Lennard Maloney on playing as a defensive midfielder 🗣️

“I was always the guy who ran a lot and tried to cover space and that’s my game. But the manager knows what you can do and how you can improve and find the right mixture. At first I thought, ‘Ok, I’ll cover the space for you but you don’t have to give me the ball’, but he knew that I needed to be pushed up and get those balls, even if I was just blocking or clearing them — then later getting it and keeping it. That helped me evolve pretty well into the defensive midfield position.”
