Ukrainian international Anatoliy Tymoshchuk delighted on playing at his favourite position
Ukrainian international Anatoliy Tymoshchuk has expressed his delight on playing at his favourite defensive midfield position under manager Jupp Heynckes. He claimed that the new manager has surely instilled a lot of confidence
back in him and recognized where he can play best.
Bayern Munich have started the season brilliantly and are currently leading the Bundesliga standings table with 28 points from the 12 games played. The team has won nine times and has tasted defeat only two times in the current
campaign.
Tymoshchuk claimed that he feels much better at the club since Jupp Heynckes has joined in the summer this year. He admitted that the former Bayer Leverkusen boss has helped him improving his game and knows that the defensive midfield
position suits him best.
The former Zenit Saint Petersburg midfielder has found his place back in the team and has made 14 appearances for the Munich giants this season already.
“In our first chat, Heynckes told me that he had seen me play for Zenit and that he had seen such and such of me and that he thought my best position was as a defensive midfielder,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The midfielder admitted that he was increasingly getting frustrated on being played in different positions under Louis Van Gaal. He claimed that he had to play as a central defender at times which affected his game but now everything
is alright as he has the manager’s confidence.
“That is what I had always said. Whenever Van Gaal played me as a central defender, then I played there, but I believe that I am of more use to a team as a defensive midfielder,” he concluded.
