Leon Goretzka to continue as a number 10 after his double against Hoffenheim?
Bayern München's Leon Goretzka shined in the number 10 position against Hoffenheim - and he admits he's more comfortable in the offensive midfield than as a number 6.

Actually, Goretzka feels most comfortable as a number 8, but that position isn't part of Bayern's current system. Instead, he can either play as a number 6 or as a number 10 - and he admits he prefers to play in the offensive midfield if he has to choose between those two positions.
"I've played that position a lot before in the past as well. It's easier for me to take advantage of my offensive qualities there than it is at the number 6 position," Goretzka told Kicker and went on to underline that he has no problem lining up as a number 6 if that's what Bayern coach Niko Kovac wants:
"It's no problem for me to plug holes for 90 minutes if that's what's needed against a particular opponent."
After his brace against Hoffenheim, Goretzka has now scored four times for Bayern - and he believes there will be many more goals to come:
"I've decided to be a bit more dangerous in front of goal in the second half of the season," he told Kicker.
