You sure of that??
I'm not a big follower of German football, but i distinctly remember him playing as rightback quite a few times, when Jansen was played on the left. I didn't think too highly of him there.
Yeah, he's right footed and both in Stuttgart and Bayern he played left back only because of lack of quality and players on that side, and good quality on the right side (Hinkel and Sagnol). The moment Jansen arrived Lahm was again switched to his original position. But Jansen's injury forced Bayern's coach to play Lahm on the left again. Even for Germany at the last EURO he played as RB but after Jansen's disastreous performances, Lahm had to switch to LB again.
He's like Zambrotta, very versatile full back that can play on both sides. Defensively it doesn't change much if he plays on the right or on the left but in attack the advantage when playing on the right is that his crosses are much better and accurate, while the advantage of playing on the left is that he can cut-in towards the center and shoot on goal.
Since it doesn't really makes much difference where he's played, i'd pick him over Grygera and not over Molinaro only because i see Grygera as the weakest link of this Juve. Plus, we have enough fire power and we'll need Lahm because of his crosses more than we'll need his shooting.
I would use him on the left when Zebina is fit.
Me too.
