  "account": "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.",
