Orlando Cityās performances have improved since James OāConnor arrived in Orlando as the teamās new head coach one month ago .
One reason is the looks heās giving each player on the roster. In his seven games as head coach, O'Connor started 21 different players and tested some in different positions.
Mohamed El-Munir is one of those players. The Libyan, who usually plays left back, has started the past two matches further up the pitch.
āFor me thereās no big difference in left back or left wing,ā El-Munir said. ājust in the attack part that you have to attack every time when you play left wing because youāre an attacker.ā
El-Munir had solid numbers on his first start in the position. He had 15 successful passes in the offensive half, one shot on goal, two shots blocked and an assist (his second of season and his first since March 31). He is one of the players that has been helping the improvement of the teamās offensive production.
El-Munir is happy with his performance and thinks he will continue improving with more games at left wing.
āIām trying to get used to the position. I donāt want to say I feel confident 100 percent as I play left back because Iāve been playing this position for a while, but I think with a few games I will start to be confident and I can do much more than what I did the last few games,ā he said.
El-Munir could get another look at left wing when Orlando City travels to the nationās capital to take on DC United this Sunday night.
