I was a No. 9 for so long and that's what I knew. And I think, me as an attacking midfielder, or any kind of midfielder, I should be in and around the box and have that mindset that I'm going to score and help my team as much as possible.

Lindsey Horan

I have already worked Dunga. He helped me at Internacional, making me a more defensive midfielder. But I can play as a first or second midfielder, like I do at Shakhtar.

Fred

All players rolled into one: from defensive midfielder to attacking midfielder to attacker. I want to take the qualities from everyone. I'd like to get to the level where I have everything: Vieira, Deschamps, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Henry, Ronaldo. It wouldn't be bad, that.

Paul Pogba

Pogba is a midfielder who has all the qualities. When you are a midfielder you normally have some special qualities but he has everything.

Ander Herrera

Frank was an example throughout my career at Chelsea, and throughout my career as a midfielder. When it comes to scoring goals as a midfielder, you look at Frank Lampard as a role model.

Mason Mount

I've always been this kind of player: since youth level I've been a midfielder who can arrive and finish.

Paulinho

For Argentina I'm a central midfielder. Always have been and always will be.

Javier Mascherano

I was only used to 4-3-3. For me as a left-winger you have also a left midfielder and a left-back behind you. But in a 4-4-2 you are basically also the left midfielder so you have to help more in defence and I wasn't used to that.

Ryan Babel

As a midfielder, you are always going to have that pressure in there to move the ball quickly.

Mason Mount

As a striker, as I originally was, and then an attacking midfielder, it has always been my aim in life to embarrass goalkeepers: to dominate them, to force them into mistakes.

Paul Scholes

I have been a midfielder who is a regular goalscorer and scoring 20 in a season was normal for me.

Oscar

I've always seen myself as a midfielder but wherever I'm being told to play in the middle or somewhere, I will always give my best.

Alex Iwobi

Paul Scholes would have been one of my first choices for putting together a great team - that goes to show how highly I have always rated him. An all-round midfielder who possesses quality and character in abundance.

Marcello Lippi

Samir Nasri is a very technical player who always made the difference playing as a midfielder when he is fit.

Manuel Pellegrini

Matuidi is a midfielder of international importance that has everything and gives it all. He is physically strong, intelligent, always progressive with the ball.
