I've played all over, to be honest. Centre-half, defensive midfield, attacking 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.
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.
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.
John Bond has brought in a young left-sided midfield player, who I guess will play on the left side of midfield.
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.
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.
I'm a very versatile player, I have covered many midfield roles but my favourite one is the centre-midfield.
But I loved playing in midfield. In midfield you always have a sight of goal, you're always participating in all the plays.
Defensive midfield can be the one position that's easier to play as you get older.
I just want to be able to be an attacking influence and have that effect further up the pitch; whether that's from an attacking midfield position or one of the wider positions coming in, I'm not too fussed.
I find it interesting as every year people say the midfield is as tight as ever but it is always tight, it is always competitive. I've pretty much spent my entire career in the midfield so I know about it!
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.
You cannot play the position Kroos plays in defensive midfield besides Luka Modric better than he does.
I prefer advanced midfield, like a No. 10, but you know me: I'll play anywhere for Villa.
If you are playing on the left of a four-man midfield, there are a lot more defensive duties to do, so you can't find the times to keep attacking. But if you're on the left of a 4-3-3, I find that position really good as well.
