I'm a very versatile player, I have covered many midfield roles but my favourite one is the centre-midfield.
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.
If you win the midfield, you probably win the game. But that doesn't mean the players in the midfield are the ones alone who determine that, because now we have strikers who drop into midfield and defenders who move up into the midfield. It is the area you must dominate.
I've played all over, to be honest. Centre-half, defensive midfield, attacking midfield.
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.
I prefer to play in midfield, whether that is attacking midfield or defensive midfield.
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.
John Bond has brought in a young left-sided midfield player, who I guess will play on the left side of midfield.
The No 10 position is my favourite role, and I'm a player who likes to play in between the lines and try and break that midfield line.
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.
In the midfield, I'm not the most comfortable playing with my back to the goal, and in the midfield you find that ball a lot.
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.
But I loved playing in midfield. In midfield you always have a sight of goal, you're always participating in all the plays.
I would say I am more comfortable in the centre of midfield. But when you are at a big club like Liverpool, you maybe get played in positions with which you might not be so familiar. But you have got to learn the different roles, because it gives you a better opportunity to play.
When I play in central midfield, that's my favourite position.
The midfield is the heartbeat of a football team, it's the centre of the action, so you can't just do one thing.
My position at Tottenham was in the centre of midfield, and I have played there for Croatia, I feel I am best there.
