Leroy Sané reveals his favourite position
Leroy Sané has revealed his preferred position is on the right flank.
New Bayern München signing Leroy Sané makes it clear that his favourite position is right wing, but says it's not a problem for him to play on the left.
Although he was mostly used as a left winger under Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola after his move from Schalke in 2016, Sané insists he actually prefers to play on the opposite side of the pitch.
"I usually played on the left at City, but as a youth player and at Schalke, I played on the right. My favorite position is on the right wing. I feel most comfortable there. But I have no problem with playing on the left," Sané said in an interview with Kicker and added:
"Pep helped me to learn how to play on either wing. That helped me take a step forward. Many players can only play on one side.
"I learned a lot from Pep Guardiola, especially when it comes to positional play, perception of the game and attacking and defensive behavior. He reprogrammed the way I play," said Sané.
At Bayern München, Sané will face competition from the likes of Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman.
