📸 Kompany experiment pays off, Brown scores as Bayern No 10 | OneFootball

Vincent Kompany caused a small surprise with his lineup for the Supercup against BVB. Despite Musiala’s absence, new signing Ismael Saibari was not in the starting XI.Instead, the other high-profile transfer, Nathaniel Brown, got the nod. And in a position where hardly anyone would have expected to see him. The former SGE player started in the No. 10 role rather than at full-back.

But Vincent Kompany absolutely nailed it with this unusual decision. In the 28th minute, the moment arrived. After a layoff from Michael Olise, the 23-year-old fired the ball into the net without hesitation. In the end, FC Bayern won 2-1.

Given how well it has worked so far, we could well see Brown playing as a No. 10 more often in the future. If it turns out that the youngster can develop his potential this well in different positions, Bayern may have pulled off a real steal here despite the high fee.
