Nathaniel Brown
Vincent Kompany handed Nathaniel Brown his first competitive start for Bayern against Dortmund. However, his first start came in a unique position as he played behind Harry Kane in the number ten role.
Brown didn’t disappoint despite starting in a different role. The German international linked the attack and midfield by keeping things tidy. He timed his run to perfection to open the scoring through a tidy finish. Brown didn’t create clear-cut chances, but he kept the game ticking in the final third. He also had a brilliant chance at the end of the first half to double Die Roten’s lead. He also went past players at a good success rate, completing 75% of his dribbles on Saturday.
Considering it was his competitive debut for Bayern, Brown did a very good job in an unfamiliar position. However, this game highlighted that his versatility will give Die Roten a lot of tactical flexibility this season.
