A number of players who operate as right-back sometimes have a double duty, defending and attacking. When defending, it is clear they will try their best so that the opponent from the right side can cut off his attack. Then when attacking, they can put pressure on the opponent, provide assists, even score goals.
Right-backs who are good at attacking and defending are usually highly valued by interested clubs. There are several examples, one of which is Benjamin Pavard. Because of good and quality, Bayern Munich did not hesitate to redeem the pillars of the French national team at an exorbitant price.
