A Quote by Joe Gomez
I know if I'm playing centre-back, there are certain places where you don't give your full-back the ball - because I've been the full-back!

I want to be the most expensive full-back ever because when you reach that it shows that you are one of the best full-back of the world.
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.
Ian Holloway played wingers higher up and then wanted us to come back and receive the ball; Dougie Freedman didn't want us to come back too much because he wanted us to attack; Tony Pulis made the team sit back so it was literally you against the full-back.
I've seen firsthand coming here with empty pockets but full of dreams, full of desire, full of will to succeed, but with the opportunities that I had, I could make it. This is why we have to get back and bring California back to where it once was.
Right-wing, pivot, centre-back, full-back, right, left. I've never felt uncomfortable anywhere.
I think I'm more than capable of playing in positions such as right-back, centre-back and centre-mid.
I've turned into a full-back who pushes forwards whereas in Italy usually the full-back concentrates more on defending.
I always loved hitting a low fade to a back-right pin with the wind howling from the right. Not many guys could get it close in that situation, because they kept it low by just putting the ball back in their stance. You see, playing the ball back turns you into a one-trick pony - you can only hit hooks.
I wanted to be a centre back but I was always stepping over the ball and playing one-twos.
Let me go back to a comfortable analogy for me - sports... basketball. I use it because you're naive if you don't see the national full-court press picking away right now: A good point guard drives through a full court press, protecting the ball, keeping her eye on the basket... and she knows exactly when to pass the ball so that the team can WIN.
Even though I started out at right-back, I actually enjoy the contrast of playing both at full-back and in midfield. Both require physical attributes and a lot of energy.
Obviously, it's not the same when you play at wing-back. You don't have to defend as much. You don't get exposed in defensive situations as much as when playing as a full-back, so it is definitely different, but it is not something that it is totally alien to me.
With the inevitability of a tongue returning to probe a painful tooth, we come back and back and back again to our fears, sitting to talk them over with the eagerness of a hungry man before a full and steaming plate.
I dribbled by the hour with my left hand when I was young. I didn't have full control, but I got so I could move the ball back and forth from one hand to the other without breaking the cadence of my dribble. I wasn't dribbling behind my back or setting up any trick stuff, but I was laying the groundwork for it.
I have been playing professionally since I was 18 at right-back. To get to your first World Cup and probably not playing in your preferred position, where you want to showcase your talent, is not disappointing, but it is like, 'OK, it is a little bit of a step back.'
People’s souls are like gardens. You can’t turn your back on someone because his garden’s full of weeds. You have to give him water and lots of sunshine.
