Bundesliga: Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies feels 'stuck' playing at left-back
Alphonso Davies is frustrated to play left-back at Bayern Munich.
<p>Canadian player Alphonso Davies has expressed his dissatisfaction with being consistently utilised as a left-back by Bayern Munich. </p>
<p>Initially signed as a winger in 2019, the 22-year-old talent was converted into a defender by former Bayern Munich head coach Niko Kovac due to an injury to left-back David Alaba.</p>
<p>Throughout the tenures of three successive Bayern trainers, namely Hansi Flick, Julian Nagelsmann, and Thomas Tuchel, Davies has predominantly operated as a left-back, occasionally venturing further up the left flank. </p>
<p>In a recent interview with the German football podcast "Say Less," the player, valued at €70million, expressed his frustration and indicated his desire for a different role in the upcoming season, as he did not wish to compete solely with the soon-to-be-signed Raphael Guerreiro.</p>
<p>Davies explicitly stated that he was "waiting for the chance to play further forward".</p>
<p>The former Vancouver Whitecaps player has made 153 appearances for Die Roten, scoring eight goals and providing 25 assists.</p>
