In my country, they used to call players who play in my position a defensive midfielder, but it is not defensive.

Fernandinho

On a tactical level the defensive midfielder in a 4-3-3 formation is just about the most demanding position there is.

Sergio Busquets

Sometimes I look at myself and ask, 'What is my best position?' But I think it's a defensive midfielder; that's the best one.

Marouane Fellaini

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.

Fred

All players rolled into one: from defensive midfielder to attacking midfielder to attacker. I want to take the qualities from everyone. I'd like to get to the level where I have everything: Vieira, Deschamps, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Henry, Ronaldo. It wouldn't be bad, that.

Paul Pogba

Everyone knows where I play, as a defensive midfielder, more or less the same, so in the last six or seven years I play in that position and there is nothing new for me.

Nemanja Matic

I'm not really a defensive midfielder.

Jack Wilshere

Everybody has to play for their team and accept his role, even if you are in a defensive position sometimes. That is the key if you want to have success.

Michael Ballack

I prefer defensive midfielder because I know my job when I play there. More things are in front of you.

Marouane Fellaini

Frank was an example throughout my career at Chelsea, and throughout my career as a midfielder. When it comes to scoring goals as a midfielder, you look at Frank Lampard as a role model.

Mason Mount

When I arrived at Benfica I'd been playing like a No. 10 in the team, but the first thing the coach did was tell me: 'You are going to be a defensive midfielder here.'

Nemanja Matic

I can be the only defensive midfielder and try and break up play. Or I can play a little more forward.

Sergio Busquets

I am a midfielder who is mainly involved in the defensive phases, even if I also like to help build moves - I would say that my foremost quality is my generosity.

Yaya Toure

I'm not a left midfielder. I hate that position, I don't like it.

Robert Snodgrass

My favourite position is as midfielder, playing with Xabi and Khedira.

Luka Modric

When I first came in the NBA League you were slotted into a position and you did what you were slotted to do and there wasn't much room to expand your role. Today's game with the offensive schemes and the defensive schemes, it really allows to have a lot more creativity as a basketball player.
