager Kompany received emergency treatment after collapsing while observing a Bayern Munich II training session on Friday," adding, "He is currently undergoing detailed examinations at a hospital and is expected to continue treatment under the supervision of medical staff for the time being."

It further explained that "the coaching staff will take charge of training and match command until further notice."

It remains unclear when Manager Kompany will return to the field.

Max Eberl, Munich's sports director, emphasized, "Manager Kompany's health is our top priority," adding, "The club will spare no effort to support his rapid recovery."

He continued, "Manager Kompany is receiving all necessary medical treatment and support, and he will be given ample time for recovery. The coaching staff will cover his duties. Everyone at the club wishes him a speedy recovery."

Local attention is focused on the possibility that Manager Kompany's excessive workload and lack of sleep contributed to this health incident.

German media outlet TZ reported, "As it stands, it appears that 'workaholic' Manager Kompany is paying the price for his tireless work ethic." The outlet added, "It is already known that Manager Kompany sleeps very little because he works late into the night to analyze opposing teams."

Even on the day of the collapse, he could hardly put down his work. The media explained, "After finishing a professional team training session and enduring a difficult week due to health issues, Manager Kompany chose to observe a regional league team's training instead of resting."

It added, "And it was right there that he collapsed."

This was not his first hospital visit recently. According to reports, Manager Kompany spent a night in the hospital just days earlier due to health issues. He reportedly underwent intensive examinations at the time, but no particular abnormalities were found.

Recently, he also suffered from a severe viral infection.

Despite this, Manager Kompany did not take a complete rest. Even while in poor physical condition, he took charge of the team during the UEFA Champions League match against Arsenal.

Manager Kompany himself left a meaningful remark about his physical condition after the match. He revealed, "A manager always wants to do everything. I caught a severe virus last week and, naturally, did not listen to my body." He added, "Then at some point, my body told me to 'stop.'"

However, he could not completely put down his work afterward, and ultimately experienced another health issue at the training ground days later.

TZ reported, "Another setback has struck Manager Kompany. The Munich boss had to go to the hospital. Concerns about his health condition are growing."

It added, "Munich officials are also deeply concerned about the current situation."
