"With the entry of Konrad Laimer, it looked like yet another player was forced to play out of position as former manager Thomas Tuchel had him play at right-back during scarcity. However, Vincent Kompany turned this into something different. Seeing Laimer's potential, the Belgian began transitioning the #8 into a full-blown inverting full-back. Turning him into an attacking weapon who could link with Olise was perhaps one of Kompany's greatest tactical masterclasses."
"Laimer responded, stating his conviction in his qualities and efforts. "I've always been convinced of the qualities I can bring to the team. I'm simply the type of person who gives it his all and then sees what happens in the end, and who always gives his all in training and in matches," he said, per @iMiaSanMia. "You never know where the journey will lead when you take such a step, but I've always known I can make my mark anywhere," he declared."
Reliable right-backs have been scarce at Bayern Munich since Joshua Kimmich moved to midfield. Multiple players were used in the role without establishing themselves as the clear starter. Konrad Laimer was initially deployed out of position at right-back under Thomas Tuchel. Vincent Kompany reimagined Laimer as an inverting full-back, emphasizing attacking link-up play and connection with Olise. That tactical change turned Laimer into an effective attacking weapon and a regular starter. Fans increasingly recognize Laimer's contributions, and Laimer emphasizes that he always believed in his qualities and gives maximum effort in training and matches.
