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.
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.
I'm a very versatile player, I have covered many midfield roles but my favourite one is the centre-midfield.
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.
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'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.
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.
It doesn't matter who you play against in midfield, you need to try to come out on top and more often than not when a team wins a midfield battle they normally have a good chance of winning the game because that's where a lot of the play goes through.
I prefer to play in midfield, whether that is attacking midfield or defensive midfield.
When I play in central midfield, that's my favourite position.
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.
I'm a centre forward, and that is my preferred position. But I'll play on the wing or in midfield, wherever the manager wants me to play.
John Bond has brought in a young left-sided midfield player, who I guess will play on the left side of midfield.
The manager might like it sometimes when I play up front because I can cause trouble for the defenders, but for me, my best position is defensive midfield, stopping the opposition, and then looking to impose myself on a game.
I asked to play for the Under-20's to have more game time but eventually the only position where I was going to get that game time was at centre-back.
My position at Tottenham was in the centre of midfield, and I have played there for Croatia, I feel I am best there.
I am actually comfortable in every position in midfield. At Bayern Munich, I even played as a winger and sometimes a full-back, so I can play many different positions.
