Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen has enjoyed his chance in midfielder with Borussia Monchengladbach this season.
The Dane, 20, has welcomed the opportunity offered by coach Andre Schubert.
"I do not think it's a thought the coach had, but against Werder Bremen I played there for the first time and it went super well," he told bold.dk.
"I play a bit of a classic number six in midfield. It is a more stationary role than when I played for example the six in the U21 national team.
"The role suits me really well, but I still see myself as a central defender."
