📸 Kompany gamble pays off! Brown scores as Bayern's 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 signing, Nathaniel Brown, got the nod. And in a position where absolutely no one would have expected to see him. The former SGE player started as a No. 10 rather than at full-back.

And with this unusual decision, Vincent Kompany really pulled it off. In the 28th minute, the time had come. After a layoff from Michael Olise, the 23-year-old fired the ball into the net without hesitation.

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