Barcelona midfielder Ilkay Gundogan is happy to play anywhere.
Gundogan feels his versatility can be an asset for Barca coach Xavi.
“It’s strange because, even in the past, I have changed positions from time to time,” said Gundogan.
“Specifically, in the last two years I’ve played in a more attacking role, getting closer to the opposition box, creating play, scoring goals… which is unbelievably fun. But I remember, in particular, one season I played as a midfielder, as a number ‘6’, alone, just me. In the last 15, 16, 17 games in the same position and I enjoyed it, I loved it.
“It was an amazing time in a totally different position. So I think it’s a question of interpretation. I’m comfortable playing more offensively, but I think it’s more a matter of what you do out of position and wherever the coach needs you. I’m ready to play anywhere. Because I think I’ve shown in the past that I can play defensively and offensively as well.
