Bayern Munich’s Nathaniel Brown just wants minutes, no matter what position
The FC Bayern newcomer will play anywhere Vincent Kompany wants him to.
MUNICH, Germany - August 28: Nathaniel Brown, a player for FC Bayern Munich, is content with simply securing minutes on the field, regardless of his position. The 24-year-old midfielder has been experimented with in various roles by head coach Vincent Kompany, who has utilized him as a full-back, attacking midfielder, and even a winger.
"We brought in Nathaniel Brown as a full-back. We know he can play on the left, he can play on the right. At the moment, he’s needed a bit further forward because we don’t have Jamal (Musiala), we don’t have Serge (Gnabry), and Lenny (Karl) has just returned," Kompany stated, according to reports from @iMiaSanMia. Brown remains flexible with where he plays, as long as he gets regular game time.
"I just want to get my minutes in. It doesn’t really matter to me where – whether as a number 10, on the left or on the right. Of course, left-back is my preferred position, but I feel comfortable everywhere," Brown said. Brown’s versatility is expected to benefit Bayern Munich as they face a challenging, compressed fixture list.
Several Bayern Munich players are also representing their national teams, making it crucial for the coach to effectively manage their roster.
