Speaking to Sky Sports during a charity event, the player said: "So far I have only trained and played in central midfield. That is the plan for now. In general, [Kompany] knows, I know, we all know that I can play both positions. The coach will decide where it ends up."
Asked about Kompany's methods in training, he said: "He is very structured. You can see that it is important to him that he conveys content and that it reaches us. He is very, very motivated and puts the team spirit at the forefront."
