A Quote by Alan Pardew

The AZ captain Teun Koopmeiners, a left-footed centre back who can sit in midfield, is probably the best player in Holland in defensive areas.

When I was switching around in my early stages, people underestimated how difficult it was just to go from playing centre midfield to right-back to centre-back to right-back to centre midfield.

Phil Jones

I've played all over, to be honest. Centre-half, defensive midfield, attacking midfield.

Jack Rodwell

I'm a very versatile player, I have covered many midfield roles but my favourite one is the centre-midfield.

Jorginho

My favourite position is in the midfield. I think I can play to my strengths there. I can communicate with every player. I'm more in the game, because as a right-back you have to stay on one side and you're not always in the game for 90 minutes. So I prefer the centre midfield position.

Joshua Kimmich

John Bond has brought in a young left-sided midfield player, who I guess will play on the left side of midfield.

Jimmy Armfield

I prefer to play in midfield, whether that is attacking midfield or defensive midfield.

Marouane Fellaini

As a young player, I played up front, on the wing, in midfield, and when I started in the reserves at Standard Liege, I played centre back.

Marouane Fellaini

For United, I'm more likely to be left wing of a four-man midfield with only two centre-mids, so it's a bit more difficult for me to maybe make those runs to get in and score those goals when I've got to think about my defensive duties as well.

Danny Welbeck

My favorite position is in the center of the midfield, maybe the defensive midfield. I think I can play this position the best. I played there in my youth all the time, and I like to be in the center of the game because you're never standing still.

Joshua Kimmich

I've always thought of myself as the best defensive player in the league, and I want to play like the best defensive player in the league.

Khalil Mack

If you are playing on the left of a four-man midfield, there are a lot more defensive duties to do, so you can't find the times to keep attacking. But if you're on the left of a 4-3-3, I find that position really good as well.

Danny Welbeck

I've said all along from day one centre-back is the position I feel most comfortable in but if I'm asked to play right-back or midfield I'll go and do a job there.

Phil Jones

In the defensive midfield position, the player needs to give balance to the team and try to control the game. That's exactly what I try to do.

Nemanja Matic

My position at Tottenham was in the centre of midfield, and I have played there for Croatia, I feel I am best there.

Luka Modric

I often felt as a player in a 4-4-2, you end up being outnumbered in midfield and chasing the ball, so as a manager I liked wingbacks to push forward; it gives the midfield player on the ball three or four options.

Glenn Hoddle

In Holland, I have got the buzz back playing as a centre-forward, which is where I perform best. Ajax always appealed to me from when I was young and they gave me a chance to play in the Champions League too.
