On November 18, a friendly match takes place between the national teams of Germany and Turkey.
In the 5th minute of the match, the 24-year-old midfielder (!) of London’s Arsenal opened the scoring. Kai Havertz. This is Kai’s second goal this season.
However, in this match, Havertz entered the left-back position.
Germany national team coach Julian Nagelsmann commented on this decision:
“We have different formations and Kai will not always play in this position. I have a great idea about him because he is an exceptionally good footballer. And this is a very good option. He won’t always play as a traditional left-back.”
Note that Ukrainian footballer Alexander Zinchenko, who is the nominal left back, plays for the Gunners along with Havertz.
