A midfielder should be able to play several positions.
It's different to play midfielder and striker or No. 10, but I enjoy all the positions I can play.
I'm lucky to have played two different positions. But of course the experience I gained as a full back - knowledge of defending, and taking up the right positions, helps me as a midfielder.
It's good that I can play in two positions, as a centre-back or as a holding midfielder, as I just want to get minutes and get games.
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.
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.
It's important for any player to be versatile enough to be able to play in different positions.
I think I am strong on the field, I am versatile, I can play in several midfield positions. Some coaches like that, it grabs their attention, it is a big deal for me.
There are no hopeless positions; there are only inferior positions that can be saved. There are no drawn positions; there are only equal ones in which you can play for a win. But at the same time, don't forget that there is no such thing as a won position in which it is impossible to lose.
I've almost lost several times but come through that. Being able to play your way through the tournament is really able to help.
My hopes and aspirations haven't changed since I started in this business. They've been to be able to play drama, to be able to play comedy, to be able to play leading men, and to be able to play character roles. I have no other aspirations in this regard.
There were a large number of Jews who held more favorable positions than they should have, according to their percentage of the population. Germans should have held those positions.
I'm a veteran. I understand the game. I can control a game. I understand systems. I can play several positions.
I can be the only defensive midfielder and try and break up play. Or I can play a little more forward.
The way the NBA is going forward with versatility and everybody being able to play multiple positions, I'll fit right in.
Different managers play different systems, and you've got to be able to play in different positions.
One day I won't play for Barcelona. I'll go and play somewhere else, and I'm sure I'll do so as a central midfielder. That's what I'll try to do because it's the position I like.
