Bayern Munich star Serge Gnabry openly talked about his desire to play as an attacking midfielder or even as a striker during this World Cup, but it looks like his playing will be spent on the wing — which is not such a terrible thing.
Gnabry has probably come to grips with that, as he also spoke about the possibility of playing in tandem with Jonas Hofmann as a right-back.
“That would be the more attacking option. But I think it will work out well, because I get along well with Jonas,” Gnabry said.
It certainly will be interesting to see who Hansi Flick’s right-back will be. Flick seems to have an affinity for Hofmann, who has definitely responded to Flick coaching. However, Hofmann can play a number of positions, which will like be to his advantage as the tournament grinds on.
