In his time with the Chicago Fire, Bastian Schweinsteiger has mostly played centerback or center midfield. In his first two years he was given a lot of freedom to move around as he pleased and could seemingly choose to play a free role whenever he deemed it necessary. That hasn’t been the case this season. Whether he made the decision to stay home more often or it was a coaching decision is unclear, but he has certainly been less mobile this year.
However, the past two weeks we have seen him play with more positional freedom than earlier in the year.
